Good day ma, please hide my identity. I just want to share my story because I’m still shaking and don’t even know how to come to terms with what I saw. I feel like I’m living inside a nightmare.
I just gave birth recently. Me and my husband live in Lagos, and when I delivered, my mom came down from Enugu to help me out. She stayed with us to assist with the baby and housework because I had a C-section and wasn’t too strong. At first, everything was fine. She cooked, helped with the baby, and supported me.
But things started to change after about a month. My body was still healing, and I wasn’t always able to satisfy my husband in bed. I thought he would understand. Sometimes he would complain, but later he stopped disturbing me, so I assumed he finally understood that I was still recovering.
What I didn’t know was that something unthinkable was happening right under my nose.
Last night, around 1,AM, I woke up and didn’t find my husband on the bed with me. I thought maybe he went to the bathroom. I waited, but after a while he didn’t return. I got up and checked everywhere—the living room, the kitchen, even the guest room—but I couldn’t find him.
Then I said, let me checkup on my baby in the other room, where my mom sleeps with the child.
What I saw next broke something inside me that may never heal.
I caught my husband—the man I’ve been with for 8 years, the man I started dating back in secondary school—on t0p of my own mother. In the same room where my baby lay sleeping.
My bl00d froze. I couldn’t cry. I couldn’t speak. I just stood there, shaking.
Till this moment, I haven’t said a single word to either of them.
My husband has been begging me nonstop since it happened, saying it was a mistake, that he didn’t know what came over him. But I can’t even look at him, he irr!tates me 😭 my own mother
Not even an outsider 💔
As for my mother—the woman who carried me in her womb—she’s acting like I’m the problem. She even warned me that if I tell anyone, she’ll disown me. Imagine that—she’s the one who destroyed everything, and she’s thr£atening me.
I don’t even know my father. According to my mom, my father di£d when I was 3 years old. So I have no one else am the only child. No backup. No escape.
I feel so alone. I feel betrayed. I feel d£ad inside.
Please ma, I don’t even know what to do. I’ve just been carrying my baby and crying silently. All I ever wanted was peace and a family. But what I got instead is betrayal from the two people I trusted most in my life
I'm just trying to be strong for my child. That's the only thing keeping me from falling apart completely. But what happened last night has left me even more confused and h£artbroken.
This is now the third day since I caught my husband and my mother t0gether. Last night, while my husband had stepped out, my mom came to me quietly and said she wanted to “talk.”
I told her, “Okay, I'm listening.”
Then she looked me in the face—no shame, no remorse—and told me something I never imagined a mother could say.
She said:
“You know your father di£d when I was in my late twenties, and since then, I haven’t been with any man. Your husband is a good man. I want him to marry me as a second wife.”
I thought I didn’t hear her clearly. But she repeated it again.
She told me that he doesn't need to pay bride price again, that we’ll just be two wives in the same house—me and my own mother—shar!ng the same man. My husband. The father of my child. The man who paid my bride price.
I was shaking. I didn't even have the strength to reply. All I could do was sit there and cry.
At first, I thought what happened between them was a h0rrible mistake. But now I realize my mother knew exactly what she was doing. She planned this.
Please, Facebook family, what should I do?
I don’t even know if I should confront my husband or keep quiet and watch what they’re planning. I feel like I’m living with two strangers.
I’m a stay-at-home mom right now. I have no job, no income. I’m just a university graduate trying to survive.
Please, I need advice. What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Please I need your opinion guys . I’m reading everything. My heart is 💔💔😭
