Marriage

Assalam walikum everyone,

Wondering if I can get some advice and support please. I've been married for 12 years it's was a forced marriage but I accepted it and tried giving my marriage a go. We have an 8 year boy. Things have always been difficult in our marriage he use to abuse me physically and now he abuses me emotionally and verbally. My husband hates spending time with now doesn't like looking at me and we sleep in separate rooms.

I've asked him several time what he wants he doesn't say anything besides giving me verbals. He doesn't want to separate but continue to live two separate lives.

I've come to a stage were I have some affections and love but don't want to go the wrong way about it.

There has been someone I've been speaking nothing else this person makes me feel good and I feel close to him. If my husband is not willing to give a divorce what can I do.    I really can not control my feelings and emotions and don't want to go the wrong ways
About things.


Please can you help. Jazakallah

What are verbals? The emotional infidelity you are involved in must come to a complete stop until you are free from your marriage. Perhaps, for the sake of your son, your marriage can be salvaged. A little maturity and communication can go a long way to that end.

You have redress both in the UK courts, and through your religion to leave the marriage, however why not first try marriage counseling? Perhaps whoever prescribed the depression medication can point you in the right direction. Has your family and his family been able to help?
