I am a young woman of 23, I got married when I was 18. My mother really wanted me to get married to reduce her burden. She told me a friend of hers was looking for a wife for her son who lived abroad. My mother accepted to marry me off before telling me. I was not happy about the idea because I wanted to go to school.
My mother assured me my husband would send me to school. I accepted to marry a man I had never seen. Things turned out to be going well, my unseen husband to be sent my family money and we lived well. My mother taught me how to be a good wife as I waited for my husband to be. My husband finally came and I got married to a 48 year old man.
We moved to Lagos after our marriage. My husband rented a flat and he was only around for 7 months before going back to Germany. I did not know much about my hubby. I became pregnant, it was a thing of joy and my mother was with me till I put to birth. I gave birth to a baby girl. My husand returned one year after I gave birth, I was not finding my marriage to be fun. My mother encouraged me telling me to hold on for my husband.
My husband travelled again, leaving me and my baby. He promised to take me along when next he returned.
I continued to be a good wife untill a new occupant moved into my compound. He was a very cute and caring guy, my daugther also liked him. He usually came around to check on us, sometimes my daugther and I would visit him in the evening when he comes back from work. Our friendship continued and we took it to the next level. I must confess, I enjoyed my neighbour more than my hubby. I was so carried away, I did not know how I got pregnant with my neighbour's child.
I told him about the pregnancy and suggested terminating it but my dear neighbour has refused to accept my idea. I do not want my husband to find out about this. How could he suggest I keep his child?
