Today my gf told me that she did love her ex husband and that the only reason it ended was because he was abusive to her.

It caught me off guard cause she told me that she didnt like him at all and only married him because her parents told her to. She also told me that she never liked the sex from him and that she preferred at the time to be with a girl.

Now it's making me question everything she ever said to me... I dont care that she loved and wanted to marry him, what I care about is why lie? She told me he was abusive, but always told me that she didnt want to marry him... I'm so confused.

hmm... could it be possible that ALL those things are true? She only married him because her parents told her to, she didn't enjoy the sex and that maybe she did actually love him? OR maybe she herself is confused about how she truly felt? Just thinking of other possible scenarios other than she flat out lied to you.

Why would you say ur parents made you marry someone if you actually love them... then they didnt make you do anything.... right? So why was she so scared to say she loved him?

I firmly believe that it is possible to love someone and not like them in the least.

People often get pressured into marriage by family. Maybe she loved him, but felt pressured into marrying him. Maybe she loved him then didn’t like him because he abused her.
