- A Nigerian woman has shared her distress online after alleging that her husband is having an affair with her 19-year-old cousin who lives with them, despite family intervention and her attempts to resolve the issue.
A Nigerian woman has taken to social media to share her heartbreak after allegedly discovering that her husband is having an affair with her 19-year-old cousin.
The story was shared anonymously by a Facebook user, Fegor Chime, on her behalf. The 29-year-old woman said she lives with her 40-year-old husband and their two children in Asaba and recently completed her youth service but is currently unemployed and financially dependent on him.
According to her, her husband has allegedly been involved with her cousin, who has lived with them for about six years. She claimed the pair sometimes go to hotels together and that her husband sneaks into the cousin’s room at night. She also alleged that he gives the young girl pills whenever her period is delayed.
The woman said she reported the matter to both families after discovering the alleged affair, but she was advised to forgive her husband instead. She added that although she wants to send her cousin back to the village, her husband reportedly refuses, while the cousin also refuses to leave and allegedly demanded that he sponsor her education.
Heartbroken and confused, the woman said she turned to social media to share her pain and seek advice on what to do next.
“I’m 29, my husband is 40, and we live in Asaba with our two kids. I just finished my youth service and haven’t started working yet, so I fully depend on my husband financially. I just found out that my husband is sleeping with my 19-year-old cousin, who has been living with us for six years. They sometimes go to hotels, and at night, he sneaks into her room. He even gives her gifts whenever her period is late. I have been crying and heartbroken for days. I involved both families, but they said I should forgive. I want to send her back to the village, but my husband refuses, saying her parents will not let him go. I honestly want to leave this marriage, but I don’t have anything right now and I don’t know how I will take care of my kids. My cousin also said she won’t go and demanded that my husband pay for her schooling. She even claims that he raped her. Please advise me on what to do before I do something crazy.”
