I was talking to the x husband earlier today and somehow we got on the topic of religion. He said he was reading a book on Islam and that Islam taught that husbands could hit their wives. He said he could not believe that men would hit their wives and that it was wrong to hit or hurt anyone physically. He did not even blink an eye as he was talking. All I did was listen and made no comments and did not remind him of what he did to me for fear he would flip out.

I did not remind him of the "death grip" he had around my throat, or the three other times I called the police on him. Or how he controlled the money and how his son went many a times without diapers because I had to wait till he bought them. And the time when the x's brother was tucking in our son's shirt (son was 4 at the time) and in surprise asked why he was not wearing any under pants. I said he did not have any. He handed me $100 and told me to go get him some. The x did not even say one word. I know, these r just small things, but u see, hundreds of small things add up. The things i mention are just a tip off the ice berg, however that expression goes. ok off topic again.

Anyway, the x acted oooo so innocent. Like he would never harm anyone, let alone hit a woman. I guess what he said still bothers me. 4am, my stomach is burning and I can't sleep. I feel, i don't even know how i feel. maybe needing a reality check. Maybe his dreams will haunt him, the many times he "hurt" me. Maybe I will wake up to find it all was a dream.

oo to any who r muslim or have studied islam, please do not bite me, for i am not the one that made the comment. the x husband, who happened to be raised in a muslim country, said it. if u want to debate it, debate it with him. i do not debate religions.. ty
