You were wrong and you apologised.
I just hope you are not considering quiting your job. He's already rubbing it in your face that you are not fertile. Imagine adding jobless to the mix. He'll rub that in too forgetting he asked you to leave.

He's already abusing you emotionally. You have to be strong dear. And by being strong you have to know when to leave.


Mehn, put ur self in that man's shoe pls.. Abeg nothing hurts more than something like this..

I hate lies.. She is passing thru what he passed thru the day he heard the truth..

She should pay for her sins. Every action has effects.. If she can start business, she should quit her job. That man doesn't want anything to happen to his kids..

The thought of not having any from her anymore is killing him.

She should give him time and keep making peace.. She deceived him and it is not something that u expect him to forgive just like that.. It will take time o. Betrayal of trust from people we love hurts badly..

I don't even know how to start, I'm really sad and i know it is my fault, i'm sorry if it's a long read i need advise please bear with me.

When i was still single at age 29, I left a relationship that turned out be a mistake so it took time before i met someone else, at age 31 I noticed changes in my period (one month off, one month on) it has never happened to me before so i didnt take it to be anything, then it started skipping 2 months at a roll, then 3 months, i became worried cos i wasn't sexualy active at all. During this period i met my husband and we started something serious, to be on a safe side i went to see the doctor, he said i was fine that it's hormonal changes, he gave me some drugs (mostly vitamins) but it was still skipping, when my husband proposed, i went back to the doctor, he did series of tests, when results came out he said i'm having symptoms of POF, i was shocked, i cried and cried cos it's unheard of for someone my age, i told him i'm about to get married what can i do he said i should start taking hormonal injections since it's too early to be POF, i started taking it and praying all will be fine, all this while i didnt say a word of this to my husband to be or anyone else, then we got married, i took in immediately, it was the happiest day of my life, when we discovered it was triplets i cried tears of joy to the extent that my husband wondered why i was soo happy, i gave birth to 2 boys and a girl, i really thank God for his faithfulness cos i was soo nervous during the pregnancy.

My period was still skipping, then this year march it stopped completely, i went to see 2 different doctors to be sure, they confirmed i have POF (early menopause), i cried and still thank God cos he blessed me with the fruit of the womb but i couldnt bring myself to tell my husband, then he started noticing i dont buy sanitary pad anymore, he asked thinking i was pregnant i always tell him no, at a point he had to ask me if i want to make the pregnancy a surprise, that was when i knew it's time to tell him the truth, i knelt down and told him everything, i held nothing back, he was shocked that i could do something like that to him, he said i should have told him before we got married, i told him he wouldnt have married me if i told him, he was angry, he said what if the hormonal injections didnt work, it was an expensive and wicked gamble, i told him it worked that's what matters now, he abused me and walked out of the house, he didnt come home till the next day, since then things have never been the same.

He hardly talks to me except when necessary, we dont gist and joke anymore, i always beg and beg him, he says he's forgiven me but he goes back to his moody self, we hardly make love anymore, when he finally does, he doesnt look at my face, now he wants me to quit my job so i'll have my full attention on the kids, recently we had a fight about it and i told him point blank i cant quit my job the kids are fine he said i must do that, he doesnt want anything happening to them since i'm no more fertile, who says that? I cried my eyes out that night, It's not my fault nature took it's course on me, i never imagined something like this would ever happen to me.

Now he doesn't talk to me at all anymore, i'm about to tell both our families everything cos i've begged and begged him and i'm tired, i want anonymous advise that's why i'm here, please please married men and women or whoever, how do i go about this?


This is tough. The cat is out and cannot be hidden anymore.....

Your husband is clearly disgusted at the level of deceit and cannot believe you kept such a secret from him....

I think, your best bet is to see a marriage therapist (not your pastor, imam, babalawo or families)....

Goodluck.....

You acted wrongly. Plain and simple.

He has every right to be angry with you for keeping such a vital information from him before the marriage.

Does your husband work and earn enough to take care of the entire family? If he does, I'll suggest you listen to him with regards to quitting your job and taking care of your kids. With time, he can save money and setup a small business for you. Once your kids are all grown, you can then consider work again.

My dear, once trust is broken, it is very difficult to get it back, especially if your husband has been very faithful to you.

I don't want to say anything hurtful but I have to. Ma'am your husband is being a jerk. You guys are bless with three beautiful kids - is there anything greater than this?! Yes, you gambled. It's a wicked thing but it's in the past and it worked BTW. So he need to grow up and forgive you. Just carry on and tell your in-laws. All will be well.

A real Jerk he is..If the Lady were to be barren sort of I for say she be bad fellow..but for crying out loud you already got triplets immediately you got married..Your condition isnt any fault of yours and you are blessed with triplets..As in triplets wey the people wey no get any issue dey beg for even just one of them oo

Maybe he does not love the OP sha,cos he should have forgiven her as she has compensated him with 3 wonderful gifts from Nature..

In short i dont even know what to say again.I feel like slapping the Man sha...

P.S..DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB!..DO NOT..DO NOT..IN CAPS

Lol..were you expecting me to give the cliche Nigerian wife "pray that God touches his heart" advice?

I say it again! She has to leave if it gets to that point. From the write up above, her husband is outright disrespectful and obviously doesn't care about her needs and wants. Imagine telling her to stay and take care of the children so that nothing happens to them since she knows she's not fertile. How insensitive!

OP apologise to him again(if you need to because this is an issue of trust and is quite sensitive too) but tell him squarely that you are not quitting your job. Also give him some more time. If he's not budging , you know what to do.
Its very easy to say leave, since you don't have your own husband

The truth is that you deceived him. Well we all deceive men one way or the other. You started dating when you were 29, what happened between 21-28, you were sleeping around with married men I guess

This is as a repercussion for the evils you must have done in school and to other women’s homes. Now yours will be shattered. We ladies don’t hear or listen and eventually it will lead to our downfall


Let your husband look for some one fertile and responsible. By the way Are you sure those kids are his?

So,stay at home and watching the kids 24/7 will stop bad things happening to them. That will stop fire outbreak. That will stop injury when they are playing in school. That will stop oil tanker explosion on their way to school. Your husband is funny. 3 children are not that risky compare to many people with just 1.

I guessed how you told him caused this problem. The Doctor you met before marriage never confirm POF. How could you have told him that you got POF. The only mistake was that you didn't share your medical history with him.

I'm not a fan of secret but your husband need to chill. I'm very sure that there is even a solution somewhere to this POF of a thing.Research.

Ur only mistake was telling Ur husband u were aware of Ur status before marriage. As it is u just have to keep showing him u r genuinely sorry and hope he will accept cos sincerely thats d only thing u can hold on to now. More importantly u have 3 kids, beautiful kids I believe....is dt not enough reason for u to be happy?
And madam quitting Ur job will be a bigger mistake than telling Ur husband about d POF....Be wise and be happy

Your husband should be grateful he already have three kids, that in itself was a compensation from God. Though u should have opened to him about initio before he proposed, well he should just forgive and ease himself the burden he carries.
Madam I will advise u not to quit ur job, it's ur only security right now so that u don't end up losing at both ends. It's ideal u involve both families, but in the long run prepare ur mind for the worst.
Wish u all the best...POF is not the end of life.

There isnt more to it, i kept it from him before marriage that's why he's reacting this way, he said it was a risky gamble, and i have apologised multiple times.

I had triplets.

you guys should move past it joor. thank God u had triplets after those injections. if he wants more kids, then place yourself on the injections and born more for him. In this Nigerian economy, does he want more kids?

after 3 kids na to dey flex ur wife and enjoy your marriage na.

I assume everything you said is the truth. If it is the truth, your husband needs to grow up. He is not matured at all. How many children does he want to have? Some people are still waiting on God for years, yet he has 3 kids at a time, and he is not giving thanks to God. Is he planning to have more kids after triplets? Is he a billionaire? A lot of men don't understand that possibly because women are of weaker sex they find it difficult to hit the nail on the head just like that by telling the truth. Yes, you made the mistake of not telling him before marriage, but then God has blessed you with 3 kids what else does he want. If you have entered menopause straight away without children he would have have a point, but that is not the case here. Keep on praying to God to intervene and i believe he will calm down.
