“I didn’t mean for it to go this far,” Meera confessed, her voice trembling. “I… I feel like we’ve been living as strangers, and I was lonely.”
Rajiv didn’t know what to say. Anger, betrayal, sadness—they all collided inside him. And yet, amid the chaos of emotions, a quiet truth emerged: he had been feeling lonely too, for years, and hadn’t admitted it, not even to himself.
4. The Conversation
The next evening, Rajiv asked Meera to sit with him in the living room. The kids were at a sleepover with their grandparents, leaving them alone for the first time in months.
“Meera, we need to talk,” he said, his voice steadier than he felt.
She nodded, wiping the remnants of tears.
“I’ve been thinking,” he began carefully, “and I think… I want a divorce.”
The words hung in the air like a heavy curtain. Meera’s eyes widened, then filled with tears again.
“Divorce? Rajiv… is this really what you want?”
“Yes. But it’s not about anger or betrayal,” he explained. “I love you, but I don’t think we can fix this anymore. We’ve tried, in small ways, for so long, and yet… we keep drifting apart.”
Meera shook her head. “I didn’t realize you felt so… hopeless. I thought if we could just talk more, spend time together… we could fix it.”
“Talking helps, maybe,” he said, “but I don’t know if it can bring back what we had. I don’t want to live like this for another ten years, pretending everything is fine.”
