I echo Ange and Anonymousse and think you rushed into this marriage without truly knowing your husband and what you were signing up for with him and his family. It’s not normal or healthy to have regular knock-out-drag-out fights with your spouse in general, let alone in the newlywed stage. PLEASE do not bring children into this. You two are not functioning healthy as a married couple WITHOUT kids, and they are not known to make things *easier* and less stressful on a marriage.

I think you should consider a trial separation with your husband while you clear your head and get some perspective. If you can afford it, therapy would be a great option for you to help process this experience and figure out a plan forward that best supports your well-being.
