I got involved with a married man years ago, and he took care of me in ways that I couldn’t take care of myself. He freely acknowledged his affection for his wife and said that I had a special place in his life. I relied on his financial assistance as a young lady attempting to make her way in the world for things like housing, education, and even personal expenses.

But something unexpected revealed the weakness in our arrangement, and that was a turning point.

He was on a trip when he inadvertently interrupted his wife’s phone call, which led to a lot of problems. Their relationship was strained by his wife’s suspicions, which were stoked by the seemingly harmless sneeze.

He didn’t answer my calls for a week, so I was left to think about life without him.

When he did reach out, it was to patch up the rift our involvement had created in his marriage. He acknowledged that it was difficult for him to keep up both relationships and asked for my help to keep his house intact.

A sermon on a bus trip encouraged me to consider my decisions, which deepened my contemplation. The preacher’s advice to rely on God’s supply rather than relationships that violate my beliefs struck a deep chord with me.

Despite the financial security the affair provided, I made the decision to terminate it out of guilt. Breaking free wasn’t an easy procedure.

I started crying as I faced the preacher’s words, which were still ringing in my head. Nevertheless, I sent a message announcing my intention to quit, resolved to follow my newly discovered conviction.

He resisted at first, but I persisted because I was determined to break free from the cycle of shame and guilt.

Financial gifts were part of his desperate attempts to win me back, but I refused to back down, knowing that breaking relationships was essential to my well-being. Even though he continued to be constant in my life—attending both my graduation and my national service—I resisted the temptation to go back to that harmful way of living.

There have been difficulties along the way, but my will to defeat this specific demon has given me a sense of redemption. Setting morals above fleeting conveniences has given me strength as I navigate life after being a side chick.
