You are a woman. You need him.
You cannot leave your man just to end up as a second choice. But ghis woman is tired of it all. Heres why!
He came home. And I was so excited.
I hid behind the door, ready to jump out and surprise him. My heart was full of love and joy because—finally—my husband was home. But in just a few seconds, that joy shattered into a thousand pieces.
He walked in, smiling. I stayed still, ready to surprise him. But before I could, his phone rang. I listened. I wish I hadn’t.
He was on the phone with another woman… telling her how much he loved her.
Telling her he lied to me—that he wasn’t traveling for work like he said. He was actually spending the week with her.
He told her how he planned to take me out, just to get rid of me and have time for her.
He mocked me. He said I was bad in bed. That I was a bad woman. That he didn’t love me, didn’t want me.
And I stood there… frozen. Listening. Crying silently.
When he finally turned around and saw me, his face dropped. He started begging. Said he didn’t mean it. Said he loved me, not her. But how do you come back from that?
I told him I would pack my things and leave. I told him I can’t do this anymore. I stayed loyal. I stayed faithful. I took him back even when he gave me infections—HIV among them—and still, I stayed.
And yet he kept cheating. Over and over again.
I keep asking myself—what did I do wrong?
Where did I fall short?
What does she give that I didn’t?
As women, we’re always told to “stay and build your home.” But when you finally walk away from a man who’s breaking you, they say “why did you leave your husband?”
Like your pain is invisible. Like your loyalty wasn’t enough.
They’ll say I left to become someone’s side chick—but no one ever asks what pushed me out in the first place.
Would you stay in such a relationship?
Sometimes, walking away is not weakness. It’s survival.
I need time. Maybe one day I’ll calm down. Maybe one day I’ll forgive. But today? I choose myself.
What’s your take? If it were you would you forgive him and continue with the marriage?
