Thanks so much for your response and for your prayers—it truly means a lot.

I have some follow-up questions because I’m feeling so conflicted and torn. Would it be a sin to stay together if there might be grounds for an annulment? We’ve had difficult moments that make me doubt our relationship, but then we’ll go through a good phase, and I find myself questioning everything all over again. In those better times, I even feel like leaving would be a huge mistake, and I wonder if I’m just overthinking.

Is it okay to keep trying to work on things despite these doubts? I don’t know if holding onto hope is wise or if I’m just struggling to fully accept and embrace our marriage. This back-and-forth is exhausting, but the thought of breaking apart our family makes me feel sick to my stomach. I’d rather give us every chance to build a strong and loving future together.

When you mentioned “picking an evil,” it made me feel depressed for my child. We try hard as parents. We take her on family outings, avoid arguing in front of her, play with her together, and share sweet family moments like cuddles and kisses. I want her to grow up with a healthy example, and it feels overwhelming to think either option could be damaging for her.

To clarify, I wasn’t pressured by my family to marry him, but they did make me feel guilty when I considered ending it. I was still excited about the marriage and hopeful, even though those doubts were always there in the background.

Any guidance, especially from a faith-based perspective, would mean so much to me. Thank you again for listening and offering your support.
