Confessions: The unsettling effect of marrying down

I have realised I don’t love him at all (Photo: Shutterstock)

I am 26, a mother of one and have been married for two years now. However, I got married at a time when I caught my former boyfriend cheating on me. I was angry and bitter with him that I ran into the arms of the guy I am with. I now realise I got married for the wrong reasons. I am a university graduate and my husband is a high school leaver. I have realised I don’t love him at all. We have a child together and this is what makes me stay with him. I have been faithful throughout the time we’ve been together as he treats us well but I think I’m being mean to myself and him since he needs to be with someone who loves him. What should I do?
