Sir, I got married in Feb 2015 to my partner of 5 years in a live-in relationship which was accepted by both my parents and hers. She stayed with us in our home. She has been divorced once before. This is my first marriage. I am 36 and she is 42. Since August 2016 she has left me and refuses to divulge where or with whom she stays, she cites my drinking as an excuse, which i have not partakena a drop of since one Aug 2016. I am asking her to either give the marriage one more chance or to file a divorce, but she will do neither. The reason for not giving the marriage another chance being that; her capacity to love me has ended therefore there is nothing she can do about it. She gives no reason for not filing a divorce. As a Husband i am extremely disturbed by her callous answers and to her staying away somehwere without divulging her whereabouts. Since August i have been under deep depression and under medication as result i can neither work nor study, i have a non existent social life because she took me to psychologist and has me believing that i am a schizoid. And as a result i cant socialise. Please Help me. What are my options. I still love my wife very dearly and i doont want the marriage to break without atleast trying to save it. But at the same time i am unable to deal with her absconding like this. Please note : i know where she works. but i have not ventured to go to her office because it might embaress her.

Even after mediation, if she refuses to give divorce mutually or refuses to live with you, then you continue with contested divorce petition.
If she doesnt appear even after service of notice, you can assume that she is nkt interested in marriage as well as fighting the divorce case.
