My friend confided in me that he’s having an affair with his wife’s younger sister, who lives with them. This younger sister we are talking about is only eighteen. I asked with a shaky voice, “What do you see in this small girl?” He proudly answered, “You call her a small girl? Just one short time with her and you’ll change your narrative about her. Do you know what she can do?”

I know his wife very well. She sees me as a friend. When I visit them, she ensures I eat before I leave. On some holidays, we would buy a fowl or a goat, give it to her, and she would prepare a great soup for us.

I call her “Sweet Wife.”

It’s not empty praise I give her, like some friends who will say “our wife” and still help the husband to cheat.

What he said traumatised me. His explanation nearly made me throw up. I begged him in the name of God to stop doing that with his sister-in-law. I even asked if he wanted me to kneel and beg. He said, “Why are you behaving like a saint? I thought we were brothers. You’ve made me regret sharing this with you paaa.”

When we parted, I told myself I was going to withdraw from him, and I did just that. I gave him excuses whenever he called for us to meet. I would see his texts and ignore them. When I knew he was going to be somewhere, I changed my route to avoid him.

He called me.

“Are you avoiding me?”

I answered, “No, I’m not avoiding you, but someday, what you’re doing will come to light, and my name will blink under your name. I’m trying to prevent that.”

He said, “Oh, my guy, all this because of what I told you? What next are you going to do, tell my wife all my secrets?”

Again, I begged him to stop. “You shouldn’t have told me. In fact, you’ve worried me a lot. Just stop it.”

What Caused The Breakup Between You And Your Ex?

Now he’s the one cutting me off, which is fine with me, but I can’t get my mind off the fact that he’s doing it with his wife’s younger sister.

The girl looks so innocent that you wouldn’t think that of her. But she’s just a child. You can’t blame her that much.

I bumped into his wife recently, and she asked why she hadn’t seen me for a very long time. I said I was busy. I should have told her the truth. Then maybe my mind would have been at rest. She told me, “Come this weekend. I will cook your favourite.”

I couldn’t go because I can’t sit and watch her and her sister, knowing very well what’s going on in the dark. Is there a way to help my friend stop what he’s doing? He thinks he’s having fun, but a thirty-year-old man should learn not to have fun with flames.
