Chubhie:
Two people that once professed undying love. Love is the greatest force in the universe. Some philosopher said love makes the world go round.

As a retired old man, I've studied love In hindsight. The speed of light transition between love and hate amazes me. The human mind is overdue for an upgrade so that we can better handle the love energy.
We live in the best of times with opportunities to upgrade ourselves.

Sorry it's not short. If you'd rather read, best I found is pdf.

I just wonder how someone would give or tolerate a single slap, talk less of a hundred. A man or woman who will slap his or her spouse is sick and will do worse in a matter of time. Even the person who tolerates it is sick.

My brother be sure the person you are dating is not just mad with is partner claiming to be single, otherwise you will open the books of lamentation reading from chapter one to the end.

I Finally Chose to Walk Away from My Marriage

After deep reflection and repeated attempts to make things work, I have decided to step away from my marriage for the sake of my peace, safety, and well-being.

For a long time, I have endured constant physical and emotional abuse from my wife. During disagreements, she often resorts to violence, slapping, hitting, and using hurtful words. On several occasions, she has even threatened me with sharp objects such as knives and scissors. Unfortunately, today, she carried out that threat and stabbed me in the neck. By the grace of God, it wasn’t fatal, but it was the final straw that made me realize I cannot continue living in fear.

Throughout our marriage, I have done my best to provide for our home and ensure we lacked nothing. Despite my efforts, I have never received her support, emotionally, mentally, or otherwise. I have never raised my hand against her, yet that restraint has often been taken for weakness, giving her the boldness to abuse me repeatedly.

My family, having witnessed much of what I’ve gone through, has now asked her to leave and packed her belongings. She has quarreled with nearly every member of my family and remains in conflict with them.

This decision to end the marriage is not out of anger but self-preservation. I am choosing to prioritize my mental, emotional, and physical health. I have nothing to hide and no intention to tarnish her image; I am only speaking the truth about my experience.

From this point forward, I am focused on healing, rebuilding, and finding peace again.
Congratulations.....but u sld have divorced her since.

"For better for worse" was coined by male-focused systems to help keep women in check. Men being encouraged to stand up against the establishment is actually a good thing. undecided

You married someone with mental problems. How did not see the signs before the marriage, sometimes they tell you how they will react to situations, and it shows warning signs. Sometimes you can see it from their behavior.

She is not a runs girl or agbero but a church girl to the core, if she sing you will think Angels will come down but in aspects of this marriage, she is not worth it, and regard hearing her side of stories, I can't sugar coat my part in order for me to look lie a saint, in a forum that I don't know any person personally and for the root cause, I don't know why she is misbehaving because anything that man can provide for his family, I have done that in regards to feeding, accommodation, clothing, emotional, and otherwise so I don't understand her behavior and moreover thanks for your input
Well you could have given a few situations of things that happened without including any delicate specifics in your details.

It is hard to believe someone who had good behavior started misbehaving just a year ago. Although people can pretend for long, there would have been signs that connects back to current behavior. Doesn't mean she would have stabbed you during dating but maybe some aggression towards you or others

For 5yrs that you people courted, you didn't see the signs that you were with a man killer? You're lucky to have escaped with your life intact.

So what exactly were you guys about before she proceeded to stabbing you? What were you guys fighting about? The attempt wasn't while you were sleeping I would imagine.

My dear brother I can relate. If I knew what I know now honestly I would have stayed away from marriage. Though mine didn't get to the point of knives and scissors, I still suffered humiliation all in the name of peace. She'd tear my cloths of my body right in front of the kids whenever she was angry. She also cheated countlessly.

Truth is marriages aren't really working anymore. Today it's a woman but even the men have their downsides in matrimony.

I tell you one thing though. Separation is better that suicide or murder.

You did the right thing
