A husband and father sent this message to me and asked that I share it with you all for advice. Please be gentle with your comments, as he is already going through depression.

I am a married man in my early fifties and I am carrying a heavy burden that I cannot keep inside anymore. I have my wife and children here with me in Abuja, but years ago, while I was working in Akwa Ibom, I got involved with another woman. That relationship grew deeper than I ever expected, and today, I have a family with her too.

The truth is that my wife and children in Abuja know nothing about this. They see me as a loving husband and father, but I know I have betrayed them in the worst way possible. I thought I could manage both sides, but the guilt has been eating me alive. Every time I look at my wife, who has stood by me through thick and thin, I feel ashamed.

My children in Abuja see me as their hero, yet I have another set of children in Akwa Ibom who also call me daddy. Sometimes when I am with one family, I feel like I am betraying the other.

Now I am at a crossroads. I do not know how to tell my wife the truth without destroying her completely. I don’t know how my children in Abuja will look at me once they find out. At the same time, I feel it is unfair to keep hiding my second family as if they don’t exist.

Please, I am seeking advice. Should I confess to my wife and children in Abuja and risk losing everything I have built? Or should I continue keeping this secret and carry the guilt for the rest of my life?

Please share your thoughts kindly in the comments. He is looking to you all for guidance, and your words may help him find the strength to face this situation.
