My wife has always been very possessive and hates me going out without her, even before we got married nine years ago.
Recently though, her jealousy has become so bad that the rows have turned violent. If I talk to another woman at a party, she kicks me viciously under the table, and when we get back home, she attacks me.
I try to fend her off, but it is difficult as she is bigger than me.
I have had teeth marks and other bruises and it’s difficult coming up with a story explaining my wounds that my workmates would believe.
I’ve also had a nasty gash at the back of my neck after she pushed me backwards off my chair. I’ve tried talking to her but she wouldn’t listen and the violence is getting worse.
I’m afraid she might really hurt me one of these days. What else do you think I can do?
Domestic violence against men is one of the least taboos, but it’s a growing problem.
You need to let your wife see she’s killing your marriage and she must seek help for her anger and jealousy. Make it clear that you will end the marriage if she attacks you again.
In the meantime, you have to let a few of her relatives know what danger your life is in. If she won’t change, pack your bags and leave, albeit temporarily.
If that doesn’t work, then I’m afraid you have to make an alternate plan so you could have a stress-free life.
