Manju and Rishab visited our clinic to seek professional help as they were facing a lot of disputes. During the initial Couple Counselling Session, they told us it’d been five years since they had been together. They met each other in a club during the party. Initially, their relationship was very open and reasonable. They agreed that they met due to their physical needs but later got emotionally engaged.

In the Individual Counselling Sessions with Rishab, we learned that he was already married to Shefali and had two kids out of wedlock. They both completed 20 years of married life. Shefali is a homemaker, and he keeps on praising her a lot. He said that he has very healthy family relations. He is a VP in the corporate World n flourishing in his career. He told us that Manju was a hooker. She belongs to an impoverished family. He said they rarely met in the city, usually went out of town to be together, or she used to accompany him on his business trips. But now he decreased his time with her because he realized he had a family. He also told us that Manju was emotionally blackmailing him and that she would cut her wrist or tell his family about the relationship if he thought of leaving her. He disclosed that he doesn’t want to stay in this relationship anymore and wants us to help him tell this Manju.

While having the Individual counselling Sessions with Manju, she told us that her family was impoverished. Hence, she started working at a very early age as a bartender in the bar (she hid from us that she was a hooker). She said that they both met in the bar and started talking. They met each other and came closer because of their physical needs. She said that they have 15 years of an age gap. Before Rishab, she was in a relationship with a Manish. He used to pamper her a lot. It was also an extramarital affair. The guy got divorced but ignored her because of a business problem, so they broke up. This break-up greatly impacted her, so she shifted from Bombay to Delhi. Now Rishab was taking care of all of her financial needs. He even helped her in opening the dance studio. She also said that he promised her to marry, and they would still have a baby out of this relationship if he didn’t match.

In Couple Counselling Sessions, we made the girl realise that she should focus on her career, studio, health, and herself. We made her understand that Rishab is already married and has no plans to marry her. She should socialize, and if she finds a suitable boy for herself, she should marry him and get settled. We also told her that until she gets paid, Rishab will help her financially. Rishabh, during sessions, acknowledged that Shefali can be a part of life but is not his priority and will never be. With time, they individually worked on themselves while in the relationship and later decided to get separated.
