Loosing My Mind

Hi Ladies

I have been married for 6+ years. It was an arranged marriage. My husband's was after us for the alliance.I belong to a middle class family. My father never contributed anything for us.Now my brother is also the same. He was/is too lazy to work and mom took care of the family.

I started working part-time jobs since high school to help my mom.After college started working in a reputed MNC and got great appreciation for my hard work. I was always respected by everyone for my simplicity,kindness and hard work. We have told my husband's family that we do not have anything to give them and can only bear the wedding expenses. They agreed to everything and we got married.

I quit for job to live abroad with my husband. Since I had work visa i wanted to look for a job again . Since I am not from IT field he said you will not be able to get a job. I told him I am ready to do any job as I am not used to be dependent on anyone. He said that with my education I wont even get a job in a petrol bunk. I felt very bad and stopped looking for jobs. There always something or the other. Mil used to taunt that my parents could not give gold and what not.

We had to go to India as my husband changed jobs . He never used to give me money to go anywhere. He used to give Rs 100 and asked me to go my bus. I could not ask my mom for money as she was still struggling to payback my wedding expenses. There were lots of fights and mil,sil drama that happened while I was there. He left abroad and did not even bother to give me some money for my expenses in India. Mentally i had go through a lot taunting,silent treatment ,blaming and what not. After I returned to the States it became even worst. He used call me useless,fit for nothing. I took troll on my health and could not conceive on my own. By the way our Sex life was never so great. I had to through fertility treatment . If any of our friends get pregnant i used to get taunted.Finally I got pregnant. I never got any emotional support from him .He doesn't share anything with me. All the major decisions are discussed with mil and she will take approval from SIL. During pregnancy he never used to pamper since mil was here she used to get pampered.

I used to do all the cooking and everything till my due date. I could not ask mom to come as it will be difficult for her quit job as it is the only source of income for her. After delivery i had post par tum depression. And my used to start taunting me to get a job. I took some courses and did certifications. Got a job worked for few months .But could not survive as it was different field and I was not confident and lot of anxiety. With everything go in life . I feel so lonely all the time not able share my feelings with anyone, I am not able to mingle with people like I used. I am not able to hide feelings anymore . I feel like my inner happiness is gone. Although I have good friends I am not able to express what I feel.

My husband sleeps in a different room.Its been more than a year now. Although he is good father. I can feel he is not not interested in me . He hardly talks if i ask him he says if we talk we will fight. He never helps in any household chores. He finds a fault in every thing I do. Compares me with other working women and how they are able to manage job,home and kids. He never compliments me for any thing. I am a good cook everybody loves to eat my food. But he will make some senseless comment.As much I wish his words should not bother me. Its eating me from inside. Even if I try telling him he doesn't understand. I feel like I have no control over my life. He's very stubborn . I have been asking him that I want to visit India for few months he said he cannot live without our daughter and said I can visit and come back. I asked him how can I leave her with him. He doesn't even feed her milk and nobody saw her daughter India. This went on for almost a year. Few months ago he said we should plan for a kid and if I get pregnant I can go to India and told me that should tell him when I ovulate so that we can make love or we can go for IUI . I was hurt and told him I will not do that.

Now he is asking us to go to India for good and keeps saying did you start packing your bags and we will sell all the things that are not necessary as you will be leaving to India. He says after 6 months he will decide if i can come back or not. If I go to India he will try to control me with money. He will not give me any money while I stay at my parents home. So that I will stay at his place. I am loosing my mental peace with this man. I don't know what I should be doing.

Please help me ladies
