I was in my second year of B-tech when this marriage proposal came for me. Initially, I was not ready. However, my dad convinced me to go for it as the family was highly educated, the boy was well-settled and in a good job.

So I got married when I was 20.

Soon after marriage, I realized that the boy was not normal. He would start arguing about anything anywhere and in front of anyone. They even forced me to leave my studies and I had to do that as I didn't want to go back to my parents and be dependent upon them again.

God had his own plans. Within 6 months of my marriage, I got pregnant. I was happy and sad too as I was not sure of the guy I was married to. I consoled myself and hoped he would change one day. When I was pregnant, he one day hit me badly due to some silly reason.

At that moment I thought I am in the wrong place so I discussed this with my aunt who is a very good friend to me. She advised me to give it some more time and hopefully, all will be fine soon.

I was blessed with a son and I was very happy and stayed at my parents' place for 5-6 months. He continued to torture me mentally. I finally told his mother everything. She was like, "There is nothing wrong with him, you must be doing something wrong."

Things went on like this with no hope of him changing. Days passed by. Things went to worst from worse, my parents came to know about everything. 

One day he beat me up very badly in front of my son, who was too small to understand anything. I decided then to restart my studies. With my father's help, I completed my graduation.

Till 5 years of my marriage, nothing changed. Last time when he hit me, I got 4 stitches on my forehead and that day, I decided to leave him. I was not sure about anything. I told my dad and he supported me and asked me to come back.

I came back to my parents' house and started working in an MNC. Though the salary was a little less, I managed. It's been a year since. No changes in him yet, I also don't want to get back with him anymore. 

Now I am with a guy but we are not in a relationship. We are happy with each other, he respects me a lot and we have a physical relationship also. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong as now, I'm out of my marriage. Not legally but mentally and physically.

I just want to get divorced from him so that I can start a fresh life. I also have the right to be happy and enjoy my life. Isn't it?
