You don't say? A woman shows her man how to treat her by how she sees herself. If she dogs herself, he's going to pick up on that. She said she's not the best looking, she picked up some weight, etc. From what I heard, she's an awesome wife and it's shameful her husband verbally abuses her. Maybe he's not happy with her, and doesn't know how to express that. After all, they haven't sexed in over a year. Think about it, she's affectionate and loving towards her husband and ANY man in his right mind would reciprocate. Worst case scenario: He's cheating. Any man that dogs his wife & withholds affection has to be cheating. This reminds me of Why Did I Get Married, when Sheila (Jill Scott) was grossly disrespected by her husband. He wouldn't touch her, but he was good at putting her down. Once she found herself, she left her ex-husband and married Troy (Lamman Rucker). Now, the ex was trying to get his woman back, but she wasn't having it. In short, she told her ex to get lost. I hope this woman can love herself enough to do one of two things: Demand her husband love & respect her, or leave. It's just a matter of time before verbal abuse turns into physical abuse. There are men that are dying to have a good woman to love on, and she lets this clown disrespect her. This letter is sad, but it's what many couples face in their relationships. People treat you how you allow. She's scared to stand up to her husband because she doesn't want him going upside her head, so she figures she deserves the verbal abuse. I guess he knows how to hurt his woman by withholding affection from her. After all, women love affection from their husbands.
