Reply to Orange - Being his wife

Submitted by Emoticon (Italy), Mar 26, 2019 at 06:12

Hi Orange,

Sorry for my late reply. Yes my ex kept calling me his wife but only when there was only the two of us. Should he be in sight of Arabs on the road, he would shift mood in an instant, from flirty and holding hands to blunt, mocky and harsh. None of his family ever knew I existed, even if he would tell me the sweetest things I had ever hard from a man.

In the end I was a good wife because I supported him in his unemployment, offered him my home to sleep at peacefully when he was ill, given he was living with 8 people and needed silence, washed his clothes and cooked halal food in my kitchen... He only criticised my evening hobbies, never wanted to share a pizza or a dinner anywhere, it was only my home, my home, my home where he could get as dirty as he pleased, to nobody's knowledge... and still i never ever had sex with him thank God... everyone thought he was a good Muslim from the outside but to me it was all a big lie. I felt used and abused in the end because it was all wrong what i said and did and never enough, whatever i tried to improve myself. And then the hitting started, and the bad words. One thing I learned from this experience: Yes, i will be a real damn good wife, one day...

Take care all, life's too great, get someone you really deserve, surely no such rotten rats...
