A Nigerian man has shared a distressing account of how a chance encounter with an old friend has thrown his three-year marriage into crisis, leaving him confused, ashamed, and considering divorce.
According to the man, he and his wife did not date for long before getting married. He said he was focused on settling down with a woman who met certain standards he had set for himself, particularly educational qualifications, and believed he found all of that in his wife. The couple now has two children, with their second son born just eight months ago.
Trouble began when he recently reconnected with a former high school friend. While catching up, he told the friend about his marriage and proudly showed him photos of his wife and children. Later that same day, the friend called him back and made a shocking claim, alleging that the man’s wife had previously been involved in hookups before marriage.
The man said he was initially in disbelief, but his friend sent him old photographs which he said confirmed that it was indeed his wife. According to him, the friend further claimed that he had been intimate with her several times in the past.
He confronted his wife over the allegation, and she admitted that before their marriage, she had engaged in hookups to support herself and pay her school bills. The confession, he said, left him deeply hurt and emotionally shattered.
In his account, the man expressed intense shame and disappointment, stating that he struggles to come to terms with his wife’s past and the fact that people he knows were once involved with her. He said the revelation has affected how he feels about intimacy in the marriage and has made him question everything he thought he knew about his wife.
Now torn between love for his wife and children and the emotional pain he feels, the man says he is considering ending the marriage through divorce. He described the situation as embarrassing and heartbreaking, adding that he never imagined he would find himself in such a position.
The story has sparked strong reactions wherever it has been shared, with many debating issues around honesty, past relationships, forgiveness, and whether a person’s past should determine the future of a marriage.
