In a long message she shared publicly, the qwife said she married seven years ago. She said that she gave up her job as a nurse shortly after the wedding because her husband promised to provide a monthly allowance equal to her salary. She said she made that choice for peace in the home and to support her marriage.
The wife told how the promise ended two years ago. She said that despite the husband being wealthy, he stopped paying the household bills and the children’s school fees. She says that for more than two years she has paid for food, rent and school fees by herself. She said she is now heavily in debt.
The wife said she recently learned that her husband has been seeing a woman named Benita for more than two years. She said she confronted the situation many times. She added that she tried everything she could to stop the relationship and to keep her family together, but that she has failed.
In the message, the wife addressed Benita directly. She begged her to spare the children and to leave the husband. She said she had asked Benita to stop because she feared for her children’s wellbeing. The wife said she does not want to break up the family for the children, but she cannot cope alone.
The woman described how the stress has affected her health. She said she is on medication for high blood pressure and that she is suffering from depression. She said she feels like a street beggar as she struggles to pay for food and keep her children in school.
She said she has stayed in the marriage only because of the children. She said she would have left long ago if not for them. She wrote that her father and mother had worked hard to send her to school and that she once supported her family as a nurse. She said she had given up that career to be a full-time housewife on her husband’s promise.
The wife also reported that Benita sent her threatening messages. She said the other woman warned her that she could not stop the relationship and that she would shame her publicly. The wife wrote that she no longer wants to fight Benita and that she now pleads instead.
The story has drawn attention on social media where the wife posted her message. Many readers expressed sympathy for her situation. Others asked how they could help her and her children.
Attempts to reach the husband for comment were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report. Requests to speak to the woman named Benita also received no reply.
The wife said she is seeking advice and support. She urged anyone who can help with funds for her children or with legal advice to come forward.
