I LOVE HIM SO MUCH,i know i was wrong that i lied to him.but am sorry for that.and wants marry him. But he can't forgive me. Plz suggest me something.
First of all, YOU ARE WORTH A LOT!!! Everyone has a past and so don't feel worthless because you went thru what you went thru. This Ex guy you dated manipulated you mentally and physically and that isn't your fault. You cared for him and wanted him and he didn't appreciate you. So don't carry that with you as a reason to feel worthless. Your worth isn't defined by someone else's behavior.
If your current boyfriend can't understand this then it is his problem not yours. Explain to him that you weren't ready to talk about your past and that you didn't talk because of that. If he insist feeling betrayed then give him space. Just let him clear his mind and you clear yours.
Once again you didn't do nothing wrong and your past shouldn't define you. You are complete and worth a lot.

I know in India it's not easy to talk about sex. I am Indian too so I know what you mean, but you need to find someone who actually respects you. You can't change what happened to you. It wasn't your fault. You went through something horrible, he shouldn't even be mad about you lying to him since it tortured you. But he's more mad about you not being a virgin? That means he only cares about your body and that's wrong.

It doesn't sound like he would have to me.
It sounds like he's has decided that your virginity was the only thing you had that had value to him. That's not love. That's not respect. And that's unlikely to change.
You can't win back what you lost, not because you lied, but because he cannot respect or love the human being you actually are. He has reduced you to nothing more than then your female body, and has decided that body has no value.
Leave him. You don't need his forgiveness. You need his respect. No matter how much you love him, he's not going to give you that. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
