I got married young to escape ill treatment from my dad and step mum and I really don’t love my husband.
I just decided to do the ‘right thing’ instead of running away, plus I didn’t want to be a bad role model for my younger siblings or do a disservice to my late mother.
I was in love with another man who was still in college. But because he wasn’t working my parents wouldn’t entertain the idea of us dating, so I broke up with him to make my family happy.
I feel I’ve sacrificed a lot to make my marriage work. I feel I’ve put my best into it, but my husband is domineering and our intimacy life is horrible.
I’ve tried talking to him in an effort to improve his thinking, but nothing changes.
I didn’t contact my ex for the first 11 years of my marriage, even though I still loved him and missed him.
But a month ago we got in touch via social media. He is also married, but we both still feel so strongly for each other.
What should I do? I’m so fed up with my marriage. I’ve tried so hard to make it work, but my husband is just fine with me doing everything to please him without thinking about what would make me happy.
