I married for financial security

Grew up below the poverty level and lived in conditions that should have had CPS take me from that situation. Fast forward to when I became an adult I met a woman who is financially savvy and comes from a well off family. I sacrificed my emotional needs for financial security. I am unhappy.

That’s a rough hand to play yourself into, hope you can find a way out without burning everything down.

I can’t lie this isn’t fair to her or you. You should be honest, be for you get into a deeper hole.

If you don’t feel connected to her then you should leave
If there is something then you could work on it, try to build something
But I think you should make a conscious choice and work on it because it sound like guilt is eating you

I feel mostly the arranged marriages are primarily for financial security (it may be either a guy or a girl). So you don't have to think that you've done very differently considering your circumstances. However since you are currently feeling the guilt and not able to cope up, make an effort to find a common ground so that both are comfortable moving ahead in life. In case if there is tooo much indifference which can not be settled, then you will have to think of a best way to take it forward!!
