(Read First Part)Dear readers,Todays writer claimed to have destroyed her chance of marital bliss. She needs your help,. Please, read and advise her.Thanks, Monica TaiwoGbola had a pedigree; he came from a very comfortable background. His father was a former minister while his mother, a popular business woman in one of the very popular fabric markets in the country. I dont want to mention his family name for privacy sake.When I eventually agreed to date him, he treated me like a queen and he actually called me his queen.Just before he approached me for a relationship, he had to quit a relationship because the lady he was dating then was unfaithful to him and their relationship.He told me that he made several efforts to make her change but he was not lucky, eventually, he had to pack up the relationship.He told one of the reasons why he was attracted to me was the fact that he noticed that I was one of the few unattached serious girls in our department.Few months into our relationship, I took him home and introduced him to my family; I also told him everything about myself and the fact that I had a child before coming to Lagos.I was shocked because Gbola didnt mind at all, and from the day I introduced him to my family he began to take responsibility for my child. He changed my sons school to a better one and he also helped with the education of my siblings, and also gave my mother some money to boost her business. This was easy for him because aside from coming from a comfortable background, he was also in a business that usually took him out of the country most of the time.Since he came into my life, everything I use including my cosmetics and toiletries, were bought by him whenever he travelled abroad. My life changed completely and every one who knew me rejoiced with me.The snag in our relationship however was the fact that Gbolas mother did not like me, she preferred the lady he was dating before he met me. She refused to believe that they had ended their relationship before Gbola began to date me. She blamed me for destroying their relationship.Gbola tried all he could to convince his mother that he met me after his relationship with his former girlfriend ended, but she insisted that he should make up with her.Gbolas refusal to make up with his ex made his mother to be hostile to me. I was also always uncomfortable in her presence. I dont know how she discovered that I had a son; this futher made her hostility very intense. I was surprised she knew because Gbola said we should not tell her until we settled down.Gbolas dad however warmed up to me and he really liked me and made me comfortable whenever he saw me. In fact, sometimes when Gbola travelled, he would call to ask how I was doing.Things however took a turn during one of Gbolas trip abroad. His mother asked to see me, I went to her shop to meet with her and I was surprised to see Gbolas ex girlfriend waiting for me as well. The bottomline of their gist was that I should leave Gbola alone and I was equally informed that she would be travelling that night to join Gbola and they would be having their wedding in London.I refused to believe them, but I did not tell them that, I knew Gbola and his stance concerning this lady. I made up my mind to listen to whatever he tells me.Unfortunately, I tried to reach him for several days but I couldnt, he also did not call me.When he eventually did, he told me he was sick. I relayed what his mother said about him and Layo ( the other lady). He asked me to forget whatever his mother said as he knew what he was doing, and confirmed that it was true that Layo was in London and she was staying in his house.I was shocked and I discussed all these with my aunty, she asked that I exercise patience and hear from Gbola any time he came back. He did confirm what he said and told me that Layo was still in London even while he came home.I was ready to believe him, but my mother said I should not trust him completely, more so after he told me that he would stay abroad for about one year at his next trip, which he did. He actually stayed over a year.Although during this one year he called regularly, he sent money for my up keep and that of my son, but I was uncomfortable with the fact that Layo was staying in the same house with him.I started a relationship with another man, although my auntie and uncle were against it, but my mother gave her support and blessing. The worst happened when I became pregnant for him, and he insisted that I got rid of the pregnancy when it was a little too late. I also learnt that he was a happily married man.I was still trying to sort this out when Gbola came back to the country. I had no choice but to avoid him. He came back over a month ago, but I havent had the guts to see him.He asked my aunty to confirm if I was truly pregnant, but she told him to see me and sort things out, but I am not ready to see him.Please, Taiwo, what do I do Because I eventually learnt that Gbola only housed Layo for the period of her Master s degree and that she would soon be getting married to the man she met in London.Please, help me.Elizabeth Bolanle
