The room fell into a heavy silence, and I found myself staring at her, an unsettling mixture of emotions swirling within me. It was a stark realization that I could no longer control her through fear and intimidation, not without descending into further cruelty and abuse , a path I despised.

In that moment of clarity, I couldn't deny the truth any longer. I had become the monster in her eyes, the very thing I had sworn to become.
But I didn't know it would be this suffocating to be the monster in her eyes,even though that's what I vowed to be.

The woman I hated, the one I had promised ruin , had grown stronger in my absence, resilient in the face of my abuse.

As I looked at her, I saw the toll my actions had taken on her spirit, the fire of her determination burning brighter than ever. It was a humbling and shattering moment of reckoning. I had lost her trust-if there was any, her respect-which I'm sure is void , and the flicker of love I saw when she hugged me in the car telling about how her day went at the school, the flicker of love I saw when we move around the hustling cities during our honeymoon , and it was a price I had paid for my own cruelty.

With a heavy heart, I realized that there was no turning back from the path I had taken. The only choice left was to confront the darkness within myself and seek redemption for the pain I had caused. But deep down, I feared that it might already be too late, that the damage I had wrought was irreparable.

As I stood there, a sense of emptiness settled over me, and I knew that the road to redemption would be long and arduous. But it was a path I was determined to walk, if only to find a way to heal the wounds of the past and salvage what remained of our shattered relationship.

Choosing to stay away from her became my desperate solution, a way to mitigate the damage I had already done. It was a painful decision, but I couldn't ignore the stark reality that our presence together only seemed to perpetuate the cycle of pain and abuse.

So, I retreated from our shared life, seeking solace in my work and other distractions. I left the house for extended periods-leaving early in the morning and coming back in the cloak of darkness, burying myself in the demands of my career, hoping that time and distance would heal the wounds between us.

The days turned into weeks, and then months, with little to no contact between us. I watched from a distance, unable to escape the haunting knowledge of the torment I had inflicted upon her. The guilt weighed heavily on my conscience, a constant reminder of my past sins.

Yet, I couldn't help but wonder if this separation was what she needed to rebuild her life. Perhaps, in the absence of my oppressive presence, she would find the strength to heal and rediscover herself. It was a glimmer of hope, a fragile thread that I clung to as I grappled with the consequences of my actions.

But the emptiness of the house, once filled with our voices, echoed with the hollowness of my choices. And as the days stretched into an uncertain future, I couldn't escape the nagging question of whether redemption and reconciliation were even possible after all that had transpired.

The abyss of my guilt and self-loathing seemed insurmountable, and I spiraled further into darkness. My actions had torn apart the fabric of my life, leaving me adrift in a sea of pain and regret.

Addiction became my refuge, a way to numb the torment that gnawed at my soul. I frequented the bars, drowning my sorrows in alcohol and trying to escape the reality I had created. The neon lights and raucous laughter of the establishments provided a temporary respite from the weight of my mistakes.

But it wasn't just the bars that consumed me. I sought refuge in the arms of nameless women, seeking a fleeting connection that could distract me from the emptiness that engulfed me. Brothels became a place of fleeting pleasure, a futile attempt to fill the void that had grown within me.
