My Wife Hates Me; How to Amend This Marriage?

27 February, 2022
Q I am really upset right now and do not know what to do. I got married 2 years ago and started my life with my wife. We had a hard time before marriage which almost broke our engagement. I did a mistake back then and she has developed hate towards me. But somehow we married because I loved her very much.

Initially, we were a happy couple. She needed time for intercourse to happen between us so I respected her, but we had intimate relation between us from the start of our marriage and I was very happy with it.

After a year when I tried to discuss with her the matter to start our relationship properly and to consummate our marriage, she refused to do it and said to keep our relationship the same as it is. Whenever I try to convince her, she showed me to anger.

I tried to initiate intercourse several times but faced anger again. I loved her so I tolerated it, I even said sorry multiple times to freshen her up.

After 2 years passed, I started to watch porn again (as I watched before marriage my times). I tried to talk to her about it that because of her ignorance I resort to porn, but she always said that it was not a big deal. She does let me get intimate and help me release my sexual tension but does not allow me to have intercourse with her.

After 2 years, she now started behaving strangely and many times when I try to sit with her, she hits me and says to me to sit away from her. She even started talking about our issues before marriage and tell me that she does not like me and does not even bear the presence of me around her.

Please note that we do not really talk about things much because she never wanted to talk. She never really wanted to discuss any problem with me, we never really watched movies together, never had talked together, never had traveled together because she never wanted to.

She always is busy on her cellphone talking to friends. Most of my pleasant time with her is during intimacy only which she mostly regrets saying that she does not like doing it (although I satisfy her need through orgasm).

One day I had an argument about whether she wanted to start a relationship with me or not. She said she do not love me and do not want to start a relationship. In frustration, I told my parents about our difficult situation. I asked my father to talk about it with my father-in-law because I was quite hesitant to talk to him myself. When he talked to my father-in-law, my wife refused and called me a liar.

Now she is saying to everyone that she does not want to live with me as I cannot respect her. But my intention was just to make our problems disappear. I also tried to take her to a gynecologist for professional help, but she refused that too, which left me with this only and it made everything worst.

Now I am very upset do not know what to do. I am suicide right now. Everyone in the family tried to involve, but she is not willing to come. I loved her so much that I did everything I could to meet every need of her, but she ended up leaving me horribly. She is at her parents’ house and blocked me completely and removed all contacts.
