Emotional distress

I'm struggling deeply with unmet emotional needs in my marriage. I agreed to this arranged marriage, despite our financial disparity, because I believed in his affection and didn't want to hurt him. Now, with a child, I feel emotionally unsupported. He doesn't offer comfort during my low moments and insists on me living with his family, which I find increasingly intrusive. I feel stuck and misunderstood. He labels my emotions as difficult, while I experience him as emotionally unavailable, more like a parental figure than a partner. This is causing me immense distress, and I'm grappling with the urge to end it all.

Ending is easy, but surviving in the society is way more difficult, take one or two therapy sessions with him, and let it all, it may not change right away, but trust me, it will change, I’ve been there, done that, I’m a living proof to you. So, good luck, you’ll be alright, remember Covid and recent pahalgam terror attack, people who wanted to live died for no reason. If you wanted to end, you wouldn’t have come to this forum, it means you are trying to patch things up, take care. If you need more suggestions - email me at smartboyblr1984@gmail.com

Always remember this it's easy to destroy/end things but building/maintaining it is difficult. Sit him down and explain him clearly what you're feeling and what you want from him. Tell him it's getting difficult for you without his support, if he doesn't listen or change then bring it up one more by being even more serious if still doesn't work then talk it out with your parents then take a decision.
