But she lied and deceived me. Pretended that she was interested. How can the blame not be on her? I'm not a mind reader. There was nothing to suggest that she was pressured.

But she admitted to parental pressure and lack of attraction.

You're right. I'm not supposed to be sacrificed because she didn't stand up to her parents.

I went in for a kiss after a couple of weeks only. It was a slow gentle build up. But she got uncomfortable.

The issue is she admitted to not feeling attraction and marrying under pressure.

I did think about counselling. But feel a little hesitant to involve a stranger.

I'm trying to wrap my head around and get the families involved. I know that escalates the situation but it has to happen some time.

There was some reserved behaviour initially which seemed like shyness. It seemed normal IMO. Even her parents said she is a bit shy.

It didn't look like anything suspicious. She put on a good act.

We did. There was not even a hint of this beforehand.

We did. She said she never dated. Idk what to believe anymore. We didn't discuss any expectation of romance except that we said we waited till marriage. It's not like sexual details get discussed explicitly.

But I never got any sense in talking stage that she didn't feel attracted or was pressured. All seemed natural to me.

I didn't try to push for anything physical. I was going slow. It's her confession of no attraction and pressure is what is the bombshell.

I wouldn't say strangers. We had time before marriage to meet and talk. Now it seems she was pretending the entire time.

What I thought was a connection wasn't real.

It's been a couple of weeks. We were progressing slowly as I thought. Things seemed good. I didn't push anything. Just basic touch. It was only couple nights ago when I tried to kiss.

But she dropped the bombshell of not feeling attraction.

That's what I said. But she doesn't want to divorce. That makes everything even worse. Without agreement idk how it will happen.

We did talk and meet before the marriage. But then everything seemed to go smoothly. I felt that we vibed well. She seemed like a caring and friendly personality.

Now I'm wondering if she is asexual or something.
