It all started in 2023 when I had a misunderstanding with my boss at work. After that incident, he collected my number from a colleague and called me in the evening to apologize. That call marked the beginning of everything. From that day, he became someone I could rely on emotionally. Whenever I felt tired, discouraged, or close to giving up, he was always there to comfort me. He listened to me, encouraged me, and reminded me that I was strong and capable.

He often took me out to make me happy. He paid attention to my needs and made me feel special. When he asked me to be his girlfriend, I accepted without hesitation. At that time, he seemed like every woman’s dream—kind, supportive, generous, and emotionally present. We started dating, and he continued to provide for me and cheer me up in every possible way. I felt safe with him. I believed I had found someone who genuinely cared.
In 2024, he finally told me that he had a baby mama and a child. He complained that the woman was frustrating his life, even though he was taking care of her and their child. When I heard this, I told him clearly that I could not continue the relationship. I asked him to go and focus on his family. He broke down in tears and told me he was not married and was only being responsible. He even sent his friends to beg me. Out of love and pity, I gave him another chance.
Not long after, I discovered that I was pregnant. He was very happy about it, but he refused to take me to meet his parents. Later, he admitted that his parents wanted him to marry his baby mama. I felt betrayed and asked why he had hidden this from me. He said he was afraid of losing me. The woman he called baby mama was actually his wife. I was broken beyond words but the harm had already been done.
When I was six months pregnant, he told me that his baby mama was also pregnant and would soon give birth. That day, my heart shattered. I realized I had made the worst mistake of my life. I wanted to leave the relationship again but he wouldn’t let me.
What Will Make You Leave Me After Forty Years Of Marriage?
Since then, people have labeled me a husband snatcher without listening to my side of the story, including his wife and his mother. Although he takes care of me and my child, he controls me and threatens to abandon us if I try to leave him.
During my pregnancy, his wife and her mother attacked me spiritually. I almost died during childbirth, and my baby nearly died at three months old. Today, I feel confused, trapped, and broken. I don’t know what to do anymore.

Pray, look for a job elsewhere or you can learn a technical skill. What others think doesn’t really matter. What you think and know is what matters.
You wanted to leave the relationship but he wouldn’t let you.
Why did he chain you ???
If he threatens to abandon his child, you can take him to social welfare.
These are some of the reasons why coitus is confined in the walls of marriage.
Dear Sansa,
It is rather unfortunate that you did not know nor find out this man (your boss) was married before starting the journey you are now on. But once you found out, you really should have ended it as the deception was now out in the open. Continuing the affair after the fact now meant you actively contributed to the situation.
All that notwithstanding, where has your family been all this while? Update them of everything so they may be available for emotional support. Then take steps to address the matter with the Social Welfare so that the child is taken care of by the man. He has to take full responsibility.
Also change jobs, please. Financial sustainability is likely what might have driven you into staying even after finding out he was married. Once you break that bond, you will no longer feel the need to stay in what you now acknowledge to be wrong. You are not chained to him to excuse the affair with, “he wouldn’t let me” leave, please. You are an independent adult. Take responsibility for your actions and your life.
The very best to you as you take bold decisions first for your child, and then yourself. It is never late to do the right thing.

His wife and mother attacked you spiritually?
U must be out of your mind for blaming the wife and mother of your misfortune nonsense
You are indeed a husband snatcher if you couldn’t leave after discovering he was married because he chained you.
Blaming the wife and mother for what karma gave you shows that you are evil.
