I married a guy that got his cookies off by beating the crap out of, and raping me.
He had already beaten me once prior to our getting married. But I had zero belief in myself, and I married him anyway.
I was beaten until bloody & bruised, at least a couple times per month, minimum. A standard reason would be that he would show up anytime between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m. and expect dinner to be piping hot--as opposed to a plate made, waiting for him in the fridge.
Another valid reason for busting my lip, bloodying my nose, and blackening my eyes, would be that I *talked back*, i.e. disagreed with him sometimes.
He often demanded sex, anytime of the day or night and would take it--whether I wanted to or not. Once when he was particularly angry he beat me, messing up my face, cracking my ribs and finishing off by raping me with a wine bottle.
Another time, he beat me until there was so much blood that when I picked up our infant son in order to flee, the baby, who was clad only in a diaper due to warm weather, was bloody from head to toe (with my blood).
I am sorry that the woman you loved used you as she did. It's enough to make one angry and bitter. Please try not to be. There are many good, decent people in the world. She just wasn't one of them. You can find a good-hearted lady. Just don't give up, or give in to pessimism.
It's worth it to get yourself back out there, and stay in the game.
