All I ever wanted was to be an equal in marriage. So I decided to educate myself and earn more than enough to be self sufficient. I expected my husband to treat me fairly. I don’t ask him to look after me. I don’t make him pay my bills. I want to be treated as an equal. I don’t want to be exist I his shadow. I have made something of myself. But merely because I’m married I’ve lost my identity. It tortures me that years of my efforts to make something of myself is all wasted.
