How do i get rid of my abusive wife?

Living

I have been married for two years but my marriage has been a living hell. My wife is abusive and wants things done her way. I have tried chasing her away but she keeps saying she will leave when she wants. We recently got into a physical fight with me and she used our one-year-old daughter as her shield. I don’t love her anymore and I just want her out of my life even if it means forceful eviction from the home and eventual divorce. What I can do?

YOUR TAKE

You should seek help before it’s too late. The two of you should realize that you are hurting the baby more than anyone else. You need to behave like grown-ups and iron out your issues in a sober manner.

(Pastor Ben Shikuku)

Fighting won’t end your woes. The law is clear on such situations. It’s high time you sought help. Remember she can sue you for assault if you continue fighting her.

(Tasma Charles)

Have you tried to sit her down and understand why she feels things should be done her way? Marriages survive on compromises, so you two should agree on the way forward.

(Onyango Outha Jauduny)

From your confession, it is clear there is a breakdown in communication lines between the two of you. Have you tried to ask her how she feels about this marriage? Learn to listen and compromise.

(Kighambo Danson)

 Both of you should see a marriage counsellor or a pastor. And by the way, your wife could also be complaining in other quarters that you are abusing her.

(Wilberforce Atsia)

Seek help from your parents or your seniors, most marriages survive because of patience and compromise.

(Benjamin Mailu)

COUNSELLOR’S TAKE

Alex, it is tough living with a spouse that you want nothing to do with. However, despite your feelings and her unbecoming and selfish behaviour, it is not only unlawful but also unfair to evict her from your house since she has just as much right as you have with regard to that home. If you cannot stand having her around, it is obviously a lot easier for you to move as you look for ways of solving the prevailing issues or ending the marriage. Nonetheless, I encourage you to seek solutions to the existing problems as opposed to seeking to end the marriage. Any issue that exists between people who love each other can be resolved with the right mediation effort as well as the patience and understanding of both parties.  Wishing her away will not get the job done. It takes a lot to get rid of a woman you are legally married to regardless of the issues you are having. On the other hand, it takes much less emotional, physical and financial strain to resolve issues within a marriage. Give your marriage a fighting chance, get a mediator. If you need help in this regard, please get in touch with me for some references.
