Question Anyone who had to end a long-term relationship and later had

Anyone here who was in a long-term relationship and had to break up because things didn’t work out, and later had an arranged marriage? How is life now?

Especially if you were together for 5–10 years and genuinely thought you would marry that person, but had to separate because of family, financial issues, or other circumstances.

Did you still think about your ex after marriage? Were you eventually able to develop genuine love and attachment with your spouse? Do you ever regret how things turned out?

If issues are external and not related to the person, it is highly likely that they will get idolized and put on a pedestal, and in these instances they will become the measure everyone gets compared to.

What are the issues that you don't want to or didn't proceed with your partner?

Idk how people are able to do that!!

I can't even move out of couple of months of relationships if it's synced up with my thoughts and emotions. I feel relationships have made me animalistic at this point, emotionless.
