Asking for friend
I am currently in a difficult situation where I am married to someone I do not have feelings for and was forced into the marriage by my parents. I have a boyfriend now, and I don't want to continue living with my husband. I am unsure of how to proceed and handle this situation, while trying to balance my own happiness and the well-being of those around me. I am looking for suggestions and advice on how to navigate this situation and what steps I can take to make the best decision for myself and those involved.

Hi,
It is a very challenging situation that you are facing, and it is important to prioritize your own happiness while also considering the well-being of those around you. It may be helpful to have open and honest conversations with your husband and communicate your feelings with him. Seeking couples therapy or counseling could also be beneficial in navigating this difficult situation and finding a resolution that works for both of you.
In terms of your boyfriend, it is important to be honest with him about your current situation and discuss how you both see the future of your relationship. Consider taking some time for yourself to reflect on what you truly want and need in a relationship, and make decisions that align with your values and goals.
Ultimately, it is important to take the time to consider all perspectives and make a decision that feels right for you. Remember to prioritize self-care and seek support from friends, family, or a therapist during this challenging time. Whatever decision you make, be sure to approach it with compassion and understanding for yourself and those involved.

General advice over chat might not be enough to fully address your concerns, given the depth and personal nature of what you're experiencing. I strongly recommend starting therapy to work through your concerns. Therapy can help you gain clarity on what you truly want and how to achieve it while considering the well-being of everyone involved.
Navigating such a situation requires careful thought and, often, professional guidance. You deserve to live a life that aligns with your true feelings and aspirations. Taking the step to seek therapy can be a significant move toward finding a resolution that honors your happiness and the well-being of those around you. If you're looking for accessible options, Mind Sculpt offers affordable online sessions that could be a good fit for you.

Hi! I can understand how overwhelming and confusing your current situation must feel. I would strongly advise working with a psychologist to get clarity around how to best navigate this situation as it’s very sensitive and might upset some people. Working with a psychologist can also help you to learn tools that facilitate taking care of yourself, and building self esteem which can result in happiness.
Understanding more about your background can help figure out effective and customized solutions to help you in this situation.
