A Story On #16DaysOfActivism by Annie Enelesi Miliki

I thought he loved me!! I really thought he loved me.  After carrying his child and being his bottom bitch for six years I really was not expecting him to have an affair with that wretch of a girl I used to call my friend. Arrgh ,  I’m a ball of emotions right now.

I met TT a few years ago. He was my high school sweetheart. We went to the same high school and we were just the sweetest couple, or so I chose to believe because he had other girls on the side.’ Oh well who cares?’ I thought. I was the main squeeze, the one he always came back to. TT loved me so much that every time I tried to move on when our on and off relationship had taken a break he would always come back.

On my last year of college I fell pregnant and we decided to get married. I chose to ignore all the other women he was cheating with. I had won I was the wife hehe. When he came with his family to pay the bride price my father did not like him at all. That should have been a warning sign, but I was young and in love and I was about to have the most wonderful experiences a woman can ever have. I was going to be a mum, share my whole life with TT the man I love.

So after 3 years of successfully ignoring all the signs of him cheating on me we had this heated argument and it got physical. He insulted me he even had the guts to insult my mother. I was so angry and hurt. I remember my grandmother telling me that men usually do that when there is another woman.

So I started my investigations hey. I spoke to my best friend about it. She told me I was over reacting but something in my gut told me to keep fishing.  This went on for a month. I began to notice that the relationship with my husband was fading. The marriage we had was defined by that certificate we were given on the 20^th of December a few years ago. He stopped touching me and we never made love when we did it was just so that he gets rid of an erection. He wouldn’t even kiss me, it was as if I was that cheap prostitute he hired for 30minutes.

Then last week he forgot his phone and there were these whatsapp messages that kept coming in. I tried to ignore them but my curiosity got the better of me. I decided to go through the messages and found chats between him and my so called best friend. THEY WERE HAVING AN AFFAIR!!! I wish I could tell you more but I am still in shock, I am hurt I dunno what to do? I was told talking about it would make me feel better so Doctor X what do I do??
