She has made her choice which is a good choice. To her, she's thanking God she made it out alive. Not many people did. Also, she shouldn't re-mark, she should just live in with her new partner and be semi-independent. She should use her experience as the phobia for another marriage. If possible she should not give birth again.

I find it very sad seeing people picking out faults in the woman, while completely alienating the husband's deficiencies, which happens to the cause of the whole issue. Remember that you will have daughters and these daughters of yours will get married...

Although she got married for the wrong reasons and perhaps hastily. This wouldn't have really mattered if the marriage went on smoothly, cos we've seen cases where it did not matter on the long run.

I will never understand this idea of a woman not being financially independent before getting married, to the extent that almost nothing can be done in the house without daddy bringing out his wallet. It puts undue pressure on the man and he acts out even without knowing.

Some decisions are usually taken in marriage that is often not to the benefit of the home, be it acted out ignorantly. These decisions, before and after marriage are usually the cause of some of these issues.

My advice... Your aunt should give him another chance, having called his bluff for so long, but keeps coming back. Most Nigerian men are usually too egoistic to beg for so long, especially when there is no financial benefit from the apology.

Your aunt should just keep on moving and chose happiness. She should however focus on getting her life together, renting her own flat and taking care of herself before going to find another man to be dependent on. She seems to be the lazy and dependent type. Looking for eldorado everywhere and thinking having kids will help her secure such a life. She is setting very bad examples for her daughters.
