🔺 A man is living separately from his wife for 7 years. He earns ₹50,000 per month. His wife demands ₹50 Lac in alimony in order to give him divorce. She threatens him that if he would not meet this demand and try to contest her in court, then she would file rape and dowry cases on him.
🔺 A woman is forced to live under the same roof with her husband and in-laws despite continuous physical and mental abuse. He threatens her that if she would think of divorce, then he will not only prove that she is mentally unfit but will also ensure that she never sees her kids again. Ever.
🔺 A 62 years old widower whose kids are grown-up, wants to invite love again in his life but is worried about what his kids and society will think.
🔺 A 53 years old divorced woman wants to give love a 2nd chance but feels that she has no energy and bandwidth to take the risk. What if the person turns out to be wrong for her.
🔺 A woman inclined towards same-sex relationship feels pressured to marry a man in order to protect the image and reputation of her family in the society. She feels absolutely miserable and torn to be responsible for ruining the life of this man when she already knows that she will not be able to become the wife he deserves.
🔺 I have come across men traumatised by such situation as well when they know that they only feel happy in a same-sex relationship.
These stories are just the tip of the iceberg.
You may not come across such stories much because people suffer from them in private and silence. They don't talk about it with family and friends because of 2 common reasons -
They feel others will not understand what they are going through
They don't want to upset them and make them worried
But as a Relationship Coach, I come across such cases regularly. It's what I do. Help people deal with such situations that appear almost impossible.
Such people also have a genuine need for love and connection like anybody else.
In fact, they need it lot more given their situation.
But legalities, moralities, society, family and other conditionings choke them.
When my team and I are evaluating Expressions of Interest (EoI) in Conscious Matchmaking, we pay particular attending to those EoIs where the person has mentioned that
their Divorce is In-progress
they are Separated but Divorce not filed yet
they are looking for same-sex relationship
With lot of compassion for each of these cases, we spend time to understand their situation and extent of their "stuckness".
We believe that every person deserves love and if we could bring that love to them through Conscious Matchmaking, then why not.
Having said that, it is also a fine line to identify that we are not assisting a wrong person who is only looking for a casual relationship or a fling or sex.
My team and I are well-trained to identify such people and keep them away from taking advantage of our good intentions to help a deserving person find an Ethical Companionship. A deserving person who is a victim of circumstances.
