- Man shares ordeal with wife 

I married my wife with a clean heart. loved her genuinely. I trusted her completely. When I travelled to Europe, life was not easy.

People think once you reach Europe, money grows on trees. That is a l+e. I s¥ff£red. I worked like a machine.

Jobs that broke my back. Jobs that paid little but drained everything from me. I slept late and woke up early Sometimes I ate once a day. Sometimes I cr!£d alone in my room.

But I kept going because I had one goal to bring my wife to Europe so we could build a better life together. I did everything the right way. Legal papers. Marriage documents. Immigration forms. Lawyers' fees. Endless appointments.

Every money I made went into that process. I d£n!ed myself clothes, enjoyment, happiness just so she could come.

When her visa was finally approved, I felt like a king. I was proud. I felt like a real man. I told everyone, "My wife is coming." I imagined peace, love, family, growth.

The day she arrived, I was so happy I almost cr!ed at the airport. I carried her bags like treasure. I showed her the city. I told her, "This is our new life."

I gave her everything. I gave her my house - the same house I struggled to pay rent for. I registered things jointly. I introduced her to my friends. I helped her settle. I supported her emotionally and financially.

But slowly... things changed. Europe changed her. She was no longer the woman I married back home. She became cold. She became proud. She became someone I could not recognize.

She started talking to me with anger. Everything annoyed her. My job, my money, my silence, even my breathing. She compared me with other men and told me I was not doing enough....

......Once the marriage was gone, my stay was gone too. Everything I worked for collapsed. She stayed in Europe. I was deported.

I went back home with nothing. Not even pride. People said, "But you were in Europe." They didn't know Europe d£str©y€d me. The p@in was not only losing my wife. It was losing myself. Up till today, the question still burns inside me:

Was loving her my biggest m!st@ke?
