Dear My Friendly Advice,

My name is Nenage. I am a 33 year old divorcee. I used to live in Mississippi, I was very happy there and had a good job. I was also very faithful and committed to my Church and God

I met this man who lived In Georgia, and it was love at first sight. He swept me off my fee. In a matter of months, we got married. I moved to Georgia to be with my new husband, and things were great. Two months into the marriage, things started to go downhill and I began to see a different side of him. I was shocked to find out he had been married before. Also, he failed to mention that he was in a couple of relationships with other woman in Georgia when we had met. He had females calling him and even visiting our apartment in my absence.

This day his sister came by to visit us and I told her what was happening. She told me that he is a man and I’ll have to accept it if I wanted to keep the marriage. I became furious and asked her to leave. She refused to leave saying that it was her brothers apartment and that I had no right to ask her to leave. She called other family members within minutes the apartment was a war zone. We got into a heated altercation, shouting at each other. Before I knew it, I was slapped in the face by his sister. I immediately grabbed my cellphone and called the police.

When the police came, my husband sided with her family and decided that he would leave. He said he was leaving the marriage. During this time, I was unemployed and was looking for work. That night I got on my knees and prayed to God. I said “Dear lord, please I don’t want to go back to Mississippi. You are my provider and my help comes from you” I recently filled out some job applications, and the next day I received a call from one of the places where I had applied. I was called to come in for an interview. I did and was hired that very day.

It has been a year and I still live in Georgia. I am happier today than ever. I am also currently engaged to a wonderful man of God. My reason for writing to My Friendly Advice was to share my story. I also want to encourage others who may be experiencing similar situation to never to give up on life or love. Always know that Gods love endures and his faithfulness comes forever

Be blessed,

Nenage
