Stuck In A Terrible Marriage

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh

I will keep this brief because I am terrified someone will identify me...

I am an amritdhari girl and married to an amritdhari man. I thought the match was good, based on what he made me believe, but it's terrible. He became abusive, controlling, dictating and worse than that he restricts me developing my Sikhi. I am not allowed to go anywhere, or do anything. If I am at home during the day, I have to recount everything that I have done and no matter what I cannot please him. He compares me to other mens wives and says everything against me. I dealt with this as being my karam, but it's getting worse. He now says if we have a child that the child will have to go to India as it's less hassle for him, and also I can't breastfeed so that I can go back to work faster. When I speak out, he pips me to the post always and he speaks so much like a politician that even I end up agreeing with his warped point of views! I don't want to leave him, I would rather work at the marriage but even when others have spoken to him, behind closed doors he's become worse or threatened suicide if I "ruin his name". I feel so depressed, I even pocketed every painkiller in the house and took them to work with me because I couldn't face returning home but I didn't get an opportunity to take them as there was others around, then the feeling subsided. I cry every day, I dread him coming home everyday... What can I do???

go to the panj pyare. It is great if you can get him to go with you, or if you think he will say no and try to stop you, go to the panj pyare alone. There is an amrit sanchar and keertan darbar on 4th July at Singh Sabha Gurdwara Crossroads. Panj pyare at amrit sanchars organised by akj or taksal are very experienced in dealing with family/marriage related issues. dont suffer in silence. tell older kamayee valay gursikh (truly spiritual ones) that you can trust, be selective in deciding who you tell though.

I would call the police and put him in jail. He deserves to rot. Nobody should have any reason to hurt and abuse their significant other.

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Firstly alert your parents, they have a right to know about this and see how they deal with it. If nothing is done to solve this issue then contact the police. You may get awkward glances from the community but they'll leave you alone (depending where you are but i figure you wont disclose. Nothing wrong with that of course). What he is doing is completely anti-gurmat. If anyone has witnessed him abusing you, then take them with you as proof of his misdeeds.

my sister there is always a way out

but please dont choose to end your life

as we know nothing really ends

and it is a much worser fate

dont let him control you

speak out and even if it has to end the relationship

find a safe way out

dont worry about him committing suicide

thats his issue

find someone around you to support you

its really hard over the internet

but all we can do is pray for you

remember you are a daughter of Guru Gobind Singh Ji

call out to your father

chaupai sahib

will protect you from your husband

and protect you from your own mind when things become tough

and hopefully put some sense in your husbands mind

remember your brothers and sister

turn to the khalsa for help

and help every sister that goes through the same thing

sometimes we experience things

and from that experience

we change things

your are strong

and now use this experience

to rise

and shine light on others

you are strong

vaheguru vaheguru vaheguru vaheguru vaheguru vaheguru

first start within

you are strong

you are a daughter of Guru Gobind Singh Ji

whatever stands in your way

you will climb over it

Definitely contact Sikh Helpline as someone mentioned alreadt. Also, let us sangat know how everything goes if you followed any of the advice above.

This is completely not normal at all. Please don't think it is. This man is violating you emotionally and doing tremendous damage. Please just seek help from anyone: the Sikh helpline, women's groups/charities, POLICE, etc.

Plus, people who threatened to kill themselves don't really do it. It is those who are quiet and suddenly gone. Also, disregard his "respect", you don't have to sacrifice your sanity for a creature as vile as this man sounds. Good Luck.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
