My survivor story

I am a male 50+ got married in India before moving to US. Even during initial years of marriage my spouse used to scream and put me down, when pointed a cursory sorry, and repeated.

When she approached me for marriage I had pointed out I wanted to move to US for higher studies, life will be difficult, she insisted on getting married, but after coming to US it was screaming non stop, saying my identity is missing.

I supported her for higher studies, got a good job, but still abuse didn’t stop, meanwhile I was going downhill. I wanted to get out at this stage, but typical Indian way her family brought my family in to convince me to stay.

I had serious accident soon after, my studies ended career ended, while I endured abuse, and PTSD.

After 22 years of marriage she said you are not a good social partner and filled for divorce

Now after divorce I am wondering what happened
