Shirley, aged 54, recounts her life with two police officer husbands. Her first marriage began in her mid-20s, producing two daughters. The first husband was unfaithful, had severe gambling debts exceeding one million HKD, and controlled household finances tightly, causing financial hardship. After years of enduring betrayal and financial strain, Shirley left him. She later met a second police officer via WeChat, initially happy but soon faced deception about his job and frequent drunkenness linked to nightclub visits. Their relationship involved emotional and physical abuse, leading Shirley to question the relationship. She ultimately married him for practical reasons related to his health and legal matters but remained dissatisfied. Shirley advises others in troubled marriages to consider their financial independence and children's welfare when deciding to leave.

Infidelity
The case involves repeated infidelity and financial mismanagement by Shirley's first husband, leading to marital breakdown. The second relationship began as a new start but involved deception, alcohol abuse, and domestic violence, reflecting a pattern of betrayal and control in intimate partnerships.
No criminal charges or police investigations reported. Shirley reported physical abuse to police once; officers found no injury and left. Financial debts and infidelity were central to marital conflict. The second husband's deception about occupation and nightlife habits were uncovered by Shirley through phone checks.
No confusion reported regarding suspect or victim identities. No homicide or criminal charges reported. Some uncertainty about the extent of infidelity and exact financial details.

She met her second husband on WeChat, initially happy, but discovered deception about his job and nightlife. Alcohol abuse and physical abuse occurred, leading to arguments and police involvement.
