you should try to work with your marriage and improve the dislikes your husband do not agree to. first of all you will find many sites off the internet of middle eastern food recipes or where ever your husband is from. if you have not converted to islam by now. you should do, but....for yourself and done willingly.

you have to perform all your wifely duties such as ironing clothes, keeping the house cleaned as spotless, dress modestly always, talk nicley to your husband. you must act and do like a arab wife. since your husband is here in usa. he will never change from his culture. since you married him. -> you have to adjust to his culture and be part of it. as what you have stated as sleeping separate from your husband , this is unhealthy. you must work back to a healthy normal marriage and stop complaining.

Warning for all you that are thinking about getting involved with a muslim or arab man-----you will have to adjust to his culture and act like an arab wife and means converting to the same faith in islam, or your marriage will never survive!
