Hi Mala,
What a tough thing you are going through. I'm sorry for that. You say you have been married only a short time. Why did you marry your husband? You say you love him, but then describe how mean he is to you, and says you are not attractive. I agree with anonymous, that your friends love you and are wanting to protect you. You do not deserve to be made to feel how you are feeling. You know how it is said that when someone is picking you apart, it is a manifestation of their own self loathing? I'm not a therapist, but I would try to recognize your husband's actions for what it is. If you truly love him, do you think marriage counseling would help? Have you read any self-help books? I found one on Amazon called "Toxic People" by Dr. Lillian Glass, PhD. Maybe your library has it. Your doctor may be able to suggest a therapist. I recently wrote an article about Marriage Counseling: https://www.empowher.com/sex-amp-relationships/content/marriage-counseling-advocacy-sheet
