Dear MIMsters: Update On My Husband Who Laid His Hands On Me

Appreciation Time! I posted here last month about my ‘Good and Caring’ husband who laid his hands on me for the first time over a minor argument regarding our daughter.

I was so mad at his action that I sought advice and suggestions on how to make him pay dearly for it. After going through all the comments, in my opinion, most of the comments preached forgiveness.

I then had a rethink and made up my mind to forgive, but I was not going to make it easy for him.

After pleading with me, I gave him these conditions which he accepted:

*I demanded a written apology and a promise never to do it again.

* I demanded he plays my role for a week by doing all my domestic chores for one week. Chai! That was the apex, he could not believe his ears, he had no choice than to accept because he had already promised to accept any condition.

Men, you need to see the stress this put on him. He would return from work and go straight to the kitchen, while I relax and play with our baby. I just wanted him to feel what I pass through daily after having a hectic day at work.

He did it for 5 days and I weighed in on the 6th day and forgave him wholeheartedly.

I’m so grateful to God for restoring Love, Peace and Unity to my home. Meanwhile, I have also learnt my lesson from the incidence because we were both wrong. I diplomatically apologised.

A big thanks to our wonderful admin and to the commentators for their pleasing and meaningful comments, and for those who are quick to judge a fellow woman, please stop all these unnecessary one-sided comments because you may never know how painful someone’s shoes are until you have walked in it.
