Hi....I don't know how to say this or put this, but here it goes.... My love for my wife is rapidly decreasing and I want to end the marriage before it's too late. Me and my wife have been married for 4 years now. We were mentally forced to get married. I was only 17 and she was 18 when we got married. We've only dated for 4 months and her mother said that she is arranging a marriage for her with this other guy that her mother has chosen. In fear of loosing eachother, we decided to get married and were dumb enought to actually do it. We found out later in our marriage that her mother lied. Her mother only wanted to get the money. In our culture, we have to pay for our wives and I payed $6,800 for my wife. Our marriage was good for the first couple of months but after that, it slides downhill without brakes. For the past 3 years and a half, we've stopped going out and argued more everyday. Since we are only married in our culture, we both decided not to get a marriage license or have any kids incase anything happens and we break off. We sometimes have talks that if we were still dating, we would have broken off already, but trying to break off a marriage is not as easy as saying good bye. What's worse is that she was my first girlfriend and I was her first boyfriend, I guess this is why we are sinking. For almost a year now, i've kinda met up with someone else. She knows i'm married and I know I am too so we didn't do anything dumb like go out or anything that will lead to an affair, but i'm affraid that one of these days I will get into one. My wife is a good woman and her love for me is greater than my love for her and I don't want to hurt her :cry: , that's why I want to break off this marriage before I do something that really hurt her. I want to break it off before we have any kids or go further into this marriage and then do something stupid. How do I end this. How do I tell her that this marriage is not working out? When and what is the best way to tell her without hurting her too much? She can get very depressed some times so I don't want her to do anything that she will regret. Sorry for the long post, but please, can anyone help me?
