@Koi2033 Hello Koi, Welcome to 7cups. It's great that you're reaching out for support during a challenging time.
You have used powerful and emotional words like "catch a breather," "seek a safe space," and "unhappy marriage."
I don't know what exactly is going on in your life. But one must understand that marriage in any culture or society is a "mutual agreement of respect, care, acceptance, patience, compromise, and commitment." between both spouses.
A spouse has to play multiple roles with multiple personality traits. For instance, they keep work and family life in two isolated jars or worlds. I am trying hard to practice it for a long time, but it is very challenging once you have kids who look up to you as their energy source, motivation, and happiness.
Many people find solace and understanding here. Remember, it's essential to communicate and seek help in real life, especially regarding your marriage. You don't have to face everything alone.
Feel free to ask if you need to talk or have questions about using this platform. 7cups has many compassionate listeners who could listen to you and may support you emotionally to better deal with the current situation. Have a great day, and live your life to the fullest.
