This isn’t a relationship guide. It’s a reality mirror, designed to make you laugh, cringe, and wake up to what you’ve been tolerating for far too long.

Why Letting Go Brings More Love Than Holding On

Chanakya Niti: 10 Traits in Indian Men That Can Save Any Indian Marriage

Marriage doesn’t break people. It shows you who entered a partnership to build and who entered because they couldn’t sit alone with themselves. It exposes men who wanted a family versus men who wanted a witness to their ego, their anger, and their unfinished childhood.

Conversations around alimony are often loud, angry, and stripped of context. This article steps away from outrage to examine what marriage and divorce actually look like for women. It explores careers put on hold, unpaid caregiving, custody responsibilities, and the social judgment women face for seeking financial support. It also questions why women are quickly labeled immoral or opportunistic for asking for stability after separation.
