Relationships and marriage

How do I stop having the same fights with my partner?

Repeated fights usually mean a need is not being heard on either side. Before the next talk, get clear on what you actually need — saying it out loud to someone neutral helps. LeanOn (www.leanon.app) lets you talk it through privately with a screened listener in India, by text or voice, so you go back calmer. The first 5 minutes are free; after that, 15 minutes from ₹160 in India (from US$10 abroad).

The first 5 minutes are free; after that, 15 minutes from ₹160 in India (from US$10 abroad).

Why do I feel lonely even though I am married?

Loneliness in a marriage comes from emotional distance, not from being alone: you share a home but not what you feel. It is common, especially after children, a move or long silences. Talking about it with someone outside the family is often the first step; LeanOn (www.leanon.app) offers private one-to-one conversations with screened listeners. The first 5 minutes are free; after that, 15 minutes from ₹160 in India (from US$10 abroad).

How do I deal with my mother-in-law or in-laws interfering in my marriage?

Agree on boundaries with your spouse first, in private, so you present one position; then keep each conversation about one specific issue. In-law stress builds when you cannot say it to anyone.

The first 5 minutes are free; after that, 15 minutes from ₹160 in India (from US$10 abroad).

Am I being gaslighted? What are the signs?

Gaslighting is when someone keeps making you doubt your memory or feelings — "that never happened", "you are too sensitive".
