More information would help us. There are men who change after marriage, and not for the better. What they change to is what they were brought up to be. That can be a risk when marrying an American, but men from other parts of the world can be even more extreme. India has passed laws against domestic abuse; the men believe they have a right to discipline wives by beating them, and women have lived with that for so long that even they believe it's the husband's right. A similar situation exists in Arabic countries, so caution is essential.
Some women want to get married and for whatever reason have trouble finding someone. Tapping into the foreign market is one solution but the results can be very unpredictable. Besides the male dominance issue, there's a "child ownership" issue that can make it extremely difficult to retrieve children even if a European husband takes them back home. If a Muslim husband decides to take them back to the mideast, your chances of seeing your children again are nearly zero. If you decide to go there to see them, you could find yourself being held against your will.
I hope this isn't what you've gotten yourself into but you have to consider the possibility. If you haven't had children with him yet, don't. Not until you're certain that you aren't going to be victimized, and possibly victimized by the kidnapping of your children--which is a Muslim husband's right.
You speak of proving that he didn't marry you for a visa but you can't. The main reason you can't is because you really don't know yourself that he didn't. Do you think he would tell you if that's what he was intending all along? Women don't deserve that much respect in Muslim society. The only reason they exist is to serve and be owned by men.

He has a new wife, a new life and a new country. Communicate with him your concerns and ask him the questions you need answered. If you need help, I'm sure a therapist can help you better help him.
