At the age of 26, I got engaged and married. My husband and I have a 9-year age difference. He has a government job in Bangalore as a senior manager. I come from a middle-class family, while he is well-settled.
After the day we got married, he left me alone, saying it was due to the financial year. I stayed at my in-laws’ house with my mother-in-law. Till now, I have been living in my house. I didn’t know whom to share my struggles with, so I confided in his close childhood friend, hoping to resolve the issue. However, my husband misunderstood this, thinking I was trying to ruin his reputation. My only intention was to live with him, which is why I shared it.
Immediately after that, he sent me a divorce notice. I went to his parents and apologized, as he and his parents were living separately. I even apologized to him and begged him to continue our marriage. Now, I am 29, and he is 38.
Recently, my father got injured, and I don’t know whom to turn to. I am unsure whether to spend money on his medical expenses or the court case. Please help me. We were only together for three months and had a physical relationship, so I don’t know how to move on and start my next life. It has now been three years, and finally, the case is in my court.
In school, college, and work, I never failed, but now my life is a question mark. Please help me figure out how to sort this out. He also has a girlfriend who lives in Australia. He always prioritizes her over me. She is married and has a 16-year-old son, yet he talks to her 24/7-even in the bedroom. If I ever questioned him, he would blame me. He stayed in one room while I stayed in another, even cooking separate meals.
He would punish me for no reason, and I had no support from my in-laws. His family and he blocked all my family’s numbers. I lost my age, my job, my time-everything. I don’t know whom to turn to. Every night, I can’t sleep. Women my age are having kids and living happily. Please help me.
He had a habit of video calling call girls, yet, in order to save my marriage, I forgave him. But still, he and his family continue to avoid me, and he has ruined my life.
