Dear MIMsters: My Father-in-law has asked me to leave my matrimonial home

A lot has been going on in my marriage, so, I don’t know where to start from. Right now, I have been asked to leave my matrimonial home.

Hubby and I had an argument after I saw my hubby’s chat with a lady. She wanted to know if he was home safely because she was worried for him. He had just returned from a trip to his village, at least that is where he told me he was going to. I didn’t even know when he left his village until I checked his phone messages.

That night, I wanted him to make love to me. He became stiff and asked me, “what is your problem?” I told him to put the issue we had aside because I was ovulating but he refused. I angrily poured out my mind because I’ve been TTC and forced him to sleep with me, which he did but since then he hasn’t been happy.

We now quarrel at every given opportunity. When he tries to beat me, I fight him back. He tried to lock me out but I didn’t allow him to. After reporting him to his family and friends, he told them a lot of nasty things and lies about me. He lied that I broke his head and had to go to the hospital which is not true. His father called my dad to come and take me away but I refused.

His friend said I shouldn’t leave but my family wants me to leave because he is behaving like someone who is not interested in the marriage again. He’s always threatening to divorce me and marry a second wife. Should I leave my matrimonial room for him to be sleeping with another girl? I am tired of the whole situation because it looks as if I’m forcing my self on him. I asked God if it is his will that I continue in this marriage, let me miss my period this month but if is not, let my period come.
