Fatwa No: 221371

Question

Me & my husband have been married for a year & 8 months. My husband wants divorce from me because of past mistakes like me being disobedient for example. I had since reformed myself & went 2 therapy for 2 months and returned back to obedience. He refuses to sleep in the bed with me because of all the arguments. He refuses to get help for himself. I went to a total of 4 imams &they can't do nothing 2 convince him 2not get divorce. Whenever he gets mad at me he will not help out with house chores. He refuses 2 treat me kindly when we disagree leading him 2 ignore me & sleep away. It's been like this for 4 months now. I pray & make dua all the time 2 Allah 2 soften his heart but its not working. I do so much for him. I cook and clean and compliment him for the hard work he does outside home but he doesn't appreciate a thing I do for him. I write down little tip & reminders for us to reflect but he ignores and refuses to follow. He brings up a lot of things from the past that are bad &I feel it is only making things worse. He prays and says he wants to be like prophet pbuh but he doesn't help around the house. When I get emotional & cry he gets impatient and mean about it. He says he feels he has rushed marriage & feels he wasn't prepared. He is not willing to work things out at all &is being stubborn & thinks his reasons are legitimate for divorce. I try giving him kisses but he pushes me away. I say sweet words to him but he rolls his eyes & ignores me. I pray, wear hijab, obey him, fast, clean & cook but nothing works. Some ppl say I can't force him & and I'm not but he doesn't see the important of being a man and sacrificing for the marriage. Imams don't understand his reasonings &why he wants so much out of it. I mean I do make mistake &human¬ perfect but that's no reason to get divorce. He has divorced me 3times but the 1st 2 didn't count because I had sex &was on my period. B4 I thot it was only 1 but 2didnt count. What should I do?
