I came back from the market and saw Uncle Chinh covered in blood on the ground. My whole body was cold and trembling, not knowing what to do next.

Since we were in love, I understood that my husband had a very hot temper. Every time he encountered something he didn’t like, he would get angry, scold, and even break things. But when he calmed down, he spoke very sweetly, promising to fix things and never do it again.

We weren’t in love yet, but he trusted me and gave me all his savings and salary card to keep. He was very generous with my parents. The day my father went to the hospital, he quit his job to take care of him. It was his kindness that made me unable to let go and had to agree to marry him.

After we got married, his hot temper didn’t change but got worse. From someone who had many friends, now no one wants to play with him anymore. Because every time he drinks with friends, he pays close attention to the words and looks of everyone. If someone makes him unhappy, a delicious meal can be ruined.

Friends were humiliated many times when they went out with my husband, and in the end they decided to boycott him.

Every time I have a party with relatives, I have to go, not because I want to eat, but because I don’t want to embarrass the family. My brothers in the family drink a lot and always push my husband to do his best. When they drink, they talk nonsense, and if anyone says something bad, my husband is ready to get angry and threaten to beat them.

appy, a delicious meal can be ruined. (Illustration)

For the past 10 years, my ears have been sore when I hear people criticize and accuse my husband of causing trouble at their house. I have advised my husband a lot, but he only promises and refuses to change, which makes me extremely tired.

Last month, I told him that if my husband still liked to cause trouble with people, I would take the children and leave home, let him do whatever he wanted, I couldn’t run after him all my life to solve the problems he caused.

That time, my husband raised his hand and swore and promised never to do it again, to give him a chance to make amends. I believed him and waited for him to change, but then my family fell into a deadlock.

Last Sunday, the neighbors built a fence on their land, but my husband thought they were encroaching, so the two sides had a big argument. My husband said:

“If you don’t destroy the wall and move the fence back to your land, I will destroy it.”

The neighbor was also stubborn and challenged my husband to destroy the wall. Before he could finish speaking, my husband rushed in and destroyed the newly built wall. Uncle Chinh rushed in to stop my husband from doing so. A fight broke out between the two sides, and in a moment of losing his temper, my husband picked up a brick and threw it at the neighbor’s head. As a result, he collapsed on the spot.

I came back from the market, saw Uncle Chinh covered in blood on the ground, my whole body was cold and trembling, not knowing what to do next. Everyone shouted to take him to the emergency room, and my husband went to the police to confess.

Since the day my neighbor was hospitalized, my family has been broken. My husband was placed under house arrest, I took care of him, gave him medicine and paid for his treatment. I am innocent, my husband committed a crime, I have to bear it all.

I have given Uncle Chinh’s family 400 million VND but it is not stable, the doctor said that he might have to live a vegetative life for the rest of his life. Hearing this, my hands and feet went limp, what crime did I commit to have to suffer like this.

I hate my husband, he only thinks about himself in everything he does, not caring about the consequences, and now I have to bear it all. I want to leave my husband far away, run away from everything and let him take responsibility for what he has done. But my conscience does not allow me to do that. My husband is a bad person, I cannot be like him, I have to live a good life so that my children will have enough confidence to face the world.
