Stay and endure… or walk away and start again?
No insults please.
Anonymous Story
I have been married for 5 years… and I’m honestly tired.
I met my husband when I was 27. Back then, he was still trying to find his feet. He used to come to my office during lunch break just to see me, even if it was for 10 minutes.
He wasn’t rich, but he was kind.
I believed him, even when my mum and some friends said he doesn't have anything yet.
After we got married, things were not easy.
There were days we had to calculate money before cooking.
I even contributed part of my savings to help him start his business.
I stood by him through everything.
Fast forward to now… God has blessed him.
He now drives a better car.
Money is coming in.
We moved to a better apartment.
On the outside, everything looks perfect.
But inside this marriage… I feel empty.
He doesn’t talk to me like before.
These days, he comes back late, sometimes past 11pm.
If I ask, it’s “work stress” or “meetings.”
He eats, presses his phone, and sleeps.
No conversation. No connection.
Even on weekends, he’s always busy.
Meanwhile, I’m at home with the children… or just sitting alone, scrolling through my phone.
What really broke me was last month.
He said he was traveling for business.
But something didn’t sit right with me.
Two days later, A friend saw pictures on someone’s WhatsApp status which she screenshoted to me. It was my husband… in a lounge… with another woman. Holding her like I used to be held.
Jesus 😢 😢 My heart dropped.
That night, when he came back, I couldn’t even shout. I was just numb.
Later, I checked his phone.
Yes, I know it’s wrong… but I needed to be sure I wasn’t going crazy.
What I saw… I wish I didn’t see it.
Different chats, Different women.
Good morning messages, pet names… even sending them money.
The same man that will tell me “manage, things are tight”…
I confronted him the next day.
Do you know what he said?
“You should be grateful. At least you’re enjoying now.??
Enjoying what exactly?
A house without peace?
A husband I can’t recognize anymore?
Sometimes, I sit in the living room after everyone has slept… and I just cry quietly.
Because this is not the marriage I prayed for.
But the truth is… I still love him.
And I don’t even know if I’m strong enough to leave.
I told my mum, she said marriage is for better and worse that I should endure.
People, I'm very tired 😭😭😭
