I have a friend who is married has been married to a man for over 25 years, she has faced constant emotional abuse. She converted to his religion, followed his rules (don't talk to your friends or family, don't go out, etc, etc). He is super religious, he comes from another country, hates her country, abuses her country, her family. He did not let her go to her mother's funeral. He is constantly afraid someone will convert her back to her original religion. In the initial 2 years of her marriage she realised she had made a mistake, she thought maybe if they have children it will get better... and so the story goes for all marriages where women make the same mistake, ironically her younger son taught her self worth and rebellion (he encouraged her to meet up with me, as her husband hates me sight unseen due to the fact that I happen to be his wife's best friend despite having lost touch for over 25 years and my religion), he is an atheist.

I have another friend who married her high school sweetheart, she had one child with him, she was unhappy, he was having affairs - she thought something was wrong with her. She thought maybe if they had another child things might get better. Her beat her black and blue while she was pregnant. I do not understand why women would even think of bringing in innocent souls into their messed up lives, just "incase" it repairs it? Kick the dude and move on ladies! (East Asian)
