Has anyone been forced in marrying someone - when you really loved another?

Answer 1

Depends on what you mean by "forced". If you mean so religiously oppressed with sense of "duty" and "obligation"; by being so pressured by church and family to get married; to feel you have no real choice... Then yes. At 18 I married someone I didn't love, in place of someone I did.
18 bitter years later, after losing church, friends and family anyway I got divorced. Marrying out of "duty" was the greatest regret I've ever had in life. 18 years of emptyness, disappointment and pain.

Answer 2

NO, you cannot be FORCED into marrying someone, I knwo when God brings 2 people together he matched them up, to compliment each other and to be a team, God would not FORCE someone into marrying them as God gave people free will, even if he brought the 2 of them together. As for parents, most parents love their offspring and want them to be happy, and when they bring someone into your life, they see the comfoprts they can give you as they dont want you to struggle-like they did, or want you to be in need,however, ask yourself this - can you get nto bed with someone and have and that sex, and live with them if you didnt care for them and loved another??? I have a friend and she moved in with a guy, becasue he was kind to her and loved her, he was better off than she was, and he treated her the way she wanted to be treated, and after a couple of months, she couldnt have him come near her as it made her ill, just the thought of him touching her - let alone him doing it, she hated him touching her very quickly, theyve split up-understandibly, he still loves her, and they talk on frindly terms, but if he tries to touch her she recoils. So before you marry someone you dont love, or have any real feelings for -remember what ive told you, and remeber the person that you do love, once upon a time I loved my x and would have married him, then I met someone else, so I wouldnt marry him now - I deserve better, good luck

Answer 3

I wasn't forced to marry my now soon to be ex... but i loved my true love then and for 4 years before that and so when I started dating the husband it was rebound and so I knew he would take care of me.. well 7 years after that and I met back up with the true love and well 2.5 years later, my true love and I are going to marry.... isn't that wonderful!

Answer 4

Is it tradition in your family or something? I don't think many people do that anymore. Some cultures do though.

But if your literally being forced into marriage then I agree with the other people, at the altar say I don't. If your being abused then you have to do something about this. I mean really do you want to be with a guy that you DON'T want to spend the rest of your life with?

Answer 5

Nobody can force another person to say "I do" When the preacher asks, you can say "No, I dont"- thats your prerogative. Dont throw your life away on some spotty nerd your parents have chosen as "suitable". Say NO even if it means leaving home; YOU are responsible for your own happiness, not them- they dont have to live with their choice, be mauled in bed by some loathsome creep you cant stand, or be servile to a bully ; neither are you. DONT DO IT>
