I got married in year 2006 I was 27 then ,my husband is a lecturer in one of the colleges of education in the south west and I was in year two doing my degree then. We are blessed with three lovely daughters. Ever since  I got married I have never experienced peace of mind ,it has always been from one abuse to another.After I finished my degree I was waiting for service and told him I want to learn tailoring he said no way ,I agreed . I continue staying at home till service came . After the service  no job , I was home doing nothing for good seven years .During those years I saw hell ,my husband will do virtually everything by himself including going to the market and buying everything , including soup ingredients ,and he’s still doing that till now .

I must not tell him I needed money ,it will seems as if am pouring hot pepper on him ,whenever he’s not at home , if my kids are crying for common ten naira biscuit I will not be able to afford it , even in the church ,until he changes money n bring it I will not be able to pay any offering .When I couldn’t console it any longer I applied into a private school and I was given appointment my husband did not allow me to go , that there is no way he will allow me to work there .Money he will not give me and also prevents me from working. I continue in my suffering as a good wife praying for God to give me a job. During those time if any of his family members or anybody gives me money my husband will collect it and tell me it’s my contribution to the up keep of the family since I have never contributed in any way.

For the sake of peace I succumb.Less I forget during those years of my staying at home , I must not touch his car , l remembered there was a time we had 3 cars at home , he bought new one and wanted to sell one ,I don’t even know how to drive . He will drive his kids to school in the morning and bring them in the afternoon .One day a Friend of mine who has been observing the way he will always be in haste with the kids and never be patient with them called him and told him dat “oga sebi your wife is at home doing nothing and you have 2 cars let her learn it and be bringing your kids to school with ease because you are always in hurry with your children.

When he got home,…..
