I felt trapped and suffocated in my marriage. My partner was controlling, emotionally abusive, and made me feel like I was walking on eggshells every day. He would criticize me constantly, making me feel worthless and belittling my accomplishments.
I lost my sense of self and felt like I was living a life that wasn’t mine. I was isolated from friends and family, and my partner would get ang*y if I tried to reach out to them. I felt like I was living in a prison, with no escape.
The worst part was the emotional manipulation. My partner would make me feel guilty for things that weren’t my fault, and I started to doubt my own sanity. I felt like I was losing myself, and I didn’t know how to escape.
It took a lot of courage, but I finally found the strength to leave the marriage. It was a difficult and painful process, but I’m now in a place of healing and recovery. I’ve learned to love myself again and to recognize the signs of toxic behavior. I’m grateful to be free from that terrible marriage and to be living a life that is truly mine.

Wow! It takes a lot to leave a relationship, the thought of what people will say, the thought of “will I be able to cope being alon?” and the likes. Thankfully you’re in a better place now. If possible, try and sort out things with your partner. Divorce shouldn’t always be a solution to marital problems.
Sorry you have to go through all of that, you are a strong woman cos it takes only a strong person to go through all of that and still have the courage to come out of it. I wish many women will one day have same strength. You will be alright dear.
