My husband broke me in every way possible.

I wasn’t a perfect wife but I aspired to be one for him, I did everything I could to keep him happy. His happiness over mine, his needs over mine, showing endless love throughout but unfortunately nothing will be enough for a man who doesn’t appreciate you.

Your spouse is meant to be a source of peace and contentment, mine was a punishment, hardship and test all in one. A man who I loved so dearly broke me nothing was ever enough for him, I was always wrong, I was the bad person, he could never be wrong or admit to his mistakes. Carrying his child for 9 months wasn’t enough, baring the pain of labour wasn’t enough, he argued with me on my delivery bed and only days postpartum.. I left to go to my parents house bcos of what I’ve been enduring and now I’m left with my newborn abandoned because of his pride. He hasn’t bothered to check on me (nor have his family who always side with him) or our baby. I sent him endless of photos of the baby (despite me being upset with him) he has been ignoring me non stop and has flipped the entire situation and is blaming me instead. Men who are reading this — is this a man way to act or?

My husband treated me awfully throughout my pregnancy, constantly fighting, constant stress when I was already having a hard time due to personal reasons. He was aware of my past trauma and infact made it his mission to make my life more sufferable and harder. This man made it his aim to destroy me and he succeeded, for what reason I’ll never know. I don’t know what I did to deserve this but I also thank Allah that He chose me to endure this instead of any other woman. This type of man will have you wanting to no longer be around.

Whilst I sit here and write this in tears, if you married please appreciate your spouse, please show them you care, please be there for them. Your spouse is an amanah, take care of your amanah.
