I’m 22 years old and I’ve been with my husband for 3 and half years and married for 10 months. It’s been super hard because he decided to get guardianship of his four teenage siblings and it was left as an ultimatum for me to either be with him or leave. I chose to stay and try to help him so he proposed early last year. We got married super fast, August of last year. We both sort of regret getting married so young. We’ve been so stressed out about raising his siblings so they are currently moving back to live with their grandparents. I felt so trapped because my money and even my time was spent on them-through all of it I’m now left feeling like I want to be single and live alone because I never had the chance to do that. I love my husband but our relationship isn’t perfect like most. I also feel that our personalities are super different and I didn’t know how much it was effecting me until now, I am a super optimistic and giddy person while he’s the complete opposite and I’ve talked to him about it because he brings me down a lot. We have been seeing a couples therapist for a couple months and it’s definitely helped us communicate but I’m still left feeling like I want a chance to experience life as an individual. I’m torn because I made a commitment to someone that I love deeply. He’s willing to separate and live apart to give me what I am desiring but we talked about the possibility of us never coming back together and it made us both cry.

I would appreciate honest advice please!
