To Canadian Girl

Mine was very sweet and charming in the beginning also until we got engaged and moved in together. He changed completely. Became very controlling about every aspect of my life and told me he would treat me better once I became muslim. He had temper tantrums, was rushing our marriage, nothing I did was good enough, everything was my fault and he was extremely jealous. Then he started hitting me. I am very lucky to have gotten away from him when I did because I know, after marriage, it would have been worse and the Holy Quran tells them to beat their women, lightly. I'm not saying yours will change like mine did, but I never would have thought such a sweet, charming man could change into the SOB he became. I wish you the best.
