I Was Trapped in Abusive Marriage for Years

I never imagined that marriage something I entered with so much love and hope would become the source of my deepest pain.
For years, I lived behind closed doors carrying a secret I couldn’t share with even my closest friends.

From the very first year, intimacy in our marriage began to disappear. At first, I thought it was stress from work or the pressures of newly married life. But as months turned into years, it became clear that it wasn’t just stress, it was a deliberate pattern of rejection and emotional cruelty.

What many people don’t realize is that sexless marriages can be a form of abuse.
I was constantly blamed, belittled, and made to feel unattractive and unwanted. My husband would shut me out, sometimes sleeping in the other room for weeks. He would remind me that “other women would be grateful just to be in this house.”

I can’t describe the loneliness of lying awake at night, pretending to be asleep while silently crying.
Worse still was the feeling that I had nowhere to turn. Divorce felt shameful. Talking to family meant exposing a pain I wasn’t ready to share.
