Mataji,
You are under the influence of heavy material nature. Do not blame anyone for this. Its just your past karmas. Do not complain. The best path will be to use a neem mala for chanting. Does not matter if your husband is non-veg and u continue to eat onion garlic becoz of family conditions. Your only duty is to find some time with the Lord of our hearts Sri Sri Radha Krishna and cry!!! The Lord always runs to the aid of his yearning and helpless children. Continue using the neem beads for chanting as if it is non different from Tulasi mala. Be ever conscious of Krishna. Since you are heavily inflicted by material nature ; do not try to fight it externally. It will cause more harm to you. Nobody has been ever able to fight Maya except with the aid of the Supreme Lord himself. If you develop an attitude of surrender and weep sincerely to the Lord ; what can delay his help approaching you. Mataji; mark my words, You will be relieved in a very short time. Chant..Chant and Chant ..that is all!!

Hare Krsna Mataji,
PAMHO.
Pls chant 16 rounds of the mahamantra daily, without fail. You definitely do not eat non-veg, if possible do not cook also and do not allow in your house.
Regarding eating onion and garlic, it is very sad, but you have to pick and choose your battles. If you fight for everything, then you will be branded as rigid and stubborn and lose goodwill in your new house. It is better to avoid to the extent possible. If you are cooking in your house, then subtly dont put onion garlic in the food at all. Say garlic has a bad smell. For onion, you can shred cabbage, soak in cold water with salt for a few minutes and saute on high flame like onions to give an onionlike effect. Try cooking in this way and fool the house members if you can. If onion is bought, try giving it to the maids so that they can see the qty reducing inthe house.
Read GIta everyday. You will have to have very good behaviour and patience because now you have to preach to your husband without opening your mouth. If you try to say anything, he will take it on his ego and matters will become bad for you. It is better you dont say anything, with your behaviour (patience, perseverence), you have to preach to him how leading a Krsna Conscious life is better than leading a karmi life.
Chant very sincerely mataji, praying to KRsna in helpless condition, because that is how He has put you in. Be firm on chanting, on the others, give in if the need arises. If the chanting is strong, the rest will follow.
Best of luck.
Pls be in touch.
Haribol,
Rashmi
