I have been married for three years, and for those three years, I have been imprisoned by my conscience.
Before I met my husband, I was seeing my senior brother’s friend. He was very good to me so I did not hesitate to accept his proposal when he asked me out.

I loved him so much and for fear of losing him, I decided to trap him with pregnancy so he marries me.
The first time we had sex, it was good. I decided to use that moment to trap him.
In the following month, I told him I was pregnant and that I was not going to abort it.
I told him to go and see my parents so he marries me but no! He wasn’t ready. I tried so hard but he wouldn’t listen.

He wanted me to abort the pregnancy no matter the amount involved. I demanded for 5,000 cedis but he said he had only 3,000 cedis to give me.
I took the money and left. After the supposed abortion, I went back to him but he said he didn’t want me again anymore.
I lost a good relationship because of a lie I decided to tell and my quest for money.
I don’t know what led me into doing that but till today, I still live with that guilt and it hurts very badly.
