I am a single mother with three children and I think love is overrated. It doesn’t exist!. I have not been lucky at all with love. The father of my first two children treated me with disdain and disgust. From the moment I mistakenly got pregnant for him, he became a different man. Although we didn’t plan the pregnancy at the time, he accepted responsibility and we got married quietly. However, it was obvious that he wasn’t too keen on the marriage as he never behaved like a responsible father or husband. All attempts to make him live up to his responsibility failed as he would constantly remind me that he was unprepared for the marriage institution and was practically forced into it.

Shortly after I had my first child, I soon found myself pregnant again when she was only three months old. I was really distraught but didn’t want to have an abortion so I gave birth to the second child. By the time of the birth of my second child, it was obvious to all and especially my husband and I that there was no marriage. We were just cohabiting and always fighting. I didn’t want to raise my children in a toxic environment. Eventually, we got a divorce quietly. Neither of us contested the divorce. I guess he was relieved to be let off the hook and so was I.

Four years later, I met Mike. Mike is a married man who said he just liked me and we should be friends. He would make time for me and my children and slowly I began to fall in love with him and wish he was mine. In fairness to Mike, he never said he loved me and made no promises of leaving his wife either; though he hinted once that he was happier spending time with me and my children.

About six months after I became close to this man, I discovered I was pregnant again. He was upset! He changed totally towards me. He even denied paternity as according to him, he wasn’t sure how many other people I had slept with. He told me that we had no “pregnancy agreement” and had believed since I was a single mother of two, I was a “big girl” who knew how to take care of herself. That’s how I have ended up with three children with no father in their lives. Tell me, is there something wrong with me or am I cursed? I need to know as I am almost going crazy.
