Seeking Legal Advice in Tumultuous Relationship
Dear PAO,
I find myself in a challenging situation with my husband as I recently discovered his involvement in extramarital affairs with multiple women. The first instance of this betrayal occurred a mere two months after our marriage. Despite my initial shock and hurt, he ended the affair. However, this pattern repeated itself, with him engaging in yet another affair after some time. The constant cycle of betrayal has taken a toll on my emotional well-being, leaving me feeling emotionally abused and deeply depressed. I struggle to sleep and have lost my appetite.
As a result of my husband’s actions and their impact on my mental health, I took the step of lodging a complaint against him at the barangay. During our meeting, he denied that his affairs were the root cause of my emotional distress. He went as far as suggesting that I may be suffering from psychological issues and demanded proof to hold him accountable for emotional abuse.
Given the complexities of emotional abuse and its legal repercussions, it is crucial to seek legal guidance to understand your rights and options in such situations.
