A man was left in "unbearable, searing pain" and scarred for life when his wife poured boiling water over him.
Ken Gregory, 65, from Peterborough, sustained first and second degree burns to 14% of his body in March last year.
He has encouraged male victims of domestic violence to speak out, saying: "Being attacked by a woman is nothing to be ashamed of."
His now ex-wife Teresa Gilbertson, 60, is awaiting sentencing having been convicted of grievous bodily harm.
Mr Gregory met Gilbertson seven years ago after the death of his first wife of 30 years, Maureen.
On the day of the attack Mr Gregory had intended to visit his first wife's grave as it was her birthday, but instead the couple argued and agreed to divorce.
Gilbertson went to make a cup of tea but returned with a jug of boiling water which she poured over his head from behind.
Peterborough Crown Court heard she said "there you go", as she tipped it over her husband.
