The Mistake That kept Me In Bondage-Submitted Love Story

You are about to read one of the most interesting love stories you have ever read, here is the mistake that kept me in bondage-submitted love story.

I met him that night in a church program. His appearance captured my attention. He was tall, dark, and handsome.

The way he prayed that night had given me the conviction that God has answered my prayers after so many years of waiting. It was the love I said to myself quietly as I carefully examine him without his consent.

Yes, I was 34 gradually approaching 35 as the feeling to settle down with a man became the anthem ringing in my heart.

I was working with a firm and finance wasn’t my problem as all I needed was a loyal and caring man with whom I will build an Empire. After a few weeks, we ran into each other and we eventually got along and we became friends.

He showed me the love I needed, the attention, affection, and I felt my dream has come to fulfillment. I had asked him where he works and he had told me he hasn’t gotten a job yet but he’s a graduate of a prestigious University in Nigeria. after 3 months of getting to know each other, he asked me out on a relationship, and Promised to marry me.

The joy was too much as I accepted to be the love of his life. As time goes on, some fragments of him began to show forth. First was that I got an offer in my agency to employ someone and I decided to help him out since we will soon get married.

That morning I called him to send me his credentials and he told me he was going to meet me at my house in the next 20 minutes. I waited for almost 2 hours and didn’t see him then I tried his line it was switched off. I was running late for work and at the same time was worried about what would have been the problem.

My Boss was already calling saying the board room has been waiting for the credentials I promise to bring. Without wasting time, I zoomed off to the office and lied that while coming to the office, the photocopied credentials with me had fallen into the water and I couldn’t get in touch with the applicant for another one. Later that day, he came to my house and was accusing me that “If I had known I won’t wait for him why then did I call?”

I tried explaining that I was running late, but before I could finish my explanation, he gave me a slap that made me see the stars. He said I shouldn’t talk while he’s talking. I was shocked at his response for this was the same guy I thought was a churchman who prayed in tongues that night. He left aggressively while I was still at shock.

That night, I had to call him to apologize but a few things began to run through my mind later, I felt I was the cause that was why. The next day, I asked for the same credentials, but this time I found out that he never graduated from any University. He was just a secondary school graduate.

I felt bad because he lied to me, when I told him about my findings, he yelled at me and told me he knows I will mock him. Immediately, I apologised, told him I’m sorry, that I loved him that way.

After some months, his rent got expired and he had no place to go but since we were currently dating and he has promised to marry me, I asked him to move into my house. So, he moved in and we started staying together.

This guy started feeling bossy in the house as he tends to order me in doing do things that were not polite, despite the fact that we’re not yet Married. One day, I decided to call his attention and told him the way he orders me around like a kid shouldn’t be.

The fact I love him doesn’t mean he shouldn’t take me for granted. That night, He knelt and pleaded that I should forgive him that he was just being insecure because he feels I might leave him someday. I saw his remorseful attitude and felt for him and decided to tell him I’d forgiven him.

After some weeks, he told me we should get married so he can rest assured that I’m his. I was so happy that he was beginning to think straight less did I know that he was trying to use it as bait to tie me down completely.

Marriage preparation began as quickly as l least expected. The joy of becoming a wife began to radiate over me as the feeling was glaring. Within 2 months, we had gotten married and were now husband and wife. 

That night, we had lodged in a hotel room so we could enjoy the pleasure as a couple. That was where the whole trauma began from, immediately he yelled at the top of his voice as he grabbed my neck and said he wasn’t in the mood.

The look from his eyes was so horrific that I got scared. After he had left me, he moved out of the hotel room without telling me where he was going then I sat quietly on the floor with tears in my eyes talking to myself if this is the Marriage I had planned for? 

The whole emotional trauma continued as he always beats me up every morning and night saying he had never loved me and that I was the biggest fool on earth to have believed his love for me. He only makes love to me when he feels like it and never considered my own emotions.

The last time he ate my food was the night before our wedding. Indeed I was a fool because I saw those warning signs before getting married to him but I never paid attention to it. Now that my fate has been baptised in the ocean of ‘for Better and for worst”, what should I do?
