Dear GhanaWeb: I cheated on my loving husband with our prophet

Dear GhanaWeb,

I’m a 26-year-old woman, married to a police officer, and we have a daughter together. Both my husband and I are deeply committed Christians, and we rarely miss church services unless work prevents us.

A few months ago, my husband was deployed to work at the border in the Western Province for a month.

During that time, our church prophet, who has always been a respected figure in our community, offered me emotional support.

Unfortunately, this closeness led to a mistake that I now deeply regret. As a result, I found out that I’m pregnant, and while my husband believes the baby is his, I know that the child is not his.

My husband is overjoyed at the thought of welcoming another child and is already making preparations for our baby’s arrival in November.

His happiness only adds to the weight of my guilt. I’m struggling every day with the knowledge that I’ve betrayed his trust, and it’s tearing me apart inside.

The prophet, aware of the situation, has expressed concern about the potential impact this could have on his family and his position within the church.

He suggested that we consider options to keep the truth from coming out, but I’m conflicted and unsure of what to do. I love my husband dearly, and I’m terrified of the pain this revelation could cause him and our family.

I never imagined I would find myself in this situation. I feel like I’ve let everyone down, especially my husband, who has always been loving, caring, and supportive. The guilt and fear are overwhelming, and I’m seeking advice on how to navigate this difficult situation.

I’m desperate to find a way forward that could minimize the hurt for everyone involved. I just want to make things right, but I’m lost and confused.
