I have a good husband and also a good life and he's supportive and always put me first of. But, I'm not satisfied in my life.. is it normal? :(
I said this to my friend, and she said I'm crazy, because everything is good with my life.

How long have you been married? How old are you and what are you not satisfied with?

It's been 4 months. My marriage was my family's choice. I didn't have any other option.. I was kind of threatened into it, so I agreed to marry him. He treats me really well, but nothing satisfies me.

Yeah. You've answered your own question.

Being forced into a marriage, being threatened and having no other option is kind of unsatisfying.....

But why would you even think you should be ‘satisfied’ when you were coerced into an arranged marriage?

My friend told me that I'm crazy and I have to forget the past, because now is matters, and she said, for you everything is well now and it's unnormal

Idk, because it seems literally everything is in peace except me.

Well, she doesn’t sound like much of a friend, bluntly. If you can say roughly where you are, people might be able to pinpoint local sources of help at freeing yourself from this.

Yeah I think you're right.
Thanks for trying to help me, it helped me to stop overthinking.
but.. I think my situation is too complicated..
So I'd fix it myself.

But so what? You are your own priority. If you’re not happy, it doesn’t matter if everyone else is thrilled.
