I Am Single And I Want To Marry A Divorcee With A Kid

Spread the love

I am a 29-year-old guy working in Mumbai. I am in love with a lady who is a teacher. We are in a relationship for the past two years. She’s a divorcee with a kid and she’s from an upper caste but I belong to a lower caste. My family doesn’t approve of this relationship. We want to marry without hurting anyone.

We are very sure of our relationship and we are looking forward to a future together. Can you please help us?

Being in love is different from being in a marriage

Your parents are worried about you, which is natural. But what’s more important is your maturity level, unconditional acceptance of reality and commitment towards the relationship if it runs into rough weather. Society is a reality, so you’ll need to address questions too. Are you prepared for all this?

Do you know the reason for her divorce?

Have you discussed the divorce? About her financial settlements? If not, you must.

In the end, no one can advise you. The way forward is to use your intuition, logic and the ability to handle the situation, both at present and in future. Remember, you cannot blame anyone for the steps you take in this regard as it’s your decision.

Good luck

Best,
