Why isn’t there chemistry?

It's hocus pocus non-existent thing. It's a fairy tale. It's a unicorn. It can change on a whim.

It's "feels" and not logical. People who say they want chemistry in a relationship as a first priority are the women who are always bouncing around from one man to another and complaining.

I guess you think arranged marriages are best as your view is two people who are very compatible is all that is needed and the emotional part is irrelevant and unnecessary.

I am sorry you have never felt chemistry with a partner. If you had you would know it exists. Marriages without chemistry exist and in many parts of the world are the norm but for some people, feeling something for your partner beyond checking off compatible factors is important. A lot of people want to be attracted to, aroused by, and drawn to their partner. They want love and feeling. They want more than a friendship or a checklist of commonalities.

He sounds ideal, OP. Marry him quick.

You may not feel chemistry because your gut/nervous system is not reacting to this man. Which is a good thing. "Butterflies" is often just a warning system.

Have you always had a thing for bad boys OP??

Some women seem to only share chemistry w/men who treat them bad.
They may thrive on chaos + drama most especially if this was the type of home life that they were raised in.

Am not saying this applies to your case at all >> just offering some food for thought. 💭

You don’t have any karma to work out with each other.

This is yet another reason why getting rid of the "patriarchy" - in which dad picks your husband - was a disaster.

Have to say..... you are not entirely wrong.

No-Fault divorces were the worst thing the crooked lawyers/politicians have done to human relationships in decades.

Logically you are correct.
Emotions come with familiarity, so any two people could become emotionally involved and love each other with time.

Arranged marriages can be very successful without much chemistry because there is a lot more compatibility in values, religion, culture, circumstances, families, social connections and financial resources. If neither had sex before, both parties are equally excited to explore sex and go through the learning curve together. Also most partners tend to be young under 25 so they've more vigor and less baggage. (Not recommending them but highlighting that they aren't the all cons no pros scenario as projected in recent Western society.)

I guess this explain why so many women file for divorce a decade into their marriage. Many seem to be so desperate to have children that they just pick a guy they can initially tolerate. But that lack of chemistry is probably why suddenly a decade later they show up here screaming I hate my husband, we have nothing in common, I don't wanna spend time with him etc
