Revelation: The picture of the man who conquered my heart



I know, I owe it to ALL the people who followed my life since I joined FFF. It's an open book, and for everyone to know. My beautiful relationship with a Pakistani MD (a former co-worker in NYC) started March 15, 1995 after almost a year of courtship. He was by far, the BEST man I ever met in my entire life. He treated me like a baby, a princess, and showered me with love, and undivided attention. Drove and took me to different places for visits, and romantic dinners. Without fail, he sent me 2 dozens of long stemmed red roses each 15th of the month for 4 and a half years, and pampered me with material gifts from time to time...He mingled and made friends with all the people close to my heart. He was everything anyone would want to be and in love with. Probably, the only person who had loved me so intensely up to this date.

But even everything so beautiful had to come to an end. I had to release and give him up in September 1999. He had to fulfill his religious and cultural commitment. He's been bethrothed since childhood by his family, and breaking that commitment would change the lives of all his loved ones, as well as his own. Peril and chaos will always be a part of our lives. It was one of the most painful, if not the most painful decision that we both had to make...to say GOODBYE!

They say, it is painful to break up fighting, but I'd say, it is even more painful to separate while both of you are still so much in LOVE...Love is not all about being selfish. It is about the sacrifices that we make to see to it that every decision made is for the good and welfare of the other. I am the living testimony that indeed, IT IS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST, THAN NEVER TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL...

I am not writing this blog and be accused that I had not moved on with my life...It took me a very long time to do that, but I did. And I am not here to search for someone exactly the same as my EX either...I do know that everyone is different. All I am asking is for someone to make me FEEL complete again...but for the past 10 years, I refused to take someone or everyone I met, just so I can say that I have somebody again..No, it doesn't work that way, and it never will..I wasn't ready then, and even if I was, I did not meet the "appropriate person" that I can be MUTUALLY, emotionally engaged with...

Thank you for being the first one to view his face GEM...Like I said, this blog is written solely for the purpose of making a connection with the past and showing his face to the people who already know him by name or story...Letting go, literally happened on the day we decided we decided to separate...

But even if letting go and moving on or forward is the ultimate goal...I know that everyone will agree with me, that NO ONE....definitely, NO ONE can take the good memories away..NOT even the new persons in our lives...and that is just the fact...

Hi How appropriate that I should be the first (from the HVP family) to read this! Yes AMS, I know and feel what it's like to be swept away by a knight in shining armor. Hope this time a knight would come to the rescue of his pretty damsel so you may both live happily ever after!



CHEERS to the HAPPY VALLEY PEOPLE!

Sweet Lace...I know that you understand how and what I've been through...I am not sure if FRAZ has the same culture as my SARFRAZ (used to be mine, correction pls.! )...Maybe, yes, but his family maybe, is not as orthodox as what my EX's culture and beliefs are...You are very fortunate to have each other...Thanks for your visit..

Thank you for your very honest opinion...You are not the first one and not the last one either to say that...I am partly responsible as well...I allowed him to come into my life, even though from the very beginning, he had been honest about the situation...I was his first and last GF outside the commitment, and again, that was not only the situation at that time...my only child from my first relationship was my priority as well...Either way, there was this standing block between us at that time..Long story, but we made the most out of it...Thanks again..

Naaah I'm never here to judge you for what you write about yourself.

From reading your stories, I've got pretty familiar how much both of you maintained your love and that neither side develop any resentment or bitter feelings as you left each other. It's nice to put a clearer face to the love whom you've been talking about for real and he love you truly as well.

You both made the same choice. You're very brave for taking the chance in the past for loving him, despite knowing he would be gone later.

Hayyyzz such is life. I respect both your decisions, it was your lives after all and you were willing and able to let go because you surely loved him deeply. Wow!!!! Not people could say they made such a huge sacrifice.

Nice to reminisce. He's almost a legend.

Somehow, the person who made the blog, had a change of heart (what's new? ) , and decided to either "hide" or delete/edit that blog...But I'm sure, more than a dozen of FFF members had already read it..

Your way is the best way to go with how your mind and heart feels rather than feel forced to be with someone to love for the sake of it.

Janey, what I do is when I visit the blog's main page, I check the latest posts from different bloggers, and that's when I saw the title, which coincided with "his" visit to my blog today...Hehehehe...so, that's what makes 1+1=2 ..or will I commit the fallacy of assumption?

I guess, we are on the same page with this...I wasn't, I am NOT, and will never want to be desperate when it comes to finding a partner in life.. and that's not being arrogant..I just want to FEEL it!
