Question
Hi Nafeesah. I write to you because as you are Indian I think. I am Indian but also Thai, as am born in Thailand.
I am married for 8 years already. I am 27 and my husband is 40. He is a good man, with respectable and good job. I never take relations with another man until marry him.
He always insist I wear only girls clothes, like skirt dress and heels. Never can wear jeans or things like that. I don't mind. But some people say he abuse me. Like at work, they ask why I only wear the skirt. So I try to wear those things, but he finds them and takes away, getting angry. But never to strike me. Never. I want to obey my husband and be like he asks, and he too is always good, never cheat or such thing. Just about the clothes and a lot of relations because that is his way. Some people don't like the idea to obey the husband but I am Indian way of thinking and will look after him.

Answer
Just to correct you...Im not indian....second your husband should let you choose what you want. What do you have in common with a man your husbands age? You shouldnt allow your husband to decide on what you wear that's your choice.Be your own person and wear what you want.

Expertise

I can answer just about anything on abusive relationships, but I can't give legal advice on how to get out of one that's something you need to speak with an attorney or a counselor trained and certified to deal with domestic violence issues to get resources in pursuing any/all legal recourse(s).

Experience

I have been in abusive relationships and I have shared my experience in helping others to get out of these types of relationships. I was in two abusive relationships one lasting nearly 2 years and the other for 5 years.

Education/Credentials
