My brother travelled out earlier last two years for his master’s degree in the UK. He left his wife and kids with the promise of bringing them there in six months’ time because the wife didn’t approve the travel at first. After 8 months, he brought her and their kids to stay with him abroad. The wife got sick two weeks after she relocated to the UK. The doctor said that the food she was eating was not entering the right places and she was hospitalized for a few weeks. The illness made her lean; she didn’t get to find any work that year because of the situation. Middle of last year, she got a full-time job in the UK. Mind you, my brother was working part-time because of his school, so his wife earns more than him. My brother, I know, is a calm person, doesn’t talk too much, has no close friends, can carry things without sharing or speaking up (I don’t know if he has changed though). On Monday, my brother’s wife dropped a VN crying that my brother beat her, that she would file for divorce, this and that. My mom was so angry, she called my siblings to tell them. We were not in support of his actions at all. He was telling us that it won’t repeat itself again. Nobody even bothered to ask him what led to the beating;
we were just shouting at him for raising his hand on his wife. It was later that my sister’s husband, who is based in the UK too, called him to talk to him and asked him what happened. That was how he opened up that his wife has been treating him badly and shouting at him anytime she came back from work, saying he has not bathed the kids, that he has not washed the plates, that the house is untidy, that he has not cooked. She was asking him how much he is making, that he can take care of the kids and do chores. The 50/50 they are sharing for rent and other things, she doesn’t even bring up to 50% even though she earns more than my brother. If she comes back from work and he opens the door for her, she will tell him to carry her bags inside. Any small thing, she will be shouting divorce up and down. The insults made him get another job that he added to his other job. My brother said he lost it when she shouted at him to take her bag inside the house. I don’t know what to say again in this situation. We have told him to divorce her if he can’t endure it because women have the upper hand in the UK, and he will be jailed and deported without a penny if the case reaches the higher authority.
