We've been married 5 years.... I come from a very big family and that's one thing that's always mattered to me. He does too but they're not close... Hell, he rarely visits his grandparents, even... Or takes care of his parents... Because I live with his parents (he made that a condition before we got married because his dad is a big deal in the govt and he wants the perks), I end up having to cater to his parents too... But that's not enough for him. He wants me to be a soulless machine, to be available to him at his whim... I've told him countless times that I need emotional support but he doesn't care about that... My mum's been ill for quite a while and she's always asking me, "does he know I'm sick?", I lie... She sees through my lies but I do it anyway...
Anyway, a couple of months ago I started talking to an old friend... It was just talks but our talks became sexual because of all the unhappiness we were both facing... You know, it's very easy to say, if you're not happy, leave.. But it isn't an easy thing to do.
So he found out... And now, on top of all the physical abuse, I'm a slut. Everything I do triggers his hand... I don't know what to do... I'm scared, but I can't break free... Fuck me, I thought I had more than this...

If you have health insurance, I'd check into whether therapy is available through insurance coverage. I don't mean to say that lightly or flippantly. It really helped me.

If your husband is hitting you, that is domestic abuse. No "if, ands or buts". It is physical abuse. Get photos of any bruises. Let a friend see the marks left on you. Use your smartphone to record the audio of any encounters. On the iPhone, there's an app called Voice Memos that you could probably use for that.

The above is a first step at least.
