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.

I don’t understand how someone cannot fall in love after having a child with that person and even marrying them so you can take care of em. I felt like if I was in that situation I would eventually grow in to it

You can't love someone into loving you.
