I got my late brother’s wife pregnant after I fell in love with her, I don’t know what to do – Man cries out, seeks advice
A Nigerian man has turned to social media for help after revealing that he has fallen deeply in love with his late brother’s wife, who is now pregnant with his child.
He explained that while his brother was married, he was living in the UK. After his brother passed away, the family gave his wife two options: to remarry or return to her parents’ home.
She chose to stay and mourn her husband. During this time, he regularly visited to check on her and the children, but now he is feeling conflicted, as she is pregnant with his child.
In a anonymous post he wrote: “I am in Love with my late brother’s wife. My brother got married to this beautiful lady in August 2020. They had two kids before he passed on. Throughout their marriage, I was in the UK and only came back last year when I lost my brother. After the burial, my family gave her two choices: since she’s still young, she can decide to go back to her parents and remarry whenever she’s ready.
“Secondly she can still stay in husband’s house and whenever she finds a man she can get married and move on with her life. She’s just 25yrs old. So she chose to stay and mourn her husband. I normally paid her and the kids visits regularly. Just to check on her and the kids, buy them stuff her husband could have bought if he was still alive. I tried to make her happy and not to really feel the gap in her husband’s absence. I won’t lie I was doing all these as a caring brother in-law with no intentions.
“I knew my brother would take care of my kids and wife if I was the one who passed away. It was last weekend I promised to take my late brother’s wife and the kids for an outing. We went out and had fun then I dropped them home upon leaving the daughter who was just a year old started crying for me not to leave. I stayed back and played a bit until she fell asleep.
“As days passed, I realized I’m having feelings for my late brother’s wife. I tried to fight the feelings by not going there often but she will call me whenever the kids ask of me or they want something. Even as I stayed away I couldn’t get her off my head. This was just six months after my brother death. I struggled for two months to kill that feeling but it wasn’t easy.”
