Woman discovers husband faked death to marry another woman in US

In a true story shared on social media, a woman recounted the harrowing ordeal of discovering that her husband, who was supposedly taken to the United States for cancer treatment, had faked his death and remarried, leaving her and their three children destitute.

The story begins with the woman’s husband traveling to the US for a critical cancer surgery, accompanied not by his wife, but by his sister.

The husband insisted that his wife stay behind, promising to keep her informed. However, the updates were scarce, and communication was limited to a weekly phone call from his sister.

As the surgery date approached, the woman received a devastating text message from her husband: “My love, the surgery is over but the doctors are not sure if I will make it. If I don’t survive, please take care of our children… I used our house as collateral to get a loan for the procedure. If you can pay off the loan, you can keep the house. Unfortunately, our bank accounts are empty. I won’t be able to call you and hear your sorrow. Please pray for me to pull through. Goodbye my heart.”

The message plunged her into despair. She cried incessantly, unable to reach him or get detailed information about his condition.

After four agonizing weeks, his sister called with the grim news that her husband had passed away and would be buried in America. She was informed that his body would not be returned home for burial, leaving her in a state of grief and confusion.

Years later, the painful truth surfaced: her husband was alive, living with another woman in the US, and had sold everything they had worked for together. He had deceived her, abandoned his family, and left them without any financial support.

Despite the profound betrayal, the woman chose to focus on rebuilding her life. She expressed gratitude for her children and the support of her sister in Badagry. Securing a new job enabled her to move back to Lagos and start anew. She decided to let go of the hurt and pain, concentrating on building a better future for herself and her children.

Reflecting on her journey, she shared, “I have come to accept the situation and have chosen to focus on the positive aspects of my life. I am confident that with hard work and determination, we will overcome this difficult situation and come out stronger.”
