A 56-year-old Nigerian man has shared his heartbreak after discovering that his wife, whom he married 16 years ago, lost her womb during an abortion before they met. The revelation came after years of struggling to have children, leaving him devastated.
The man, who shared his story anonymously on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that his wife only recently confessed the truth. He expressed his shock and sorrow, saying, “I’m 56 years old now.”
The post has gone viral, sparking widespread reactions. Many users have flooded the comments with advice, sympathy, and debates about trust, communication, and the impact of secrets in marriage.
See some reactions below:
Daniels: “When I say people should go for ALL medical checks before you decide to be married, so you can know what you’re getting yourself into, some people think my own is too much. They say “As long as we have faith, we’re good to go” Now look at this. Imagine a secret kept from you by your own spouse for many years.”
Iyamu: “This is evil. Legally, they should divorce. This was deception ab initio. I hope he was not coerced into ensuring all docs were signed by her with more rights than him. This is bad.”
Marie: “so the 16 yrs no, they didn’t go for medical check up? cos if they did it will definitely be revealed, the story doesn’t make sense.”
Vivian: “Massa u hv every right to marry again after forgiveness knowing you wanted kids n she doing that to u is also a crime against marital rules ahh aden ask her how she will feel if it were the other way round this is soo sad.”
Evans: “In some situations even after 5 years if ur woman is not getting pregnant just look else where get a side chick nd pregnate her period.”
Prince: “Forget about my past forget about my past nah the outcome be this. Am sure this man nah woman advocate.”
