We got married 1.6 yrs ago. It was an arrange marriage. We never met each other before marriage bcoz he was in US and I was in India. But spoke for 6 months. Now we have tons of issues. I am a very optimistic person and know things can be worked out if one wants to. Coz "Life is beautiful, it’s just we need to knw how to live it beautifully".
Myself: I come from middle class but open minded, liberal and sophisticated fly. My mom, dad and bro are my best frnds. We share everything about each other and have a very deep bond. I did my Bachelor of Commerce. Bcoz of some domestic problem, I couldnt study further and stared working since I was in 2nd yr. I have 6 yrs of exp and bcoz of my dedication and hard work I did well professionally. I was heading HR dept. in one of the Softwrare co. I took care of my parents and younger brother very well. I even own a house in Mumbai. Bcoz of the hardships I have gone thru in life I have developed myself at very stage. I am a very calm, patient person and can deal with things gracefully most of the time. I believe problems are not bigger than humans.
My husband: He is a Masters in Computers. His family is pretty conservative and narrow minded where they think woman are not to be treated equally and wives are inferior then husbands. He doesnt share everything with his family. I dont see that openess or oneness in his family. They all are very serious about education, which is good. And even while evaluating a person his only criteria is HOW QUALIFIED HE/SHE IS, and whats his/her current profile, job status, or university he/she studied. He is very proud of whatever he has today. He is VERY VERY VERY short tempered as well (that runs in his family).
Here is the list for problem.
1) For him I am good for nothing. I am DUMB becoz i am not from comp background.
2) He thinks I am a liability for him becoz he has to spend for me. And I am totally depended on him. I am on h4 in US and cant work. According to him I havent done anything in life and I am just a douche bag coz I am not a post graduate and not working.
3) Whatever he does for me, he says it 10 times. Eg: you eat becoz i earn, stay in this house becoz of me. Whatever you have its only bcoz of me.
4) He is always abusive verbally and physically. Broke my nose ones, and also ruptured my ear drum ones.
5) For him my ex jobs and career is nothing but cheap, low class cos. and his job is reputed and valued.
6) Also hates my parents and dont respect them ATALL doesn’t even talk to them, coz he thinks they are girl’s parents and they have to bow in front of him.
7) VERY money oriented. Everything in life starts with money and end with money.
My parents knws everything n they are ready to take action. His parent knows only 40% and dont try to make him understand coz they are afraid of him. He doesn’t have a mentor or best frnd whom he can talk to about all these issues. I now realize I did biggest mistake by marrying such a egoistic, arrogant, aggressive, insensitive person. Or may be I am not the one he wants to be with. May be he have good qualities but that are not for me. I need to know what can be done to rectify this. Or is there a problem in me. Am I a less of a wife or is he incapable of becoming a decent husband or we are just not made for each other?
I need a serious help to my problems or else I am sure "separation will happen".
Out of everything you said, the domestic violence is such a huge issue compared to the rest, that I feel compelled to address only it. You live in the U.S. Domestic violence is a crime in the U.S. Call the police, have him arrested, don’t bail him out, and testify at his trial. While in prison, he may see the error of his ways.
