The breaking of a woman

It starts with something simple: He thinks her jeans are too tight even though the jeans fit perfectly fine. He doesn’t want other men to look at her and though she thinks it’s cute, soon he is telling her not to wear make-up, where she can go and where she cannot go. He tells her she is nothing without him. He calls her names. It is not long before the beautiful woman who had so much self-confidence and a strong will to face the world is being locked up in her house, isolated from the rest of the world and feeling like she cannot look even her best of friends in the eye.

If one of her friends does try to call or text her, he goes into a rage. Cutting words fly.
