I once found out my mum was cheating on my dad, and I was devastated because I didn’t expect such from her. She explained to me why it happened… My dad is diabetic and can’t make love with my mum. He has been diabetic for almost seven years now. So after what my mum did, she begged me not to tell my dad, and I agreed because I didn’t want to destroy the family. The problem now is that I’m so insecure. When this happened, I monitored my mum and caught her. I was in a relationship with a woman who was five years older than me. This relationship ended a few months ago because I suspected she was a cheat. She often called a married man and spoke with him in Igbo. When I first asked who he was, she said he was a friend who helped her when she needed money to fill gas, and he promised to always return the favor by giving her anything she needed. I believed her story like a f00l.
We broke up one night when she lied about going out to get something but actually went to see that married man. I found out when I checked her phone the next day. Their chats were filled with sexual talks. When I confronted her, she told me to “think whatever I want.” The next day, we broke up. Recently, I have a new girlfriend, but I’m afraid she might be like my ex. We are of the same age. This new girl stays alone, and if I call her at night, she doesn’t pick up. Once, while we were on the phone, she cut the call when I heard a guy’s voice. When I tried calling back, she didn’t pick up and then marked my call as busy. Omo, this sparked my fear that she might be cheating, but she assured me she wouldn’t. I don’t cheat and never did on my ex. I don’t think I ever would on any partner. My problem now is that I overthink too much. Is it because of the trauma of my mum cheating on my dad? Even when I go to school (uni), I always want to know my mom’s whereabouts whenever I call home.
