Seems to be my day for giving relationship advice..lol

This is complicated. Although you didn't even hold hands you have talked about marriage so it could be that she thinks that you both are going to marry sometime in future. I don't know whether both of you go to the same uni but if its different unis it will be easier because you are not seeing each other daily. A time apart is good in this case. But in the end you will need to be honest. Maybe ask her first about where she thinks that the relationship is going. It might be that she also feels the same as you, the other person can sense when the relationship isn't going well and she may have picked up on your feelings. The worst would be if she feels apprehensive about the relationship but says it's going ok just because she thinks that is what you would like to hear.

You say that you still love her so it could be that the relationship is a distraction but maybe in future you will get married but now you just want to concentrate on your Sikhi. From what you say your relationship was more of friends talking about getting married rather than a relationship leading to marriage.

Best to be honest but still not hit her with what you feel like all in one go. The worst you can do it hurt her and hurt her Sikhi as well.

Hope that helps!

If you want to end things permenantly, than you should tell her that. However, if you want to "hold things off" because you still want to get married to her in the future, then you NEED to explain that to her. You can't just leave her hanging. Its not fair to her. If you guys have a good relationship right now, then why not just remain friends? Just keep your contact limited. That way, you won't get too emotionally attached to her and it won't bring down your Sikhi. In the end, its all about communication. I think if you both talks things out then everything should be ok.

how abt adding something urself aswell?

ok, mate I really think u need to talk it through and talk it through and well talk it through.

if u just walk away with a bakwas reply it will def break her. and with uni she cant afford to be like that.

its worse when ur amritdhari cos she doesnt expect u to be the typical bloke that just walks away but she perhaps thought something serious was gonna come out of this.

dunno if she been in a r'ship b4 but if she aint then u need to be more careful.

one thing im confused abt is u love her but u want to leave her, but then what abt when u get married and if u get married to someone else, is it fair on your wife, afterall ur feelings for this girl wont just vanish.

course it aint right to be dating as amritdharis but cant u guys just tell ur parents and get it official, that way it aint wrong.

but im not being rude but u sure u really love her if u willing to leave her just like that when i think there are other options?

how about asking Guru ji if you should break it or not?

like someone told me before it is not always simple to derive a "yes" "no" answer from a hukamnama so what you can do is get two pieces of paper - write yes on one and no on the other and then fold them up or something and put them in a bag or something - after doing prayers/ardaas ask Guru ji to guide you and pick out a paper at random and that will be the answer Guru ji determines

and before any one mocks my idea - i have to say it has worked for me a few times and i only carried it out after 4 different chardi kalla brothers advised me to

about your situation - if you are not happy or you know inside you want/need to get out then you should - past experiences have denoted that it's not always a good idea to do something i.e. carry on with the relationship in fear of hurting someone because then in the end you will be the one who has regrets - end of the day whatever happens is because God has willed it - maybe you owed each other something from a past life - this may sound harsh but it's your life and sometimes you have to be selfish and do what is best for you according to the way YOU feel not the way someone else expects/wants you to feel

both of you will have to accept Guru ji's decision - as hard as it may be

hope that helps

great replies/suggestions

i wud say definately tell the gurl exactly how u feel n dun keep her in the dark

if u two hav this strong emotional connection then she'll unddrstand exactly how u feel n respect u for bein straight up for her

im sure she wud nevr wana get in the way of ur sikhi and support u wit this

but most gurls mite b a lil 'broken down' by it n try n convince ya that u can do both

but the gurl will eventually understand that it wont work ... for now ... n even tho she acts a lil down sumtimes or awkward around u for a lil bit , she'll eventually realize she has nuttin to b down bout n become a stronger person

gurls r ... well ... they may act one way n feel another

they may act like they hate u for doing this to them n they cant believe wha ur saying, but (if they reli care) deep down they respect n want to help u thru everything

u two can probably stil b friends n then if u two r meant to b together in the future, u two WILL b together

if not, then it wuznt meant to b n guru ji has sumthin else planned for ya (always sumthin amazing cuz he always wnats amazin things for his children)

butt tell the gurl how u feel for sure n dun lead her on into thinkin everythin is 'fine n dandy'

she'll respect u more for bein upfront wit her n will support u in evry way possible

if it comes down to not talking at all to ya or nethin along those lines, she wud even go to that extent , i knw i wud...if i were in that position, it has to do wit sikhi, n i dun think ne woman wud ever want to get into the way of sum1 else's sikhi (same goes for men)

mmm

random thoughts

i dun think i made sense grin.gif in a few parts

bhul chuk maaf

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
