If you don't want to live your life a victim, the only advice anyone here can give you is to LEAVE.

He will not just stop because you become more submissive. If anything he may just feel more smugly secure that he has you under his thumb. Like many victims of abuse, you blame yourself ....but it's not you, no, this isn't a misunderstanding or argument where you could be more polite or understanding, this is just abuse, and you did nothing to deserve to live in fear of your husband's sexual assault and violence.
Your husband could very well be a sociopath. While psychopaths may be erratic, impulsive and show shocking low empathy, a sociopath can actually be very controlled, scheming, charming and have a "nice" public persona if they have the IQ and education to allow such a facade. Sociopaths run major corporations and organized crime, they are not loving supportive people just because they have a well developed public persona or because they can charm strangers and acquaintences.
Your husband groomed you to be his conquest basically. He was never your best friend, he was luring you into his trap until he had you, and after he had you, he abused you. That's why I now always warn people to be very careful with a person who sweeps you off your feet, seems too good to be true, or to avoid marrying too fast. ...because while normal people may also do silly romantic things, it also leaves a huge door for abusers of various kinds to walk through. Real love develops over time.

To begin with, I'm not sure if any of the individuals on this forum can diagnose your husband successfully. His form of sexual deviance without consent could make him symptomatic of many things, including Anti Social Personality Disorder, Sexual Sadism Disorder (a paraphilia or intense and harmful sexual deviance), and these disordered forms of thinking could be mixed with narcissistic tendencies, or other more uncatalogued forms of thought. I am not a psychologist- I am not trained to diagnose people based on their actions. And even if I was a psychologist, I could not correctly diagnose your husband without meeting him for a face-to-face discussion, having him complete an accredited survey and reviewing it, or using any other psychologically accepted fro of diagnosis. Unfortunately, reading his abhorrent behavior in an internet post from his wife doesn't really count. So, I'm sorry but I am not the one who can tell you what your husband is specifically sick with.
I can however tell you that what he is doing to you is no way acceptable in any way shape or form. What he is doing to you is not consensual. He does not care what you think of the situation. He does not care that you are afraid of him. He does not care that many things he has done sexually has violated your boundaries. In fact, he might even enjoy the fact that you remain in this situation despite the fact that you do not appear to consent to it: He might enjoy being able to control you so easily. As many others have stated, I believe that regardless of what specific diagnosis your husband has, he is an abuser. You are in an abusive relationship just-tonight. Your best option, despite the fact that you might enjoy your husband in nonsexual contexts, is to leave. Again, I'm sorry to have to say this, but I do not think there is any hope of "fixing" your husband if he does not want to be sick. As a frequent poster on the BDSM area of this forum, I also feel almost obligated to point out that what your husband is doing is not BDSM. BDSM is based around the idea of consent. You have not consented to your husband's actions and they should not be happening. And I'm sorry that they are happening and will most likely continue to happen.
just-tonight, you seem to believe that there is a way to "save" your husband. That you are going to somehow be able to bring back the incarnation of your husband that was your "best friend" that served as your support while you were in the United States- the man that you fell in love with. Unfortunately, I do not think that is possible. Your husband is an abuser, and abusers manipulate those they abuse in order to force or coerce them into staying in the relationship. Because it is obvious to me when reading through your posts that you have been so manipulated and coerced. You do not want to stay in this relationship, but you are looking for reasons to do so. You know that your husband is mistreating you currently, but he was so polite and nice beforehand. You know that you are afraid of your husband, but have the desire to stay with him out of obligation. You know that he is hurting you and damaging you, but you think you can fix him. Are you noticing a pattern just-tonight? You know... but... Unfortunately, this is the pattern of a person who has been abused and manipulated. So, let's break this pattern down into its two component parts: What you know, and then what you think mitigates that and makes you want to stay: The "you know" and the "but".
You know your husband is mistreating you currently. You know that you are afraid of your husband. You know that he is hurting you and damaging you.
But, your husband was so polite and nice before you were married. But you want to stay with him because you feel obligated to do so. But, maybe- just maybe- you can fix him and things will go back to the way they used to be.
Have yo noticed something else just-tonight? Because I have. The statements that begin with what you know are focused around your current situation. These are the facts- this is what is currently happening to you and has been happening since you made your first post on this forum over a year ago. These are why everyone, including your psychiatrist friend, is telling you to leave this relationship. Because the statements that begin with "you know" are all that we care about- they are all that we see is true. The statements that begin with "but" on the other-hand are focused around the past. They are not what is currently happening to you and are instead centered around how great things were previously. You want to stay because he WAS so nice. You feel a sense of obligation to him because of how he USED to act and how LONG you have been dating him. You want to bring things BACK to the way they USED to be by fixing him. Even though you have been abused, manipulated, coerced, etc. it is clear to me just-tonight that you haven't taken too well to his programming. Even in this state you cannot admit that your current relationship is what you want it to be, so you focus on the past. Is this a potential defense mechanism to prevent you from realizing what is actually happening to you? Perhaps, it is certainly a distinct possibility. Is this form of coping healthy in any way, shape, or form? Not in the slightest. You should not stay with an abusive, manipulative, and coercive partners based on what previously happened in your relationship. Just because the United Stated was nice to some Native American tribes during the Revolutionary War does not mean those same tribes should trust the United States after they had frequently violated treaties in the 1800s. You cannot base a relationship on past glories and have the relationship be successful. Additionally, and I really hate to bring this point up, you might even have to question if your husband was ever "well" in the first place. What if all the fun times you remember and his good behavior towards you was an act? What if it all was all part of his game to control and abuse you? It's possible just-tonight. However much neither one of us want to think it is.
The point I want to make just-tonight, is that your reasons for staying are not based in the present and they are not based on facts. The reasons you should leave are based in the present and are based on facts. Logically speaking, it should be an easy decision- but it's not. Relationships are not logical. Emotions belie logic and occlude its true purpose and meaning. As snaga2.0 says, all we can do on this forum is to advise you to leave your relationship. We can give your resources to help you leave Mumbai and return to the United States (or Finland, or any other country you have citizenship to or a visa for) We can post long flowing speeches that appeal to your logic, your emotions, or even our own credibility in order to convince you to leave. We can do all of this, but in reality we can do nothing to actually change your situation. We cannot force you to leave your relationship. We cannot make your husband let you go. We cannot stop him from abusing you. The only person who has the power to leave here is you just-tonight. I know it might be scary, I know that you care for your husband based on the past but please look at the present as well. Only you can do something about this just-tonight: Only you can make it stop. Medication is not going to help you without a proper diagnosis and without therapy. All the advice in the world is not going to help you if you do not do something. So please just-tonight. From the bottom of my heart, I am begging you to do something one way or another. Go to an embassy- sneak out if you have to. Use the links snaga2.0 has posted- most computer have a way to hide your browsing history through an "incognito" or "in-private" browser so you can use that if you're worried your husband might check the internet history. I echo tallis' sentiment: The longer this goes on, the harder it is going to be to leave. It is never going to be any easier than it is the first time you read this post just-tonight. The longer you stay the more you are going to be manipulated, coerced, and abused. Absolutely nothing your husband is doing to you is acceptable in my mind just-tonight, but my mind doesn't matter. Yours does. So, have you made your mind up yet just-tonight?
Best of luck, and best wishes for the future, and deepest condolences for what you have been through,
-MJH

"...to be honest i never did anything with any other guy but that time i was planning on doing so".
Oy. That changes perspective. Just sayin'.
realityhere wrote:As the forum rules have said, nobody can diagnose a member on the forum, one can only hazard a guess based on a member's info in a post. You have asked what is your husband's mental illness, so it only goes to serve others to ask why and what drives you to remain with an abusive and dominant partner. You have given ample amount of info regarding your husband, but nothing really about yourself.
Your near compulsion to wanting an affair with a friend in Finland and almost going thru with it bespeaks to something in your background and past. Something like defiance within your marriage, despite the fact that it is abusive to begin with. Something to do with hoping to trigger jealousy in your husband to see how much he "values" (loves) you?
NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) and BPD (borderline personality disorder) relationships are very common, each attracts the other for their own purposes. Each plays the other.
I could be all wrong or all right, but you haven't revealed much about yourself to make me think you really are the all-innocent victim here.
