I am 21 years old, and currently in the UAE. I met my 35-year-old boyfriend 3 months ago after I lost my job and had nowhere to stay. I started living with him in the UAE while looking for a job. After one month, I found out I was pregnant, and he told me about it. Weeks after I did the ab0rtion, I found out through his phone that he’s married with a child in Nigeria. I confronted him, and he told me not to worry, that he loved me so much to divorce his wife and marry me. I tried to break up with him and leave his place, but I don’t have anywhere to go, and I don’t have a job either. I forgave him and stayed because I didn’t have anywhere to go. Later on, we started having issues and always fighting. He insulted me for doing the ab0rtion, saying I would have died. Mind you, I was bearing all while looking for a job because here in Dubai, most jobs come with accommodation. Two weeks ago, I found out I was pregnant again but didn’t want to tell him about it because I knew I would still have an abortion, he noticed I was pregnant but kept mute.
I complained to him that I had a headache, and he left for the pharmacy to get medicine. He came back with a medicine and told me to drink it. Stop!d me drank it without even checking the content of the medicine. I slept because I was feeling dizzy. He woke me up after two hours, telling me he knew I was pregnant again that the medicine I took was an ab0rtion p!ll that I needed to take the second dose. So I got angry. I told him I would not take it. He started crying and begging me to take it, that if I keep the child, the baby will be born with complications. So, I took the medicine and only bled a little and stopped. He fought me, saying I vomited the medicine, which I didn’t. I just didn’t bleed or maybe the medicine did not work, I don’t know, but it just happened like that. Luckily for me, I got a job as a nanny but accepted the job because I needed to run away from this man. After working for one week, it was my day off, so he begged me to come to his place for the day off. I went there, he already bought a pregnancy kit.
He told me he needed to be sure if I was pregnant or not, so I did the test, and it came out positive. I was sad. He told me he would need to buy another medicine to flush it. I told him I wouldn’t take any medicine and that I would keep my baby. He started shouting and insulting me, saying he wouldn’t be responsible for the child. He told me never to come to his place again. So, I left his place and went straight to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said the pregnancy is 2 months old, and my baby is fine. I was happy and went back to work without even calling him. He later called me and begged me to take out the pregnancy, that he would do anything for me, which I refused. I know he’s doing all this because of his wife, but I don’t care. I can’t risk my life to take medicines that might destroy my womb while his wife’s own is still healthy. I have only five months to leave in the UAE because of my visa expiry. I am not poor, I have my house and money for business in my Nigerian bank account. I will go back to Nigeria in 5 months and take good care of my baby without him. I don’t care if he exists in my unborn baby’s life. I hope I am doing the right thing.
