Question

i was forced to marry my cousin abroad a few months ago. i dont want to stay with him or call him over. i am getting very depressed. there are too many people depending on me and want me to sacrifice my hapiness so that they don't look bad in front of other people. what am i going to do? i don't want to break anyones heart but i can't stay with that guy. i feel so trapped. suicide seems like my only option.

should i put my hapiness before theres or put theres before mine?

Answer 1

You're in America, right?  You don't have to be married to anyone if you don't want to.  Suicide, hum, is that more desirable than happiness?  is suicide less embarassing to family than a divorce?  Put your happiness where it bvelongs, at the top of your priorities!!!  Do what makes you happy, your family will come around, and if they don't, they don't deserve to be a part of your life.  Happiness to you, and live LONG and HAPPY.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Put your happiness first, who cares about your family because they obviously don't care about you.  Honestly if it is so bad that you would actually consider suicide than honestly  I think that you know what you have to do!!! JUST DO IT.

Answer 4

Forget your family. Were they thinking of YOUR best intrests when they made you marry your...cousin? No. So why should you care about theirs?

Answer 5

If you live in the US, you just go to  the county court house, fill out the papers and file for divorce. A lawyer is only needed if goods or money need to be divided or if there is a child. It really is that simple. The clerk will tell you how to fill out the papers.

As far as family and friends: are you really going to let them drive you to end your life for their happiness? Stand up for your self. It is really you putting this pressure on yourself. They don't control you. Not in America. The can only control you to the extent you let them. There is help out there.
