Hi Anonymous,
I'm sorry you have been going through this. Am I to understand that for the duration of your 4 1/2 year marriage you haven't had sex with your husband? Have you ever asked your husband why he married you? Do you think the way he is treating you is healthy? Do you think he would ever consider marital counseling? Do you work for a living? Do you have health insurance? Sorry to ask so many questions. I don't want to scare you away.
I understand how this all may be difficult for you. Your husband's unrealistic expectations no doubt have impacted you. You may want to ask your doctor about referring you to a therapist. Emotional abuse can be helped, and step-by-step, you can get through this. Here is information about getting help and protecting yourself: National Coalition Against Domestic Violence
Do you have friends or family close by that you could lean on if you decided to leave your husband? Would you want to investigate ways to set yourself up to be more independent?
Take care of yourself, and let us know if you need further help to find resources, or if you need support.
