Default Marriage problem - no feelings for wife -
Salaaam,
I am after some opinions advice and hope brothers and sisters can assist.
I have been married for a short period of time 3 months.
It was an arranged marriage / rishta was done through family.
I met the girl twice in the company of my/her family.
The families liked each other, I thought it through couldn't think of a reason to say no.
She wasn't the most practising girl but alhamdulillah she did her best to complete her salah.
I did Istikara and got a positive feel I thought of 1 single reason to say no but was unable to so then decided to go ahead.
We got engaged but never met during engagement kept contact to a minimum I tried to keep it as islamic as possible.
First month was ok'ish we went on holiday we came back got on with our lives however since then things haven't really gone to plan in the last month I have stopped any sexual relationship with my wife.
The first 2 months were ok but we never really spoke we never got on any deep level we are 2 completely different people with different up-bringings.
We have nothing in common, the conversation goes as far as hello, how are you how is you day.
I have tried speaking but I can't we spend hours together in a room where she does her thing I do my thing and the conversation is kept to a minimum.
I cannot fault my wife, she is what one would expect from a wife and alhamdulillah fulfils her duties as a wife but we have no connection there is no click mentally/emotionally/physically.
For the first few months there was a physical relationship but all of a sudden i got put off and decided to speak about the issues which we were having instead of ignoring them, because I don't get on with her because I cannot find understanding with her and she cannot with me and I can't keep up the physical sides with no bonding with my wife, I do not feel anything for her and cannot force these feelings,
Obviously my wife was deeply upset and she knew we were having issues and has become more upset since I confronted the issues instead of ignoring it.
I do not know what to do? There is no way I can spend the rest of my life in this state it would just not work and another reason why I have stopped the physical side of things is because I do not wish for her to get pregnant until we are happy/content with each other and there isn't a single dua I make where I do not ask Allah to bless me with off spring and right from the start of the marriage I knew something was up so decided that may be going down the kid route would be best but now realised it isn't.

Alhamdulillah I am practising as much as I can living my life as halal as possible even started to read Tahajjud as often as I can, next step is to fast and strive in the path of Allah and beg for his mercy and his guidance.

Any brothers/sisters been in similar situations? any advice you could share ?
