My heads going to explode I need a fresh viewpoint on this

r/

For context I’m M27 married to F22. We had an arranged marriage and are in a long distance relationship . The first 6 months we talked on the phone for hours and I fell in love with her . After that overtime things got stranger . I use to send her memes and reels on insta and we both come from a conservative culture but we had some frank discussions. Fast forward she started college ( she was 19 and I was 24) . Her behaviour started to change she would avoid replying to my texts for days and make up excuses not to call. She once said that since we were only engaged she didn’t really feel that comfortable to talk . I was bummed but said fine so we texted . She took offense to a meme that I sent and we didn’t talk for a month . I found out through someone that she made plans with a mutual acquaintance of ours to go with him to a concert. This was shocking cause she said she was really conservative and didn’t want to talk to me until marriage but was willing to go with him. Through her mom I requested that she call me and we talked for a bit but I didn’t bring up that I knew about the concert . For the next 5 months I use to send her like 15 texts and would get 1 back days later almost no calls . I felt humiliated but didn’t know what to do. One day I called her and said I want to end things cause I feel like somethings wrong and I deserve better . She cried and said she’s just busy with her studies in college and that’s why she hadn’t called. It was honestly weird for me the reasons she was giving but in my heart I was afraid to end it. I brought up the concert and she said that it was never a serious plan just something that they said but weren’t going to do. She knew I didn’t like that guy but she defended him that he’s not bad . She didn’t give me any clear answers and said she wanted to talk to her parents . Her parents then called and said everything fine nothings the issue . After that her behavior improved and we saw each other about a month later for the first time since our engagement . It was fun and about 2 weeks later she left to go back home. For the first 2 weeks everything seemed fine but then she started doing the same thing , ignoring texts not calling not communicating . After a couple of months I confronted her on text and we had a fight I told my parents about it and it became a huge thing . Initially I wanted to end things but i thought I was overreacting so I backed down. My parents and her parents also thought we should still get married and her parents just said our daughters shy , she wants to get married there’s no issue. We decided not to talk for a few months until our wedding. Fast forward we got married 4 months later . I was happy and hopeful everything will be fine. She was to stay at my house for 2 weeks then fly back home with her family . Her behaviour during those 2 weeks was all over the place . Sometimes she would be nice and affectionate sometimes she would insult my physical appearance to the point that it shattered all my confidence. She would be indifferent and aloof on her phone watching TikTok or texting. She just said that’s how my personality is. She was on her phone constantly but she use to ignore my texts back when she was in another country on purpose , that realisation stung. When it was time for her to go we both were emotional and shed a few tears . After the wedding we talking only once on the phone. Now she had told me her friends use to tell her that she can do so much better and that hurt me cause she didn’t defend me infront of them . I use to text her if I should call or not but my mom said that I should just call. So I called her she didn’t answer and would say can’t talk, at that time she was with her friends so it almost felt like she was ashamed of me. I got mad initially but now I’m indifferent. I did text her mom and said that if she cared she would take time out to call or text . Her parents and younger sibling call and text me a lot but she doesn’t . Her parents mostly do it to make sure I don’t end the relationship or something like that but I’m tired of this . In a month we are going to be living together permanently and honestly that though gives me anxiety . She even asked me for a divorce literally a week after our marriage but I just thought it was her being immature and talked her out of it. Her future plans involve no kids ( I want kids, she was okay with kids before but now she isn’t) , she just wants to get a job. I’ve never said she shouldn’t work , I’ve always encouraged her but she seems to think that either family or a career . Her behavior and thought process is perplexing. I feel like she wants me to end the relationship so she isn’t the villain infront of her parents . What should I do?

    That must be a really difficult situation to be in, you need to have a clear n honest conversation with her regarding your expectations for each other in your relationship and also emphasise how important communication is to her and how much she hurt you with how she has been treating u with how distant shes been. dont let the problem get worse than it already is and go have a serious discussion about one another before continuing on with anything
