Hi,
You need to do a self-assessment. Do you want to continue with your marriage or not?
Please understand that you cannot change your husband's or in-law's behaviour. It was a love marriage in your case, and apparently the real product did not meet up to the expectations created by the sales promotion. You have now to decide whether you are happy in the current situation (and whether you will be happy in the way the situation evolves in the future). There cannot be a conditional evaluation, e.g. if my husband does something, then I will be happy. The evaluation has to be on an as-is where-is basis, i.e. am I happy now and will changing my expectations make me happy?
If you are not happy, then as advised above, take a stand and move out. All other future complications can be solved easily, since you are educated and capable of supporting yourselves. If you feel that changing yourself can make you happy in the current situation itelf then try to salvage your marriage. However, please note any future hopes of salvation shoud not rest on any expected change in your husband or your in-laws, but only in changing yourself. Even if your husband improves temporarily, the basic nature and behaviour shall always remain the same. Perhaps, a discussion with your husband can help, but not necessarily.
Regards,
Dr Suneet Gupta,
Advocate, Mumbai
