No insults please.
Anonymous Story
I have been married for 5 yearsā¦ and Iām honestly tired.
I met my husband when I was 27. Back then, he was still trying to find his feet. He used to come to my office during lunch break just to see me, even if it was for 10 minutes.
He wasnāt rich, but he was kind.
I believed him, even when my mum and some friends said he doesn't have anything yet.
After we got married, things were not easy.
There were days we had to calculate money before cooking.
I even contributed part of my savings to help him start his business.
I stood by him through everything.
Fast forward to nowā¦ God has blessed him.
He now drives a better car.
Money is coming in.
We moved to a better apartment.
On the outside, everything looks perfect.
But inside this marriageā¦ I feel empty.
He doesnāt talk to me like before.
These days, he comes back late, sometimes past 11pm.
If I ask, itās āwork stressā or āmeetings.ā
He eats, presses his phone, and sleeps.
No conversation. No connection.
Even on weekends, heās always busy.
Meanwhile, Iām at home with the childrenā¦ or just sitting alone, scrolling through my phone.
What really broke me was last month.
He said he was traveling for business.
But something didnāt sit right with me.
Two days later, A friend saw pictures on someoneās WhatsApp status which she screenshoted to me. It was my husbandā¦ in a loungeā¦ with another woman. Holding her like I used to be held.
Jesus š¢ š¢ My heart dropped.
That night, when he came back, I couldnāt even shout. I was just numb.
Later, I checked his phone.
Yes, I know itās wrongā¦ but I needed to be sure I wasnāt going crazy.
What I sawā¦ I wish I didnāt see it.
Different chats, Different women.
Good morning messages, pet namesā¦ even sending them money.
The same man that will tell me āmanage, things are tightāā¦
I confronted him the next day.
Do you know what he said?
āYou should be grateful. At least youāre enjoying now.??
Enjoying what exactly?
A house without peace?
A husband I canāt recognize anymore?
Sometimes, I sit in the living room after everyone has sleptā¦ and I just cry quietly.
Because this is not the marriage I prayed for.
But the truth isā¦ I still love him.
And I donāt even know if Iām strong enough to leave.
I told my mum, she said marriage is for better and worse that I should endure.
People, I'm very tired ššš
