I Regretted My Marriage From the First Year—Now I’m Planning to Leave

I was never certain that marriage was what I wanted, but my relationship moved quickly. We dated for six months and married two months later. From our first year together, I began to regret ignoring my doubts. Our marriage has been marked by constant conflict, emotional and financial abuse, gaslighting and infidelity. Finding messages between my husband and other women changed how I handle disagreements. I later discovered that he may be expecting a child with another woman. The marriage has changed how I see myself and relate with my family. I am raising a child while trying to cope with the strain at home. I hope to leave when I am financially able to stand on my own again.
