Welcome to the era of Solomon – This is an ongoing trend, with newly married lovebirds carrying honeymoons… alone. Imagine: You are drinking orange juice on the beach, giving off a breeze of the ocean, posting pictures with the tag #Honey-Moonvibes. Only – Your partner is not in the frame.
Not because they are taking pictures, but because they don’t exist at all.
Yes, you read it correctly. This is not a breakup. This is not “conscious uncoupling”. Common thread? free. reflection. And celebrations of love do not need to be attached to the buttocks. It’s a conscious couple vacation with only 50% attendance.
Bangalore-based graphic designer Tanya Mehra said she wanted to visit Iceland after the wedding. “But my husband had a product launch. So I just went. Alone. His blessings and the Netflix password we shared.” In the hustle and bustle of culture, working is not just because you said
“I do,” coordination of the fals may be harder. “I did a dive in the Maldives when Gurugram reached an agreement. Romantic? No, Libera-ting, absolutely.” Tanya added.
All work and no play
Burnout after marriage is real: According to the Indian Psychiatric Association, almost 30% of couples report feeling overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted immediately after the wedding celebration. “There is nothing wrong with traveling alone and strengthening relationships,” said relationship coach Shreya Tripathi.
It’s not surprising, it’s work. reason? Solo month offers personal shelter with the opportunity to recover yourself in months of dining. It is an opportunity to breathe, rest, reflect and step into a married life, not full but full. Unlike the solo trip you took before your marriage (the classic “find yourself” backpacking trip), Solomon has a different flavor. It’s not about questioning the relationship, it’s about raising oneself in it. Remind you that even if you start your life as “we”, you don’t have to lose “me”.
Marriage counselor Akansha Verma said if you go without a husband, people think that women don’t care about her marriage or that men don’t like the woman. “But times have changed! The Mordens believe more in personality, and that’s what makes them unique.”
New “us” time
Although traditionalists may grab the pearl, modern couples are rewriting post-wedding scripts. The Solo Ross is not a sign of a rift in a relationship. If anything, they are a proof of trust, independence and mutual understanding that love does not always have to bring a common boarding pass.
Karthik Srinivasan laughed and said, “We are working hard every day.” She said she was more excited to see me trying sushi alone than I dragged her to another tourist attraction. ”
Couples today do not understand co-dependence very much, but coexist with clarity. As Karthik said, “Getting married doesn’t mean we stop soloing. It just means we’re back and telling each other.”
There are no mistakes or correct solo moons, some prefer paragliding in Bir, skydiving on Dubai’s skyline, hiking through forests or just silent Ayurveda spa in Kerala. It can go two ways – a structured vacation where you get lost in an unknown city, taste food you can’t pronounce, make friends in places you can’t find on the map, and most importantly – offline.
Healthy travel goals
Solo travel has some therapeutic properties – especially after exhausted, glittering chaos, it’s a fat Indian wedding. Honestly, it’s hard to hold a wedding. When the final DHOL beats Fade, and the last guest stumbles awkwardly with the remaining Mithai, many newlyweds don’t feel like celebrating, but more like collapse. At that moment, the idea of decompressing alone sounded less selfish and more like self-care.
“I need time to decompress,” Priya Deshpande shared. “There are 600 guests and four costume changes every day, and I forgot what my voice sounds like. A few days ago, my own “Ganish Diary” was a real honeymoon.”
“We” factor
Of course, not all are fans. The aunt at the family gathering will frown. Instagram followers will ask embarrassing questions. Honestly, when you’re stuck on a table, it might scroll through someone else’s solo moon story.
The truth is that independence and intimacy are not opposites. They are partners in a long marriage game, and there are some seasons in a relationship, if you just want to feel yourself again – that’s nothing wrong. “We are planning a proper holiday together for our first anniversary,” Tanya said. “That would be our ‘We-moon’.”
Most couples are worried that once their partner comes back from the month of Solo, they may not want you to do things together. This is not the case, and a special aspect of traveling alone is that when you come back, you bring new energy. Suddenly the conversation with your partner becomes more lively and has a new perspective. There is also a quiet pride – knowing that your bond is not built on constant intimacy, but on deeper trust, respect and understanding.
