Read all ( most to be precise ) the posts.
to be true to all of you and myself , i dont have an opinion on this ! Infact , my belief is that the myriads of human feelings and emotions is too complex to have an opinion. Scenario based analysis is more apt i beleive.
Samar mentioned that is is the power , the Strongest needs the weak the least. Somewhere it was said that the ego is the root of problems.
Now if ego is a variable to be used in analysis , then we must conclude that strong would never leave the weak ( because this event will inherently tell him that he failed in his / her relationship ; PS : I am not analysing weaker souls who dont have enough self esteem to feel such things ) .
Dont know about you , but i am confused.
Considering the scenario put forward by Shweta and some of the propsed solutions , do we seriously believe that a " Professional " help would actually help ? In the course of the treatment , it can further increase the problem because : the person himslef , the wife , the family : all are now made to believe that there is a problem and everyone is skeptical and chaos will follow. ( more often than not , simple solutions will be stripped off their effectiveness and the complex methods of a psycho treatment will only damage ). The important thing is this one must consider the patience level of the involved before before even thinking on these lines.
Another humanitarian consideration is of the people involved who are not a party to the cause at all. Think of the poor wife who has done nothing wrong and have had always dreamt of a loving and caring husband. The sacred institutions of marriage have forced upon her to live in misery and remind herself daily that she is living in misery. The bonds are too hard for her to break and instead of supporting her to free herself , the society pushes back with all the force they do.
Result : A disinterested life !!
I am forced to not believe in the sanctity of all the insitutions we have put into practice. And it does not end here.
There will be a time when the husband will bounce back ( the law of averages will prevail ) but he will not have time on his hand. The wife would have either comitted suicide by this time , would have ventured into unwillingly relations Or would have been too disinterested even to continue living or even thinking of a possibility of living again happily.
More than that , her ego will not allow her to be happy with the husband again. And there goes the final opportunity !!!
I will not end without proposing what i feel best.
Most of you would have seen the movie : Life in a metro ! for those who have not seen and are contributing to the topic , i would suggest its a must watch.
I like the movie, i was moved by the movie infact. But i hated the end which Shilpa got , and infact if someone happened to watch it closely , the touch of her husband was even not confortable to her ( even after the compromise ). I dont find that life worth living.
