Setting boundaries with husband and expecting acceptance

I feel my husband doesn’t trust me to allow me a break and I shouldn’t be with him. I’ve never cheated on him during our relationship and even gave up talking to friends (including my best friend) to please him. But the more I give up, the more he wants out of me. I also feel that I shouldn’t have to tolerate and accept his behavior, and the kids shouldn’t have to see that.

My husband does everything for his brother’s wife

am starting to feel like his sister-in-law doesn’t respect our marriage and she feels it’s ok to have my husband out at 1 am with her kids and her doing grocery shopping while I am alone at home and her husband is at his business which is open 24 hours. I don’t understand why she would not tell my husband it’s ok that she can do groceries with her husband the following day?

I’m fed up with my husband’s unemployment and abusive family

Salam,
I’m a 30-year-old woman with a 2-year-old child and inshallah 1 on the way. I’ve been married for almost 3 years now and living with my in-laws.
My husband worked in the first year and then stopped working due to a lack of work from his employers. He never bothered and tried to look for work after that. My father-in-law sold his business and gambled most of the money. So they were also left with no income.
