Dear GhanaWeb: I am in a dangerous love affair and don't know how to end it

Dear GhanaWeb,

I find myself in a dangerous love affair and I am unsure of how to bring it to an end.

Prior to deciding to move our friendship to a romantic level, I was unaware that she was a married woman until her husband threatened me to stay away from his wife.

I informed her of the threat and she explained that her marriage was on the brink of collapse, with divorce proceedings already in motion.

Despite her assurances, the threats from her husband persisted. The first threat was not serious and I brushed it off, but the second threat left me shaken and fearful for my safety.

I decided to end our relationship, however, she refused to accept my decision. I reminded her that until the divorce is finalized, she is still married and my safety is at risk.

Since the breakup, she has been bombarding me with constant phone calls and unwelcome visits, causing me great distress.

I am at a loss as to how to proceed. Should I end the relationship and distance myself, or should I stay and try to work through the situation?

Any advice on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated.
