‘The Man Behind’: Anisha’s Ex-Husband Threatened To Disfigure Her Face If She Left Him. Why Can’t Men Handle Breakups With Maturity?
I have had my fair share of failed relationships and I won’t get into the hows, whys, and what-ifs of those relationships. But, I will talk about one of those breakups right now. I was around 19 years old when I decided to break up with the guy I was dating at the time. Keeping my reasons to myself because honestly, they don’t matter. What matters is how he reacted to this. My ex went ballistic over the news. It started with him crying, pleading, and begging over calls and escalated to calls at 3 AM in the morning, threats that he will kill himself, and screaming on the other end of the call. I remember being scared and the anxiety it gave me still stops me from taking calls from unknown numbers. So why am I telling you this? Because after seeing Anisha’s story in The Man Behind, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the bitter fact that many men lack the emotional intelligence and maturity to actually handle rejection and breakups.

Anisha’s story reminds me how easy it is for men to threaten women with things that can alter their entire lives. And how easily they can do that. And I don’t only want to villainise men because I have heard my fair share of stories about women who couldn’t handle breakups maturely either. It is simple, don’t get into a relationship if you can’t deal with the possibility of it ending. No one owes you a relationship and they have the right to change their mind and walk away when they want to, regardless of the reason.
