I hail from India. My family has arranged my marriage with a person who is emotionally abusive. The wedding is in January 2015. I lost my father 12 years back and last year I lost my elder sister. So, my family wanted me to get married so that our family could find new happiness that has long been lost. It's been 9 months now that I've been dating this guy. I've realized how angry and abusive he becomes at times. The last time we had a fight, I felt like I would soon get a heart attack. Because of the long courtship period and social pressure, I'm unable to call this wedding of. Plus I'm pathetically in love with him and it seems impossible to leave him despite the fact that he is abusive. All my friends say that I'm extremely humble and sane for my age and I will loose my personal life marrying this guy. This guy has always been in control of his father, who holds a very reputed position under Govt of India. He believes that just like his grandma and his mom have never spoken a word in front of his grandpa and his father respectively, so should I learn how to stay quiet and enjoy life in his family. There are just two months left before the wedding and this is driving me crazy. Please help me!
