My mom would be worried sick if she even gets a whiff of whats happening.
YES, I would involve his family given that they arranged the marriage and in your culture younger folks are supposed to defer to their elders in bad situations like this.

But in S. Asian culture, isn't there a tricky dynamic between the daughter-in-law and the husband's parents? That may not be the best route. Correct me if I'm wrong, OP, but isn't there a tendency to fawn over the son, and find fault with the daughter-in-law, or have high expectations of her? Those in-law relationships can be a bit tense.

He didnt respond. he is still not talking to me but I think he will come around.
You're very diplomatic! And you sound fairly westernized (more than he does) and sensible. I hope you can work this out. He's lucky to have you!
