Readers say they will never forgive a spouse who cheats regularly
Nimi has always been a very supportive wife and would not hesitate to give a helping hand to her husband, Timi, even in very difficult times.
But
she was shocked beyond imagination when she found out that the money
she lent her husband was used to secure an apartment for his mistress.
Read her sad story here:
"My
name is Nimi, a 32-year-old married woman with three lovely kids. I
have been married to Timi for eight years now and we have always had a
happy marriage, or so I thought, because some months ago, I found out
that my husband has been cheating on me severally with different women.
I
have always trusted Timi to the point of discarding any rumour I heard
about him and other women. Even when my close friends told me tales of
how they saw him with one woman or the other, I never believed them
because I felt my husband would never cheat on me.
After
all, I often reasoned, what did the other women have that I do not
have? What could they give him that I could not? I made sure I satisfied
my husband in everything, so what would he be looking for in other
women?

But I now
know that if a man wants to cheat on you, it does not matter what you
do, he will still cheat. This reality dawned on me when I found out that
Timi rented an apartment for his mistress with the money he borrowed
from me.
When we got married, we had made
a vow to support each other and whenever Timi was down and needed
money, I would even take a loan in my office to give to him and vice
versa.
So when he told me about four
months ago that he needed N600,000 to invest in an importation business
he and his friends were going into, I did not hesitate to get him the
money, after all, I believed it would be for the good of the family.
You can then understand my shock when I discovered that he actually used the money to rent an apartment for another woman.
It was my childhood friend, Tolumonye
who told me that she had been seeing my husband in a particular house
on her street and most times, he would stay there for a long time.
I
did not still believe her until she invited me one day to come and see
things for myself. I left my office and went to Tolu's place and she
took me to the compound and lo and behold, I saw Timi's car parked right
there.
I did not want to create a scene
and left with Tolu to her house to wait. Timi left several hours later,
and that was when it dawned on me that he was actually cheating on me.
When
I got home, I did not confront him on my findings but Tolu and I
carried out underground investigations and later realized that it was
Timi who rented the apartment for the woman.
When
I now confronted him with the facts, he confessed that he actually used
the money he borrowed from me to rent the apartment for the woman and
begged for forgiveness.
But I am
shattered and don't think I can ever forgive him for what he did. Timi
has shattered my trust for him and I find it difficult to ever trust him
again.
Nimi."
The teaser for the day was:
How Nigeria voted:
I will never forgive him/her - 41%
I will forgive him/her if he confesses - 35%
That will be the end of the marriage - 24%
What would your vote be here?
