Me and my husband have been married only two months now and I have been having some doubts regarding our future together and wonder if I'll be happy in the long-term. Before we got married me and my husband dated for four months. Now that I look back I think we may have rushed it just a little bit. The more I've gotten to know him I now often wonder if my husband is right for me. I feel lonely and neglected by my husband when we're together at the house like we're always doing our own thing unless we're intimate. He has an OBSESSIVE habit of playing video games to the point where he's not doing anything else productive and stays up till almost 3:00 in the morning I go to bed by myself almost every night. Sometimes he even goes without bathing. Before we got married we had some issues and now that we're married the issues seem to be getting bigger. There are a combination of a few issues. Financial (lack of finances), Insecurity, Hurt, Resentment from my side (my husband has said hurtful things to me I can't forget or move past that made me feel very insecure to the point where I can't enjoy lovemaking anymore), He's often critical of my weight and overall appearance and compares my physical appearance to his ex-girlfriend's often like he's in favor of his ex-girlfriend's body more. It's been this way since our whole relationship he apologizes but continues the same behavior that he knows makes me feel insecure. He does not make me feel beautiful. Now I often try to compare myself to his ex like CRAZY and bring her up all the time now. Significant difference in values, life goals and priorities, Unmet emotional needs (from my side), Unresolved feelings and conflicted emotions from past relationships from my husband's side (my husband jumped into a relationship with me right after he broke up with his ex-girlfriend) Since we've been married her name seems to come up even more. I love my husband very much but marriage is a step I think we both weren't fully ready for. I told my husband I've been thinking about divorce. My husband wants to stay married and fight for our marriage. He is happy and satisfied while I'm suffering and he doesn't see any issues or anything that's wrong but I do. I think he sees the issues but wants to sweep it under the rug and forget and move past it but not me I want the issues resolved. I feel like I'm trying to fight for it and solve all our problems alone and like I'm in this marriage alone. I don't want to get divorced and regret it if there were things we could've easily solved together. I wonder how me, my husband and our families would feel.

I am still not sure its a genuine post, I was sceptical reading it for the first time

https://www.dxpnet.com/opinion/relationships/how-can-i-stop-comparing-myself-to-my-husbands-ex-girlfriend--10053450/

why are you calling him husband all the time? why not "him"? true or not, it lacks intimacy..

I still think its a troll post, this nonsense cant be true...BUT generally in these situations, its a good thing if you have a common interest a hobby.... if he is playing video - games, ask him to teach you how to play, so you can both play and have something in common and cheer on the victories together - just an example

why people marry in haste, not knowing the other and then wanting divorce without doing something for it? nobody takes marriage seriously anymore?
