I was in a relationship with my husband for 20 years, since my school days. He moved abroad and I was living in India alone. Due to some reasons, he told me that he couldn’t come back to India and I had to come abroad for him. His entire family from his father, mother, and brother was already living abroad with him for the past 10 years.
When I reached abroad for him, his behavior suddenly changed. He started abusing me and physically assaulting me over even the smallest issues. He never took a stand for me. When his parents abused me, he just stood there silently and watched. Somehow, we got married abroad, but his behavior never changed. He fought with me all night over his cousin and beat me badly without any reason.
After our marriage, we were fighting every day. He kept beating me and I kept silently bearing all the pain. His parents never supported me, because they knew my parents weren’t around to help me. My MIL constantly accused me of being after their money and blamed me for the reason their son brought me abroad. My FIL always hated me and taunted me every chance he got, which I hated a lot.
My MIL even threw me out of her house because she wanted to hide her affair from the family. She never called me after that because her hatred for me runs deep. I kept enduring pain from my MIL and FIL, thinking it would eventually stop. But then the story took an even worse turn. My BIL got married to a woman who had been trying to marry him for 10 years.
She was jealous that I married before her and couldn’t stand that I looked better and was more educated than her. Now she is doing everything she can to separate me from my husband. She uses all kinds of evil tricks even black magic to destroy our relationship. She hates me so much that she and my BIL have never even called me “Bhabhi.” They never wanted to give me the respect of a real family member.
Instead, they’ve brainwashed my MIL, FIL, and husband against me just so they can push him to divorce me. Every single one of them my husband, in-laws, and BIL’s wifeis a red flag. They hate me for no reason, and I’m left suffering alone in a toxic, loveless marriage.
Question: Please, what should I do?
Option 1: Should I divorce my husband and leave for home?
Option 2: Should I go to my in-laws’ home to make a connection?
Option 3: Should I continue to sustain this relationship?
