I have been married for four years now. I have a child who isn’t for my husband. No, I didn’t bring the child to the marriage. I had it while married to my husband. I know you’ll like to know what happened, so here we go. It all started a year after our marriage. My husband would leave the house for work and return three days later.

I am a 24 year old girl and I need some important advice. I come from a very poor home. My parents were very poor and we could hardly make ends meet.

We helped our parents on the farm and sometimes we…

Right from the beginning, my mother wanted me to marry a certain man because of his money. I told her politely, “I can’t marry this man. I don’t love him and I don’t see myself marrying someone I don’t love. Again, he’s way older than I am. I can’t marry him.” She insisted. She did all within her power to make me settle with that man but I didn’t succumb to her pressure. When the time was right, I introduced the one I wanted to marry to her and that was when the issue started. She said no to us.…
I only was trying to help my husband. I did not mean any harm or disrespect. We started having issues with our s3x life 3 years ago. Its not as if my husband was a s3x machine but he was not doing badly with s3xual performance either. However, three years ago, his libido seemed to drop significantly. I didn’t complain initially but when I started suspecting maybe he was seeing another woman and so didn’t have enough stamina, I became really worried. I told him several times that I was not happy that his performance was dropping but instead of…
Please keep me anonymous. I need advice from you and your readers. I am in a big fix as I write to you. My husband has seized my kids and thrown me out of the house. I am a mother of three. My kids are still very young and the oldest is just nine years old.

I won’t claim that our marriage has been the best so far but…
I have just been managing with this man and with the current situation of things, I do not think I can continue to stay in this marriage with him.

I had a business of my own with many workers, I was earning well and taking good care of…
