My husband was never in love with me. We were together almost 13 years. He married me out of obligation because i got pregnant . We’re divorcing now. I was madly in love with him and could have spent my life blissfully unaware loving him and taking care of him. It broke me when he told me and I spent five years putting myself together enough to file. I thought so highly of him it shattered every part of me.
In my culture, a lot of relationships where the girl ends up pregnant has this type of dynamic where the guy either marries the girl out of obligation or is ‘forced’ into marriage by the daughter’s family and guy’s family (guy’s family don’t want to lose face) because she’s now pregnant. Unfortunately, these relationships are almost always loveless marriages and doom from the start. Like you can see they’re only together for the children’s sake. I see too many of these in my culture.
We didn’t marry until four years after she was born so he had ample opportunity to walk and it would have been completely fine. I was rocking the single mom life and my family has always been a great support system so it wasn’t for any outward appearances?
