      I’m starting to feel very depressed my ex came from a culture where it was acceptable to have more than one wife I always checked before entering the relationship it was only me he wanted but later found he was living a double life.since this I’ve learned that it’s very common for people his culture to have a wife and a woman on the side which they are never remourse full of.I’ve realised there has always been someone else there despite carrying his children if I had known I would never of had his kids I feel like he’s took some of my life away I’m now a single parent & can’t have more kids if I want a proper family again due to personal issues.I’m devestated he’s took away any choices I could have and is giving now this other woman everything now I’ve left.nothing will be secret and a lot of the side woman don’t care it’s just how the culture is they don’t care there is another woman involved.they usually give the other woman everything cars ,houses ,money &I’ve spent all my time in the relationship years and got nothing out of it.I’m just devastated & it’s making me very depressed that I was that meaningless I’ve been crying so much.and feel bad for my poor kids without a dad who’s reliable.i constantly feel upset I ended up in this position and gunna be alone in this life .

      Oh Mellow, I feel for you, that sounds so hard.

      I understand where that comes from, I felt like I had fed myself a line about what my life was after I discovered all the reality of it. Its such a shock isn’t it.

      Its completely natural that you would be reacting this way and have many tears to cry as you let go of all that you had hoped for, when in fact he never was that reliable father figure your children needed, or the loyal loving husband you had believed.

      Give yourself time to grieve however you need to, this does stop, pass, and you will move on beyond the emotions and heal in time.

      Do take extra good care of yourself while you grieve this loss.

      warmest wishes

      ts
