In the clip, Peleteiro denounced the repeated rapes and psychological abuse of his ex-partner, whom he did not name, before explaining that despite everything it was difficult for him to break up with him.

“I would wake up at night having sex without consent,” she said. And still I stayed. Absolutely everything about me changed, from my clothes to my hair, the way I behaved with my family, distancing myself from so many people. And still I stayed.

‘He told me that if we didn’t have sex when he wanted, it would damage the relationship and that, after all, those who don’t eat at home eat out. And (he said) that if he later cheated on me I shouldn’t be surprised. And still I stayed.

‘If I went to his house on weekends, he would disappear and suddenly I wouldn’t know anything at all.

‘And all weekend he would say good morning to me, maybe sporadically one day, and apologize saying that he needed his space and that I had to trust him and let him do those things because that was normal in a relationship. . And still I stayed.

‘Every time I suspected he was talking to another girl, whether he was trying or about to discover an infidelity, he told me I was completely crazy, that it was all fabrications in my head,’ she explained. .

‘I discovered hundreds of emails from her ex-partner deleting hers, driving her crazy, telling me she was obsessed with him. And still I stayed.

‘He received letters from his lovers at home. And many times he received the letters and out of mistrust he read them and said that they were obsessed with him. And still I stayed.”

Peleteiro concluded her video by highlighting why she had opened up about her situation and insisted that there is a way out for women who find themselves in a similar situation.

‘I’m not going to continue (this video) because I think it’s enough, but I just wanted to do it so that if you identify with any of these signs, please run away,’ he said.

‘You will never be happy and they are hurting you a lot. Try going to therapy because leaving a relationship with a narcissist is very complicated, since they reduce your self-esteem to minus 20.

“But with help and with loving people around you, you can go out and start over and live a real, good, beautiful life.”
