It should be your own decision whether to continue with the marriage or to go for divorce, you have to take the decision and accept the responsibility for the same. If you want to give one more chance to the marriage then you both need councelling. Go to some professional marriage councellor or thru some mature and wise friend/relative who can give some understanding to your husband and in-laws. Also try to introspect about your own behaviour and work upon yourself if you feel necessary.. As far as money is concerned, then both of you can sit and discuss how to share the household expenses as you both are earning. If you feel you cannot put up with your husband anymore then, you have the legal option of divorce.

Dear,

I feel that you should teach your husband a lesson while staying together, show him that you cannot be taken for granted and if I does not work your way then you always have a divorce option.
