Sisters I need your thoughts about divorce

Assalamu Alaykum

My husband and I had been through a fight regarding second marriage. I'm very angry and I cannot understand him why he needed to have second marriage. Though it was my fault because his late father chooses someone for him and he cannot turn down his father. I told him if its against your will its okay not to follow your father. He told me that he don't like the girl, out of respect and family honor he will marry the girl. Then, im in my rage mood...I bombarded him with calls I told him you cannot even afford to provide my needs and now you will marry again. I cannot accept this...blah blah then out of my st**idity I told him give me divorce....He said, "Okay if thats what u want I give you divorce" I answered make it three so that I will be valid then he said "DIVORCE DIVORCE DIVORCE".....then the call was cut...In the morning, I called him and he told me you make me divorce you, you forced me but in my heart i didn't mean to say it...

Now is that divorce still valid please enlighten me...

Thank you for the reply....

actually here is a "short" background of the divorce thing..hope this will not bore you...

My husband and I were married last March 15, 2014, but we live separately since he cannot afford for a new place for us. We both have job but last March he lost his job...i helped him search for another job..he did find a job but quit since he cannot handle the pressure. so he went to his home country and leaving me behind..we have good communication but everything went sour when he told me that he will marry another woman which was arranged by his late father. When he saw the woman, he told me that he don't like her.. I advised him not to look at the appearance but think if this marriage will make him happy in the future. He told his mom that he don't agree with the second marriage but his mom give him options: first, he will not marry the lady and he will not come back to me also. second, he marry the lady and can come to me. He is confused and out of respect of his late father, he agreed the said arranged marriage (but theres no nikka yet since they are planning it on big eid) Then, he tried to convince me... he is very short tempered man..he cannot handle my jealousy,.. i even told him you cannot even afford to provide my needs and then u will face that second marriage... He became angry at me. He told me that slowly slowly he will provide my needs. (Actually they try to settle the distribution of their father's property which is from my point of view a very small amount). He told me his plans that he will come back to me after his marriage and he will bring his second wife maybe after three or four months....the three of us will live in one roof which makes me angry.....

Since I am the one who have job..i always call him and our calls will turn into fight and I always tell him that he cannot afford to raise a family with me blah blah until I told him okay providing that you cannot provide my needs i will seek divorce..he said to me he will never ever divorced me...until such time that he was mad he said over the phone, "if thats what you want i give you divorce" he added, "divorce divorce divorce"

Im very upset and I call him back he told me that I forced him to divorce me but its not his heart's intention to divorce me.

So now, Im upset with the second marriage and with the "divorce"...I love him and I cannot love other man but I cannot live the thought three of us in one room/roof (according to what he can afford)...

Salaam Alaykum Abu Loren:  I'm in the same situation as sister Aighar.  My husband has taken a 2nd wife and is unemployed with 3 kids, 2 of which lives in the home with us.  I've been supporting us for 5 years as my husband was a full time student.  I didn't mind it so much because I felt like him sacrificing and going to school would benefit us in the long run.  Now, he's gone and taken a 2nd wife, one whose divorced with 3 kids living with her mother.

No your divorce is not valid because at least 2 witness are also needed and there must be gap of three months and if after three months later he again give you divorce so the divorce is valid otherwise not. Let me share you a video link that clearly said that saying 3 times divorce quickly will not case of divorce until there is period of three months. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1atwx0_zakir-naik-correct-procedure-of-divorce_people
