Family court's unforgettable incident

Field work in Family court Bandra is a part of my MA Counselling course in TISS. Today I met a celeb couple who wanted to get separated mutually. I cannot reveal their names for confidentiality reasons. Their marriage relationship was intimate & everything was fine initially. Both earned well. Unfortunately money always doesn’t do good. Husband got addicted to alcohol after some years of their marriage & it affected their relationship.

His wife with her tremendous endurance worked extremely hard to make her husband sober & eventually got success. I’m so very glad to have met such a strong woman who tolerated so much & could have left her husband to start a new life.

Now as her husband is sober she wants to quit their relationship. Husband reluctantly agreed to his wife’s decision as he understands the mistakes that he committed & is willing to do anything for her. He looked very much in love with her & had tears in his eyes while sharing his past. He feels blessed as his wife remained patient, hopeful, tolerated a lot of violence & brought him to the right track. He believes that he would have been nowhere if his wife wouldn’t have been with him & supported him. He prefers to do whatever his wife wants him to do now & would love to bring her back to his life after their separation.

I respect their decision & the noble work that she did of bringing her husband to the right track. Her husband has a great sense of humour. Throughout the counselling session I kept laughing on the jokes he cracked with tears in his eyes. I wondered why would a woman leave such a humorous man but unfortunately life doesn’t progress with just humour.

The couple were so down to earth & spoke with me so nicely. While moving out of the room the man shook hands with me & told that as you’ve heard my story so never take alcohol as you may unknowingly hurt the most important person in your life & it may even take away the most important person from your life. His wife was also very sweet & a patient woman. She said to me bye & wished GOD’s blessings to me.

From this I incident understand that the woman had tremendous endurance, patience & strength to tolerate. Her loved was unsullied & unconditional.  She did whatever she thought was right.

Wherever their life takes them may they always have immeasurable happiness & peace.
