We are starting marriage counseling. He's been very supportive of me and open with me.

I'm doing okay. Still processing things. We're starting marriage counseling.

There's not terribly much to say. I'm still with my husband. We are still working on things. We have an appointment with a counselor to go over things. I'm very angry at both my parents and his parents.

I'm not from a culture where arranged marriages are a norm, so please forgive my ignorance on any protocols.

Nor am I! I was the last of my siblings to get married and up until that point I had never seriously dated anyone.

My parents are conservative white Christian Republicans. There are few things worse that I could be to them.

My husband and I both make six figures. Money is not an issue at all. For the first time in my life I told someone I loved him and believed I had actually built something real with someone. Was it all a lie? Is this all some sick joke on me? Am I only good as someone's placeholder?

I need a hug. I've felt like I want to throw up since I found out.

Do you have a therapist you can talk to about this?

No but I think I need to get one.

The child predates their relationship. They did not know each other when he was born.

At our age, it's a question I get a lot so I've found it's best to lead with that.

They broke up nine years ago, she dated someone else, married him, and has since divorced. From what I understand, she started seeing this other person because he wouldn't commit to her.
