hello everyone ,

I’m writing here for the first time so please bear with me. I got married 12 years ago in an arranged marriage. My family pressured me as I was not interested in getting married to this person. I liked somebody else, but my family did drama and forced me into it.

After the nikah I was optimistic and thought that this is Allah’s marzi. I accepted it with my heart and soul. I left the country after ruksati with him. I was so happy, but I was also very young compared to him and he always called me immature. He was always complaining I was really immature before marriage. I was and I kept trying to listen, but once in a while I would make a mistake. Sometimes I forget keys or forgot to close the tip of a shampoo bottle or forgot where I put the things while cleaning.

He fought with me like crazy and then all of a sudden one day the guy (I’m assuming the guy OP liked before) messaged me but I didn’t see the message, but he (Assuming her husband)saw the message. It’s not like I had done anything, but he (OP’s husband) reacted like crazy.

From that day things multiplied (got much worse?). I was pregnant for the first time. I couldn’t leave him. Even if I wasn’t pregnant, I have a stupid trait of being optimistic and thought everything will be fine. He made me cry all day. I’d say sorry like crazy for even little things. I begged in front of him by bending down on his feet but he kicked me off.

He would always complain that I don’t know how to clean or how to cook.. Then I got pregnant again and this time it wasn’t planned. Life stayed the same. Things got worse when I found out that my older kid is special needs. My ties became more strong now as I couldn’t even think of leaving because I can’t give a lavish lifestyle like the kids can get with their dad. I also couldn’t leave my older kid alone at home as his therapist comes home. So no matter what, I had to adjust to this situation.

My husband has a very dominant nature. He controls me. I’m scared to death if I do something wrong, he will be mad and then use very bad language to curse me and my family. When he does this, I just keep my mouth shut and endure all the pain inside. My Allah is witness that I don’t say a word. Whatever mistake I made, I try to correct it.

I used to be very bold, confident, fun, and a loving girl but now my personality has changed 180 degrees. Whoever sees me gets surprised that I’m the same person. I know my husband hates me so much and he tries to find little things to make an issue of. And not only an issue but a very huge issue that I have to beg him and apologize. He thinks I’m a bad wife and mom and that I’m good for nothing. But it is not true. Everyone always appreciates my kids and says I’m the best mom. I complete all my responsibilities. I even left my job for them. I also don’t go anywhere in peace (for myself like shaaping etc) because of my older special needs kid. I’m dealing with so much that I want to die but I don’t want to commit suicide because after dying Allah is going to punish me for a haram death.

Please I want to run away to some place where nobody will be there. I feel like my life is like “Sleeping With the Enemy” (movie). My husband said “I’m like that husband (the one in movie)” He also said if there was some other respectable woman in my position, then she would also escape* (like Julia bibi in the movie)*.

Re: i m helpless

what should i do

Re: i m helpless

what you need to do is use full stops. My IQ just dropped after reading that

Re: i m helpless

:(

Stop the begging and grabbing his feet and apologizing. You're lowering yourself, it reduces your respect even more in his eyes....and it's not working. At least carry yourself with more dignity.

Re: i m helpless

hmmm

Re: i m helpless

Maybe try a 180 next time?

How about having some self-respect for starters?

i m helpless

which country are you from?

Re: i m helpless

Standard response for people here: Leave him.

Realistic response: I can't understand what you wrote.

Re: i m helpless

First look for a job and go back to work. Then when you are financially stable, you can think about leaving him and please don't worry about not being able to provide your children with luxury, THAT is not what they want. They just want a loving home, food and shelter...that is all. I speak from experience

Re: i m helpless

Life will be like this now n then... when u are feeling helpless and unable to solve ur problems....then may be u will remember to bow to Allah and ask him to help u guide u show u the way.!!!!! And inshallah he will in time and then may be we will learn to remember HIM in good times too. Insha Allah

Re: i m helpless

Your husband does make a valid point. :chai:

Re: i m helpless

You bowed in front of your husband? Is he a God or something?

Listen, I am not in your shoes so I don't know what I'd do. But what I think I'd want my family to tell me is that I am not a pile of dirt and I deserve respect. I deserve better than what I am getting and I should try my best to get out of it.

What country are you in by the way?

Where there is a will, there's a way.

Re: i m helpless

You're welcome :D

Re: i m helpless

Here is my general respone of such posts on OP.. I thnk they r one sided..why is it that poster is always the perfect human being and the victim and the other person ( usually its a guy or MIL) is the devil incarnate.. I dont think things r ever that simple and uni dimensional.. when ur the poster u can choose to focus on whatevee u want and ignore everyrhing else and we rarely ever get the whole pic or whole truth.. you might have some complains but just being alive for ss long ss I been tells me that things are more complicated in real lide the me the angelic vicrim and he/she is the devil and evil for the sake of being evil.. I cant buy these kind of posts because I have never expericed such one dimensioanl people or absolute caricatures like the ones who exist on so many post s here..anyway may allah ease ur situation and give u whatever is best fornu my sisterb
