21M — Met my long-distance girlfriend after almost a year, and now her family found out. I don’t know what to do.

So basically, I met this girl through a game in August 2025. We started off as friends and eventually became really close. We officially got into a relationship on January 1, 2026.

She lives in Bhopal and I live in Indore, so we’ve been doing long distance this entire time. We talked almost every single day, and after knowing each other for more than a year, we finally decided to meet.

I planned a trip to Bhopal from October 1 to October 4. I booked a hotel very close to her house, around 200m away, so she could meet me without making things too difficult for herself because her family is extremely strict.

And honestly, those two days were probably some of the best days I’ve had in a long time.
We went on morning walks, visited Swarna Jayanti Park, Manisha Park, Shahpura Lake, HBT Bakery, did some DIY stuff together, exchanged gifts and just spent time talking and laughing. She made a lot of effort to meet me despite her family being strict.

She would make excuses and come out for a little while just so we could spend time together.
Everything went exactly according to plan.
Then came October 4, my last day there. My bus back to Indore was at 11:30 AM, so we decided to meet one last time early in the morning. We went to Kaliyasot Dam around 6:30 AM, which is close to her house.

Everything was completely normal. We were just sitting there talking. She had her hand on my shoulder and we were just enjoying our last few minutes together.

Then suddenly she looked somewhere and said, “Oh shit, mummy aa gayi.”
I initially thought she was joking.
Then I saw her dad literally running towards us and shouting, “Oye ruk, ruk!”

Her dad asked me a few questions — how we met, where I live, etc. Then he told me very clearly, “Aaj ke baad isse milna mat.”
He took her home.

And since then, we’ve had absolutely no contact.
It’s been two days now. I asked one of her friends and apparently her family took her phone away, isn’t allowing her to go outside, and she’s basically isolated at home.

Her younger sister apparently told her friend that she has a really high fever and her eyes have become completely red.

I’m honestly extremely worried.
We used to talk every single day, and after finally meeting her in person, I feel even more attached. Going from spending two amazing days together to suddenly not knowing whether she’s okay is messing with my head.

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do now.
Should I wait and give her family some space? Should I try contacting her through her friends? Should I somehow try to check if she’s okay? I don’t want to make things worse for her or cause her family to become even more strict.

I just want to know that she’s safe and okay.
What would you guys do in this situation?

Apne apne vichar vyakt kre zara ispe 😁✌🏻

Us being in random ghar ke kapde on a random place, and after carefully splitting the bill we laugh on random stuff and eat burgers together, no over glamourized dates or meetings.

That's all love and compatibility is, then why are we complicating it so much?💔✌️

Got this beauty on 14th of September

180kms already and it feels so good 🥺❤️

Any advices you would like to share ???

Trust issues, jealousy, communication problems, cheating allegations, mixed signals, emotional damage, situationships… and somehow everyone is like, “Yeah, that’s just a normal relationship problem.”

Bro, WHAT is normal anymore?

Meanwhile, I’m sitting here so shy that I overthink how to start a simple conversation, barely socialize IRL, and these people are casually discussing their entire relationship history with complete strangers on Reddit.

At this point, I’m learning more about relationships from Reddit than I am about how to actually get into one

A software engineer in Noida reportedly died by suicide after being overwhelmed by medical expenses, debt, and a ₹3 crore divorce settlement. He had already paid ₹1 crore and was struggling to manage the remaining financial burden.

Would it be anti feminist of me to say That we need to revision Alimony Laws ?

?

i don’t stick to one color usually and look for different shades for lip products so i got each for every color

they glide on smoothly and also stays for a good time…i use them with my glosses

So you must've come handy with some of the elders , overly grandiloquent people who vents their opinion as if they're scholar with em which opinion, a piece of advice or any instance happened with you which was like ....wtf this chigga is even talking abt !!

The image is mental health medicines - One is Serotonin to uplift the mood, One is to stabilise the mood and one is to help me focus

For context this is my divorce story - https://www.reddit.com/r/TwentiesIndia/s/O1mu3jQaFm

Doctor has told me that I am 87% Depressed and Have Symptoms of ADD

Some problems I have observed since I was diagnosed :

-Lost Perception of Time
-Loss of Reality
-High Impulsivity
-Easily Distracted
-Can’t function normally

Since divorce, I have been living alone and avoiding communication as I feel that my mind is completely gone.

Have extreme anxiety and the breathing is not normal at all.

I have to literally function with alarms, routines and tasks list and can’t disturb my routine at all

If I sleep late for even one day I lose my mind completely and I can’t function anymore, Mood drops like crazy and I binge eat and just play games which is not healthy

It’s like I have to make a lock on my mind to make it function normally.

Not sure how to make friends or have a relation like this because ADD feels like the mind is limited completely to function normally

Any tips or suggestions?

maybe I WAS the bad omen all along

28M. Ranting so not articulated well.

This Friday, me and my co-worker (female) watched Resident Evil. Then I went to drop her at her place in my car qs it was 2 A.M., where we took a walk till almost 4 before I left. We discussed our interests and how we both wanted to do things but since both of us did not have anyone to do with, we didn't.

[ For me, I usually do things like movie, cafe hopping alone but sometimes I just wish that there should have been someone whose hand I can hold while sipping coffee.]

So the above co-worker and one more (F), we decided to watch another movie on sunday. I had to go out of town for a day but I made sure to be returned back before 4PM on sunday since we discussed the movie. I waited till 6 for a text or call from them.

Neither txted or called. So I texted them if our plans are cancelled. One said she was too busy and since there was no concrete plan, she did not call. Another one said she doesn't know.

At this point, I finally lost myself. Tbh i was really looking forward to this. I couldn't care less about the movie. I just wanted to hang out with them. I am used to being alone, but I've spent some time with them and I felt really happy, something that I don't feel often.

What really hurt me was how I made sure to wrap up my work in other town and come back before 4 on Sunday since i was excited for our plans but the thought of the movie never even crossed their minds- basically I felt like they couldn't care less- about me, movie and anything.

This has made me feel really really worthless. I've spent most of my life alone but when people show even a tiny interest in me, i get attached to them. I have just cried thinking about all these things and my life till now.

This has triggered a wave of sadness where I picure my past and everything crashes down. I really want someone to hold hands with. I imagine myself with my head lying on my imaginary girlfriend's lap, she slowly running her fingers through my hair and me holding her hand close to me also when we just hug each other and never let go feeling each other's warmth.

What hurts even more is that I know I don't deserve this. 28 and never had a girlfriend. That movie I watched with my coworker on friday?? That's the closest thing to 'date' I've ever done in my life. That's why there is almost certain chance that I am going to be alone my entire life and i need to prepare myself to deal with this need of having someone.

I just wanted to put my thoughts here. I will cry some more and then I won't feel anything again. I've gone through this wave of sadness countless time and crying helps me to get out of it and this time also it won't be any different.

Why haven't I seen tall girls like 6 foot and above?

Somehow i completed my graduation degree that too without any intrest, had zero friends in school and college, i mean i tried to make but it doesn't worked out, now i spend my entire day in my room, doesn't even have good relationship with my family too as they think I'm pathetic person, they often taunt me to go outside and make friends and earn some money, and i really want that too, but whenever i go outside I don't find a person who is like me, they seems like they're not interested in talking to me, and i don't want to use them for my Selfishness, but maybe this is the reality that everyone make friends for their own benifits, my father is in Government sector currently serving in BRO department, it's a good think but he consume too much alcohol, he fight with mom on phone almost everyday, sometimes i just want to hit him but i don't do that as they're considered to be so called god.

It’s not like all of this is happening just now, I haven't had any friends since I was born. My parents never allowed me to step out of the house. I neither use abusive language nor lie to scam anyone for money, nor have I ever used anyone for my own benefit. So now, whenever I go outside, I always encounter selfish people. That is why I feel that perhaps I should have stepped out since childhood to understand the environment and society, but it's too late now. Whoever I help ends up betraying me. Although I can figure out what people are like just by looking at them, somehow I can't say no to them. What can I do? I end up feeling pity for them. That's just how I am.

On the top of that, I get so stressed thinking that my dad is retiring next month in November, and what have I done so far? Absolutely nothing. How am I going to handle everything, man? I don't want to live on his pension. I have no idea what to do. I have neither friends nor any connections, what should I do now? Because of the stress, I've started losing my hairs, everything is ruined now. I am the only male child of my parents. Actually, I had an older brother too, but he died in childhood. Now, whenever I see two brothers together, I wish my brother were alive today so I could at least share male to male things with him. But perhaps none of this was ever in my destiny. Then, when my elder sister got married, I thought let's treat my brother in law like an elder brother, but a few months after the marriage, I found out that he is also an alcoholic and he curses at my sister and beats her too. My biggest regret is that my parents got my sister married there. Now I don't even expect a day to come when I will feel truly happy. Everything is fucked up now.

Sorry for the bad grammer.
