Please forgive me if I'm making a sterotypical observation, but I'm taking a stab in the dark here, but it sounds like your husband isn't an American. I know in many cultures, men believe their wives are their possessions, and this is what it sounds like to me. It also sounds like it because he spit on you. That's just not the first thing most people in the US think to do.

I would suggest marriage counseling, as well, and if you DO believe in a particular faith, perhaps you can speak to the person in charge of your "church" - pastor, rabbi, etc.
