“Shaadi mein akela ya unheard feel ho raha hai, kya karu?”
You can be married, share a home and a bed, and still feel alone. It usually starts quietly: conversations shrink to logistics, fights repeat, one person stops sharing because it never lands. None of this means the marriage is over. It means the two of you have stopped reaching each other, and that can change.

Who can I talk to about marriage problems if I cannot tell my family?
A trained listener or a counsellor is a safe first step: no judgement, no gossip, and the conversation stays there. If the problems are long-standing or heavy, a couples counsellor is worth it.
When to talk to someone
A friend, a listener or a counsellor are all good options; the right one depends on how heavy it feels and how long it has lasted. If something has been affecting your sleep, work or relationships for weeks, talking to a licensed counsellor is a good step. Listeners on Clarity are available any time for the days in between.
