My name is Myra and I'm a very angry and bitter woman. And it's all thanks to the 'witch' called Hetty, my landlady.
**********************************************************
Before the 'Jezebel', came into our lives, my husband CJ and I were doing just fine. We had been married for about eight years and though we did not have children, CJ was not too worried.

"When the time comes, we will have children. God's time is the best," he often said anytime I grew anxious over our childless state. You know how our African society is. Once a couple gets married, people especially family members, friends, colleagues and other so called 'well-wishers' expect the woman to start popping out babies as quickly as possible. My husband's parents and other family members live far away from us and hardly visit so pressure from their end was not much.

All the same, I never relented in my quest to have my own child. I fasted and prayed and cried to God to remember me. But the years went by and there was still no issue.

Then about two years ago, we had to move to another apartment from where we were staying in Lagos due to problems with the landlord. He had increased the rent by over fifty percent without warning and threatened to eject any tenant who did not comply. My husband, who felt the new rent was too high for the flat decided we should move.

So that's how we ended up in our new place. The house, made up of four flats is owned by Hetty who had inherited it from her parents. She lived in one of the flats downstairs with her two children, both teenagers. Hetty, who is in her late 30s, was said to be divorced or separated from her husband. When we moved in newly, the woman was so nice and helpful to us, always asking if we had any problems. She would invite us to her home and even cook for us. With time,
we became very close. I thought in my naivety that she was just being nice.

How did I know that she had designs on my husband! Anyway, I found out later that my husband was dating our landlady. It had been going on for months before I knew about it. You see, because of my job I'm hardly at home. My office is in Victoria Island so I leave home early and return home late as well. My husband is a business man so his schedule is more flexible than mine. There are days he does not go out at all, but stays at home and works on his computer and makes contacts on phone.

Since the story came out about their affair, friends and other concerned well-wishers have told me that I should have been more careful, that I should not have allowed a woman like her, single and still quite young and pretty to get close to my husband. But what were they expecting me to do, tie a grown up like him up? He's mature enough to know right from wrong and that dating that woman is something he should not have done.

**********************************************************
I found out about the affair from a neighbour who had been seeing them going out together and acting like lovers whenever I was at work. I confronted CJ and though he denied it initially, he finally owned up and confessed. He pleaded with me to forgive and forget that it was the 'work of the devil.'
"What devil?" I countered furiously.
"Instead of accepting responsibility for cheating on me with our landlady, you are blaming the devil!" I was very angry with him and I felt hurt too. What the woman has that I lacked, I wondered, weeping bitter tears. Ok, she was very pretty but I was not bad looking and was even younger than her.

CJ promised to stop seeing the woman, also begging me not to go and fight her as we could be kicked out of the apartment. I loved my husband very much and he meant the world to me so I forgave him. Things went on as normal though I was more vigilant this time around. As for my landlady, she travelled with her children abroad for the summer holidays and I did not see her for some time. The children came back and resumed school but she stayed behind for a few more months.

When she returned later, it was clear to even a blind man that she was pregnant. I did not think much of it and just ignored her as I had been doing since I found out she was sleeping with my husband. That was until CJ broke the terrible news to me, that he was responsible for her pregnancy! How could this have happened, was the first thought that entered my mind. I was, as expected devastated by the new development. Here was I, married to him for nearly eight years and yet to produce a child. Yet a clandestine affair with our landlady had resulted in a
pregnancy.

I became ill when I heard the news and had to take some time off from work. When my mother who lived near us heard what happened, she came to spend time with me. It was my mother and younger sister who came with her that went to my landlady's house and fought with her. Much as I hated the woman, I was not in support of physical combat and told my mother to leave her alone. The damage had been done and fighting her would not solve anything, I reasoned.

**********************************************************
It was my husband that I was more worried about. He had become so happy since Hetty announced she was pregnant for him.
"Finally, I will be a father," he had stated with obvious pride the day he broke the news to me. When I recovered, I called him one day that due to the situation of things, I no longer felt comfortable living in the same compound with the landlady, that we had to move. To my shock, CJ was vehemently opposed to my suggestion, insisting there was no need to relocate.

"Hetty will soon put to bed and as the father of the baby, I need to be around to look after them," he said. I was not ready to give in and I gave him an ultimatum: it's either we left or he should forget about me and our marriage. I told him I was not ready to share my man with any woman, least of all that conniving landlady of ours.

"I can't stay here anymore. Seeing that woman every day with her big, protruding tummy drives me crazy. I need to get away for my own sanity and peace of mind," I said.

That was when he told me that I could do whatever I wanted, that he was not ready to go anywhere.
"I'm going nowhere. We just moved here so why would we be moving so soon? Learn to adjust to the situation or ..." he rejoined.

Since I'm not ready to adjust, I have begun making alternative plans. My younger sister, who has her own apartment in town, has suggested I move in with her until CJ comes to his senses. I don't know what will happen to my marriage when I leave. I still love my husband and I know he cares about me too, but that woman seems to have cast a spell or used 'love charm' on him or something. I need to get away before I lose my mind with worry and stress. I don't know if I have taken the right decision or not. But I need some space right now before I lose my mind or even die prematurely from all the trouble my husband and his mistress have caused me...

THE END!

Siddon where? Do you know the kind of emotional trauma she will be passing through, the husband should have agreed with her and move, moving won't stop him from taking responsibilities of his child, buh so long he refuse to move n they keep staying in that same compound with that hetty, blve the problem has just started.




Feel ya pain sis, buh ur work ma no dey help matter, imagine a married woman going to work very early n probably coming back so late. D deed is done and can't be corrected by fighting, advise ur ppl not to fight with the woman.
Look for someone he listens to, involve his parent, tell em that u ain't stopping him from taking his responsibility, the child is his no problem, u just wanna save your home and staying in that same compound will only destroy it the more. And finally make out tym for your home, give ur home n husband attention.

Wish u the best and pray things work out fyn.

jst viewin it frm d literary view. May God intervene

Am sorry to sound soo blunt on a Sunday but op you don enter one chance. Like seriously.

Your husband was worried over the lack of baby issue but love overcame the worries...
Now there's a baby he realized what he's been missing....

Give him time...not by leaving your home.
Without you he can easily give in to marrying hetty B!tch..

jst viewin it frm d literary view. May God intervene

Yea I get ya point.
Na God intervention sure pass o

Op lemme give you a professional advice, I really feel for your plight with soo much empathy. I don't know what tribe you come from but in this matter you must not carry last (even if you're not a warri woman)
First thing first, it's obvious that the infertility problem is from you. I can't dialogue you on what your past has been like to know if this is a primary or secondary infertility, let's leave that for now.
Second thing, visit a well recognized hospital, preferably a federal government hosp, lay your infertility problem to the gynecologist you meet there, they would carry out fertility hormone profile test on you to know where exactly the problem is coming from.
Having known that, you're half way to solving your problem, decide on a solution with the doc (I don't know how old you are but if your hormonal profile is encouraging, you could be enrolled in an IVF programm (assisted conception). They would discuss the available options to you, make a choice. You could carry your baby I in 9months too.
PS : I can't name private hospitals that run the programm here for obvious reasons (it's against the ethics of our profession), if the teaching hospital doesn't run the programm, they could easily refer you. Lastly, it's quite costly, as high as 900k or more depending on the one you chose.

Better tori shaaaaaaaaah, when a woman has chosen the place of man in the family,......move out early come back late, what do you expect?, Child not coming, several years has gone by no issue after marriage, who is to blame?, man and the woman getting old, .......Look the woman has to accept the faith of welcoming the second wife, is a pity but that is the ideal situation , no compromise.........finish................. this is my submission,

ojun50:

i want to no if she has any health issue

yeah I understand, just pulling your legs.

sharp guy



No cause for alarm na.. Just accept what has happened, who said impregnating the landlady was a bad idea?? The guy only proved a point to the world..


The childlessness is the woman's fault

Your husband is a bad person!!!!!!!


Sorry!!!

I can see some ppl blaming the man. Well they might be right. In the other book childless for 8 years is no beans.

He even tried kudos to him. I guess the wife didn't take the childlessness serious enough.

Now some ppl taking about STI or STD or whatever. U are childless for 8 years and u are talking STI

from my own view I have never seen a man who will be childless for 8 year and will not be trying other women.

The woman is not faulty. Neither the man. I blame the landlady for been wicked.

But critically looking at it the man has a little fault. But I still give kudos to him for waiting that long its not easy. I don't think I can myself. It will take God's grace for me to wait that long

Now psychologically the man loves his wife. He didn't go far. I guess the relationship started by d Hetty woman initiating. The man couldn't resist. Who could do that should cast d 1st stone. For d man to do it within same compound I bliv he still loves his wife it was only a temptation he couldn't resist
He who can resist that should cast the first stone
Note : so many are cheating only those who get caught are named

Now to top it he is going to be a father after 8 years meeehn its no joke.
(probably the best feeling he ever had in his life)

The best thing to do here for the wife is to accept fate and move on with him or otherwise. If she tries anything funny the man won't hesitate replacing her for Hetty

So I bliv if she confines In God and pray. God will grant her wishes and make her get pregnant.


The moment she becomes pregnant. Things will start balancing.


A man made for 2 wives will never marry one


I hope u choose your advice wisely


*inks Empty*

How r we sure the man is responsible 4 the pregnancy

pple's comment sha, ESP ecially those blaming the woman for infertility problem. what if the man is actually infertile and the Hetty of a woman is taking advantage of their situation. the first thinf first is for the woman to do fertility test to rule out the possibility of the fault been hers. then wait for the lady in question to give birth and the conduct paternal test for the baby. this is actually ascertain the husband is the owner. for the meantime stay low and be strong, u will pull through this challenge

Lol! After all the abortion you committed then. ..now you are here. .don't blame the nigga. ..He needs a baby! Stay away from premature sex all this girls nor go hear

My candid opinion: that marriage to your husband is over. You need to get him to file a divorce so you can be free to marry or date someone else

I did the same thing to my girlfriend.
I impregnated my girlfriend's sister.
She refused to play her role (not of your barrenness).
I will also blame you for what your husband did.
Men are easily tamed, there is only one thing you can do to a man to keep him away from cheating. Just give him the best sex, the juju no go clear for him eye, he go dey after your pusssy like a dog is after bone.

But i know this is a big lie from hell.

Ok

Ladies are selfish! You suppose to divorce or ask your husband to marry another wife if you can not concieve for 5yrs or more, my opinion might not make sense to you tho but we all know God does not created any woman who can not concieve,their ability not to concieve is due to what they have done when they were young,i don't think i can hustle all my life, make it, then stay with a woman who can not concieve for more than 5years
