I had been trading F&O for three years and kept losses hidden from my fiancée. I told her I had around ₹30 lakh in investments and no major debt. In reality, after personal loans and trading losses, I was negative by almost ₹74 lakh.

Two weeks before our wedding, a loan document reached the wrong email address and she found out. Both families became involved. She postponed the wedding rather than cancelling it immediately and told me she needed to know who I actually was financially. I am now repaying debt and we are still together, but the marriage has not happened yet.
