The Shift to Control and Abuse
After they moved in together, his behavior changed drastically. He became possessive, dictating her diet, spending habits, and social life. He took her car keys to prevent her from attending university and monitored her every move. When he returned home, he expected all household chores to be done, often criticizing her and comparing her unfavorably to other women—slowly eroding her self-esteem.

Escalation to Physical Violence
His aggression worsened with alcohol and drug use. He began hitting, kicking, and even assaulting her while she was driving. In one horrifying incident, he dragged her down the street while his friends laughed. Though he frequently apologized and promised to change or seek help, he never followed through.
