[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's controlling and emotionally abusive. Do you have family and/or friends in the area?[/quote]

No. I have absolutely no one here. It's also not easy to make friends here because the majority of the population where I live isn't American. We live in the US but it feels like another country. It's all immigrants. [/quote]
DP.. I was with you until this statement. Why can't you make friends with immigrants?

Get a job. Maybe you will get to know more immigrants and become friends with them.

I'm thinking your husband feels that since you aren't working at all, you don't get to have any money spent on non essentials.  That's controlling, but, I have to say, your statement  above turned me off, and I probably wouldn't be friends with you either.

You need the internet.  Your husband sounds controlling and there are some pretty big red flags you need to address if he refuses to pay for internet.

If you don't like the area you are living in perhaps you need to move.  I'm not sure why you can't make friends with immigrants, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume they speak in other languages and you find it hard to connect.  If it's because you don't like immigrants then that's extremely off putting to me.

I think you really need to think hard about where you want your life to go.  Is your husband caring at all?  If you have a child and need to look up doctors phone numbers or even just other child caring related matters like tips for better sleeping, you can't be walking down to the lobby whilst your child is sleeping.  This isn't going to work.[/quote]

Op here. Yes we're truly in another world. Most of the moms work and have grandparents take care of the children during the day so it's hard to connect with other moms. The grandparents/ nannies do not speak English well. I have lived in many cities. This one is truly very different. Traffic is horrible so people stay in our gated communities most of the time. I will look for meetup groups. I think there will be more Americans in another part of the city but it's about 40 minutes away. [/quote]

Could be El Paso - the East side of the city is heavily Hispanic. The people are really nice, but they have their families as part of their social life.  The Western side of El Paso is also heavily Hispanic, but also where most of the white population lives.  It could easily take 40 minutes to get from one side to the other. 
You have to be a troll. What area with a 40min radius is so heavily populated with only immigrants?
