Escaping a Toxic Mom Only to Face a Loveless Marriage: Need Your Advice!

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice and support right now. My name is Mia, and I recently escaped a really toxic relationship with my mom. It was a tough decision, but I knew I had to get out for my own sanity and well-being. I thought things would get better once I left, but life had other plans for me.

Shortly after leaving, I found myself in a marriage of convenience with Zachary. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time – we both had our reasons, and it felt like a mutually beneficial arrangement. But now, I’m struggling to cope with the reality of being in a loveless marriage. Zachary is a good guy, but there’s no real connection or affection between us. It’s like we’re just roommates sharing a life together.

I’m feeling so lost and unsure of what to do next. Should I try to make this marriage work, even if it means sacrificing my own happiness? Or should I consider ending it and risk facing the unknown once again? I don’t want to hurt Zachary, but I also don’t want to live a life that feels empty and unfulfilling.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
