Man Who Married His Late Wife’s Friend Laments After She Asked Him To Make Her Son From A Previous Marriage The Next Of Kin

“I & My late wife were this happy & close. We shared everything together. Our marriage was so peaceful. Unfortunately, i lost her 3 years ago, my wife unfortunately passed away after a brief illness, leaving me with our 3 daughters.

A year later, I married her best friend. She had been very close to my late wife & visited often, especially since she was also a widow. She has 3 grown children: two daughters and a son. ​She was always there to console me after the loss of my wife, particularly when I was emotionally broken. Gradually, I found myself falling in love with her. We started a relationship that led to marriage a year later. I married her cause I believed we shared a deep connection; since we were both widowed and she had been such a close friend, I believed our union would create a strong bond.

​The first year of our marriage was peaceful, but now everything feels terrible. I am drowning in pain in my own home. I am married to a woman whose children are old enough to be on their own, yet we all still live under the same roof. One minute they are supposedly studying & I am paying their fees; a few months later, they are sitting at home skipping classes. When I question them, my wife becomes defensive & claims that I simply “don’t want” her children. All I want is to be respected. I cannot pay for an education only to find them sitting at home doing nothing with no results to show for my money.

​I have played my part as a stepfather, even to the point of neglecting my own children. Because of constant fighting in the house, I pushed them away. My eldest daughter got married the same year I remarried; she eventually came back to take her younger siblings after hearing how they were being treated. Now, my own children cannot even visit my house. They are angry with me, & I am currently not on speaking terms with my eldest daughter because of my wife. My daughter hates me because of how I have treated them.

​I never thought I would see the day I was insulted by my wife’s daughter. During an argument, she interfered and called me names, and her mother did not even caution her. She remained silent while her 26-year-old daughter the same age as my own eldest disrespected me. My own children have never even raised their voices at me.

​Now, my wife claims that since I do not have a son, I should put her 24-year-old son in charge of my businesses. This is the same boy I have spent millions on to send to the best schools, yet he chooses to loiter around the neighborhood. My wife isn’t bothered; instead, she squanders my money on him, giving him anything he asks for. Her children disrespect me and refuse to listen to me.

​I have made bad choices in life, but this is the worst. I sometimes feel like packing my bags and never looking back. My own children won’t speak to me cuz I chose her over them. Some days I just want to delete myself 😭😭 I’m battling with depression i feel less of a man. I don’t have a say in my own house, my daughters hate me, even my own extended family no longer bother nor interfere in anything that has to do with me. Everyone that seemed to care or once loved me has abandoned me, i feel alone. I’ve lost weight, & I am not okay 😭’
