My name is Felix and I have a problem that is only getting worse as time
goes by. My wife Mary (Not real name) and I are both in our thirties
and have been married for five years.
We have two children and are very happy together. I
graduated from one of the top schools in Nigeria and was just starting
my engineering career when I was involved in a car accident that took
away my ability to do my job. When my firm let me go, I decided to start
my own business.
After a couple of years of being in business, I am still struggling and
barely breaking even. Throughout all of this, my wife has maintained her
job and she has even been able to bring in more money to help support
my business, pay the rent on our home, and pay for schooling for our
children. Without my wife’s job, our family would be homeless.
The problem is that my wife got her pay increase by having an affair
with her married boss. His company is extremely successful and she has
been maintaining a relationship with him to secure her job and her
higher income. My wife’s friends do not know about the affair and she
tells them the extra money comes from my business.
I don’t know what to do. Without that extra income from my wife’s job,
our family would never be able to pay our bills. But the situation is
putting a strain on our relationship and it is causing me personal
anguish. I feel embarrassed about the situation and I feel like a
failure as a husband. I love my wife and she loves me, but this
situation is something that neither of us ever expected to happen.
