how to leave?

[en2012]

Assalmau ALaikum everyone, I am recently married to a Muslim Sunni. very religious, and I want to leave, but I dont know how. I am convert, yet have no family, and I told him I am no longer Muslim, but he refuses that denounce Islam. He makes me cover, he doesnt allow me to even step out of my home. walahi, I want to go.
I am sorry if I offend anyone. I am just seeking advice thats all. please do not judge me.

Well since he doesn't want you to leave the home, that probably means you don't have a job.

My suggestion is to contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline. While they probably don't have experience dealing with Muslims or ex-Muslims, they can help you come up with a plan to leave your husband and find safety and shelter.

Here is there phone number:

1−800−799−SAFE(7233)

There website:

My only suggestion is leave. If you don't your problems will only get worse.

Get out while you can before your part of an inconvenient statistic. Your life, health and spirit will never be respected and revered by your husband as it should be, simply because your of non-muslim origin. The koran not only teaches hatred against unbeliever too the point of dehumanization, but also tells no unbeliever can become an actual muslim. I hope you get out as soon as you can, and you won't allow any excuses too hold yourself back.

It won't get better, it will only get worse, no matter how nice he will be at moments he doesn't want too lose you. Remember he doesn't want too lose face, that is all. Resenment against you will grow.
