Unhappy forceful marriage. My wife doesn't want divorce but still in contact with ex
Asked by Male, 30, Married
I got married about almost a year ago. My wife has trouble accepting me as her husband. She used to live in a big city and i live in a village near a different city. She told me before marriage too that she is not interested in me and loves someone else. so I asked her to speak to her parents about it. Our parents pressurised us for the marriage and so we got married. She speaks ill about me to her friends and says that she is unhappy with me. She is also in touch with her ex. Now our families and relatives have come to know about the condition of our marriage and she says she wants a divorce. But our parents are forcing us to stay together. We also do not have any physical relation. I cannot decide what to do.
