My husband and I moved from our old apartment to a new one recently. To make extra money, we decided to rent out the empty apartment. We didn’t use a real estate agent. We just chose to advertise it on our social media channels. My husband posted his on his WhatsApp but he has problems with his phone so he directs all interested persons to me.
I received a number of phone calls from people. Some of them made offers that were so low that I had to ask them to talk to my husband. Of course, I knew he wouldn’t accept their offers but I didn’t want to be the one to turn them down. My entire day was filled with phone calls and text messages about the apartment. Around 4:00 PM, I received another of such message on WhatsApp. It was a woman who was interested in seeing images of the apartment.
She said, “Hi, I was directed to you by a certain man advertising an apartment. Can I see the pictures?” I read the message but I didn’t respond until I confirmed from my husband that he sent her to me. He agreed, “Yes, a lady contacted me this afternoon and I gave her your number. Go ahead and engage her.” So I sent her the photos. After seeing the photos she asked for the price of the room. “Please ask my husband. He is the one in charge of negotiations,” I responded.
A few minutes later she sent me another message, “I am sorry to bother you like this but my budget is GHC300 for a month. Will you accept it?” I knew my husband wouldn’t accept it. But I didn’t want to be the one to tell her. So I asked her to talk to him. After a while she texted me again, saying my husband didn’t accept her offer, and that our prices are above her budget. “Can you talk to him for me? You are his wife. I am sure you can get him to accept my money,” she said. I didn’t want to get involved with her and her money so I advised her, “Why don’t you search for a room that’s within your budget? You will definitely get something you can work with.”
She took my advice and agreed to look elsewhere. The conversation ended there. And I was certain I would not hear from her again. I had dinner with my family that evening and went to bed uneventfully as always. Everything was peaceful. Then I woke up in the morning and saw a lot of messages and missed calls on my phone. I panicked at first because I thought something bad had happened to someone close to me and I was asleep when they tried to reach me. I almost drove myself crazy running a list of worst-case scenarios in my mind. I even repeated a simple prayer line, “God, let everyone I know be okay.”
When I finally had the courage to open the notifications, I was surprised to see that it was the lady from the previous day. The one who couldn’t afford our apartment. She had called me several times, and when I didn’t pick up she left me a thread of messages:
“I am sorry to bother you once again.”
“I couldn’t sleep after I found out that your husband lied to me, and he is lying to you too.”

“I am sure you don’t know that he is a cheat. I didn’t know either.”
“What I am trying to say is that he is my boyfriend. He told me he is not married. He was the one who even recommended the room to me. He said GHC350 is the last price. So imagine how I felt when I texted you and found out he is married to you.”
“I am hurt that he had deceived me but I want you to know the truth as well. Thank you.”

“What are you talking about?” I asked in confusion. But my message didn’t go through. I called her immediately, but it didn’t go through as well. That’s how I know that she blocked me. Her messages have surprised and confused me. It is unlike my husband to cheat. In fact, the man has never done anything to make me even suspect that he is involved with someone else. He has only shown devotion to me and our family. So I believed the lady had sent me a wrong message. “Maybe she meant it for someone else,” I thought. But the fact that she blocked me made me feel unsettled.
I asked my husband about the lady and the messages and he also sounded surprised. “I don’t even know this person in question. What else did she say?” That’s what he said. And I believe him. However, I want to find the lady and listen to everything she has to say. It’s the only way I can put my mind at ease. I have her name, number, and pictures. I can easily track her. But before I do, I need your advice. Is it wise to go after her? Or I should just let sleeping dogs lie? What do I do?

Let sleeping dogs lie. For all you may she is doing all that to break your marriage. But mind you your husband is human he may deviate but its up to you to forgive. Don’t think about divorce even if you find out it’s the truth communicate with him . Even if you divorce your husband and marry someone else mind you he is also a man can do the same to you. If I were you I will let it be. Forget about it but also put your eyes and ears down .Trust your husband as a man who do wrong . To er is human to forgive is divine.
OBVIOUSLY she is pained she didnt get the room, if indeed she is dating your husband why will your husband give your number to her knowing verily whats between you guys, sometime we got to think between the line, this isnt something to even ponder of
What you don’t know or see don’t be curious.Just forget and move on
A Twi proverb say, if you go searching through the eyes if a corpse you will see a ghost. Let it go at this stage.
Dear come to think of it, if is really true she had a thing with your husband, you will she blocked u and not speak to you after that so many missed calls. Wait and do you think your husband will give or direct her to you but rather tell you he got someone to rent it . Please wake up and ignore that evil one just want to break your home .
Use your brains woman! Which man would give her wife’s number to her girlfriend for her to call her. Does it make sense to you! Go searching for trouble and you will definitely find it.
My question for you is… Do you have the energy to go looking for her? If yes, after meeting her and bla bla then what next? Divorce or cry??
I guess you don’t cherish your peace?
Come to think of it… What if it’s your hubby who connived with the said lady just to see how you’ll react etc.
My sister, choose peace wai.
Since you have peace, please keep it. Infact u too block her and delete her number from your phone. Even if what she said is true, since you haven’t noticed any change in your husband, abeg keep your happy home. For all you my know, the lady want to distract you and take your place. And come to think of it, why will your husband give your number to his girlfriend? My dear, it doesn’t make sense. You can be vigilant but not to the notice of your husband. Thank you
