Having early troubles with marriage. Am I the only one feeling this way?

Vent/Rant/FML

29 yo M married for 1 year. I have been married for one year and it has been pretty horrible. I feel like my wife has given up. She has become too comfortable in our relationship (we have been dating for 6 years) and doesn’t want to step outside of her comfort zone. She doesn’t want to work out, try new activities, or go to new restaurants. She comes home from work and goes on TikTok and Amazon the whole night. I have tried multiple ways to get creative to get us to do things but she doesn’t want to do any of them and gets defensive when I suggest we do something different.

I’m a medical resident and am very goal oriented and want to excel with someone and motive and be motivated by them. I have lost my attraction on an emotional and physical level because of this. She has given up. She is wearing sweat pants and hoodies when we go out to bars.

She also has a different vision of what our future looks like. We don’t agree on how many kids we want, where we will live, or how we would want to raise our kids. I had some misgivings even before the wedding but I was too much of a pussy to act on my feelings. I want to avoid conflict so much that I’ll give into people too easily. I don’t want to realize later in life that I’ve been married to the wrong person. I fell in love with the idea of being married so much that I’m worried I didn’t find the right person.
