Dear GhanaWeb,

I am faced with a difficult situation where I am being blackmailed by my driver. He is threatening to tell my wife about my infidelity if I do not pay him GHC10,000.

In 2015, I cheated on my wife with our salesgirl, which lasted for three years until she ended it out of fear of being caught by my wife.

In 2018, I had another affair with a different lady that lasted four years before she also ended things to find someone to settle down with.

Unfortunately, my driver caught me with another lady in one of my shops, recorded the incident, and is now using it to extort money from me.

While obtaining the money is not the main issue, I am struggling with how to explain to my wife why I need such a large sum to pay off a blackmailer.

Additionally, if she were to discover my secrets, I fear she would leave me and ruin everything we have built together.

I am filled with regret for my actions, and I am at a loss for what to do next.
