Introduction [0:00]
Rahul announces that he will be discussing the end of a significant chapter in his life: his divorce, which was finalised on December 12th after six years of marriage. He mentions that there had been ongoing problems for a while.
The Beginning and Early Problems [0:19]
Rahul explains that he and his wife had a love marriage in February 2020, after dating for two and a half years. Despite warnings from close friends about existing red flags and problems between them, they proceeded with the marriage. Within six months, his wife filed a false 498A case against him, leading to six months of court appearances to resolve the matter. Although they reconciled and decided to stay together, Rahul admits that he never fully recovered from the initial betrayal and lost trust in his wife.
Years of Turmoil [1:37]
The next four years were marked by constant arguments, emotional and mental abuse from both sides, and a decline in intimacy. Rahul describes their relationship as becoming increasingly toxic, with a significant drop in their sexual frequency, signalling a serious problem. Trust and mutual respect deteriorated, and they began living more like roommates than partners.
The Final Straw [2:54]
In June 2024, his wife's childhood friend, on whom she had a long-standing crush, was getting divorced. She saw this as an opportunity to pursue a relationship with him and asked Rahul for a divorce. After a brief attempt at reconciliation, they separated for two months but decided to give their marriage another chance. However, within two weeks of getting back together, their arguments resumed, and both regretted their decision.
Infidelity and the Second Divorce [4:51]
In February, Rahul discovered intimate Telegram chats between his wife and a man from her HR department, confirming an affair. Despite Rahul's previous warnings, she had continued the relationship. He realised that "cheaters never stop" and that the affair was the final nail in the coffin. When their initial divorce hearing from June 2024 came up in June 2025, Rahul revealed his knowledge of the affair in court. His wife initially resisted, but the hearing was dismissed. Despite her superficial apologies, Rahul recognised the years of emotional and physical neglect, mental and emotional abuse, and the crossing of boundaries. He decided to proceed with a second divorce filing.
Finalising the Divorce [7:54]
Even leading up to the final divorce date in December, his wife tried to reconcile, but Rahul remained firm. He recognised her psychological issues, which she refused to address, and her tendency to blame him for her actions. He decided to end the marriage respectfully, acknowledging that there was nothing left to salvage. He agreed to a financial settlement as a gesture of gratitude for the years she had been with him. On the day of the divorce, she was emotional but still blamed him. They shared a final pizza at the place where they had their first date.
Lessons and Moving Forward [9:13]
Rahul reflects on why people fear separation, noting that it's often the fear of the pain of separation rather than deep love. He stresses the importance of not compromising on personal values like respect, trust, and peace to save a relationship. He advises learning to bear the pain of separation, as it eventually leads to healing and a fresh start. He encourages viewers not to fear being alone and to focus on building a fulfilling life with friends, pets, work, health, and wealth.
Conclusion [14:07]
Rahul concludes by urging viewers to leave toxic relationships, regardless of the cost. He points out that staying with a known "devil" is foolish out of fear of the unknown. He shares that despite the painful journey, he is at peace with his decision. He encourages viewers to focus on personal growth, explore the world, and find a mission in life. He ends by expressing hope that his story provides insight and encouragement to those going through similar experiences.
