I’m 22 years old, and he is 23. We’ve been married for one year. During this year, I feel like I’ve literally become a mom to him.
I make money while he stays at home playing games. I’ve suggested some projects for him to do, but he didn’t want to give them a try.
I cook meals for him daily and also do the laundry.
I feel like I’m losing myself more and more. Taking care of all the little things has made me completely numb to the world.
I love him, but I don’t think this is a healthy way to continue. He needs to become independent, and I need to find myself again, so I’ve decided to get a divorce.
But when I talked openly about this with him, he said that nobody would want me anymore because I’m now a “low-value” person. He told me that no man would treasure a woman who has already been married.
I want a partner in my life, but I’m afraid of being alone. I don’t know if what he said is true or not. I’m quite scared that when I meet someone new and tell him I’ve been married, it will turn him off.
Do you have any advice for me?
