If you don't want to live with your husband can approach to the court by filing a divorce petition. After satisfying the judge , he will sign on first motion divorce and after six month second motion. When the second motion divorce takes place you both are free to remarry with some other person. As far as the physical relationship, you have every right over body and soul. No court can compel you to sleep with that man whom you don't want to. Don't. Worry. All the best for your case.
