Man Leaves Home, Job, Family for Old Age Home Due to Marital Strife, Depression

• Umesh Singh, 57, a clerk from Rohtak, left his home, job, wife, and three children to live in Tau Devi Lal Old Age Home in Faridabad.
• He worked continuously from 1990 to 2025 but depression prevented him from going to office; he neither resigned nor took leave.
• Umesh cited constant fights with his wife since their marriage in 1992 and daily arguments as the main reason for his departure.
• His wife and children tried to prevent him from leaving by locking the door, but he still managed to go.
• Despite earning 45,000, educating his children, and building a house, Umesh found peace only in the old age home, away from domestic strife.

Why It Matters: A man chose an old age home over his family and job, seeking peace from relentless domestic conflict and depression.
