I saw this on one of my friends Wattsapp status and that just made me thinking what she must have been going through. This friend of mine is a simple girl who was never allowed to choose anything on her own right from the time she was a child. Her parents decided what was right for her if that meant even choosing the person she would be spending her rest of her life with.
Like always she agreed to marry her parents choice, but very soon realised that it was not meant for her. Her husband was abusive and physically assaulted her when things didn't go his way at personal or professional front. She concluded that he had abusive parents and his abusive nature was just his depression. She decided that she should help him recover rather than resist his behavior. Things went as usual for a year and soon she got pregnant. He took that as an opportunity and left her with his parents and went on to join a job in another city. He often citied money as an issue when she asked to join him. The baby was delivered and she felt something amiss in her relationship. Out of curiosity she checked his laptop and found about his illicit affair with a co worker.
When confronted he accepted that he was in love with the girl and wanted to stay with her leaving behind his child and wife. His parents supported their daughter in law and told him to go on and divorce his wife but cleared that their property would be inherited by their daughter in law and grand daughter and not by him. There was pretty much to inherit, so he changed his plans.
My friend being the naive girl that she was, accepted him back and soon found out that he has not mend his ways. She is still with him and has become emotionless. She doesn't want to leave him probably because she loves him, but he is such a jerk to not see that.
If I were her, I would have moved out of the relationship after the first assault. I am not proud but astonished by the strength that my friend has in her. For some years she believed that he would be back to her, but now she has lost hope. I wish she has the power to get over him. She deserves better.
Very interesting post
I love it
