I’m Kavya, a 29-year-old Indian wife. From the outside, my life looks perfect—five years of marriage, a stable household, and a loving husband, Rajat. But beneath this facade, there lies a gnawing emptiness that I’ve ignored for far too long.

Rajat is everything a woman could ask for—kind, loving, and gentle. But in the past few months, the spark in our relationship has faded. Gone are the days of fiery passion and uncontrollable desire. Now, physical intimacy has reduced to a mere formality—once or twice a month, at most.
