A 56-year-old Nigerian man has been left heartbroken after his wife of 16 years confessed that she lost her womb due to an abortion she underwent before their marriage.
The man, who shared his story anonymously on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), revealed that despite their long-standing struggle with childlessness, his wife only recently disclosed the truth.
He wrote:
“After 16 years of marriage without children, my wife has only confessed today that she actually lost her womb during an abortion before I met her. I’m 56 years old now.”
The confession has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many users expressing shock and offering varied opinions:
• Daniels: “This is why I always emphasize full medical checks before marriage. Secrets like this can destroy lives.”
• Iyamu: “This is deception from the start. He should consider legal action and divorce.”
• Marie: “How did they go 16 years without a medical checkup? This doesn’t add up.”
• Vivian: “He has every right to remarry if having children was his goal. This is incredibly sad.”
• Evans: “Sometimes, when there’s no child after a few years, men should consider other options discreetly.”
The post has sparked a heated debate about trust, transparency in relationships, and the role of medical checks before marriage. While some empathize with the man, others question why it took 16 years for such a critical issue to come to light.
