Hi everyone - I wanted to share my story with you and see if anyone could posisbly contribute with some insight/advise... SO here it goes...
I got married at the tender age of 18 to my one and only boyfriend. I was very much in love at the time and thought I could never possibly love anyone else. A lot of pressure was on me the moment I learned that my entire family was moving away from the US! So in love and naïve, my boyfriend and I decided to marry so that we could stay together and be happy ever after la la la...
Fast-forward 3 years later, we have undoubtedly changed rather susbtantially. He has changed for the better, not only is he more mature but also works very hard so that I don't have to and I can focus on my education. We purchased our first home and feel very proud of that because we are still very young. However, there is not a day when I wonde rin my mind if I made the right choice. I do love him very much and we do share an extensive amount of memories nad good times, but I Just don't think I feel the same anymore. I know he is madly in love with me but I don't want to continue a relationship if I know I am not happy. Besides, I think he deserves better than someone who fakes love. Our interests have changed over the years, we do not share any friendships or have much in common... I met someone else who happens to be 13 years my senior and I like a lot. We have a lot in common and I am dying to get together and give that a shot... I am very happy when I talk to this person and I look forward to hearing from him everyday, it truly makes my day.
What do I do?
