There are moments that define a relationship.

Sometimes they’re small acts of love, other times they’re revelations that expose the rot hidden beneath the surface of “happily ever after”.

A simple video became the trigger that exposed a disgusting truth: a husband who deliberately sabotaged his wife’s computer for two years, isolating her from family, and then laughed about it as if it were a joke.

Control always starts subtly. A comment here, a “suggestion” there, and suddenly you’re isolated, doubting your own perceptions.

This woman spent two years believing her computer was broken when in reality, it was her marriage that was rotten.

The most disturbing part? He revealed this as if it were a funny prank, a joke for entertainment. Since when is fucking with someone’s mental health for two years entertaining?

She couldn’t play online with her siblings. Couldn’t study properly. And because she had no money of her own — another red flag — she couldn’t buy a new computer.

Perfect for a 38-year-old man who wants to control a 24-year-old woman.
