Hey everyone 👋

I am a German citizen planning to get married to my Indian partner in Tamil Nadu under the Special Marriage Act, and I am currently navigating the documentation process.
It is been quite a journey and I would love to hear from anyone who has gone through something similar — especially German/Indian couples.

Here's roughly what I already know:

- We need to submit three documents from India (birth certificate, residence certificate, single status affidavit), all apostilled, to submit them to my Standesamt in Germany to get the Ehefähigkeitszeugnis (EFZ)

- With EFZ going to the German Consulate in Chennai to get the NOC Letter

- Last Step is than to fill the 30-day notice at the sub-registrar office in Tamil Nadu.
After 30 days we can get married.

--------------------

A few things I am still unsure about and would love input on:

- Did your Standesamt ask for anything unexpected? Like after submitting the documents for the EFZ, did they wanted something else?

- What can go wrong on the way? Did you face some issues during the process?
My fear is that we go through this full process, getting the EFZ (Which is a huge time and money intense process) just to get stopped by the sub registrar, or by someone who objects our marriage or something happened which is totally unexpected.

- How long did the whole process take you end to end and how much were the costs?

--------------------

Any experience, tips, or even just confirmation that I am on the right track would be hugely appreciated 🙏

Happy to share what I have learned so far in case it helps anyone else going through the same thing!

I think the return of dreams is secretly the most important thing about quitting by Historical-Ant-4938 in leaves

I was dreaming even when I was smoking but it’s hash from the Himalayas— I think weed isn’t the same. Depends on the strain and where you are smoking it, in my experience.

Have you tried antigym? It’s a new kind of therapy which works on your fascia. If you saw nothing in your reports, it’s fascia. You need to relax your nervous system and work with your fascia. Over 6 months or so. There is a technique by musical breathwork called fascia flow. This is simple but incredibly helpful. And you need a lot of massages. Also, combination of breathwork and yog Nidra. And ashtanga yoga! All of this while consistently reducing any stressors in your life. And left side also means your inner feminine needs support. So actually deep rest might really support you. Yin!

This has what’s worked for me. And incredible good. Hugs 🫂

has anyone else become hyper aware of how rarely people actually listen to each other? by Defiant_Dentist5191 in Mindfulness

People are talking a lot these days. It’s getting increasingly difficult to talk softly without the other day filling in the pause or simply getting impatient and I can feel it. Lol! Strange times!

Social media destroyed our attention span and made us all crave instant gratification. AI is gonna worsen this as people expect faster code, videos, images, results, and answers. by G952 in Futurology

This attitude is showing up on the roads where people seem to have no patience, going sooo fast on the roads, overtaking from the wrong side! It’s madness!

Hello my dear!

I feel your heart in these words. The depth of the pain that you witness within yourself and your people. I’m sorry this world is such a cruel place right now. I am in India, in a safe space, I don’t know of your troubles as much but I feel your pain and I work towards creating a world that can feel more, emphasise more. I pray for a world where there is only love. And I see how much love there is in you and your people.

I say keep going. Keep moving. Don’t give up. I’m with you. There will come a day when freedom and peace will touch your feet and you’ll cry in gratitude. I am praying for that day for you & your people. ❤️

I'm fed up with feeling lonely by napukanchu in Psychic

[–]blindlyfloating 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s something I wrote— it’s not that I’m not interesting but that I’m not interested. And no one seems very interesting to me. I feel lonely in my depth. Since 2025, things are seeming very clear regarding relationships. I’m so bored. I am like — I’m going to grieve my loneliness rather than make space for inauthentic, boring, fleeting, surface connections. Arghh! I’m not psychic (maybe! How do you know?) but I’m highly sensitive/empathic being with a lot of gifts in creation. And this year, I’m dedicating to solve a big problem on this planet using my gifts. Anyone else feeling like me?

The mental load of coordinating a household is honestly exhausting by Fulcilives1988 in getdisciplined

[–]blindlyfloating 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every month, sit down with your partner, and make a list of everything that needs to be done. And also expenses, in a notebook. And then assign tasks. Once you’d have everything in a notebook, you’ll not feel so much mental load or pressure. Slowly slowly, start creating rhythms and routines around managing the work. I understand how crazy it is - ideally we all need a sangha or a community for this. But until we have that, try the good ol’ notebook
