He was a saint when we met but now…

My husband was already the father of three children from three different women when I met him. I knew he had children with multiple women from the start. But let me tell you something: If a man is in love with you and wants to marry you, he will go to any length to impress you. That is exactly what my husband did to me. I had no issues with his baby mamas when we were dating. I wasn’t noticing them. I hadn’t even seen his kids. He set up accounts for them, and they received monthly payments from those accounts. He was also not pursuing other girls. He demonstrated to me that he had matured and desired to settle down. I considered all of these factors and concluded that his baby mamas would not interfere with our marriage in the future. The threats began when our wedding invitation began to circulate. I was getting messages all over the place. Some people warned me against dating a womanizer. Others were more frightening, such as “I won’t survive the marriage.”

I showed them to my husband, who told me not to worry because it was part of his job. He works in the office of a well-known politician, and he believes it was a political attack on him, so I shouldn’t be concerned. Then I opened Facebook, and this woman had written a lengthy story in my direct message. It was about how my husband dated her while they were at school, leaving her a single mother. She claimed that my husband promised to marry her but did not follow through. I didn’t respond to her. When I asked my husband about it, he dismissed it.

He was looking after me and I was very comfortable, as was my mother. But after only two years, I wish I had listened and walked away. I have a one-year-old son with him, and I am already unable to remain in the marriage. My husband is doing a poor job of concealing the other girls from me. I’ve witnessed his conversations with university girls. These girls are seducing him for money even though he works in a political office. I’ve been there before, so I know what to expect. I’m at a loss for words. My husband abandons me for days or weeks for no apparent reason other than work, but I know he is seeing other women. He only knows how to spend money on me and let me buy expensive things, but I no longer feel the affection he used to show me when we were dating. I have the impression that he has taken me as his wife and has abandoned me at home to pursue other women.

The worst part is that his children have decided to visit him and come to our house. When they arrive, their mothers accompany them, which makes me very unhappy. My husband does not have time to play with or even carry our child. His attention is always elsewhere. I recently went to a function with my husband, and he excused himself because he needed to use the restroom. He lingered, so I went to check on myself. He had one lady cornered and they were conversing. He wasn’t even afraid to do it in public. People at the function knew he was married, but he didn’t seem to mind. I am unable to divorce him. The marriage has benefited my entire family. Even the brother who opposed our marriage has gotten a good job as a result of him.

Any man who has a child with multiple women is a serial womanizer. Such people do not change, no matter how many times they claim to. My husband was behaving like a saint while chasing me, but here I am today. After I gave him a child, he treats me like old cargo. He’s looking for fresh meat. I’m not unlike any of his other mothers. The only difference is that I’m wearing a ring. He’s had enough of me chasing after one child and looking for another. It’s only a matter of time before I find out he’s had another girl. I wish I had avoided such a man because the warning signs were there, but I still married him. Please keep such men at a distance. Your time has come, for girls who have decided to pursue married men. We are all reaping the benefits of our efforts. Please post for me, Admin. Thank you very much.
