Woman Posts Offensive Texts From Her Ex-Husband To Help Women In Abusive Relationships

Some abusive relationships hide in plain sight, and the outside version can look nothing like the reality behind closed doors.

In this story, one woman shared screenshots of her ex-husband's offensive texts to show how controlling and cruel the relationship had become. She is no longer with him, but she wanted other women to recognize the warning signs before things go too far.

The messages are hard to read, and the reason she kept them makes the story even more unsettling.

First, he’d repeatedly send her a barrage of paranoid text messages while she was at work, even though he knew she wasn’t permitted to have her phone with her during her shift.

Another message shows Adam cross-examining her about her colleague, Tony, who changed her tire once.

It’s a different kind of fallout, but it echoes the AITAH where someone confronted their sister-in-law for meddling in a failed marriage.

The following message reveals that he actually set traps to see if she was sleeping at home or not. She had slept at a female friend’s home that night.

Then we find out that Adam also physically assaulted Kristy and told her not to inform her family about it, even though they could see the marks.

Adam even made Kristy take pictures to prove that she wasn’t dishonest about her whereabouts.

He also forced her to step outside at midnight every night to talk on the phone. Despite her best efforts to comply with his absurd demands, he still criticized her and even told her that she couldn’t come home anymore.

“Adam wasn’t always this way. He used to be kind and loving,” Kristy says. Then she lost weight and found a job. That’s when the abuse started.

“I finally got the courage to leave when he hurt my dog and kitten,” she said. “Three years later, and I’m actually doing great… I save these text messages to remind myself how far I’ve come.”

Before you judge Kristy’s ex, see if her sister’s divorce drama boundaries were “wrong” in this AITAH about refusing to get pulled into her sister’s messy divorce.
