Should I be patient with my husband who broke his promises after marriage, refuses to spend on us, evades his responsibilities towards me and my children, and threatens to divorce me, knowing that I love him and fear repeating the experience of divorce and its impact on my children and my reputation, or should I ask for a separation from him?

If the husband does not treat his wife kindly, then she must weigh the harm of divorce against the harm of remaining in that situation, and choose the lesser of the two harms.
