Readers say they won't forgive an abusive spouse

Marriage is meant to last as long as the couple live, for better for worse, but as human beings, there is a limit to what one can tolerate from a spouse.

So yesterday on Pulse Nigeria Poll, our poser was: Would you forgive a spouse that beats you up in public?

The response we had was quite interesting as a majority of those who voted agreed that they would never forgive such a partner.

In fact, 77.8% said they would not forgive the spouse while a minority, 22.2%, said they would play the tolerant card and forgive the abusive partner.

This is how Nigeria voted:

22.2% - Yes

77.8% - No

Now it is your turn to join in the debate.
