I wanted a Christian man and someone who would not have sex until marriage. I thought a man who believed in that loved me, but I later understood that I was in an emotionally abusive relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hilda mentioned that she stayed in the marriage and sought counselling, but the situation remained the same. She added that their marriage lacked a good foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were married for a while, but it was a difficult time. I relocated to Ghana for about a year and back to the UK.
