My Husband Stood Silent While My In-Laws Traumatized Me

After eight years of dating, we finally decided to get married in December 2023. Right after the wedding ceremony, it was time for my welcome into my husband’s (M32) family. Instead of going to their home, I was taken to some bizarre place of worship a small, cramped room packed with his family members. That’s when things took a horrifying turn. They began some weird ritual, and out of nowhere, a woman started acting completely insane, screaming and acting possessed right behind me.

His family members actually bowed down to her as she started speaking in this creepy man’s voice, commanding my husband not to change and threatening to punish me if I “acted silly” in the marriage, even twisting my ear like a freakish warning. This nightmare lasted for an hour, with her pretending to be some dead guy “blessing” the family. And then, to top it off, they sent me back to my parents’ house, telling me to return in two hours.

My phone was with my sister, who was waiting downstairs, so I immediately called my husband. And what did I find? The man was half asleep, as if nothing had happened! When I asked him what the hell that was, he casually said, “It’s just something my family believes in. It’ll be over when we leave in ten days,” and told me to take a nap! When I went back two hours later, they did the whole disturbing charade AGAIN.

And what did my husband do? NOTHING. He just stood there, watching it all happen without saying a word. I was beyond horrified. I told my family everything, and they confronted him, making it clear that if this nonsense happened again, I would leave him. He promised it would never happen again, but I could barely trust him. A few days later, while we were still staying with his family, they decided we should visit their ancestral temple, far from the city.

I asked him what was going to happen, and he swore it was just a temple visit, nothing more. But as soon as we got there, they made us bow in front of some old photographs. Then, his grandmother started making frantic phone calls to the SAME WOMAN from before! My husband’s mother told me they were trying to summon that spirit AGAIN to “seek blessings.” I immediately texted my parents, and they confronted my husband once more. He reassured us it wouldn’t happen again, but honestly, how could I believe him?

The memory of that twisted scene haunts me. It’s been three months since the wedding, and our relationship is already shattered. I can’t believe the man I dated for eight years didn’t lift a finger to protect me from this insanity. Now, I can’t even look at his family without feeling sick. They keep calling and texting DAILY, dragging me back into that nightmare. I’m seriously considering ending this marriage. How can I stay with someone who lacks the spine to stand up to his family, even when they traumatize his wife?
