You remained silent and did not say a word. Another time you tried talking to your husband about wanting to work but he wouldn't let you apply for a job. He also did not give you any money. He always accused you of being very “needy” and always used to tell you that he needed his own space. You later found out that he was intimately involved with another woman and when you confronted him, he hit you in the face and left you bleeding. He threatened if you told anyone else, you will face severe consequences.
