I’m in Love with My Father-in-Law Because My Husband Abandoned Me for Six Years
My name is Abigail. I got married at 17 and had two kids before I turned 20. My husband is the only child of his parents; his mother passed away, but his father is alive and active at 58 years old. We’ve lived in the family house together since we got married, with my father-in-law being a quiet and responsible man who minds his business.
When I turned 20, my husband revealed he had been processing his travel papers without informing me. I was upset and against the idea of being separated from him, but he left anyway. Since then, my life has been a mix of loneliness and frustration.
Initially, we communicated daily, but that dwindled to weekly, then monthly, and eventually, no contact at all. My husband wouldn’t answer my calls or check in on his kids. Meanwhile, I was left to care for our children with no support from him. My father-in-law stepped in, paying school fees and giving me money for upkeep. He even suggested I learn catering, funded my training, and set up a shop for me. Thanks to him, I built a career and began living a fulfilled life.
However, the absence of my husband still weighed on me. Four years into his disappearance, I discovered on social media that he had married a white woman abroad. Furious, I commented on his post, asking why he had abandoned me and our kids. He deleted the comment and blocked me. That day, I cried until my father-in-law comforted me, telling me to stay strong.
In all those years, I had remained faithful despite my feelings of loneliness and desire for intimacy. My kids had even started calling their grandfather "Daddy." Then, my father-in-law invited me to accompany him to a corporate event in South Africa. He handled all the preparations, and I left my kids with my elder sister for the trip.
The event was amazing. We had a great time at the party, and later, he took me clubbing, where he treated me with care and respect. Afterward, he dropped me at my room without any inappropriate behavior. The next day, we spent time at the beach, enjoying games and talking to the kids over the phone. For the first time in years, I felt alive and loved.
When we returned home, I realized I had developed strong feelings for my father-in-law. He had been my rock, providing emotional and financial support, and helping me regain a sense of purpose. I confessed to him that I wanted to leave my marriage. He admitted he had grown fond of me too but wanted to handle things the right way. He said, "You’re a good woman, Abigail. You deserve peace and happiness, and I want to give that to you."
Soon after, my husband returned, empty-handed and broken after a failed marriage abroad. He tried to reconcile with me, but I refused. I couldn’t forget how he had abandoned us. My heart was already with his father, the man who had given me peace, stability, and unconditional love.
Now, my father-in-law wants to marry me. He sees me as his wife and wants to make it official. I feel no guilt about my decision because my husband made his choices, and I’ve made mine. My question is: Am I wrong to love the man who saved me when his son abandoned me?
