 Try to talk to your husband and see if he is interested in making the marriage work. If he wants to stay in the marriage, then he will have to learn ways of resolving conflict. Ask him to remember why he got married in the first place. if things continue this way, ask him to go to counseling with you to help the marriage. There is a website called marriage builders that can be helpful to couples too.
Best wishes xo
