I never imagined something like this would happen to me. Yesterday, my husband had a dreadful fit of anger.
Hes always been composed, which is why his sudden fury took me so much by surprise. Hes never once sworn at me before, but this time…
I always thought I was blessed to have such a calm husband. Weve only been married for two months, but we were together for three years before that and everything seemed idyllic. He was always thoughtful, never uttered a cruel word, never raised his voice. Arguments were almost nonexistent.
Until yesterday.
Hes always admired my long hair, always said it was alluring. But yesterday, when he spotted strands of my hair on the sofa, he just exploded. I couldnt believe what I was seeing.
He started shouting at me, called me dirty, yelled that I couldnt tidy up after myself! Everyone knows its perfectly normal for a woman to shed hair.
He went off, accusing me of lazing around all day, claiming I couldnt even clean up after myself while hes working from sunrise to sunset!
If I see this again, itll be straight to divorce, he shouted at me, livid.
I was stunned. I want children with him; Id already pictured us growing old together. And now he was threatening to divorce me over a few stray hairs. Tears burst from my eyes; it was the first time Id ever cried because of him. After just two months of marriage… What will happen now? I cant just leave…
Now he refuses to speak to me. Im terrified that if I try, he might lash out; his anger is frightening! Is it normal to be afraid of your own husband?
Im scared even to dry my hair. I return home dreading Ill find a suitcase with my things packed by the front door.
What am I supposed to do?
