The correct answer is Maddened—he wanted a divorce, and she would not agree to it.

He lied and even left her for a year, hoping that she would divorce him, but since she didn't want to be the "wife that got divorced" she stayed with him, even after he said that he was kidnapped by pirates which was a blatant lie.

rewona [7]
Sally threw her bike and ran towards the house. Her salty tears stained her cheeks as she was sobbing. She just managed to get away from the monsters, the people that tore her to the ground and punched her everyday. All she wanted was to go to the store to buy some groceries because her mom died when she was only 6 and her dad is a drunk mess. Her dad didn’t know about the bullies, Ericka and Everlyn, but she doubted he even cared. As she sprinted down the street, she heard the mimicking voices behind her.
