I’m a young lady in my late 20s. I regret getting married; the only thing that is giving me joy is my kids. My husband tricked me into marrying him because I couldn’t believe he was all this, and now I regret not listening to my folks, especially my mum. He’s 12 years older than I am, and I was thinking I would be safe, but no, reverse is the case. There’s no perfect person, but at this point, I just want to let go. Whenever we have misunderstandings, he calls me all sorts of names. He even goes as far as calling my parents to disrespect them. He has no regard for me, all in the name of being angry, even at little things that can be overlooked. For the past 2 years, I’ve been overlooking and trying to act like a wise woman who wants a good home. He hits me, and in defense, I bite him. Whenever he sees the scars, he starts up another fight. His parents interfere whenever we have misunderstandings and try to settle them.
So the main issue now is a few days ago, he decided to be dramatic because he saw the bite mark on his arm, and he started with a lot of texts on my WhatsApp. I apologized immediately because I didn’t want another fight. In the process, he asked me some questions, and I answered sincerely, only for him to use those words against me. I’m 28 years old, and I’m nursing high blood pressure just because I loved a man genuinely. I can’t really express myself as I want to now. To the question, he left home on that day, and he’s not back. He called to ask for the kids; I even apologized to him. But at this point, I don’t know what to do. About 65% of me is tired of the marriage, but his folks have been so good to me. And low key, I’m running some plans unknown to him. What do you advise I do?
