I saw The woman in the toxic relationship I spoke about around 5 years ago. And she told me that when she left my friend, she went out and married a Muslim man who forced her to go to the middle east with her, and really abused her badly- (if she said it was bad, i have to think it must have been really bad as she said it was worse than her relstionship with my friend)
she didn’t take much of it from him though I guess, and left him
They both were alcoholics, and drug abusers. My friend came from a very hostile,family situation too, but he decided to carry on the abuse he received and vent it towards his ex.
Some real sad cases outmthere for sure. Especially,for women mostly- ive known a couple who,had to leave and seek refuge in safe houses for battered women. In one case the husband went looking for,her armed, and ended up getting arrested when he threatened a friend of hers with the gun. The fella worked for a religious organization too, but had a load of demons he was dealing with, and unfortunately his uglier traits got the better of him. He is now under psychiatric care. He was an old druggie who got saved in prison, came out and really tried and did well for awhile, but he gave in to his baser ugly traits unfortunately. Fortunately,the wife escaped, and is doing well now, but he really sucked the life out of her while,they were married. She did regain her bubbly personality though, but it too, some time
There are so many bad marriages out there, no wonder people want to stay single. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, but divorce is necessary if one spouse turns out to be dangerous in any way, including adultery.
