I liked a girl who is also a family friend, so I asked my mom to send a rishta. Initially, her family declined, saying they weren't looking to marry her off yet. However, they later approached my mom, and we ended up getting married.
Eight months into our marriage, a conversation brought a massive truth to light. Apparently, my wife had a boyfriend in university. They were deeply in love, but her parents completely disapproved. Her family ultimately rushed her into marrying me because they feared she would rebel or do something drastic.
She has sworn to me that the relationship was never physical. However, she admitted that she only agreed to marry me because of intense parental pressure. She says she is happy with me now and that I’ve been a better husband than that guy could ever be—but in the same breath, she told me that he will always be the love of her life and she can never love me the way she loved him.
I’m completely numb and don't know how to feel. I love her, but I can no longer look at her the same way. Knowing I was just a safe, forced compromise hurts deeply.
What would you do if you were in my shoes? How do you live with someone knowing you're second best to a memory?

Hi people. I’m looking for a new email client other than Gmail, outlook and Apple’s native mail app. My requirement is that the app should be able to filter unwanted emails. In my opinion, outlook does a great job filtering out focused and others email which Gmail and Apple mail doesn’t do. I won’t mind paying for the service if gets the job done.

Hey folks. I was looking at their stats on Spotify. Bullet has 5.6 million monthly listeners. This is more than almost all metalcore bands. They are only behind bands like Bad Omens, Falling in Reverse, or Bring Me the Horizon. Those bands are metalcore, but they have a different type of fan following, which bullet for My Valentine doesn’t have (thank god for that). Why do you think BFMV is huge compared to other bands like Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, or even Trivium (Giggles)?
