What would you advice a woman who had three children from another while in her husband's home?

A really worried woman

'Dear Pulse,

My name is Opeyemi and I am a married woman with three children. I have been married for 15 years but I have been keeping a which has been eating into me and after I ran to my pastor to confess, he told me to tell my husband and his family so I can have peace.

Before people start castigating me, I would want you to understand that I did what I did because of the love I have for my husband though it seems I went a little overboard on reflection.

After five years of marriage and trying all means of getting pregnant to no avail, my husband's family were on my neck to give them a child, as if I was the reason we could not have one.

My husband and I did a lot of tests together and it turned out he had watery sperm and the doctors told us it would take a miracle for him to get me pregnant, giving us a 20% chance.

But when the pressure from my husband's family got out of hand, I was forced to seek help outside and that was how I persuaded my ex-boyfriend to get me pregnant and he did: three times.

Now my husband and his people think the children are his and he would be shattered if he hears that they are not his. And to compound issues, the father of my children has been threatening thunder and brimstone, wanting to take back his children. That was what forced me in the first place to go to my pastor.

I am at a cross roads at the moment and do not know what to do.

Opeyemi,

Lagos."

Dear readers, on Morning Teaser today, we ask: what would you advice Opeyemi to do? Should she confess to her husband, sue the ex-boyfriend or keep quiet and wait for doomsday?
