7 Years ago,I married my husband after dating for 3 years. At the time we got married,things were tight for us financially. I got pregnant immediately and I could not work cos I was very sick. In that time,my husband had to take a contract in Benue state.
We needed the money so he had to go even though I was heavily pregnant and sickly. Then,mobile phones were not so reliable. I missed my husband so much. Even when I had my baby,he was not around. He came once in a month but I felt really lonely.
After that contract,more contracts came for him successively in Benue and Abuja. He was travelling alot. Our kid practically grew up seeing dad once on a month or two. My needs too suffered. I thought if I went back to work,I would focus on the job and not miss him so much.
I got a job as a PA. And everything was cool but my boss was having issues with his wife who was a career woman. Before you could say jack:we bonded over the absence of our spouses at the time and we started having an affair. It killed me to betray my husband but I couldn’t understand how he would stay without sx* for months …I low key suspected he was cheating but I never had proof.
Eventually, my husband found out I was cheating cos one day he came into town when I was not expecting him. He came to pick me up from work to surprise me and got there only to find out that I was not at work. He was told by security that I had closed and gone home.
He got home and waited outside for me to return:only for him to see me being dropped off by my boss around 11pm,after giving me a k!ss. My husband went livid and I thought our marriage was over. I tried to lie but he swore that it was truly over except I told the truth. I wanted to save my marriage so I told him everything.
I told him how I was lonely and its been more than 3 years since he lived with us. I told him I was sorry…there was no excuse but I was emotionally deprived. It took us a while but my husband eventually forgave me.
