Story for the night…‘She was my closest friend until she moved to the United States 11 years ago after winning a scholarship. Some years back, I lost my parents and life became very tough for me. We had also lost touch during that time. I couldn’t afford university and had to drop out. That same year, I met my husband. He had just finished school and started working as a primary school teacher.
We are not officially married yet, but he has been saving up for our wedding. We currently have three children together. I was completely surprised when I got a friend request from my friend on social media. She explained that she found my profile and sent the request, adding that she hadn’t been able to reach me because I wasn’t using my real name online. After 11 years apart, we were both excited to reconnect. I told her about our difficult situation, how hard things were for my family, and about our three kids.
She was happy for me and even offered to help me get my papers ready so I could join her overseas. However, I asked her to help my husband instead. I felt it was better for him, as the man, to get on his feet first, and that it wouldn’t be right for me, a woman, to leave my future husband behind and move abroad. She agreed to the plan. All the necessary steps were taken when she came home for a visit. It was even simpler because she wasn’t married. I agreed to let her legally marry my husband so he could get his immigration papers quickly and easily.
Three years later, my husband finally traveled, and our life greatly improved. Our children attend excellent schools, and the house we live in now belongs to us. My husband built it last year; it’s a very nice, modern apartment. I also manage a second property with four large apartments and collect the rent. Both houses are registered in my name. Additionally, a large retail boutique shop was opened for me.
To summarize the rest of the story, five years have passed. I cannot believe that these two have been secretly having an affair all this time. They have been trying to soothe my conscience with money. As of now, this woman, my former best friend, is reportedly two months pregnant with my husband’s child, and they already have two children together!
This is the same woman I once called my best friend. She knows how much love my husband and I have for each other, yet she chose to use her money and status to steal my man from me. I am devastated, confused, and I don’t know what to do. I have three kids with this man. Where am I supposed to begin again at the age of 30? 😭😭😭
I deeply love my husband, and he loves me too. Even if I agree to let him go, what man would want to marry me at this age? Worse still, who would want to take on three children with another man?
Patricia! Please, I want my husband back; I don’t want your money. We were happy and doing well before you came into our lives. My children and I need their father. Patricia, we do not want your money or anything to do with you. I love my husband and he loves me. I am begging you to please leave him and send him back to us. I am so hurt and feel depressed because of this woman, my own best friend 😭😭.”
