What Would It Take?

Many people are on unhealthy relationships, I used to criticize, but now I’m one of them. It all started with me getting pregnant before marriage. Marrying because of pregnancy is always a bad reason for getting married

Signs of a bad relationship were already present before I got married, but I just ignored them, thinking if things got worse, I was gonna be able to walk away, not knowing that things were about to change. 

When I got pregnant I thought that the right thing to do was to get married. It was probably the worst mistake of my life. There was no honey moon, we didn’t have the money to pay for a honey moon, we didn’t have a house nor could we afford to rent, I had leave my job and everything was quickly falling apart. We had to stay on a room on my parents house.

I remember the first morning after the wedding, I remember it as if it was yesterday. I wanted to be the “perfect” wife and bring him breakfast in bed. I fast learned that my idea of a regular breakfast wasn’t the same as his, he didn’t want pancakes or eggs and juice, instead the wanted a full dinner, rice and beans and soda. I wanted everything to be perfect, I was glad there was left over food from the party. I heated up some of it on a plate and put some soda with ice and put a fork rolled up on a napkin, and bring it for him to bed. There was never a thank you, the first thing he said was that he doesn’t eat rice with a fork and he pointed out how stupid I was to even think that. I ran to the kitchen to grab a spoon.  After bringing him the spoon he checked it back and front, realized there were water stains on it and trowed it to me saying that it was dirty and to washed again, than after the second spoon, he complained about the food being too cold and to heat it up again. Than as he was about to get a sip of the soda noticed something floating on it…that was the first time he slapped me. I realized than the mistake I’ve done, but it was too late. Hell had began from that day on. I went back to work just 3 months after the baby was born to help save money to move out of my parents house.
