After 6 years he said he got married because papers only!!!

Hi all, I was thinking for couple of days if I should post it here or not..
Am just so troubled and distressed :(
I have to start with saying that am Christian and that's why it's more difficult for more to choose what to do.
My husband of 6 years told me the main reason why he got married is because of papers! and he doesn't love me any more! I was so shocked! our pastor from church was just around and heard it to..
After we were on our own(pastor gone and our children in bed dd4 and dd8months) we just argued, later we talked and he said that the way I behaved and am "perfect wife" he fall in love with me and he loves me that's why when ever he say that he lives in the end change his mind and stays.
It's so many thinks that happened between us.... I was all the time "good wife" and he the one going out sometimes and sometimes looked like he lives single man live.

At this stage we don't talk at all for past week. On saturday in the morning I usually take my dd4 for he classes, go shopping and husband stays with little baby at home. In the morning I asked him If he stays with baby, he said no as he got his own thinks to do.
So I went with both kids to classes, shopping, done some activities, came home for dinner time, put kids to bed, 8pm tottaly naked sat on sofa and watch tv. My husnad left house at 9am too, came back around 8.30pm, changed his clothes, took pram out of car, so he can put children car seats in car boot and to hide "child on board" sticker.
He came back at 3am. ( I forgot to add: every time when husband drives car he takes carseat and "hides" them in car boot, he might does some "black business" which I hate but he refused that isn;t because anothe woman, also in past week he took matrace from dd room and was sleeping in living room) When he came back, he took his duvets and slept next to me! what a surprise to me!!??
Sunday morning he left house and went to his new church as he said he cant face pastor from our church after what he said out of distress on front of him. And also he must see someone about his filming in new church.(another thin my husband is doing with filming, he is so excited, i do understand that's what he likes and wants to do, but he put it before his family and doesn't care, he said that money is more important than love in family....)
All sunday morning I was cooking dinner and doing hoovering, gave lunch to kids. took them to our church. Another suprise in the end of church my husband comes to church! pastor and poeple from church prayed for him. We sat in our car, my husband called his friend which was complaining taht is stuck somewhere faraway and need money and petrol. my husband started to directing me which way to take, but I said that I will not do taxi for him and I need to take kids home first or i stop him where he likes. (it was almost 6pm).
Husband started shouting at me that he will slap me..blabla, he got off the car, bunched door and left.
Me and kids went home had dinner, husband came in in next 1 hours with takeaway dinner, had his dinner, bath, and went to sleep in dd4 room.

Now am just asking my self, we don't talk, he hates me, he is nice with children, he plays with them 5 min a day! am on my own, no help from no one. Running business from home, taking care of girls. is this marriage worthy, is it worthy to pray for my husband after all???

I can't eat, sleep am so much distressed in past 1 month I lost more than 1 stone..

why way I want that he hugs me and apology and everything will be ok again, but another hand I want him go :(

I agree with the others the language used in the posts are odd for someone native to the UK that was why I asked what country they were from, it is beyond dyslexia (which i myself have) there is something that shouts out that English is not the first language. It was pointed out by someone that the thread may have been started by the husband rather than the wife, interesting....

MoralDefective · 16/11/2010 00:18

Very odd Hmm

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 16/11/2010 00:29

OP is not from Britain even if English is their first language there are too many stylistic differences. This seems odd given the earlier answer to where they are from. Something doesn't add up here. Confused

MoralDefective · 16/11/2010 00:34

Some of the language is very English
'ooops,yes i was resting!not naked!'

I smell a rat.

PocketMouse · 16/11/2010 00:36

OP, I'm sorry, but I do not believe that you are white British.

The only reason I mention this is because you claim to be white British and that your African husband has only married you for papers.

Ignoring any cultural/religious reference, he's being a dick.

If you don't love him, then leave him. Irrelevant as to papers/anything else. If it's not working, then don't be with him.

TechLovingDad · 16/11/2010 02:31

So he's using your devotion to your christian beliefs to basically treat you like shit. Well, that's not very christian of him, is it?

Praying won't work, it might make you feel better but won't have any effect on him. HE has free will so will behave the way he wants. The way he wants is to treat you like shit.

You can't say he is doing something illegal and then say you don't know what itis. How would you know if it's illegal?

What would jesus do? He'd kick this guy in the nuts.

Vbusymum · 16/11/2010 10:34

thanks all for respond
I do have family and friend around to support me...is just sometimes ..my husband put money all his activities first and when he is stressed, he explodes with very bad anger around.
He doesn't do any drugs lol,

and since yesterday he really changed and wants this marriage to work. Prayer definitely works. It work for me and my family many times.

If you're white British I am Japanese.

Mummiehunnie · 16/11/2010 11:16

vbusymum, I wish you well if you are genuine, I suspect not!

TheFeministParent · 16/11/2010 11:19

I'm thinking from the English that you are Nigerian.

Vbusymum · 16/11/2010 11:37

the reason I poste here, was to get it out of me, all stressed..etc
Isn't about where am or whoever is from!

English isn't my first languege and I know that am not from Nigeria!
Why am even taking time to explain..is worthless..with some people here

OP posts:
TheFeministParent · 16/11/2010 11:40

You said you were white British....

Being a Christian is nothing to do with any of this, you have been used and the only thing you should do (being moral and law abiding) is to report this man for conning you into marriage.

Vbusymum · 16/11/2010 11:43

yes am "white British", but I lived in European country for 15y.

OP posts:
TheFeministParent · 16/11/2010 11:45

And now you're sixteen?

How long have you lived in Britain and when did you become British?

Vbusymum · 16/11/2010 11:49

I really don't feel like to talk about my private thinks.Say am around 30y
Sorry, but not every one living in UK is "british".

OP posts:
Sakura · 16/11/2010 11:53

but why did you say you were British?

If he's married you for the papers, it implies that he wants your British nationality, which I presume is the problem here. Or does he want a visa to your country of origin?

I've lived in Japan for 6 years but I wouldn't tell a forum full of Japanese people that I was japanese

Mummiehunnie · 16/11/2010 12:01

Vbusymum, you said you were white british, that is a lie, you say you are religious yet you lie. I totally get you don't want to divulge all your personal details, instead of lieing, could you have explained you are eastern european? you say you are around 30 and lived abroad for 15 years, there is no way someone who lived in Britain for 15 ish years would have the command you have of English, I think you are tellikng us lies again, this is not helping us to help you, please be honnest and tell the truth, you are looking like a troll here and if you are not one it is a shame for you!

Sakura · 16/11/2010 12:04

HOw did you know she was Eastern European?

TheFeministParent · 16/11/2010 12:06

I think that's an assumption!!

GypsyMoth · 16/11/2010 13:37

Maybe from previous posts, who knows?

This is all very strange......and you suddenly say from yesterday everything is now alright and he's changed and it's all good!??!

Why are you covering for him??!

I am torn between being very scared for the OP and thinking the OP is on fact the husband.

Mummiehunnie · 16/11/2010 14:16

ooops mis read european in her post!

MoralDefective · 16/11/2010 14:18

You don't want to talk about your private thinks yet you post all this stuff?
Agree with Mummiehunnie.

ChavKidston · 16/11/2010 14:26

OP, if this is genuine then I wish you all the luck in the world.

However, your lies do not sit well. I may well be over cynical but I have a sneaking suspiscion that neither the OP or husband are real and this could be the initial stages of a scam.

Sorry if thats not the case but there are way too many inconsistances for me.
