        We had a love marriage in 2018 but we don’t have a happy married life. We moved to delhi 2 years ago and from then we are staying like flat mates in separate bed rooms. She chats with other people (i don’t have proofs, but I saw the chats in her phone) from bumble and other old friends. Even I want to get done with this marriage, as I read online that wife having affairs could lead to serious issues for husband. I think she will agree for a mutual divorce, but I want to be ready in case she isn’t. We have an apartment and a house loan in both of our names.

        Looking for advice on how to broach the topic with her, how to start the proceedings and how to stay till divorce is finalized

          It is good that you are considering all possibilities before moving forward. Since you think she may agree to a mutual divorce, the best approach is to have an open but careful conversation. Start the conversation calmly and privately. Avoid accusations or emotional arguments; frame it as a mutual decision for both of your well-being. Be prepared for different reactions. Even if she seems uninterested in the marriage, she might resist divorce due to emotional, financial, or social reasons. Since you have a jointly owned apartment and house loan, financial settlement discussions should be handled carefully to avoid future disputes.

          If mutual divorce is agreed upon, you both can file a petition. If she refuses mutual divorce, you may have to explore grounds like mental cruelty or irretrievable breakdown of marriage, but this can take longer.
