Salaam brothers and sisters, this is my first post and I require some essential Islamic advice.
I'm a middle aged muslim in a wheelchair living in USA. Severely disabled and require round the clock care. My family arranged a marriage for me few years ago from Bangladesh. It was a poor family and in return they would be helped our by money from our end.
She came over within a few months, and after some initial problems, everything was fine. Then we had a some disagreement with my side if the family and we moved out. We then had a son who is now 6.
We have been living together happily. She cares for me and I sort her family out. Every year or so she travels to Bangladesh to stay with her parents. With our kid but not me as its difficult for me to travel. So I hire in help to care for me.
The other day I recorded her talking in secret on phone, with a man from back in Bangladesh. I've had some worries so I thought of doing this. Now I rue that I did.
Initially she cried because he hadn't answered her calls ford few days. But what I made out of the call is this. They've known each other since being kids. They wanted to marry but parents disallowed. Now both married with kids. But they meet up once a year for few weeks. They seem very much in love and want to be together. But they can't. She told him wait a few years and she will bring him over. They then started talking in adult sex way.
After this, rather than confronting her, I asked her if she was happy with me or not. Because it would be difficult for her to live and care for someone disabled. I offered her a way out. I said that I would be willing to divorce her so she could marry someone else and have a happy life. I will also help in getting that person over here. In return I ask for access to my child as often as I want. She said no. Started crying and said please don't leave me. I have no one. I then told her if she wants to stay with me she can never ever go to Bangladesh again. After a little difficulty, she agreed to that.
Now I'm in a conundrum. I know she is in live with someone else, and me keeping two of them apart is a sin, but I can't let then live in sin by meeting up with each other every so often. I would want her to be with me but not unhappy. And her saying she won't go back home isn't really feasible. As she will have to if someone passes away etc.
The second thing is the betrayal. I offer her everything yet she has been doing this. I can't bring myself around to forgiving her. I've tried but I stay abnormal and she wants to know why. Why I'm worried and thinking of stuff. She has been meeting my care, washing and cleaning me. Which is more than a wife does. I feel sorry for not being happy with her.
Please some good advice is required as I don't think I can handle this much longer.
