My husband treats me badly

It may be because of our age difference but now he blames me for anything that goes wrong at home. He behaves in an arrogant way and utters hurtful words. I'm extremely annoyed with him. He was not like this before. I have been married for a year. What do I do?

Dear Zabeen,
You say that you have been married for a year now. Looks like your hubby is showing his true colours. Having a young wife is his way of having an advantage over you due to which your relationship is getting unbalanced. Simply because he is older, he feels he knows more. Your guy settled for you even though you are a decade younger because he could call the shots. Initially he was nice because the marriage was still new. If you are not happy with him, tell him so frankly. It is better to sort out differences now than regret a lifetime.u00a0
