I am Tanu, 27 and working. I am attracted to my colleague. He approached me with a live-in proposal a few weeks after we had been in a serious relationship for a few months. Due to the pandemic and lockdown I had to return to my parents’ house as I lost the job.
He was supportive throughout with phone calls and chats. But suddenly his attitude has changed and he says it’s over.
I can’t get over the shock and it feels like rejection.
What can I do?

My boyfriend and I broke up in 2019 and did not stay in contact through the pandemic and lockdown. But recently I learnt that he is in a relationship with my close friend. I am happy for both of them but can’t seem to get over the fact that a third person told me about this! Neither of them had the guts to tell me that they are together. I don’t feel much for the guy but I am unable to forgive my close friend for not telling me...what should I do, I don’t want to lose her?

I am a 31 year old businessman married to a professional woman who left her flourishing career in Canada to come and settle in India. We married two years ago and now she feels I am too busy in business(she works with me) and says I don’t have a work-life balance. She has gone back and is now asking for a divorce. I don’t want to end this marriage and I believe she too would prefer that things worked out between us.
What should I do?
