What would be your reaction if you discovered that your wife of six had a child outside wedlock without telling you?

A sad black man

This has also gone to affirm the fact that no matter how long you know a woman, you may not fully get to understand her. Before we got married, Blessing and I had dated for two years and I dare say those years were that of bliss because she was all a man would want in a woman.

I had noticed that during the time we dated, there was a young boy of about four who was mostly with her and she dotted on the child. When I asked her who the boy was, Blessing told me he was her late sister's son and that since the sister died, she had been taking care of the child.

Being that loves children, I became attached to the boy and even when we got married, I allowed the boy to stay with us and even out two children saw him as their brother. So you can imagine my shock when a strange man came to my house to claim that he is the father of the boy and that Blessing was his mother.

At first, I did not believe the man and called Blessing who had gone to her office to hurry back home. When she came, she was equally surprised to see the man. When I told her what the man said, she broke down and confessed that she was actually the boy's mother and was afraid I would leave her if she had told me.

It is not as much as her having a child before we met that bothers me because I would still have married her but hiding the fact from me for eight years. She has begged me to forgive her but even though I have forgiven her, I will never trust her again and that can be dangerous for the marriage.

My mother wants me to send her packing but my father has warned me from taking such a step.

What do I do now?

Anthony."
