I MET MY HUSBAND DURING A FRIENDS WEDDING, AND WE GOT MARRIED FOR 6 YEARS.
THE FIRST TIME HE BEAT ME UP WE HAD GONE FOR AN EVENT HE GOT ANGRY BECAUSE HE SAW ME CATCHING UP WITH SOME COLLEAGUES IN THE INDUSTRY.
HE GOT ANGRY AND WENT HOME,LEFT THE CAR BEHIND, WHEN I WENT HOME HE MET ME WITH SLAPS.
I WAS BEATEN TILL THE DOGS WOKE UP. I FORGAVE HIM AND THEN HE STARTED MAKING IT A HABIT.’
