My Parents Are Forcing Me to Marry a Guy I’m Not Attracted To

I’m a 26 years old doctor, currently working in a hospital. During my internship, I was in a relationship with another doctor, a consultant specialist. We had a strong crush on each other, and while we connected deeply, we knew marriage wasn’t possible because we come from different castes and states. We decided to date despite this, thinking we’d simply enjoy the time we had together.

A year into our relationship, we moved in together. Then, one day, I discovered he was still in contact with his ex and another woman who had expressed interest in him. He hadn’t been physically involved with them after we started dating, but he continued to message them. This broke my heart. I had been rejecting all marriage proposals from my parents because I was so in love with him. When I told him this, he replied, “I never asked you to reject proposals for me. If you want, you can go ahead and get married.” His response left me feeling sad, confused, heartbroken, and scared.

That’s when I realized he wouldn’t be there to support me if anything went wrong. So, I decided to let my parents take charge of finding me a partner. They introduced me to a man, we talked, and I felt okay, but I didn’t feel any real connection. I initially said no, but my parents really wanted this match and kept convincing me. Eventually, I said yes.

The man is good, understanding, humble, and grounded. We’ve talked and met a few times. Initially, I felt okay, but soon I realized I wasn’t attracted to him. I told myself that looks aren’t everything and that I could get to know him better. One day, he asked me to spend a night with him. I didn’t want to, so I said no. He then said that if we didn’t spend the night together, he’d lose interest. Reluctantly, I stayed. He told me he had planned a special dinner, but since I was late, it didn’t happen. He then tried to be intimate, but I refused.

Since then, I’ve slowly started losing interest. Now, my parents have fixed the wedding date, but I still don’t feel anything for him. He’s a good person, but I’m not attracted to him physically or by his personality. I don’t know what to do.
