How Should I Handle Marriage To A Difficult Man?

As a starting point, it would seem to me that you need to discern your husband’s spiritual state. He is either an unbeliever by his own profession, an unbeliever who falsely professes faith in Christ, or a believer who is willfully disobedient to our Lord. The difference is important because determining which category your husband is in helps you to determine the way you are to respond to him.
