No Affection In Marriage Novels & Stories

My eyes kept drifting back to him though, and before I realized it, I was studying him again. He looked relaxed now—so different from the cold CEO I’d been dealing with lately. His tie was loosened, his sleeves rolled up, and his hair had that messy, just-showered look that made him even more distracting. But beneath that ease was still the memory of this morning. The contract. The rules. I chewed slowly as the words replayed in my head. No emotional attachment. No public affection without prior notice. Respect his privacy. No interference in his family issues. The list went on and on. Like a rule book to remind me just how fake this marriage really was.

There was now one huge question that loomed like a hot air balloon in the air. How would this affect their marriage? Although she had served the divorce papers as a gift to be opened in public, James had somehow kept it under the wraps. She suspected that he had also succeeded in hiding the papers from his father. Patrick being a traditional man would never condone a divorce especially if it appeared to stem from the fault of his own son. He had mentioned at their wedding that one who could not persevere in a marriage was not fit to run the family business. Patrick would rather open the business to the public than give it over to a son who disappointed him.

At club we mostly have some drinks and chat no dance or anything exotic. Girls throw their selves at us but we are not like that. They both are married and I believe in arrange marriage so I don't want this flings. In my family everyone had arrange marriage and all are happy so I can be happy as well. At start i wasn't ready to settle down and all so my family respected that and then there was some problem in my horoscope so they didn't wanted me to get married. As I reached I saw my home. Big mansion. Everyone has kind of big room which consist bedroom study and living room in the suite. We don't allow visitors or guests to those floors.

"But it's all over, I didn't say this because I have hate feelings for what happened." "Then what is your reason why you tell that?" "Because we're both stuck. They do even not think that we each have our preferences, especially you. You and your girlfriend will be disgraced because of the wedding we will be holding," he looked at me intently. "The happiness of their children is not important to them. All they think about is their agendas. What they want is called personal agreements, and they are invading our will!" "You mean, you are against the business marriage—"

“I know the reality of it all. I’ve never been an attractive girl-” “You’re a very lovely girl,” I interrupted her, and I leaned forward in my seat. “I promise, Kiara, I’m telling you the truth. You’re so much more than you think you are.” “That’s kind of you to say,” she remarked, seeming like she didn’t believe me. “My father has always told me that love wasn’t necessary in a marriage. He told me he wasn’t in love with my mother when they got married, but their marriage was good anyway. Is that true? Are loveless marriages able to work?”

Maxwell asked in curiosity, his gaze strained on me. My mouth closed and opened with no words. “And I don’t get why you keep saying he couldn’t say that, are you guys not married because of love?” “I did. We married because of love. But my husband is not big on affection, if you know what I mean. So it was shocking when I found out he’d said that.” I mentally stroked my head in the smooth way I answered him. No stutter, no hint that every word I’d said was a lie.

I won't cross any boundaries and I expect the same. “No, you said this marriage was formality. I told you, we will end up falling in love and w—.” “Ava.” “What?” She exclaimed. I took a deep breath and continued, “ I don't want misunderstanding. You'll have privacy, respect and financial security. Anything you want. That is what I can offer in this marriage.” “And affection?” She asked quietly. “No.” I said without hesitation. She looked at me for a long moment, her eyes unreadable.

He shrugged and proceeded to our bathroom. I quickly dressed, turned on my computer, and searched for similar questions about what I’d been through. Is marriage without love still worth keeping? I deleted the text. That wasn’t the right question. How about... How do couples stay married? What? No. I erased the text. What’s the point of staying married if there is no affection? Is this my fault? Do we still love each other? Nope. These weren’t the right questions. Is my husband cheating on me?

He said, “Feelings can’t be forced. If you don’t love him, you just don’t. Making it clear to him is the right thing to do. “Marriage is a lifelong commitment. Don’t settle, and don’t force yourself. “Perhaps it’s because the people in my family are all very devoted to marriage and love, and they all married because they had deep affection for one another. I think you’re very right; a marriage without love as its foundation is hard to sustain.” “Yeah, I genuinely just don’t have any feelings for Kent, and second, I don’t like his family background.” Alex said, “My nana often says that marriage isn’t just about two people. It’s about two families, so the family background is very important.”

Yvonne asked. Lydia nodded her head and said, "Your father is not promising. I have complained about him for a lifetime. I can't say love now. It's more about family affection. However, this is also reasonable. Marriage is a process of deterioration of emotions. Although love becomes family love, there is one thing that we can't be separated." "Is there no way to maintain it?" Yvonne frowned and asked. Lydia sighed. As far as she was concerned, she could not return to the feeling she had in the past. As for maintaining it, she had never thought about it, because the resentment had long gone far beyond love.
