I’m on the verge of separating from my husband, who funded my education, because I’ve had enough.
Coming from a very poor family, I met my husband at 19. He initially portrayed himself as an engineer in a public hospital, but later I found out he was actually a level 3 plumber in civil service. Naive and in love, I supported him in pursuing further education, but instead, he opted to sponsor mine first. I became pregnant with his child at 20, unaware of his true age, 13 years older than me, and his deceit about being 26.
Despite red flags and emotional abuse, I stayed with him, relying on his financial support throughout my education. After graduating, I feared depending solely on him and eventually found a job through a wealthy acquaintance. We married, had a second child, and moved out of his family home, where I supported us financially.

Despite efforts to encourage his education and improve our situation, he remained resistant. Even after seeking traditional solutions to his perceived curses, his behavior worsened. He joined a secretive association and began cheating on me, culminating in physical violence.
I’ve endured his mistreatment for too long. Despite his claims of superiority due to age, I’ve reached my breaking point. I’m now determined to divorce him, use the proceeds from selling our car for further education in the UK, and provide for my children independently. It’s time for me to move forward with my life.
