My husband had a baby mama before we got married. I was sceptical about getting involved with him at first. I didn’t want any baby mama drama. However, he assured me there was nothing going on between them anymore.

“We have irreconcilable differences. So we’ve agreed to co-parent,” he said.

After the marriage, I realised I was deceived. They still had an active relationship. When I got tired of fighting it, I left it alone and decided to focus on my part of the marriage.

Sadly, my husband’s baby mama died recently. That was when I knew she truly was the woman he loved. This man is openly mourning her as if it was his wife who had died. I might as well not exist anymore.

He is usually the kind of man who takes care of his family, but for the past three months, he has shirked his responsibilities. He always tells me, “I don’t have money,” in response to paying our bills. When he returns home from work, he doesn’t talk to me. He just goes straight to his bedroom and stays there till the next morning.

He is making me feel like a nobody. It hurts to watch him mourn another woman as if he has lost everything in this world. What about me? Am I not the woman he married? Am I not the one who stands by him even though his performance during intimacy is unsatisfying?

I believe I am too young to spend the rest of my life shackled to a man who would probably spend the rest of his life mourning the woman he truly loves. I am only 29.

Do you think there’s any chance my husband would focus on me again? Or I should walk away now before it’s too late? I don’t want to be in a marriage where I would be competing with a dead woman for my husband’s affection.
