My husband wants to kill me, he is financially, emotionally and physically abusing me. I am Catholic so divorce is not an option. We have lost two kids in the past 3 yrs and I just had a third December last year. I had to quit my job and all because of the baby and I left some good jobs Just so I can relocate to where he is. After marriage, I discovered that everything he told me was a lie.He works at Exxonmobil so he has the money but he uses it as a way to control me. I was able to get a job last year despite my pregnancy which helped me with feeding and up keep but I had to resign because the company was not honest.I am at home now with my 4 months old daughter without a job. I had to come stay with my parents in Benin so as to manage myself till I can get a job. I personally don’t want to return there without a job or even return to the house with him in it. He makes me an angry and bitter person. What do I do?P.S: I am well educated with a Master’s degree in HSE from the University of Birmingham. I also got an internship with a British company and an offer but turned it down to come back to him in Nigeria. Luckily I got a Shell offer before I returned back in PH though. After a year, I had to quit that to be with him in Lagos.Sorry for the long note. I respect your judgment a lot aunty A and I have admired you since I was in 200level when you came to Uniben. Hope to hear from you soon.
