Hello, I’m 25 years old with a kid. In 2023, I got pregnant, and me and my man decided to keep it. That’s when my nightmare started. During my first trimester, I fell sick a lot and couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t even stand for a long time, so after 3 months, he suggested I go spend 2 weeks with his mom since she was familiar with pregnancy. I agreed because I didn’t have a choice—I’m an orphan. As time went on, whenever I came home, he would look for excuses to send me back. We continued like that until my third trimester, then I started noticing changes, he began ignoring me, getting angry, and acting distant. People told me not to take it to heart, that it happens, until this man started living with another girl and told her I forced the pregnancy on him. He started denying me. Since then, I started making plans to leave the relationship after giving birth. Later, he begged and denied everything, so we continued and even got married after I gave birth.
Then he decided he wanted to move to another state, but I couldn’t because I was in school. This guy started dating different girls and kept telling them I was just a baby mama. Fast forward to now, he continues cheating, and whenever I catch him, he gets angry and gaslights me to the point where I end up apologizing. He started creating boundaries—anytime we’re together, if I touch him, he gets angry as if I’m forcing him. Lately, it feels like he’s only trying to make me tired enough to leave, so he can manipulate the narrative that I was the one who left. But I just want to be free. We can stay in the house for one month and fight for three weeks, then play for one week. He’s always complaining that I check his phone because I’m too jealous, but now I’ve stopped complaining. If I see anything, he says I’m wicked and could see him. Right now, I’m just doing everything possible to leave this marriage. I don’t mind being a single mom—at least I’ll have my peace.
