Bismihi ta'ala

If your husband pursues extra-marital affairs, either in the halal way (mut'ah or seeking a second wife), then you have the choice of either staying with him, or getting divorced from him. 

Of course, such issues must be directly addressed, and his and your family be involved as well. 

Your husband might be going through a phase, and needs a wakeup call for him to return back and focus on his marriage. If so, forgive him, and try to strengthen the relationship.

However, if after intervention he still pursues the new relationship, then you decide what you wish to do. To divorce him, or continue to live with him. Just know that you are not obliged to live under such circumstances. 

Also, this short clip could be of benefit as well:

1. Abortion is forbidden. A child is a human with a right to life regardless of how it is conceived. However, some scholars allow abortion in this situation if keeping the child is psychologically or personally traumatic. It is certainly not a requirement to abort the child.

2. "No man may marry her after that" - who said that? Yes, some people have some backwards ideas about virginity or purity or marrying a woman with kids, but these ideas are from people, not Islam. If the woman wishes to marry, inshallah she will find the right husband. Maybe she would not want to be married to someone who thinks in a wrong way. 

Allah is merciful and just. It would not be merciful or just for Allah to punish the victim in this situation by forcing more consequences on her after the first trauma.

If she has fulfilled her duty in Hijab, she will not then responsible but the man who looks at her with lust will be responsible of his evil thoughts. Men must avoid looking with lust to females especially who have done their full Hijab.

Thank you for your question. The truth is that you can never fully know. Marriage means sharing a life path and many times that path has many unforeseen twists and turns. You won't be the same person 10 years from now and neither will your spouse. In all honesty we just make an educated guess, a leap of faith, we stack our chips and put the rest in Allah's hands. The reasons behind why marriage is like this is a mixture of modern attitudes and culture. Finding love is a process of growing together rather than finding a finished product. Everyone has faults and makes mistakes. There are certain qualities to look for but its only after going past the surface that you will get a picture of who you have really chosen. Some things will be as expected others will be disappointing but some things will be a pleasant surprise. Some problems will be your own doing and some successes will be unintentional. In the majority of cases marriage will work out will a good attitude, commitment, kindness, respect, giving each other space, showing love, and common goals. 
 

May you always be successful

A human that she likes (from any time period in history!), probably male version of hur al ayn, maybe hanging around by herself and not bothering with marriage. There are no limitations in jannah :)

It is good to pay attention to your intuition.  If something "does not seem right" and feels like a "sacrifice", this could point to a deeper concern about the situation, beyond merely whether or not you will be working outside the home. (Although it could include the dynamics behind why he doesn't want you to work, and his reaction to your situation with your family.)

Anyway, you could give it some thought and see whether or not there is anything else that is bothering you. 

You could also imagine yourself 20 years in the future and ask yourself if you would feel disappointed or resentful if you gave up your career for marriage. You could also ask yourself if you would feel disappointed and like you really lost out if you did not marry this person. 

Also, practically, in case you do get married and the marriage doesn't work out (it happens!) or, God forbid, something happens to your husband, do you have financial resources or a support structure to fall back on (such as living with family), or would it put you/your family in a vulnerable situation? This is also something you could take into consideration when considering whether or not to give up your career.

Beyond that, it is your choice whether or not to marry him, and we can't advise on that here. It is natural for marriage to have compromises and usually people will have to compromise something in a marriage. The question is whether it is a compromise that people are willing to make, or not. So what compromises you and he are willing to make is up to you and him.

As a general note: Life can change a lot, people might have one idea of how they will live but eventually need to make some changes. For instance, sometimes a person might not have a career before a marriage but get one later in life, or someone might leave a career sometime in life. This isn't really important to your situation right now, but is good for people to keep in mind overall.
