I 26 M married 26 F around 1 year ago in an arranged setup. It was good in the beginning but over the last few months, her constant mood swings and aggressive nature has ruined our relationship. She had a lot of family trauma in the past, so I keep tying to calm her down, but our frequency of fights have increased - no 2 consecutive days go ever without a fight (small or big). Coming to the main point- it all started in Jan, when she slapped me and I thought it was a playful thing even though I was shook. We had a discussion and she sweared never to do it again (she did it again the next day). Now this slap has transformed to holding my neck, showing knife, kicking and just now she took a chair and smashed in my face. Last week “playfully/unknowingly” gave me a 2nd degree burn using a hot iron. She says she hates me but cannot leave because of parental and societal pressure. I try to document all her nasty chats towards me, instances of abuse etc. My parents know about this, but I know they are not gonna talk to ger parents. What are the next best steps? she might take drastic actions against herself if I even start the seperation procedure. submitted by /u/Mysterious-File-3354
