Ingenuity Is the Key

Ankita had been going around with Gaurav for quite some time before they found the time to get married. They made a brilliant couple. They were both attractive, smart and had a terrific sense of humour. It was a dream relationship. They were also very honest with each other and this caused a small problem. Gaurav made no secret about the fact that he liked to ‘look at’ other women. Frequently, while the two of them were together, his head would swivel around and he would let out a low appreciative whistle when he saw someone really good-looking pass by. For a long time, Ankita didn’t mind this much. She knew in his heart Gaurav only wanted her. She was also very grateful that he didn’t hide this from her and do it behind her back. But over time, she started having self-doubts. When she talked about this to Gaurav, he couldn’t understand why this ‘harmless’ habit of his had suddenly become such a big issue…

Ankita came to me and told me all about it. He was not going to change, this was clear. She was getting more and more distressed, this was also clear. I gave her a super simple solution. Every time he did it, she should follow his gaze and start to admire the outfit or the jewellery the other woman was wearing. Then, she was to start pleading with him for a dress or jewellery just like it. That other woman was looking so nice in it. She would too.

She got him to spend quite a lot of money this way until he realized that his ‘harmless’ pass time was becoming quite expensive. Ankita really enjoyed herself for a few weeks. Gaurav doesn’t look at any woman, however beautiful, any more. He cannot afford it.

Sometimes what can seem to be a huge problem can be easily resolved, with a little bit of skill, patience, ingenious thinking and humour.
