Dear Coleen
I got married six months ago and I bitterly regret it and want out. We’d been dating for a few years, but Covid happened in the middle of it and we’d never lived together previously.
I’m starting to feel trapped and unhappy because, while he’s a nice, charming guy, and is always taking me out and buying me things, I feel more of a possession than his wife and his equal. I’ve realised he’s very controlling – about the house, about what we do, even down to what I wear and who I socialise with.
