Dear MIMsters: I asked hubby for this after beating the crap out of me on Sunday morning. Was I wrong?

I am 28, my husband is 40 and we have four-months-old baby. Since I got married to my husband two years ago, he’s never laid a finger on me until on Sunday morning.

I woke up on Sunday morning, went to the market, came home to cook, ate and started to fetch water till 10pm. While I was doing all the chores alone, hubby was busy watching a movie and the baby was sleeping. The baby woke up while I was taking my bath. I carried her to hubby to hold her so I could rest for a bit. Hubby brought her back but I refused to take her because I was too tired.

Hubby doesn’t like carrying our baby even if she’s crying hell, except I force him to. He will pretend not to hear. His excuse is that he’s tired from work. But I am the only one who takes care of her all through the day.

As we were arguing, my baby almost fell down, then hubby descended on me and he beat me almost to the point of death. I called my mom but she insisted I stayed back to settle the issue with hubby but I refused. I went home to my parents with my daughter.

Later, our Pastor, MIL and SIL came to our house with hubby immediately they heard to beg for forgiveness. I told them that I have forgiven him but need some time to cool off and also need to go to the hospital to treat myself.

Hubby brought 20k for the treatment but I refused to collet because it won’t be sufficient for the kind of hospital I registered in. I demanded for 100k but hubby refused to yield, instead he told his people and they supported him to not give mr the money and said I should forget it. They said I just want money and nothing is really wrong with me.

My mom got angry and took me to the hospital and paid the bills. Till now, hubby and his people haven’t showed up again nor called to know how I am doing. Was I wrong to ask hubby for 100k after beating the hell out of me?

  • Madam God just showed you that u r married to a be**t,instead of taking care of his child for a busy mum to bath and rest he beat her to a pulp and still is claiming right
    What if ur enemy died ,does he know how much a casket costs?a good man would have happily brought the money to show how remorseful he was,better know that with this attitude and that of his family, if u go back,this will herald the beginning of series of battering, so wait back for as long as u will till he shows he is remorseful

  • This is not the question you should be asking. You should be asking how to leave a woman beater and not money for hospital bills. That man has no regards for you whatsoever.

  • But Madam, you should have gone to a hospital you can afford instead of being a burden to your mum. To me woo, 20k is enough.

  • It’s nt a crime.u cn ask him wteva u wnt den if he cnt afford it,he shuld say dan walk out jst lyk dt.it shows he dosent value u or ur bby n has nvr did.pls move on witout him.u culd alwys get sum1 beta.

  • Stop blaming yourself. Don’t go back to him he’ll kill u. There is no love anymore

  • You’re a promising young lady, don’t allow a man who doesn’t value you take you for granted. A man who beats his wife is not worth been called a man. Take a break, go to God and ask for directions… Maybe you didn’t go to go in the first place before you agreed to marry this wife-beater.

  • What you should be asking is the contact of human rights lawyer to get the fool arrested. WTH????

  • Pls stay back in ur mum’s house. That makes n is not worth d trouble. Go and pack ur things and look for a job to start fending for urself and baby cos if u go back, u will not live to tell d next story! Na RIP people go begin type for ur page. Don’t listen to people that will tell u odawise cos it’s easier for them to be special advisers than for them to be the ones people are advising
