Questions & Answers – Episode 42 – Should I Trust My Spouse?

After an arranged marriage, my wife and I initially got along well. Unfortunately, problems started to arise, and she eventually filed court cases against me and my mother. When I went to her place to reconcile, her family mistreated and abused me both physically and verbally.

Currently, we are appealing for a settlement and mutual divorce in court. However, my wife has expressed a desire to come back to us and is no longer willing to proceed with a mutual divorce. I am hesitant to trust her and her family again due to their past behavior and mistreatment. Whenever we attempted to resolve the issues, they responded with disrespect, blame games, and insults.

I want to express my gratitude for your teachings and the wisdom of Ramesh Balsekar ji, as they have brought a sense of peace and relaxation to our lives. We have learned to accept whatever happens as God’s will and the destiny of each individual. Though we still experience pain, we have stopped blaming ourselves or others for it.

However, I am struggling with one question: Should I forget everything and bring my wife back home? Can I trust her and her family not to betray us again in the future? I am afraid of taking the risk, as it could lead to a more troublesome situation if things go wrong. I understand that destiny and God’s will play a significant role, and if it’s destined for us to be hurt again, no one can prevent it. On the other hand, if it’s destined for us not to be harmed, then nothing can hurt us. Despite this understanding, I find it challenging to fully trust this notion and make a decision.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or insights you can offer in this situation.

Thank you for your time and wisdom.
