A wife has broken down in tears after discovering that her husband, whom she has been married to for several years and shares three children with, secretly married another woman—a heartbreaking revelation she only stumbled upon through Facebook.
The emotionally charged story was captured in a viral video that has been making the rounds on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). In the footage, the distraught woman narrated her painful journey through a marriage filled with rejection, betrayal, and eventual abandonment.
According to her, the union had always been plagued with opposition from her husband’s family, particularly his mother. The disapproval was largely based on cultural differences, as she hails from Anambra State while her husband is from Enugu State.
“There was a lot of red flags from the mum,” she recounted. “They said I’m from Anambra State, that the guy is from Enugu. The mum was never in support. She went as far as sending demonic messages to me, saying I’ll die if I don’t leave her son.”
Despite the toxic signs and resistance, the couple went ahead with the marriage. However, things didn’t improve after the wedding. The woman described her husband as deceptive and emotionally unavailable, revealing that they once went a whole year without communication even though they lived under the same roof.
“He pretends a lot, and he lied a lot,” she said tearfully. “We didn’t talk for like a year, and we were living in the same house. He was already tired of me.”
She narrated a disturbing moment in 2021 when her husband returned from a trip with another young woman. The girl began following him around and even mingled with their children. When she questioned her mother-in-law about the girl's identity, she was told the girl was just “the neighbor’s child.”
“In 2021, I came to the village, and this man came with the girl,” she said. “The girl was sitting in the parlor with my children, making the woman’s hair.”
Things became worse the following year when her husband stopped coming home altogether. To her utter shock, she later discovered on Facebook that he had married the same girl behind her back.
“The next year, we didn’t see him in the house again. Only for me to come to Facebook and see that he has already married the girl,” she said.
Speaking on how deeply the experience affected her, she added: “I just clocked 40, but if you saw me five years ago, you’d say this woman is 65.”
She explained that they met in church in Abuja, where they both lived, and eventually got married. “I’m a single mum of three. I live in Abuja. We attend the same church, and from there we started.”
The video quickly drew wide attention online, with many users taking to the comment section to sympathize with her, while others asked for more context and the husband’s side of the story.
