I Thought He Was Perfect

-

THE man I regarded as my perfect man has betrayed me after dating for him for six years. Before now, we were near perfect. He treated well. He took care of me provided for me. The major problem in our relationsh­ip was that he never initiated sex. Most of the time, I made the move, even if it was boring, I always tried to spice it up. I still enjoyed it because I really loved. I thought he loved me also.

For two years, I tried to live with it because he made me believe each time I talked to him about it, that he was really busy, since he got a new job and that he had a target to meet up with. I understood and vowed to help him achieve whatever he wanted, but to my utter dismay, I discovered he had impregnate­d a 19year- old girl.

I was cleaning one morning when I discovered a new a phone and a SIM card. I was very curious so I inserted the SIM card into the phone. Immediatel­y I switched on the phone on, several text messages came in. The first message I set my eyes on read: “I will not get rid of the pregnancy. You promised me you will love me forever, and it is against my tradition.”

Before I could say jack, the phone rang. I picked it, and it was the same number that sent the text message and a lady’s voice. When she heard my voice, she warned me to steer clear of her man. I could not say anything, but imagined with the voice I heard, she was in her early 20s.

When he got back from work that day, I confronted him and he denied it not until I showed him the phone. The look on his face showed that he did not believe I would find out. He begged me to forgive him that he did not know what came over him, promising he was going to take care of the situation. I tried to forgive and live with it, not until I also discovered there was another lady he was dating, which seemed to be his colleague. There were so many more things he did that I can mention here. I needed to make a decision because even though I love him so much, I just have to quit because I can not trust him anymore. There is no true love without trust. I am 27 and very good looking. I thought he would be contented with me. But, that is not the case,
