 I am in love with a married man. We live in the same building and my family has known him for a long time -- ever since I was born that is. He is much older than me. I'm 20, and started feeling this way about him about two years back, when I caught him giving me a strange look, which he hurriedly turned into a smile. It's a curious obsessive kind of love and is making me lose control totally. |

| He is very handsome and there is
no other man who will interest me again. I have taken to
making blank calls to him, and once I hopped into a cab
and trailed his car when he was going to office. I hate
his wife. When I see them going out together I feel very
unhappy. My soul is turning black with rage and all my
negative feelings. I think I am a very bad woman to
behave like this. I am writing out this confessional in
the vain hope that somehow it lightens my burden and
makes me forget this man. Sheena, Pune I am the mother of a 25-year-old boy. I
love my son and want the very best for him. There's
however something I have done that makes me feel very
guilty. He had been in love with a girl some years back
and they made a very beautiful couple. I didn't approve
of her at all, though, because she didn't belong to our
caste and community. In fact, I was so much against it
that one day I cooked up this story about seeing her with
another boy and told my son about it. He was heartbroken,
and without explaining anything to her broke off the
relationship. She called him up a few times, but he
refused to see her, and once when I took her call I told
her that my son had found somebody else and was getting
married soon and |

| Hi, I'm 23-yr old working
in a reputed ad agency and I've been feeling absolutely wretched and miserable
for the past few weeks over an incident concerning one of my best friends.
Though we both started working here around the same time, it was she who
soon shot ahead. And though outwardly I appeared to be the same, I was definitely
very jealous of this new position of hers. Some weeks ago I learnt that
she fell out with the company bosses over a trivial matter. Being the headstrong
person that she is, decided to resign. Instead of sympathising with her
like the others, it gave me a strange thought of satisfaction & never
once did I try to stop her. I know as a friend it was my duty to advise
her to stay and not give up such a lucrative position in the heat of the
moment, but something held me back. What's worse, I also knew of a fantastic
opening at a rival agency but I withheld this information too. Now she has
shifted to another city and I feel absolutely ashamed of my behavior. Hence
this lengthy outpouring here in the hope to feel better. Samiksha, Mumbai I've been
married for the past three yrs but my husband being in
the Merchant Navy, stays away for long periods which
makes my married life increasingly lonely & empty.
About an year ago, I got introduced to a friend of my
husband's who also happens to stay in the same
neighbourhood. He began dropping in regularly to enquire
about my welfare and I found myself getting more and more
attracted to his warm nature and vibrant personality. Now
we are on really close and intimate terms. While I do
feel guilty about cheating on my husband, I also find it
difficult to give up this relationship. I don't know
where this will lead to be because this man is a divorcee
himself, does not promise me anything in the near future.
So for the moment, I'm forced to keep our affair a
secret. The deceit and the duplicity torments me but I
just don't know how to get out of the situation. |
