‘The one who will love, will not leave you broken’

I’m working in a school. I teach computers. One of my students from 9th standard has a crush on me. How do I handle this?
Name withheld, New Delhi.
These adolescent crushes are a part of growing years. Just don’t let it grow. Talk to the student personally (inside the school premises). If it’s getting out of hand, inform the school management and inform the parents. But, please do make an honest effort to indirectly or directly express your mind. Handle it carefully.
My wife and my mother are always breaking into fights. I feel helpless. What should I do?
Ashok, Noida.
Ashok, you are in a sandwich situation. Both these relationships are very important and hence you have to be very careful in handling the emotions of the two. Firstly, try not to take ‘sides’ and be neutral. Ignorance can be bliss at times. If not, judge the situations and then handle it. If nothing is working start your family set up independently or else change the city. As a husband, please be sensitive about your wife’s expectations.
My husband has an affair with his colleague. I’m pregnant now and have just found this out. I’m helpless and shattered.

Surveys reveal that men have this tendency of adultery when their wives are expecting! Unfortunate but true. I suggest, be calm. Concentrate on your special phase of life and ignore this completely. The arrival of the new one will surely bring a change in the situation. Please don’t hesitate to let your man know that you are aware of what’s happening. Move into your parents/siblings till you deliver. Enjoy motherhood and its magic. Don’t panic. Best of luck!
I can’t forget my ex and this is not allowing me to have a normal life. How can I start a refreshed life?
Jasjit, Punjab.
Its difficult for wounds to heal. Time is the best medicine. I would suggest you to concentrate on your social life, make new friends, go for parties, movies. Divert your mind and focus elsewhere. There’s no point brooding over the past. Let bygones be bygones. The one who will love, will not leave you broken. Hence, there was no love in your past relation! Life is beautiful, just get out and explore it.
I divorced my wife last year. But I feel, I’m still in love with her. She’s seeing someone else. Feel really depressed. How can I get out of it?
Kamal, Jaipur.
You have two options - Speak to her and give the effort to start again. You can always restart the relation as a friend and take it forward. OR Forget her and start life again. There’s no point getting depressed as it was bound to happen. One of you, would have got into a relationship. As it’s her, you are affected. Don’t let this get worse. Do what I told and see what life unveils. Be happy and have peace always!
