He couldn’t take it anymore and went straight to the police.
This serviceman arrived at a police station with video evidence of the physical attack he had just suffered at the hands of his wife. It was not an isolated incident: behind it were years of abuse and the recent discovery that she had been unfaithful to him the entire time he was deployed serving his country.
While he was telling the officer everything, he saw her arrive. She had tracked him down there. The officer went out to hear her, but instead of explaining what had happened that afternoon, the woman broke down crying, shifted the conversation to the last three years of their marriage, and began making accusations against him.
The officer did not let himself be sidetracked and kept asking the same question again and again. Finally, she had no way out: she admitted that she had laid hands on him. Three years of silence came to an end in minutes, in front of an officer who was not satisfied with tears.
