We could say the same thing about other bad women but we should not blame in gneral terms, like relgion.

Any Marriage now a days would really take a miracle to succeed without any flaws. With long hour jobs, traffic to and from work, families, friends, business calls, extra curricularactivities.. All these affects Quality Time with our Family.

I was a christain for more than 30 years then embraced Islam in 1993. Your sad experience is not because your husband is a Muslim, it is because his activites and need to find money to support your family keeps him away from giving you quality time.

I still have lots of christian friends and their wives' complaints are almost the same as you and some are much worst. A lot of Christian men, keep other lady friends for sex. And others have gambling and drinking problems. Financial problems and most especially the jealousy problems.

But very seldom will you hear alcohol and drinking problems on Muslim marriages because alcohol and gambling are not allowed. But of course there are still some Muslims who commit these sins. And a lot of Muslim marriages are also having problems, especially financial. But now a days, who don't?

What I'm saying is, bad things happens to every marriage, whatever their religion is. I am sorry that a muslim brother treated you badly. One consolation I could tell you is that in Islam, husbands who have treated their wives badly will not enter Heaven. That is if you believe in heaven? Why don't you just divorce your husband, which is also allowed in islam?

Islam is a perfect religion if followed and you should have reminded your husband hisIslamic duties on you and your rights as his wife. BUT WE SHOULD NOT BLAME RELIGION IN GENERAL. US President Bush LIED about WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ. Should I call all Americans as Liars?

For now, forget about your husband and marry someone of your faith, and I wish you all the best.
