Marriage is so fragile...

Marriage is so fragile and no longer a beliefs like what we once used to know - happy ever after or until eternal death. Yesterday I received a call from a high school friend, funniest thing is we hardly keep in touch. She message me via Facebook to get my mobile number. Thinking that it was just a casual call but it ended up something I really felt sad about to hear this news from her. She was such a bright student back in our high school days, since remove classes up till form 5, she was all along the class monitor. Upon completing SPM, I knew that she went to TAR college to obtain her diploma. After graduating, she was attached with Citibank for at least 6 years. She married to her high school sweetheart and had a beautiful baby boy. Back in 2010, I met up with her and few of our classmates in the Curve, only to found out that her marriage did not turn out well and her husband and the entire family had moved on tho China. She did not followed, instead she stayed back in Malaysia with her son. Spoke to her that time and also advise that she should give it another try on her marriage to work things out for the sake of her boy. A year later, she finally decided to move over to China with her boy to join her hubby, she quit her job then. But it did not last very long, I think she was there for around 6 months and she moved back to KL with her son. I did not asked her about her marriage. 3 years ago, I saw her Facebook status stating that she had finally let go and moved on with her new life and new career - an airstewerdess with MAS. Exciting and challenging job, from then on I will often see her posting pictures of the places that she visited. 2012 November, she finally post up her pics with her newly found partner. I'm so happy for her as she finally found happiness in her life. But to my shock, she called yesterday and broke me the news that she is currently separated with her new hubby. Without thinking further, I asked her what happened. She told me that, in the 1st month they got married,he raised his hands on her and her boy. Ended up lodging a police report and now is awaiting for court case. She even quit her job as a stewerdess, as he is calling her a prostitute or a hore. All this happened only after their marriage. She does everything to gain his insecurity but it did not work. He even went to the extend to hack her Facebook, email and phone account to ensure that she is not seeing someone else. As I know she told me that she had moved back to stay with her mum. Things that I could do is only to lend my ears to her and gave advises as all this happened to her had eventually happened on me in my previous marriage. Thinking that she will find herself more relax and less emotion, she blurted out the news that she is currently pregnant. Worst was, that man even says things like you are a dirty women and you should not bear a child. It was so sad to hear that she is going thru what I gone thru before. I told her to think twice befor any act as it will be a very very very difficult path for her in the future. Marriage is just a piece of paper to someone who doesn't cherish it. We learnt from mistakes and improve from there. But I really didn't expect a friendly and kind person like her will have to go thru this not once but twice. Indra... My prayers will be with you.. Stay strong and I will always be there for you if you need me. As I personally walk thru this path myself and I understand how difficult it could be to face friends and relatives. The hurt and the betrayal from someone you love and thinks that he loves you will never be able to explain to those who haven't gone thru this. Guidance to your boy and the child that you are currently bearing will need extra effort in order to lead them growing up in a healthy and happy relationship in the future.
