What should a wife do who feels emotional and physical neglect from her husband, who changed after moving to a foreign country, and whose behavior she has come to suspect, despite his positive qualities as a father and provider, especially given her feeling of alienation both in her home and in this foreign land?

It is recommended to supplicate and implore Allah to resolve marital problems, to utilize the positive aspects of the husband's personality to draw closer to him, and for the wife to pay attention to her personal appearance.
If the husband abandons the marital bed without a legitimate Shariah reason, this is not permissible. The husband must engage in marital relations with his wife in a befitting manner.
It is also preferable to consult the counseling section of the website to benefit from similar cases, and to be keen on gently advising the husband regarding maintaining prayer and reciting the Qur'an.
