Caught Between a Broken Marriage and Unfulfilled Love

I am 25 years old. After my 10th grade, I madly fell in love with a guy. We talked for a month, and I became deeply attached to him. However, due to his family issues, he was forced to marry his cousin. My heart was broken. I stopped eating, cried endlessly, and even got into other relationships to forget him, but nothing worked.

After five years, I got married. I thought my husband would take good care of me, but that was not the case. He is a psychopath. He doesn’t even let me come close to him, doesn’t talk to me, doesn’t spend time with me, and always picks fights over every little thing. I thought of getting a divorce, but we have two children, and I can’t leave them. I am not financially independent, and there hasn’t been a single day without tears. I have never received love in my life, but at least I hoped for peace, and even that is missing. It has already been five years.

Before my marriage, my brother-in-law loved me. He told me that he didn’t know how to talk to girls, and by the time he decided to propose, I was already married. He confessed that he still loves me. I always treated him as a friend. After my marriage, out of anger, he accepted his cousin’s love and agreed to marry her. By then, they had been in a relationship for almost four years.

After a few months, he found out that she had cheated on him. He couldn’t handle the pain and started sharing his feelings with me. During that time, we became close, and I developed feelings for him. Our thoughts, emotions, and everything started aligning.

I am married, but I can’t deny my love for him. I love him so much that I can’t live without him. He came into my dark life as a ray of hope. But now, he has no choice but to marry his cousin. Her father is no more, and even though she cheated, he feels obligated to keep his word and marry her.

Their wedding is in a few days, but I feel like I am losing my life. I can’t see them together. I want to leave him, but I can’t. He can’t live without me either. However, because of my first love failure, I struggle to trust love. I don’t know if he truly loves me or not.

I don’t know what to do. I can’t live with my husband, I can’t be with the one I love, and I can’t let him go either. My parents, who have seen my suffering for five years, keep telling me to “adjust.” I am stuck.

Question: Can I leave my brother-in-law?

Option 1: Can I stay with my brother-in-law?

Option 2: Can I divorce and take care of my kids?

  1. only choice u have is to leave ur husband.but only if ur able to take care of ur kids.
    u can’t make ur brother in law marry u without his will.
    it is jus decision to leave that girl instead of her cheating.
    he wants to stand on his word and marry her. and u can stop that.
    discuss it properly once and if he says no stay away from him.
    try to adjust with ur hus or if u can take care of ur kids then get seperated
