Hi RTers, my name is George, I'm 42 years old and live in Lagos. I am
sharing this story so that people can learn from my mistakes. Up till now I
still can't believe how one stupid act from me ruined my life and that of my
family. I am the kind of outgoing type, I love clubs and social events. My wife
is more of the reserved type and prefers to have fun at home, but knowing the
kind of man she married, she doesn't complain much when I go out and come in late.
We dated for 5 years before we married and she kinda developed a huge trust for
me, as I do for her. Never once had I cheated on my wife in our 12 years of marriage,
but of this fateful day I did the unthinkable. I never planned for it to
happen, I had left the club early that day (about 10:30pm) I wanted to get home
early because I had promised to drive my wife to an early market the next day.
On my way home, I was flagged down by a lady. I never stop for strangers as a
personal rule, but on this fateful day I made a regrettable exception. I
stopped and she begged me to give her a lift, it wasn't a big deal because we
were heading in the same direction. The moment she entered my car, the
atmosphere changed suddenly, I don't want to make an excuse but I really felt
somewhat hypnotised. She was astonishing beautiful than I even realised before
I picked her up, She flirted with me and talked naughty, while I laughed
foolishly. We got to her Estate before mine and she pleaded with me to drop her
at her place, as it wasn't far inside. I knew this was foolish but somehow, I
wasn't with my senses any longer. She invited me inside when we got there and I
knew what the invitation meant but couldn't stop myself. We had s3x, and
without a condom! That was so much unlike me, considering I always advised my
friends who had numerous girlfriends to never fail to use it, that very moment,
I had no damn control. After the act, I picked up my clothes and left without
saying a word, she said nothing either. I knew I had messed up but I told
myself it was a onetime thing and I'd never try it again. I ended up getting
home few minutes past midnight that day. That happened 7 months ago, I had just
begin to get on with my life after much guilt has dealt with me, when I came
back home 3 weeks ago to meet my wife sobbing intensely. I reached out to her
to ask her what the problem was and she handed me a paper, it was their yearly
medical examination result that showed she was HIV positive. She swore she had
never been with another man and asked me if I had been unfaithful. My mind flew
back to that one forgotten incident, and I collapsed on the floor. I had not
only been careless with my life but also with that of my beloved wife. I have
betrayed the trust of the woman I love so much and placed her life in Danger. I
have failed my 2 kids who see me as their Hero all for nothing. Even if my wife
eventually forgives me, I know I will never forgive myself.
Dear RTers, Please learn from my mistakes, you'd think it can't happen
to you just like I did, but it can.
