Sel, some years ago, I made a terrible mistake that is now threatening to destroy my marriage and the peaceful life I worked hard to build. I am a nurse working in a public hospital, and before I got married, I was involved in a relationship that I failed to end properly. Even after entering my marriage, I still allowed my ex-boyfriend access to my life, and unfortunately, became pregnant for him.
Sel, fear of shame and disgrace pushed me into making an even bigger mistake. My ex and I, agreed to let my husband believe the child belonged to him so that, my marriage would not collapse. For the past two years, my husband has lovingly cared for the child without ever suspecting the painful secret I have been hiding from him.
Sel, three months ago, I discovered I was pregnant again, and this time I know my husband is responsible. However, after informing my ex in an attempt to avoid future problems, he insisted that he could also be the father because we were still secretly involved. He is now demanding a paternity test for the pregnancy and even threatening, to seek custody of the first child. And this is because I told him, I have had enough of everything and want out.
Sel, at this point, my life feels completely shattered. I am terrified that if my husband discovers the truth, my marriage will collapse and my reputation will be ruined forever. I keep asking myself how I can possibly explain to my husband that the child he has loved and raised for two years is not even his. Right now, I feel trapped, ashamed, and desperate for a solution before everything falls apart.
