Mack responded that she ended the relationship after discovering he was cheating on her when some of her followers asked if her husband had died.

“Thank you! My husband was not truly lost to me. When I found out he had another woman on the side, I kicked him out. I’ve never looked back since,” she said.

“I believe in arranged marriages!” says the author. Parents are the best experts on their children, and they don’t leave the decision to raging hormones. In addition, I believe that a happy marriage can be built on shared values and good faith. But I was on my own at my age,” she said in response to a tweet about arranged marriages in India.
