Today, I realized that even though I'm marrying my fiancée in 2 weeks, I don't even love her any more. The only reason I'm doing it is because I don't want to upset her or her family, because they think I'm the best thing that ever happened to her. FML

You'll hurt her greatly if you don't marry her. But you'll hurt both of you so much more if you marry her without loving her. Better to endure a great pain for a while than live years in a lie.

Don't get married, then. When she finds out she would have wished not to get married to you.

Although it never got to the stage where we were discussing marriage, I found myself in a similar boat - I was with a woman and over time, I found that I had fallen out of love with her. There was no reason, it just happened. For a while I tried to keep things going, to see if I could rekindle the feelings I had for her, but to no avail. After a while, she caught on and confronted me. I had two options - I could be honest and break her heart there, or I could instead chip away at it over time. However, I knew she deserved far better than that, so I took the path that would be worse in the short-term but better in the long-term. I told her and broke her heart. I felt like an absolute monster, but looking back at it, I had made the right choice. She needed space for a while, which was understandable, but a few months down the line and we're back to being close friends. Make no mistake OP, both of the choices will lead you down the path of the villain, but you must choose whether this is a path you'll follow for the short or long term. You both deserve to be with someone you truly love and nothing less.

....you're an idiot, if you're not in love with her, you don't marry her. Who cares what her family thinks.

Her family will get over it. Do what's best for the two of you.

This is exactly what I did in my FIRST marriage. DON'T do it! Man up and walk away!

Don't ruin her life by marrying her when you don't even love her! She can find someone else that genuinely cares for her. Tell her the ******* truth.

This is not a reason go marry someone. If you don't marry her, it'll upset her and the family, but at least you're being honest to her, her family, and yourself. Marrying her and not loving her could potentially cause the whole wedding to be for nothing as well... Don't marry someone if you don't love them.
