I need some guidance regarding my situation.

My husband and I have been married for around 2 years, and we have been properly separated for the last 4 months. We are both considering ending the marriage mutually and want to do it in the smoothest and least complicated way possible.

The issue is that we do not have a marriage certificate.

I wanted to ask:

If both parties agree, is it possible to end the marriage mutually outside court, something like an annulment / mutual settlement, without formally filing for divorce in court?

Since we don’t have a marriage certificate, does that change the process?

Or is court filing still mandatory for a proper legal divorce, even if both people agree?

We don’t have children, and we’re mainly trying to understand the legal requirement in India before taking the next step.

Would really appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through this or has legal knowledge.

I am an Aquarius woman and recently ended things with a Capricorn man I was seeing. It was only two weeks, but it got intense fast. He pursued heavily from the start — daily calls, seeing each other often, regular check-ins, physical affection, and overall creating a very relationship-like dynamic very quickly.

Even while he was traveling, he would still check in on me regularly, which made it feel like he was genuinely invested.

He even subtly brought up “what are we” at one point, and more than once mentioned that he wants me to move in with him, which felt like a lot considering how early it all was.

I liked him too, but I told him I take time and need to really get to know someone before fully getting serious.

What turned me off was that I started noticing signs that he may have still been keeping options open / not fully emotionally secure. Some boundaries with female friends felt blurry, and around the time he sensed I wasn’t fully locked in yet, he became a little reactive and his energy shifted in a way that made me feel like he wanted to regain control or keep one foot out. It started feeling like he liked me, but also wanted backup options or external validation.

So I ended it instead of dragging it out.

What confuses me is that he seemed genuinely very into me while things were good, even said things that made me feel like I was “rare” to him, but once I pulled away, he didn’t really try to understand what went wrong or repair it. It just felt like he withdrew and possibly distracted himself quickly.

So I’m curious:

Do Capricorn men suppress the urge to reach out because of pride/ego?

If they were genuinely affected but felt rejected, do they process it later?

If they distract themselves quickly after, does that usually mean they never cared, or can they still feel it and come back later?

I’m not necessarily asking because I want him back — I think I’m more trying to understand whether it was real for him or just fast intensity in the moment.

Would appreciate honest insight.
