"Dear Pulse,
'My wife of 15 years told me our three sons are not mine'
What would be your reaction if your wife tells you the kids are not yours?
My name is Osondu and I am from the eastern part of the country. As I write this, my heart is very heavy and I do not know what steps to take.
I have been married to Chika for the past 15 years and I thought we had a lovely family with three sons, aged 13, 10 and 8 years respectively.
But something happened six months ago that is threatening to tear me apart and if care is not taken, could lead to my death.
Chika began attending a new pentecostal church and I guess one of their requirements on being a dedicated Christian is to confess all transgressions to your partner, or something like that, because she woke me up one morning and told me she had a confession to make.
Then she dropped the bomb: the three boys are actually not mine. She told me she had been maintaining a even after we got married and that the boys belong to him.
At first I would not believe her until she confessed before our two families.
My family want us to do a DNA test on the children but what if they turn out not to be mine, what would I do? I have loved and nurtured these kids all my life and I cannot afford to lose them to someone else. And my mind would not be at rest seeing their faces everyday knowing they may not be mine.
What steps should I take to resolve this troubling issue?
Osondu,
Lagos."
