Kissey

In this eye-opening episode of the Kissey Podcast, we dive into a heart-wrenching yet enlightening story of Raju Kadam, a young man who discovered the harsh truth about his relationship—he was being "benched" by his girlfriend. Benching, a modern dating term, refers to the cruel practice where one person keeps another on standby, giving them just enough attention to stay interested, while actively pursuing other options.

Raju Kadam's story is a poignant reminder of how easily one can become an "optional" partner in a relationship. He was deeply invested in his relationship, unaware that his girlfriend was leading a double life. When he finally caught her red-handed, Raju had to confront the painful reality that he was never a priority, just a backup plan.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Benching: What it is, how to recognize it, and why it’s a toxic behavior in modern dating.
• Red Flags: The subtle and obvious signs Raju ignored that could have clued him in earlier.
• Setting Boundaries: Dishank Timble, the host of Kissey Podcast, provides practical advice on how to set healthy boundaries in relationships to avoid being benched or taken for granted.
• Self-Worth: How Raju rediscovered his self-worth and took control of his life after the betrayal.
• Emotional Healing: Tips on how to recover from such an emotionally taxing experience and move forward with self-respect.

Dishank also discusses the importance of recognizing your own value and not settling for someone who sees you as an option. This episode serves as a wake-up call to anyone who feels they might be in a similar situation—where they’re being strung along without being truly valued.
