A gift for my husband

Salam. I’m currently traveling and visiting my family and my husband is visiting his. His birthday is coming up and I wanted to get him something for his birthday. I plan on getting him a basque cheesecake. I was going to get him a cologne and tried figuring it out sneakily but basically he said he rly didn’t want any bc he had a lot. Now I’m stuck. I would get him a watch but he wears expensive watches and my budget is 100 usd.
He talked about needing to get more into self care and so I was thinking of doing sth w that but is that rly a birthday gift? He’s v picky w clothes n shoes so I don’t want to get those.
So far I have beard oil, beard balm, n moisturizer. Is that ok?

Husband refuses to have separate accommodation

We’ve only been married for 7 months. Before we got married I wanted to emphasize I would never stay with his family both visiting n living bc I will never be comfortable n I’ve never had to do that.
We live in Canada but we came to the uae to go to hajj and we’ve been staying here after. We agreed that we’d go to a hotel after hajj but the two days before we’d stay with his family, assuming his brother wasn’t there so I didn’t have to wear the hijab. His brother came and we stayed anyway.
After hajj we ended up stay here for 1.5 weeks bc my husband refused to book n we had a deal where while I was on my period we could stay here but we’d leave after. But throughout this whole time, he’s been fighting with me telling me I’m weird for not wanting to stay with them. I keep telling him this makes me uncomfortable n everything bc now his mom is too comfortable w me that she has no problem barging in the room and waking me up for stupid stuff and monitoring what I’m eating. She tells me not to eat sweets but it’s none of her business at all.
Tried talking to her abt it but yk she tells me I need to be more caring for her son.
He fights w me about this sm and says he’s never going to bring me along w him but like dude at this point I don’t want to be w u.
We’ve had so many issues of him being inconsiderate and rly mean to me to the point where we talked abt how divorce has been on our minds. I’ve been trying to work out stuff but like this is rly my last straw. Like the disrespectful and fighting is one thing but this threat of leaving me just bc I don’t want to stay in a cramped house with his whole family where I have to be fully dressed just to go out n get water?
Like divorce has seriously been on my mind bc he refuses to do counseling, refuses to see me n my feelings, like im not dealing with this.
And before anyone says I don’t want to visit his family, I do i literally told him we can visit his family from the moment we wake up til we sleep, I just want to sleep somewhere else so I can relax n be more comfortable. Money isn’t an issue, he has money but he’s refusing to pay for hotel. I enjoy his family but like I’m rly burnt out.
I’m seriously so done with him. I don’t want to be with him I feel no love for him. I’m seriously done. If I could go back in time n not marry him I would. I hate him. And this is seriously the last thing I can deal with.

I’m really struggling. I wear the hijab but the last few months have been really getting to me. Every time I wear the hijab or the abaya I just get so annoyed. Like every time I put on her job I look like a freaking moon. My face looks so round and then every time I wear the abaya It’s like a constant struggle to even just use the bathroom or having to make wudu in public. It’s exhausting. I’m so over it. I can’t even just sit in chairs like how you normally would. It’s like if I slide then the fabric slides with it and it’s like the most uncomfortable feeling or how like every time I sit on a chair and I want to go to push my chair in but I always get stuck and so I end up doing like the most awkward standing and sitting. I know the hijab isn’t for me it’s for Allah and I’m not going to take it off inshallah but it’s just so hard. I don’t wear makeup or show like any hair w my hijab or even my neck or things that would normally make it prettier. I feel so ugly.
I recently got married and I put on a few pounds and it’s definitely showing. But I can’t seem to bring it down. I’m just rly struggling.
