My husband told me today that he got married because he felt it was the "right" thing to do, and that if he didn't feel obligated to do so, he probably wouldn't have gotten married. We both come from a religious background where premarital sex and living together is considered sinful. However - within that, there are plenty of happy marriages and people who got married because of LOVE. My husband said he wanted to be with me, but that since our marriage he feels a lot of obligation to do the things that make a marriage work, but it's not neccessarily coming from the heart. I don't beleive in fairy tales, but I am devastated by this. I feel unloved and like a chore. I was young when I got married, I feel that I made a mistake of marrying a man that doesn't truly love me. Should I call it quits now? He says he wants to work on it, but I feel that if you started without love, how can you make it appear? It's been 4 years of insecurity and some happy moments. I feel like it's all a lie.
