" It’s not like this country makes it easy for women to leave abusive relationships. No matter what, she was going to be judged. And it’s not just the prejudice of the community, there’s also the sense of failure in yourself, the question of your own judgment. If I was dumb enough to marry this person, can I be trusted to do anything right? Leaving is hard, admitting failure is also hard. "
