There is so much work pressure when you’re living in a city like Mumbai. Despite being in a live-in relationship, my girl friend and I had no time for each other. She is often on a month shoots, while I too work long hours.
Eventually, she chooses to have relationship with someone she works with. It was more convenient and frankly, I understand where she is coming from, because I wasn’t giving her the attention she wanted.
After it ended, I tried to get over here by indulging in one casual relationship after another. After finding casual sex in this city is easy-there are enough lonely people, without family and friend, looking for it.
I once slept with a woman who had a crazy work schedule that required her to travel a lot. She admitted that she didn’t have the time to invest in a real relationship.
While living in Mumbai allows you the space and anonymity for sexual freedom, the flip side is that there is a constant fear of your partner cheating on you. The secure, long term, wholesome relationship is what is suffering the most.
My girl friend and I are back together now, but nothing has changed. She is currently working on the 60 day film schedule and is asleep by the time I get home. And my work is so hectic that I don’t even have the time to think of someone else. It is almost easier to stay in this state.
