Will am I Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 So you are not in fact living together as a married couple? That opens some doors on the religious level. Because the Biblical system of marriage is a sequence of events in which where the groom leaves his parents, goes to his wife, they have a public celebration of their married state and they join and as the Bible says “become one flesh”. Your situation, perhaps legally married but still waiting for him to join you in person, that resembles the Biblical state of engagement more than it resembles an actual marriage. Dodge the bullet.

mark clemson Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 In most countries that have divorce, either partner can initiate it. It wouldn't entirely shock me if one day, once he's gotten what he feels he needs out of this "marriage" and/or figures out he really doesn't like or respect you, he initiates divorce. Generally, people who believe it's ok/normal to be cruel and disrespectful and/or vent on their partner emotionally on a regular basis don't make for very good partners.

Get an annulment as soon as possible. He is using and abusing you. You Do Not owe him a residence. This is a sham marriage which is illegal anyway. This has zero to do with religion and more to do with illegal sham marriages and a scammer.. Link to post Share on other sites

Will am I Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Your doubts are pretty severe and your lives aren't yet intertwined as you still live apart. I think you should get out before getting into more trouble. Link to post Share on other sites

Are you legally married in your country? Do not sponsor his visa/residency. That is a sham marriage and he will be deported anyway and you could face serious consequences..

You married a man that you didn’t really know and now you need to correct this mistake by getting an annulment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What is the point of marriage in the first place? I suggest going back to your reasons for getting married. What are they? Does this make sense to you? Is this the life you see for yourself?

OP, are you listening to any of this? @Wiseman2is spot on, what you're both doing is illegal. No disrespect I promise you, but in addition to seeking legal counsel and obtaining an annulment, I would also advise that you seek counseling to determine how in the world you allowed yourself to get into this mess. Marrying a man you met online from a different country and met only twice in person? A man seeking a visa? How did this not ring alarm bells?? Very loud alarm bells. I am very curious to understand what your thought process was and what motivated you to agree to this sham. In any event, good luck.
