Free will of every human being is a Quranic fact which can never be denied, Every human being is free to be a believer or a disbeliever, then all will meet the results of their own deeds and decisions. In Quran (We Have Guided him to the right way, then he decides whether to be a grateful or ungrateful. Sura 76, Verse 3.

The Knowledge of Allah (SWT) is unlimited and He Knows who will do what and when and where, but it never means forcing people to do wrong. Those who do wrong do it by their own decision and free will same those who do good. Allah (SWT) Helps doing good and never Helps doing bad.

5. Al-Qandoozi Al-Hanafi in Yanaabee'ul Mawaddah , V.2, page 78.

The Prayer is still valid as far your intention to continue praying for the sake of Allah  is not terminated or stopped or changed. Distraction during the prayer is from Shaitan who always tries to disturb us and spoil our relationship with Allah. It does not invalidate the prayer but you need to focus again on the prayer and avoid the Satanic thoughts (whispering).

It is better to keep your issues with your husband between you and him with out involving others as much as possible. If you both are completely unable to sort your things together then a person from your family with a person from his family can be involved to sort things out. Don't try to make your parents take a negative opinion about your husband by hearing your side of the story before hearing his side. Involving your parents should repair and strengthen the relation between you and your husband and never to create enmity or bad feeling between them and your husband. You and your husband should talk peacefully to understand the reasons of your misunderstands and to try to avoid it as much as possible.

You can end it, only by him freeing you for the remaining period, so one must make sure they do not make the mistake of making the time-period too long, and do this only for the sake of it becoming a permanent marriage.

And Allah knows best
