I got permission from a big friend of mine to anonymously share her past and recent experiences in her marriage here on Hive and also get the opinion of people on what she should do..
“How it started and how it is going
I and my husband started dating in 2020, he always took me out and we were both loving up until one day when I stayed out late at the hospital where I worked, he came to the premises and called me out, he started accusing me of having an affair at the hospital, before I could say jack he slapped me once and dragged me to his house, upon getting home, he didn't say a word to me, we both minded our business and slept, in the middle of the night, he woke me up and asked us to talk about it, I agree to him and after we finished talking, he knelt down and apologized to me after which I forgave him and we continued our relationship.
That was the only time we had issues in our relationship and the only time he raised his hands on me. We dated for two years and officially got married in January 2023. We were both loving up, I got pregnant two months after our marriage and gave birth to a baby boy that same year in December.
Sometimes he got angry and lifted his hands to beat me but will drop his hands. We were doing well until my baby turned two in 2025 and one day, when we were both in the house, he asked me to get out of the house that he wanted to be alone and I took my son and left only for me to return home and he had removed the flat screen television, broken it, he turned the dining table and kept it on the ground, broke plates in the kitchen and destr0yed some pots, when I asked him what happened he turned to me and told me I was a cheat in the marriage and that he would k1ll me if I do not leave the marriage.
Later in the middle of the night, I woke up to struggling with my breadth only to find my husband pressing my neck with a pillow, I struggled with him and was able to escape but he held my hair and beat me up that night. He has been threatening to st@b me ever since if I don't leave his house. He beats me at every slight mistake and I don't know what to do, please help me.”
