Trapped in My Two-Year Marriage: Battling Marital Exhaustion

I’m writing anonymously to lift this heavy weight from my chest. I regret rushing into marriage, but I don’t know who to confide in. There’s no abuse or cheating—just a deep disconnection and exhaustion. We met, dated for nine months, and tied the knot by age 30 under pressure and excitement. I settled for a small civil ceremony when I’d always dreamed of a big celebration. He was fine with that, and our reception never happened. Every reminder of that broken promise hurts. I thought marriage would complete me, but instead I feel drained and lost. I’ve even googled divorce reasons endlessly today. Has anyone else felt this way or found a way through it?
