Dear GhanaWeb,

I got married four years ago. My husband and I tried every possible way to get pregnant but to no avail. We ran test after test, and every result indicated that both of us were capable of having children. We resorted to prayers.

After two years, my husband became calmer and kept assuring me that everything was going to be fine. He did everything possible to calm my nerves. He bought me a new car, took me on vacation, and gave me money to fund my business. I continued to wait on God and kept praying.

A year later, I found out that I was pregnant. You can imagine our joy. We were so happy, and immediately started planning for the arrival of our baby. There were even plans to deliver the baby in another country.

Three months into my pregnancy, I discovered an unfortunate situation. I found out that my husband had a child with another woman two years ago, and that woman was pregnant again and almost due. The woman's sister anonymously called me and advised me to talk to my husband to marry their daughter and stop her from having children out of wedlock for him.

I was shocked. I asked the woman if she knew I was his legal wife. She said it didn't matter and that their daughter could be a second wife. She also sent pictures of the child my husband had with the other woman, including pictures from the hospital when the child was born, the naming ceremony, and other events.

It made sense why he suddenly grew calm and was showering me with gifts. I confronted him, and he confirmed everything. He told me he thought I wasn't going to have children soon and that he was getting older. He needed a child to inherit his properties, so he found someone who would have children for him.

He said the plan was for the woman to give him three children without the need for marriage, and she had agreed. He didn't understand why her family was now demanding marriage. I feel so disappointed in my husband for cheating on me.

I believed and trusted him, and now I'm confused about what to do next. Should I leave the marriage, or should I allow another woman to come and stay in our house?
