I got married without loving my wife. We have been married for two years.

I was married for two years. From the beginning of my marriage, my husband was very violent. He would hit me because of jealousy that was unwarranted.... One day he hit me and left. The same thing happened over and over again. It was a revolving door. When he would get angry, he would leave. [...]
