Lately it seems like more and more of my female friends and family members have been the ones initiating divorce proceedings with their husbands. I can't help but wonder - what's driving this trend of women being the ones asking for divorce more often these days? Is it because we're becoming more financially independent and don't feel stuck in unhappy marriages? Or are we just generally more empowered to prioritize our own needs and happiness? @Relationshipcoachchitkala

I feel there is not one but many reasons for it. First is that ofcourse women these days have become more empowered, independent and aware of themselves. Secondly I feel that these even their family members are supporting them which was not the case in earlier times. I feel today's women are also practical in the sense that they know staying in a relationship that isn't working will waste their time and efforts only so might as well get a divorce and find someone better.

I believe divorce are increasing because of expectation from marriges are very high especially in love marriage and after marriage all expectation are just like imagination and the reallity is totally different. relation between husband and wife will be good if in laws not interfere between them.

Hey guys. I've always been in a toxic household and wanted to leave just as soon as I can. I couldn't go out for my studies as they didn't allow me but now when I'm in a stable and loving relationship I'm thinking of getting into a live in. Now the thing is my parents aren't allowing it and my boyfriend is pestering me. What do I do now.???

Why is your boyfriend pestering you for it? You should first consider everything and then go for it. And try to persuade your parents more(ik its hard with strict parents,can totally relate)

Psychologist_BhumikaSehra・6d

Hey there, Getting pressured by both sides can certainly be uncomfortable and challenging to deal with, but it's also your decision about your life so try to analyse the pros and cons of either step you wish you take and understand what might be good for you. It can certainly be uncomfortable to get out of your comfort zone, but if it benefits you in the future, then it might even be worth it :)

My husband has cheated on me. I have also forgiven. He stayed there for a few months now. But now again he avoids me. He is not interested in having sex with me. Neither does it give me any financial or emotional sleep. I don't understand what to do. He told me once that he was not interested in me. Abhi says yes but as always only with excuses. But she had feelings for having an affair. What should I do? But if I leave, if I leave you, I have a child.. I have a daughter.

Psychologist_SriradhaPodder・3d

Hi.. hope you are well! I can understand the kind of pain and mental conflict you are going through. Before taking any decision you need to make yourself feel mentally and emotionally strong. If you are able to have a peace of mind then you can think carefully and support your daughter. Being financially independent is also a key. Please focus on these areas. Post this you will see that you are able to make better life choices.

Leave him for your wellbeing. because if he found his love then he will not be able to love you.

If you feel comfortable, have an open and honest conversation with your husband about what happened and how you feel. Communication can sometimes lead to understanding and healing.

Is it so difficult for a woman to remarry after a divorce? @DrSapna

It's All About Matrimony

DrSapna・7d

Hi… remarrying after the divorce is difficult because after the first experience and since the age has also matured our expectations are much higher and we usually have a list of what we do not want. To find the right person is the difficulty. If there are children involved the concerns of both the parties increase. It is very important to do a thorough background check for the Cause of his divorce. It is also important to understand oneself be candid about mistakes. We might have made in the first marriage and also be clear Why do we want the second marriage. marriage means compromise adjustment and some sacrifice. No matter how many times you marry. These are the changes , we all need to bring in ourselves. ,. And when we want to take all of these into consideration, the choice of groom becomes limited. Of course there might be some family or community restrictions, but Post families weren’t there divorce daughters to remarry

Sexologist_DrKalps・7d

Because in India eeryone including women consider woman must be arogant so her marriage didn't work. No one considers as it could be a man's fault. We have to start from ourselves. We should go to the root cause of divorce and should try to know reasons and conditions of both partners. When every woman starts doing it, definitely in future this condition can be changed. Also because of past trauma of failed relationship makes a lady hesitant to move ahead. But she should believe that not every man will be of same quality. So first start believing in yourself and move ahead. Just be conscious now when you are choosing next partner.

My cuzn got divorced 3 months back. His wife was emotionally abusive and manipulative. Somehow she isolated him from everybody including family. The internet talks so much about narcissistic men but let me tell you, women too can have narcissistic personality disorder. Now I want to know, How is the life of a divorced man in India?@RC_Mayanka

It can come as a surprise but not all men are living happily and not all women are in misery. They both have their problems and struggles. It's just about the pov

RelationshipCoach_DrGujral・13d

It is true that both men and women can be narcissist, but yes it is talked about most in men. as for life of a divorced man, things might be little tough when he wishes to get married again, as people will find it hard to believe that he was abused. other than that most things should be ok for him.

Ofcourse maximum women has some expectations from the relationship, women might build up their future with that person. By separation or divorce, women couldn't see the future and their dreams suddenly.. it must be empty when the person goes off from the life. Coz of that emptiness women effects psychological disturbance. In that situation they feel lack of confidence or self esteem. How long it's continue will be depends on the person.

RC_Mayanka・11d

Marriage is not just a bond between two bodies....they get attached emotionally and mentally. Its is really difficult for a person to detach from someone you loved so much. When you are trying to give your 100 percent and your partner does not care about it. Then a women's self esteem and confidence shakes.

There is nothing wrong with being in a live in. It all depends on personal values, culture, society you live in and tradition

CounsellingExpert_Satija・1d

There’s no right or wrong to this , it’s at the end about one’s personal values which play a significant stance in this . As morality is deeply personal and varies among individuals.

I have been in live-in for few months now and we are engaged also. Now I feel he is not the one for me since he is very dominating. I can't live my life on anyone else terms.

Hey! Hope you are doing well. I understand that the situation must be tough for you :/. But I also feel that it’s better to come out of it now because it’s still not too late. Have an assertive communication with your family and partner. Yes, the process will be tough to go through but the end goal will be worth it! -Sampada, Psychotherapist and Intimacy coach

Psychologist_BhumikaSehra・4d

Hey there. I understand it is difficult to take complex and life altering decisions but if it's for your comfort and well being of your future it can be a hard pill to swallow but it can also be beneficial to you in your future. it requires a difficult conversation but with effective communication Strategies and assertiveness you can stand your ground and help yourself get out of a potentially toxic relationship.

Hi. Hope you are doing well. I can understand what you are doing through :( As a therapist, I must tell you that this situation is something of a trauma bond. He constantly brings you down and you must be doing everything you can to go back to the same “initial honeymoon period”, right? Even if it involves going things you don’t want to but he wants to. I feel that in this situation, be assertive. Communicate your thoughts and feelings in a calm yet firm tone. No matter what he says, Stand your ground. If you respond differently and not like usual, he also won’t get the space to react like he usually does. If nothing changes, then sit with yourself and decide the course of this relationship. Relationships aren’t supposed to be so complicated, think and ask yourself: is this attachment worth fighting for? Take care and all the best 🩵

psychologist_sonali・7d

I can understand that even though we know we should leave, it's hard to make a decision. Make sure you build a support system for yourself; it's okay to ask for help in such situations, and believe in yourself that yes, you can do this
