My husband agreed to having multiple sexual partners before marriage, he verbally accepted it I don't have it in written and this declaration disturbs me emotionally, he ignores me and continuously fights with me when I don't go according to his wishes, he even tried to make me leave my job so I don't go out, I was very unwell on one occasion and I went to my parents house for medical help, he did not even bother visiting me or ask how I was doing instead went to brother to complain about me, all this has caused a lot of mental stress to me and I was diagnosed with Thyroid, since a year we have been living separately and not in touch, on what all grounds can I file for divorce? please advice..
