I cheated on my husband with my ex whiles pregnant

Dear GhanaWeb,

I’m a 30-year-old woman and I’ve been married for three years now. An ex of mine is in the country at the moment.

He texted me four days ago that he was around and wanted to meet me later that night. I told him we were far apart but he drove all the way to come and see me that night so I had to sneak to meet him because of my husband.

I have a two-year-old baby and I am currently four months pregnant. The man and I used to chat when he travelled abroad but we lost contact. He claimed he got my contact from a mate of mine when he got to Ghana a week ago.

He didn’t know I was married but I told him everything so he would stay away. He still said he wanted me, despite me being married and currently pregnant.

That evening we met, he seduced and slept with me in his car. I was ashamed and I had to sneak in to wash down so my husband wouldn’t suspect anything.

This man wants to put me into trouble because he wants us to continue our relationship. He said he loves me and would have married me if I was single. He wants to meet again; he is willing to risk everything for me.

My feelings for him have been revived. It’s not about money, I just want this man for real. My husband too noticed I’ve been off for some days now.

I think of him all the time but considering my condition, I don’t know how to manoeuvre this feeling. I love my husband too but I don’t yearn for him like I used to.

I can’t let my feelings destroy my marriage. I’m trying hard to forget about my ex but he keeps calling, texting and wanting to see me. I’m pregnant so I don’t want to be having sex on the baby.

It’s so hard to say I don’t want anything to do with this man. I need your help. What do I do now?
