Thank you susan for your kind advice and tme and your very right. I'm going away for the weekend so his fam is going to talk to him about our situation and you know his fam tolld them that you shouldn't say aing to her Cuz ur not innocent urself. And well he's very mad and he says that him and that girl are over he hasn't called or texted her nd neither has she!! Nd well I don't know the real truth but I just wantt him to realize his mistakes. I can not believe thhis happened. We were madly in love before marriage and during the first month for the most part but now things are just bad!!! I'm willing to forgive and forget but nothing. I blame myself for everything because he's a good guy a bit undecicive but good guy. I can't imagine life w out him.

I am so sorry. This happens in all types of marriages, whether they are arranged or not.
What are your options? If you and your husband are fighting, and not resolving issues, are you able to seek marital therapy/counseling for this? If you and/or your husband are not sexually attracted to each other, can you seek marital therapy for this as well? Sometimes working on the non-sexual issues can help strengthen your love (or like) toward each other, and help rekindle some physical intimacy.
What are the cultural norms for arranged marriages, as I would assume this happens frequently.
Did you two also choose each other, or did you marry each other "sight unseen"? Were you able to get to know each other first?
What are your options if you are in an arranged marriage, and one of you does not find the other sexually attractive, or realizes this is not a good match (emotionally, mentally, physically). What options do you have culturally, in your family's belief system, as well as your own well-being?
It is no one's fault, of course, as couples who DO choose each other without pre-arrangement, date and are physically intimate for years before marriage, can also realize that they are not a good match. These couples have many options, including: working things out through counseling, choosing to stay in a marriage without physical intimacy, separation or divorce, or any other myriad options.
What are your thoughts?

I am so sorry!
First of all, this has absolutely nothing to do with you or your body. Second, he began the marriage in a lie, and sounds like he is continuing to be deceitful (avoiding important issues by using an excuse of being angry and walking away is deceitful and harmful to a relationship).
He was deceitful in marrying you, while still in a previous relationship. You have not mentioned if you love him, but I am wondering if an annulment is OK as an option, as did you marry him without knowing that he was seeing another woman? He can not legally marry you under false pretenses, correct? (We will have to look up this information to confirm).
If you do love him, and want this to work, he would need to try. He sounds like he refused to try, and is being emotionally abusive. Telling you that you are bothering him, when you are doing his laundry and asking to go out is not "bothering" someone, and he needs to abruptly stop the verbal abuse. I would highly suggest seeking counseling for yourself, as his verbal abuse can intensify.
Please let us know what we can do to help.

i agree with what you have to say. i really do love him because i know hes not a bad person deep down. its just hes being someone whom i dont know. i believe we can work it out but he says hes trying but he gives up fast. last night was a huge fight because he read a text of mine to a friend in which i wrote that im n ot happpy because he treats me like crap and etc, and my friend responded that its wrong for him to not like me because of the physicalness. but i feel there are alot of underlying issues hes not telling me or willing to communicate so yesterday he told me its done. all over. im devasted. i dont even know what an anullment is? i personallly just want him to open up to me and just forget the past and start fresh but it almost seems as if hes looking for reasons to get rid of me and yesterday he found one. cuz i texted my guy cousin about him and hes like how could you tell a 3rd party our problems and now i know how you really feeel about me and etc so its over. im so devasted right now. cant think straight.
