I’m dating a married man for a year now. I know you’ll judge me so go ahead and judge. Whatever you say is right but there’s a reason. It’s a whole story I will share someday.

This man is the only man in my life and if I should believe what he tells me, then I’m the only woman he’s dating aside from his wife.

Here’s the issue and it has happened more than twice. Anytime his wife contracts any virginal infection, this man lays the blame on me. He lays the blame on me because his wife accuses him of sleeping with someone else.

I defend myself. It’s always his word against mine;

“Who are you sleeping with that you’re giving me infections to carry to my wife?” he accused me. I retorted, “I’m healthy. I don’t have any infection so how can I be the reason why your wife has what she has? Please take me out of your marital problems.”

One day, she sent me photos of the drugs her wife was using and asked me to get the same drugs to cure whatever it was that I was suffering from. I wasn’t experiencing any itches or yeast but to make him happy, I got the drug and used it.

A few months later, he came again accusing me of being a carrier of infections. “Stop sleeping around with borla men so you can stop giving me infections,” he texted. I responded, “Maybe you should check it from your wife’s side. She may be the one sleeping around with borla men.”

Honestly, I was frustrated but when I realized the weight of my response, I tried deleting the message. Unfortunately, he read it before I could delete it.

He insulted everything that had a connection to me including my ancestors who probably didn’t know about virginal infections. I apologized and asked for forgiveness. This man is the reason why this life makes sense to me. I don’t want to go into details before you accuse me of eulogizing someone else’s husband.

He stopped talking to me. He has stopped providing. For about two months now, nothing has come from his end and it’s destroying everything for me. How can I apologize enough for him to forgive me? He keeps telling me I haven’t done enough to deserve his forgiveness. It’s the reason why I want to know what more I should do for him to forgive me.
