I have been dating Olu for the past six years. My friends were not happy when they found out I was with him. “Why would a smart young woman like you waste your youth on somebody’s used-up man?” they questioned but I didn’t care.

One day, I received a call from an angry woman. “I know you are sleeping with my husband,” she yelled. “If you know what’s good for you, you’ll leave him and find your own man.”
Yes, I already knew he was married when I agreed to date him. This is why I didn’t say a word to her in response. I was deathly quiet while she ranted on and on about husband snatchers like me. “You will get what is coming to you if you don’t leave him,” she warned.
“Don’t listen to her,” my mother advised me. She didn’t want me to pay attention to anyone who frowned upon the relationship. She asked me to focus on everything Olu was doing for me. “It’s not easy to get a man who will take good care of you the way he does, so you better hold on to him tightly.”
It was easier to take my mother’s counsel because this man promised to make me his second wife. I did everything I believed would make him happy. This meant I did whatever he wanted.
He called me to come to his house every time his wife was not home. We would get intimate as many times as he wanted. There were also times when I would wash his clothes and cook him meals in their house.
I did all this so I wouldn’t lose him. At some point, I resorted to something drastic. I decided to seal our relationship with pregnancy.
When Olu’s wife found out that I had gotten pregnant for her husband, she called me. Oh, the obscene things she said to me. Can you blame her, though? I took it all in good faith.
In my seventh month, Olu started acting different. The change was so sudden and drastic. He barely spoke to me. He stopped sleeping with me as well. The only thing that didn’t cease was his money. He continued to pay for my antenatal visits. When I was ready to buy the baby’s items too, he bore the cost.
However, that also changed when I had the baby. I delivered through a C-section. Everything cost ₦220,000. By then, he wasn’t picking up my calls, so I sent word to him through one of his friends. I expected him to come and see us and pay the bills, but we didn’t see his face. He only sent me ₦70,000 for the hospital bill.
The baby is now five months old, but Olu still hasn’t come to see us. He has not sent us money for upkeep either. I am just surprised that a man who was all over me, as if he couldn’t live without my existence, would abandon me and our child like this.
Out of frustration, I asked one of his friends to speak to him on my behalf. After a few days, his friend came to tell me, “Olu says he is not the father of your child. He wants nothing to do with you again.”

Ah, just like that? This was a man who seemed happy to have a child with me so what changed?
Now, his wife has contacted me again. This time around, she didn’t sound angry. She was rather gloating as she told me that her husband will never recognise the child as his. “You think I will let you reap where you did not sow?” she laughed.
You Broke Me Into Pieces: A Daughter’s Emotional Conversation With Her Father
I don’t know what happened to make him reject me as if I never meant anything to him. It hurts so badly, considering that I love him very much. I don’t want to fixate on that, though. My problem is the child. What can I do to make Olu claim his child? I don’t want my baby to grow up fatherless. The thought alone is depressing me. I can’t even sleep properly.

You are not serious. You have ruined your own life along with an innocent child due to greed and selfishness. Besides you have a wicked mother. If this was done to her daughter will she be happy. Karma is real. Work hard and focus on getting things of your own than to leech on the hard earned stuffs of others. You are lucky she didn’t curse you . I don’t know why your conscience and sense didn’t work but chose to listen to the evil council of your mum. Now look at where it has ended you.
Your mother is very wicked just like you.
Why would you want to reap where you haven’t sown?
You knew he was married but still wanted to have that affair with him. You brought this on yourself so bear it all together with your mom.
Karma is real?
Would your mother have agreed to that decision if that lady was her daughter?
😂😂 the audacity
A very bold and shameless side chick. I feel sorry for the baby though.
‘Mentease3 mpo’.Honestly,what she is saying totally foolishness.i dont understand. Pls she needs deliverance abeg.
Hahaha, Kwame you’re mean.
You dont even make sense.so foolish girl like assuming your husband do that cheat to you would you be happy lazy person god will punish you for doing that and you must suffer for making a woman like you just thing like that
Discuss with your inept mother, she should stand by you this moment. A mother who advises you to hold fast to a married man because of his money!
You’re a very foolish idiot. You’ll raise your bastard (sadly though innocent, that’s what your child is in every sense of the word) by yourself. You’re just lucky that she didn’t do something to harm your child too.
Have you no shame, trying to break up another woman’s home with such remorseless tenacity. You truly deserve in every measure, all the suffering that you’ve gone and will go through.
I am alarmed that no one is pointing her to the law. Your baby daddy has no right to deny his child. Send him to the Social Welfare office or family tribunal. He refuses their summons and he could end up in jail. If he’s in doubt, he can always ask for a DNA test. Don’t initiate it. let him ask for it if he wants.
Let your mother who gave you the bad advice help you take care of the baby until you find the fetish priest who did the thing for your boyfriend’s wife to reverse it.
Sure !!!, don’t reap where you have not planted
