God saved me from a broken marriage & heartbreak

[Amar]

God works in mysterious ways. I'm 30 and after 8 months of searching for an arranged marriage, I found a 26-year-old match who seemed perfect. Our families knew each other, everything looked smooth, and I thought, 'This is it.' Our first meeting was a bit awkward but overall good. We both said yes and our families got excited quickly. During our second meeting, she mentioned a male colleague multiple times. I noticed her eyes light up while speaking about him, which made me uncomfortable, but I ignored it. The third meeting was beautiful - I travelled to her city with flowers, and we spent hours talking. But then she casually mentioned that her colleague had been on leave and was returning that week. That's when it clicked - her extra attention and emotional availability made sense. The fourth meeting was a disaster. She seemed mentally absent and told me she had fought with her colleague. I realised she was emotionally invested in him. Still, I comforted her. Later, she didn't even text to ask if I reached home safely. Two days passed with almost no effort from her side. During another call, she talked about a female colleague who was allegedly having an affair. She observed my reactions and said, 'Even after marriage, you may also like someone else someday.' It felt like she was normalizing emotional attachment outside marriage. Our families were discussing dates and future plans, but then her mother called mine and said they don't want her to marry for at least 2 more years. That created tension, and the proposal broke off. My heart sank for 2 weeks, but now I feel God protected me from something that could have hurt me later. Sometimes rejection is not punishment, it's protection.

This is what we call 'Greh achhe Hona' - even though you were ready to dive deep into the hole, the hole shifted itself. Take care, and stay blessed OP!

Mandir jaake prasad chaada dena as a thank you - she had the whole red carpet laid out

You ignored all red flags and would have married her if she was willing. Don't be so stupid next time and spoil your life.

You are right... God saved you. Almost sure she is having an affair with her colleague, and you would have become collateral damage in the long run.

As I read through your story, I felt you ended up marrying her and now are fighting divorce. But then I read the title and saw I had misread it. Some force saved you bro. Life is that way - not all people we meet are meant to be with us forever. You will eventually meet the right person

Dude, did you have any experience with women before this?

Bullet dodged indeed.

Hi OP, my wedding got called off last year, and I was in shambles. I know how it feels. Everyone says it happened for the better, but you know how it feels to have broken an imagined future. Hugs to you. I hope you heal from it.
