I am about to lose my marriage of nine years. I am a young, ambitious, and hardworking woman in my early 30s. My husband’s business collapsed in January this year, and since then, he has been struggling to stand again. Even with that, he still provides 100% for the house. Sometimes, he asks me to give him a few days to get the things we need, and trust me, he always gets everything. He was the one who sponsored me through university. After we got married, he opened a big shop for me, which is now generating a lot of money.
He never asked me to support the house financially; he takes care of everything alone without complaining. I told my eldest sister that I wanted to boost my husband’s business with eight million naira, and she started shouting, “How can you give your husband such a huge amount when our only brother, who recently returned from India, needs money to start a business?” Meanwhile, our dad invested money in my brother twice on him, but he wasted it all trying to impress people. I gave my brother the eight million naira last month to start his business.
I don’t know how my husband found out, but four days ago, he woke me up in the middle of the night and asked if I gave my brother the money. I was shocked, but I told him no. I had no idea he had evidence. Yesterday evening, I found him crying in our bedroom. When I asked him what was wrong, he just looked at me and asked, “Who am I to you?” I replied, “You are my husband, of course.” He said no, that he’s a total stranger to me and that I’ve been watching him struggle without doing anything. I immediately felt very bad and started crying. He left the house a few minutes later, and up until now, I have not seen or heard from him.
I’ve been calling his number, but he’s not picking up. This morning, I went to his shop, but it was locked. I asked his closest friend about him, and he said that when my husband called him last night, he was crying and didn’t say anything. When his friend tried to find out what was wrong, my husband hung up and hasn’t called back. I am totally confused, and I don’t know what to do. I really need people’s opinions and advice. Thanks, I will be in the comments section.
