Man Beats Wife on Wedding Night After Failing to Get Her DRESS OFF

I'll apologize for the caps at the end of that NYPost title...
NO, I won't. This guy seemed to fail at a lot more than the
usual mechanical dexterity involved with disrobing. I hoped
by the wedding night we could work a zipper-- but evidently
the guy grew up with Velcro, and possibly was also raised by lizards.

The article didn't surprise me-- but I'm very disappointed these
two were evidently not together long enough for the lady to
attain the proper amount of insight into this guy's flaw...
and it seems a whopper. I'm also glad she's getting away quickly.

It was a dream wedding, a romantic ceremony, with the
bride looking resplendent in white. Yet it turned into an
abject nightmare for the beautiful bride, 22-year-old Amy
Dawson.
After a delightful ceremony in St. Mary’s Church in the
village of West Rainton in County Durham, England, the
reception for Dawson and her new husband, her long-
term partner and father of her child, Gavin Golightly,
in nearby Beamish Hall was full of love and laughter.

Then, at 12:55 a.m. the following morning, the newlyweds
decided to retire to bed and Dawson asked Golightly to
help take off her wedding dress. Instead, he attacked her
and she thought she was going to die.

Here's the link, but it seems kind of anticlimactic. THAT is
about as far as I'm willing to foray int a double entendre' today.
nypost.com...

It's stories like this that make me look for a forum with one
black heart and one broken in the avatar. We haven't one yet.

EDIT 1 :: Articles like this, more often than not: make me want to
post-and-run.. or maybe accept a few points shaved for shock value.
But coming back to the scene of this crime kind of hurts to watch.

Try not to marry psychopaths and control freaks, people.

Evaluating a spouse? What they do for a paycheck matters.
Professional killers and authoritarians tend to treat you like they treat their subjects.

That is not an opinion. It is fact.

Yeah that's disgusting. Love is wonderful but I truly wish both sexes would be more careful when choosing a partner. Good luck to the next woman who goes with him...

And also I hope the lady doesn't bite into a time-release
Cherry Surprise the next time .. if there is indeed a next.

I wish her the best. No women deserves a guy who delivers beatings. Same way around but I'd have to say more like verbal assaults. Ack, I guess some women get Mr. Amazing and some get I Married An Axe Murderer lol.

And this is just the honeymoon.
Imagine how he will react when she puts mayo on his sandwich instead of Miracle Whip.
or,
Since it is UK, Vegemite instead of Marmite on his toast.

I'm glad she got smart and divorced him. Somebody should give him more of the same.

She mentions something along the lines of "a new start..." from what?
I bet this has happened before, and he thought he could get away with it because he most likely has the mindset of 'she's mine now'. Alcohol was definitely a major factor, but as the old saying goes drunk words and actions are sober thoughts. He should have been given jail time.

No jail time!? Geez!

At least they should be getting counseled...

If this story was about a muslim man, it would be on the front page of ATS, and people would be calling for Mecca to be turned into glass.

Luckily, this is just a homegrown case of spouse abuse.
Nothing to see, move along.

Apparently she knew he was controlling and could be a bit of a jerk, according to an article I read last night. Like most victims, she obviously didn't see him taking it to the "abusive" level. This is a shame. Either he was good at hiding it, or she was blind to seeing it. I know I was while I was married and it took my ex attacking me in our last year of marriage and me leaving to open my eyes. I was married for 18 1/2 years. It was mainly verbal and emotional abuse. I guess I always wrote it off, not thinking clearly. I truly don't know. Then in the last year it became assault. I honestly didn't see it coming, but by then I was so worn down, I truly wanted him to kill me. I'll be honest, when he was choking me, and I blacked out, I was disappointed when I came to. I was ready to die. I was that severely depressed. Years of abuse can do that to you.

Time for a divorce....run and don't look back! I hope and pray the woman does heal.

Psyco's like her (soon to be ) x-husband are very good actors...until they think they have the power...then their true colors show.

a reply to: derfreebie

Bra-straps are the bane of my existence but I am able to internalize that!

*shakes head* Domestic violence makes me very sad :/

Here's another source with more detail about there relationship before it happened.
www.mirror.co.uk...

When I first met Gavin, he was lovely, I couldn’t fault him. He was caring and loving, and when we found we were having baby, we were delighted. I fell pregnant after eight months, but almost straight away, Gavin became controlling and manipulative. It was like walking on eggshells. When he lashed out at me on my wedding night, I thought I was going to die. I was terrifed. He looked like he was going to kill me.

Seems like it's something that started earlier and kept building up.

I'm not sure what else to say...I hate any of this kind of thing happening. No one should be hurt by someone they trust.

Hey, macho Troglodytes like this guy have enough trouble unhooking bra straps, let alone using a crochet hook to remove the stitches of a wedding dress that the bride was apparently sewn into!

Admittedly it goes in both directions as well. I was on the
other side of a wedding ring and her personality changed...
almost remarkably.
Although a few close friends said before the blessed event
some things like Sir Lawrence "FOR GOD'S sake reconsider, "
I was already committed.
Maybe too much of a gentleman to return fire. But I can,
when conditions warrant become icy like a steppe in November.

I hadn't thought about her being sewn in.
On the other hand I love a challenge... and
improvisation is the daughter of inversion.
Just more of an excuse otherwise to take Major Fairbairn
in well honed condition to the torture chamber.. zip, you're free.

EDIT:: At the outset I hadn't at all expected this article
to elicit the S&F of East Ukrainian lunatics fueling some
red tipped missiles.. but thanks to everybody who showed up
and weighed in. This is a subject that grates my sensibilities
like few others.

Would that be before or after the honor killing?

Thank you. It's amazing how much degradation can whither a soul. I am back, as much as I can be, anyway, and healing more and more everyday.
