Feeling lost

For context, I met my husband through a matrimony app and we have been married for 3 years now and have a 5 month old. I was really happy to start my new life with him. However, things started to go downhill immediately after our marriage.

  1. He used to make fun of me in front of his family.
    It has reduced now.
  2. He used to CONSTANTLY criticise me. This pushed me to depression and I had to start medication for it.
  3. He was never interested in foreplay. He wanted to just climax but I used to be dry because of which it used to hurt. He used to get frustrated. Eventually, a few months into our marriage, he stopped initiating it completely. In the first year of our marriage, we did not have proper sex and at a point, went without it for 6 months straight.
  4. Luckily, I got pregnant in a once in blue moon attempt. He was happy at first (or so he seemed) but never went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable.
  5. I had some complications in my pregnancy and my Doctor wanted me to choose between normal delivery or C sec. I was really scared and confused at the time and instead of being gentle with me, he gave me a lecture.
  6. Even now, knowing I’m craving for his love and affection, he withholds himself from displaying it completely. No hugs, no kisses, no touches.
    I literally have to beg him for affection.
  7. He snaps out of nowhere at me.
    The list goes on..
    I am lost and not sure how to navigate this. We had sex after our child the first time after which I thought sex would get better but he withheld his intimacy from me knowing I was craving for me for days.
    I feel so lost and not sure how to navigate this isolation.
