How I Saved My Married Lover’s Marriage

Saved? Yes I saved the marriage of my married boyfriend. I met him through my sister and he didn’t want to let me go. He was smitten by my seemingly innocence and cute face. Even though I had started crushing on him already because he was just too charming, it was not until 3 months after we met that I said yes to him. He was obviously about 15 years older but he was a fine man, tall and fair and had fine manners.

The down side about him was he was a married man and a father of three. I only got to know later because he never wore a wedding ring. In my mind, I knew I was crossing the line. I had always been an advocate for staying off married men. I would say, “I would like to meet his wife someday and without a hint of guilt  be able to tell her, “”I am pleased to meet you.”” But I couldn’t resist Kunle’s charms.

I vividly remember the first day we kissed. It was so magical even though I didn’t see it coming. Well, we went on to become lovers. He gave me money every now and then and we saw every now and then but I fell so much in love with him so much I wanted to speak to him all the time. Obviously, that was a problem because he was a married man. People who date married men, just how do you do it?

I couldn’t call him or see him when I wanted to. It became clear that I had limited access to him and it just didn’t match with the level of emotions that I had developed for him. One day, I asked him why he was cheating on his wife with me if he was so happy at home. He opened up and told me that his wife and him have both grown apart and he was no longer getting some TLCs at home.

One day, while we were at our usual love nest, at a house belonging to one of his friends who always shuttles between Nigerian and the US when Kunle’s wife stormed the house. She banged on the door so hard that I thought she would break it. From where I peeped through a window on the top floor, I could see she in the company of some people. She shouted and called out Kunle who dressed up and went downstairs to meet her.

She said, “I know that you have a girl in there, open this door.”

I was shaking with fear as many thoughts crossed my mind. What will happen to me if his wife finds me here? Will I be beaten and disgraced like a common thief? I know I am a good girl, I only happened to fall in love with the wrong guy. How will I be able to face his knowing fully well that my involvement with him was obviously a pain to her. I thought she didn’t care so much but on the contrary, she still did. I prayed so hard, I told God that I will make it right by her if he saves me from this impending embarrassing situation.

Thankfully, after a heated exchange of words, Kunle’s wife retreated and went home. I could no longer stay a moment with Kunle, so I left him after telling him to go and sort out things with this wife. About three weeks later, Kunle called to beg me to meet him at our usual hangout and I reluctantly agreed. Getting there, he seemed he was in a haste but at the same time wanted us to have sex but I refused. He had obviously moved all his belongings from his house to his friend’s house.

The situation with his wife had degenerated to the point that he moved out of his family home. He was preparing to go somewhere that day and was in search for a particular piece of clothing items. As he riffled through his things something like a ring fell on the floor. I picked it up, looked at it and he told me it was his wedding ring which he had not worn in about two years since the problems with his wife escalated.

I took his wedding finger and slipped the ring through. I told him to go back home wearing the ring. He looked at me wide-eyed and shocked. He did exactly what I told him to do. The result? Kunle told me his wife almost had a heart attack when he came home wearing his ring. That single act did something to her and she’s been so loving and caring ever since. He on the other side has been responding to her and is willing to work on his marriage again. He thanked me so much for my intervention and I felt happy and fulfilled.

This was years ago. Currently, I am married to the most amazing man and I have two beautiful children of my own.
