Question : I am a 29-year-old woman and have been married for 8 years. We have a 7-year-old kid as well. My husband is a mummy’s boy and has never respected our relationship. If I argue or ask him about anything, he shares everything with his mother. We live together with my mother-in-law.
I am working so that I could manage my expenses and look after my son, as my husband does not provide any financial support. One day, he decided to leave his job and started his own business and as his business flourished, he turned even more hostile towards me. His mother supported him throughout and as usual, I was never involved in anything.
Whenever I asked him for money to manage household expenses, he always picked up a fight. One fine day, I returned from the office to discover that both have packed their stuff and left the house (it is a rented accommodation)—leaving me and my son alone. The very next day, I received legal notice demanding a divorce.
After going through all the hassle of police and lawyers, we got back together after four months. Initially, he was good but started behaving the same way within a few weeks. I even helped him financially in buying a plot, but it seems he is only interested in extorting money from me.
Please help me!

So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has yoked together, let no man put apart
Let your husband respect this arrangement but of course not forgetting his other responsibility towards his parents 1 Timothy 5:4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn first to practice godly devotion in their own household and to repay their parents and grandparents what is due them, for this is acceptable in God’s sight. Exodus 20:12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that Jehovah your God is giving you
Your story is incomplete, I mean it is scattered, doesn’t tie up nicely. Explain properly then people will add their advice.
The man does not love you. Just leave him with his mum and concentrate on your business. I am sure you can find a good man in the wider universe.
I agree with Jah!
