Congratulations on walking out on an emotionally abusive relationship... Not many women are able to do the same for various reasons and you hav done the right thing..

Sadly I come from a community where this was the norm especially in the previous generation (the current crop of sexagenarians and septagenarians).. and almost everytime the husband (as is the case usually) gets away with it because the environment is not supportive to a woman who wants to walk out on her husband.. There are plenty of reasons starting with keeping the family going, not being able to sustain oneself or chance facing social indifference.... Things are changing though for the better in the current generation..
