I can’t ask her to abort but I’ll definitely send her packing. As for my husband, there’s no way I can love him as much as I used to. I won’t divorce him but I’ll make his life a living hell for a while by punishing him. Anytime he comes close to me on the bed, I’ll always remind him to go and meet the house-girl he impregnated.

If we don’t have children yet, I’ll have to forgive him but before then, I won’t talk to him for two weeks. One other thing that must happen is that the girl must leave the house.

I’ll send her away. When that is done, if I notice that he’s making moves to beg me, we’ll have a long and thorough talk before I consider his apology. I’ll have to keep my marriage. To do that, I’ll give the girl some money. We’ll pay her off so that she can leave us in peace.

If my husband does that kind of thing to me, I swear to God, I will revenge. This will not be in form of shouting or crying. I won’t even fight him, neither will I complain. Even when he asks me for sex, I won’t deny him. I will simply go out and find a young energetic handsome guy to make love to me as many times as possible. It has to be tit for tat because if I fail to do that, I will just die. As for the maid, I will make sure she gets rid of the pregnancy, so that My husband and I can move on.

I’ll accept the house-girl because whether we like it or not, she’s pregnant already. I’ll sit my husband down and have a serious talk with him about it. He’ll have to start by renting an apartment for the girl so I can take care of her. Look! It has happened. There’s no sense in crying over spilled milk. The earlier you accept the reality of your situation, the better for you. There’s nothing to gain by harming or scheming to harm a baby. After all, it’s not the baby that sinned.

At first, I would be very disappointed. If the person we’re talking about here were to be my boyfriend, it wouldn’t pain me that much but he’s my husband for crying out loud. The level of regard I used to have for him would plummet automatically. I’ll also lose confidence and trust in him. If we don’t have children, I’ll ask him why he did it because it’s not as if I’m barren or anything like that. I won’t take it o. In fact, I might be tempted to divorce him. I’ll surprise him. Even if we have children, I’ll still divorce him and go on with my life. I’m not cut out for polygamy or any other crazy thing like that. The Bible says: ‘One man-one wife.’

She can’t stay and I’ll ensure there’s no room for that. The girl must go so that I can continue with my man. I’m a proactive person. I don’t even believe in hiring house-girls.
