It was an arranged marriage. I never formed a real bond with him, because he was so different from me. I was very sexual and he was closed up. He was inexperienced and never satisfied me like a sexual woman would need. I never had an orgasm in sex, except for occasionally with hand stimulation. Plus there was no friendship or emotional attachment. I never felt the peace you feel with a lover or a husband. He never abused me or anything so I thought I could make it work. Until many years later I got diagnosed severely depressed and suicidal and was even resistant to antidepressants. I was even advised electroconvulsive therapy. When we went to couples therapy he started trying to get better but I had realised that it would never work. He said he loves me and would do anything to stay with me. When the family got involved he told everyone that he didn’t want a divorce and I did. And now the family wants me to compromise on the “differences” and stay with him. I am just ranting and I need some reassurance that I am right to depart and this isn’t how a marriage should be… Am I right ?
