In her divorce petition, Linda detailed her distress over Felix’s behavior, describing how he often insists on sexual relations late at night, showing little regard for her comfort or feelings. She recounted episodes where, despite her anguish and resistance, he would not back down. Linda also mentioned that she had left their home three months ago, and despite efforts from Felix’s relatives to convince her to return, they remain unaware of the depth of her distress.
