A very short story
I am a lady of 42 years old. Love has not been fair to me at all.
I met this guy when I was on vacation, secondary school, a childhood friend to my big brother and also taught by my mother in secondary school. For that reason, I knew he will not disappoint me. He treated me like a queen, took me to places I wouldn’t dream of going. My parents received him with open arms as he also helped me with studies. I don’t know if they knew what was going on or they just thought he was being helpful.
I remember there was this day my parents travelled, and he came over. The atmosphere was clear, everything was set, we kissed for the first time. Okay so what’s the faze about kissing that my mates have been making noise about. I didn’t feel all the electric and hullabaloo…
That they even describe in movies.
He was as erect as …but I didn’t feel anything, so I managed to push him away.
One hot afternoon, he invited me to his house. The inevitable happened. Sex was not all like I had read or heard but I took it like that. I didn’t “cum” so I assumed the eggs cannot meet the sperms for it to fertilize… dumb but yeah, a lot of sex education didn’t use to happen back then.
School reopened and I could hardly keep up. Was throwing up all the time. So weak I had to go home only to find out I was pregnant.
My mother was angry at me. I was a smart child then, so I believe she kept wondering how I fell prey to this whole thing and getting pregnant.
We spoke about aborting it or giving it out for adoption upon delivery. I was confused. I also want to complete school, so I opted to get the child aborted however my dad found out and this changed into something else. As my punishment for messing up I was made to give birth.
Which I did and due to pressure from my mum he allowed me to give the child out even though we could comfortably take care of the child. My dad kept saying he didn’t want to be reminded of how disappointed he was in me and truthfully, I didn’t want to raise any child.
I finished secondary school with flying colors years after and got a scholarship to study abroad.
My parents were so proud of me once again and I was extremely elated for that.
What else could I have asked for, I reconnected with the guy who broke my virginity, and we ended up getting married. He never knew about the pregnancy or the baby, so it wasn’t something to worry about.
So many red flags after getting married. We were hardly happy by our 7th year thus he filed for a divorce which I willingly signed.
Out of pain and shame I moved back to the states and that was when I met this young guy. Over 14 years younger than me but we clicked. I was like his missing rib; we were made or created for each other. Our heart was in sync. We enjoyed almost the same sports, movies, jokes ……everything.
He didn’t care that I was over 14 years older than him.
Life with him was heaven on earth. It felt like the best decision we both made.
We now have 3 children, and I must say he is everything I ever dreamt of.
It was one summer holiday when we visited his parents that he overheard a conversation between them and realized he was adopted. It took weeks of consoling for him to be okay and then we decided to find his parents.
This is where my problems start, to cut everything short, I have been married to my own son all this while. The son i gave up for adoption and even eventually forgot all about it came back to me.
Are our children supposed to be my grandchildren?
How do we even break this news to anyone. We hardly talk or do anything together and I don’t know if we will survive this.
I am being haunted and this is breaking us apart. As much as he doesn’t want to talk about it, I know it is eating him up gradually.

This is really a bizarre situation. They should seek counselling. Breaking is inevitable. It surely must happen.

and what will they tell the kids?

This is a very serious matter – incest and it is an abomination of the highest order cos there are children involved. Well, though it relationship and love making happened out of ignorance cos both parties were blindfolded by “love” and failed to do background checks with regards to especially their families. I believe that if they did these checks, they wouldn’t create these terrible mistake which would hunt them the rest of days they would spend on this planet. I wonder how they would cope with public ridicule which has a very serious and far reaching consequences on their lives.
I think that though the harm has already been caused, the marriage between the lady and her son must come to abrupt end. The lady must inform her parents for them to also inform the elders of the family for the necessary customs to be performed so as to break any repercussions that would befall them.
The children would need serious counseling in order to forgive their parents and move on in life. This story I must say is rather unfortunate but great lessons must be learnt especially concerning background checks when we are in a relationship before thinking of making love.
Keep up the good job my dear
Thanks.

The thing spoil finish. They should ahead and enjoy life

Hm, this is really heartbreaking.
My counsel is that they should halt the relationship. Mistakes in life is inevitable and sometimes some mistakes are hard to live with but it has happened and there’s nothing that can be done to reverse it. They should keep the children and move on with their lives. The guy can marry another woman and he’ll be fine, but the woman should just avoid any further relationship and concentrate on the children as her joy.

so why os it that the woman needs to sacrifice her entire life. u dont think women deserve the same love men crave?
