One woman revealed that her husband ignored one of her requests and grabbed her head by the neck to smash her face in their wedding cake.
The woman wrote into US magazine Slate’s advice column Dear Prudence, under the moniker Give Him Til February, and explained how she got married just before Christmas but is now hoping to get a divorce or annulment before the end of January due to her husband’s disrespect.
He told her the day following her wedding, it was “over”, but she shared with him that during Christmas vacations many of her friends encouraged her to give him another chance.
Journalist Jenée Desmond-Harris who writes the Agony Aunt column advised her to continue with the divorce, and even questioned her friends writing: ‘Make a mental note about which of your loved ones don’t seem to value your happiness’.

This column is now viral with many people being shocked at the behavior of the husband.
Give Him Til February explained: ‘I never cared about getting married, but I wasn’t opposed to it. We decided to get married when our boyfriend proposed in 2020. Each of us took about half of the responsibility to organize the wedding. However, I thought I was quite reasonable in accepting compromises when he truly wanted it. He refused to eat cake at my wedding reception. That was the only rule I had.
‘Being a reasonable man who knows me well, he didn’t. He grabbed me at the back of my head, and he pushed my head into the cake. He had several cupcakes to backup his plan since the cake was destroyed.
After explaining how she had left, she said that everyone was pleading with her for a second chance.
The newly-wed also questioned if she as overreacting because she’s ‘very claustrophobic’ following a car accident and that she ‘absolutely panicked’ after being shoved into a cake.
According to her, she says that while she loves him, it is not the same as feeling that way right now. Her friends also tell her that divorce was a mistake.
Numerous people replied saying that it was a red flag and that the wishes of Mrs. Smith were not respected.
Now, the column is viral with many people stunned by his behavior.
“Not cool. Doubt this was his initial red flag, but it should be the final. One person said, “RUN!”
Another added, “It seems like he is stating right from the beginning that it doesn’t matter how she feels or what her requests are, so I am team divorce,”
“She should’ve told him how expensive a wedding cake is.” Still, I think less than the imminent divorcement which should absolutely be taking place,” said another.
‘This is how women are conditioned to put up with c***’ commented a fourth.
‘If this actually happened she is right to divorce him and so would I. I can’t imagine thinking I need to tell the person I’m marrying not to do that, “Please do not physically assault and humiliate me at the public celebration of our love, for which I will have had my hair and makeup professionally styled and will be wearing a more expensive than normal outfit, thank you”‘ wrote another in a series of tweets.
“She established a boundary, and he broke it,” one person said. She’s right to dump his a**,’ tweeted another.
“If he doesn’t recognize the importance of claustrophobia in her early stages, then he won’t care about it later.” One said, “Run girl!”
Demonstrations of contempt can be the most telling sign that your marriage is doomed. You need to get that Monday-morning divorce.
“Red Flag” is a term that refers to a situation in which a person sets a clear line of communication with their partner about an issue, especially a physical one, but they then flagrantly or deliberately break it in front a group of people.
‘DOne said, “Yes, you can divorce him but also maybe arrest him.” Another added, “Not only divorce. She must press charges of battery.
