When Marriages Fall Apart: A Reflection on Love, Illness, and Choices

She stood in silence, torn in two,
A love once promised, now lost in blue.
Fate whispered pain, the vows grew weak,
But who is to blame when hearts can't speak?

Marriage, Promises, and Unexpected Turns

Marriage is often seen as a lifelong journey, built on love, trust, and commitment. But what happens when an unforeseen tragedy tests those very foundations?

A few months ago, a friend of mine got married. After her wedding, I chose to step back, believing in giving space to newlyweds. Life went on, until last Friday when I heard something shocking. she and her husband were filing for divorce.

The Unfolding Story: Love, Distance, and an Unseen Battle

They had lived together for only a few days before separating. Initially, it seemed only her husband showed care. Then, one day, he developed a persistent cough. A medical check-up revealed a devastating truth, he was in the final stages of cancer.

My friend, instead of sharing her pain, carried it alone. But over time, her family discovered the truth and decided to help her move forward, by encouraging her to divorce him.

Who is Right? Who is Wrong?

This story leaves behind difficult questions:

Should she stay and support him, knowing his time is limited?
Was his illness hidden before marriage, or was it an unfortunate discovery after?
If she stays, what happens to her after he is gone?
Can love and responsibility coexist when faced with such an overwhelming reality?

Marriage is more than just a legal agreement. it is about standing by each other in every season of life. Yet, in situations like this, there is no easy answer.

Final Thoughts: Is Love Enough?

Would things have been different if they were deeply in love from the start? Would love have given them the strength to face this tragedy together? Or sometimes, does life’s harsh reality outweigh the most heartfelt promises?

There are no clear answers, just emotions, choices, and consequences. And sometimes, we are left with nothing but silence.

Life in Bengaluru: Stories from a 6 KM Journey

Life in Bengaluru Bengaluru's Rhythm On my ride through the busy street, Couples, parents, all I meet. Buses full, faces tired, Lovers lost, in love inspired. Old ones selling to survive, Transgender voices, staying alive. Cars honk, engines roar, But flowers bloom beneath the floor, Amidst the dust, they stand and soar. In the rush, life moves on, Every face tells a story, drawn. - @Satyaharishchandraa Every morning, I ride my Xpulse through the bustling streets of Bengaluru. It’s a short distance, just 6 kilometers, but the journey takes nearly 30 minutes due to the infamous city traffic. Yet, in those 30 minutes, I witness countless stories unfolding around me, a reflection of the city’s heartbeat. I see young couples on bikes or in cars, heading to work. They talk, laugh, or simply enjoy each other’s company, ignoring the chaos of the road. Parents hurry to drop their children at school, managing time between family and work. At bus stops, people stand in long lines, waiting fo...
