KC Asked:

“My story is that i have had this arranged marriage, which i never liked, and i was forced into, my wife and her parents also lied everything. I choose to sacrifice, even if she was not good looking because she was a doctor, anyway that is all past. I still tried to be nice, and it has been 7 years in our marriage, we argue all the time, verbal arguments, may be we had sex three to four times in this seven years, and in that three to four times only, we also have a kid. She doesnt like me, i dont like her, i want to move on, but i was patient all these years, because my kid will be impacted because she wont have one parent. I am originally from India, day in and day out i cry to myself, how did i end up like this? Why did not i make a correct choice of choosing the right girl.
I am ashamed of my situation, and i sincerely wish no one in this world should face the situation i am in. I tell her to go, enough is enough, because she also doesnt like me and i hate her, she says she is going, but she doesnt. Now i am ready to divorce her, i cant take it anymoe. But my sister and brother from India and my friends tell that if i do that my daughter’s life will be spoiled, because people wont respect her, she cannot be brought up nicely because her parents are divorced.

Any ideas will surely help me. Thanks so much for your help.”

Michelle Asked:

“Story? Well you all will kind of laugh thinking ‘does this still happen in this day and age?’ but it does. I’m in an ‘arranged marriage’ setup…and I’m ‘engaged’ to a very quiet, shy guy. He seems friendly though, and there’s a history of him being wounded before in the romantic department…he was rejected prior to me coming in his life. So sometimes I feel, he doesn’t open up because he’s protecting himself from being hurt…and I try to make it seem like I’m normal, and vulnerable and in the same situation. but its so hard to decipher him! now I’m thinking…what if I’m a complete idiot! and he ends up hating my personality!…argh..what have I gotten myself into…how do I decipherrrrrr that he likes me?!?!?”
