    It's kinda weird, I know at first that this will not work but still I try to commit and end up to marrying a man who (he is not totally in love) being so good to me. These thing makes my life a little bit shaky.

    Hey!

    I’m not sure if this is what you want to hear but I‘m not sure if you should marry him but it is completely your choice. You will both end up getting hurt, you will be hurting because you can’t be yourself and i’m not sure if i’m correct so correct me if i’m wrong but you don’t seem to be happy with him and you say he isn’t totally in love either. I’m really sorry if this seems harsh but you say yourself you know it won’t work. I honestly don’t mean to sound horrible so if it comes across this way I apologise deeply. I just want you to know that you deserve to be happy and should do whatever you need to do to achieve this! Again I send my apologies if this sounds horrible or confrontational- this was never my intention! Good luck and I wish you all the best x

    I have 2 things to add ... If you identify as bi, the mistake I made was not being open with it from the beginning.. if possible. (years later you will kick you self) .. then if not.. and given the fact that he seems not 100% in to you .. consider if you will be able to live with that... with the hope that it changes.. I think you would know your relationship dynamics, would it work?

    One needs to sometimes go with your gut feeling (my opinion).. I agree with xfemmelesbian though, you have to make choices that will make you happy.

    I think I have slightly misunderstood what the poster was asking/saying when I replied this having read your reply- it was almost 1am when I replied to this post so I was half asleep. I completely agree with what you have said. You worded it brilliantly!

    Annieromz.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! :old_smile: I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that night that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) :old_big_grin: when that becomes necessary!

    *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. When I first joined Empty Closets I was in need of a lot of support and encouragement and I found it here…EC is a safe place. I hope that you'll find good things here too! Folks here will talk to you and share...you don't have to be afraid of asking questions...we're glad to have you! I'm not sure if I understand...are you planning on marring or already married? In either case however, being honest is always the best choice. When you are making a promise to be with another person (marriage vows), if you have doubts about whether you should go through with it or not, then it is not a good idea to make that kind of a promise. It's far better to step back and be honest...then both of you can. take a bit of time to carefully examine what you are doing and make the best decision. If you've already married, then it's really about then same. Much better to sit down and have a serious and very honest conversation and try to work out the problem. Communication in any kind of a relationship is very, very important. If you feel comfortable to let us know a little more about your situation and we will try to help as much as we can! :old_smile:

    Some info on how to navigate EC:
    When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: :old_cool:

    *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership.

    *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! :old_rolleyes: If you have any questions at all, you can always send me a Private Message.

    It’s tough but try not to be too hard on yourself, plenty of people have been in your position. It’s best to be as honest as possible but in as gentle a way as possible. It’s worth considering whether you are financially able to support yourself if/when the relationship breaks down.

    Hi Annie, I'm confused. From the title of your post it sounds as if you have already married this man. But your post as quoted above suggests you haven't yet done the deed.

    Obviously, if it's the latter - don't.
