How I Let A Stupid Childish Blood Oath Ruin My Life

True Life Story: How I Let A Stupid Childish Blood Oath Ruin My Life

Dear Lively Stones,

Please hide my identity. I need advise, I made a vow with my ex many years ago. It was actually an innocent blood oath back then in secondary school, in SS3. We vowed not to leave each other for life. And so we dated from SS3 through to Tertiary. I got pregnant in my final year and had a baby boy. My parents were disappointed cos they felt I was wasting my life with this boy who came from a poor background with nothing to offer me.

In truth, my ex, Bayo came from very humble beginnings….from a very large polygamous home that the parents could hardly cater for their children. It was his mom who struggled to make sure Bayo and his siblings went to school. And so, life was very hard for them. Getting pregnant, we both had no job so our parents had to be supporting us but it was not easy at all. The financial stress was getting too much.

Bayo studied engineering but he could not get a job so he decided to start his own auto shop. The shop was doing fairly well but the boys working with him were fraudulent, took his clients away from him…he was not making much. I was also unable to get a job so I took to buying and selling. After almost 3 years after we both left school, we were still struggling to make ends meet.

Then the pressure began to get to Bayo, he was told that he made a mistake by making a blood oath with him. That I am not his wife, that is why he is struggling to make ends meet. His mother pressured him to send me away. Eventually, our quarrels got so bad that Bayo said it in my face several times, that I am the cause of his misfortune. This triggered me so much that I decided to leave him for good.

I left my son with my mom and went to Lagos, to go live with my Auntie. I learnt hair business from my Aunt and under one year, I opened my own shop where I was doing well. That was where I met Anthony, my husband. Anthony is wealthy…he used to bring his girlfriend to buy hair from me but the girl later duped him…we got dating and got married the next year. By the grace of God, I have been married for almost 3 years now. And since I got married, I have been having miscarriages here and there.

This situation has got me questioning what is happening. Married but no children. Then I had a dream where I saw myself many years ago, when I was taking blood oath with my ex. This made me seek spiritual interpretation and it was confirmed that I swore in my oath, not to bear any man’s children except my ex. The oath, I was told cannot be broken except my ex dies. Now, I am confused and frustrated on what to do. I went to my ex and baby daddy to speak to him on how we can find a solution to this.

My ex was also very sad cos he said he has been told that he cannot find love in any other woman except me. Yet, a prophecy also stated that I am not his real wife, that I going to be the cause of his downfall. That day, we both cried at how our ignorance has affected our future now. We both started feeling each other and ended up having s3x. Exactly two months later, I got pregnant. I knew it was for Bayo. That was when it dawned on me, that if I cannot have a child unless Bayo dies, I might as well have Bayo’s children…but its not for my husband….

My husband was elated when he saw I was pregnant….he did not let me do anything during the pregnancy. I did not tell Bayo or him who is the father of the baby. Eventually, I have birth to a girl who reminds me of Bayo everyday…she looks so much like him. The guilt has been consuming me like mad. I know I cannot confess to my husband…he would probably send me packing. Should I just leave the marriage by myself?

I don’t understand why life is showing me shege…Bayo and I have released each other from that oath yet it seems we are still stuck together….we probably still love each other but we are not good for each other. So are both to remain unmarried now for the rest of our lives? Has anyone been in a similar situation like this before? What do you advise that I do about it? I mean, its proof I may not be able to have children for any man except Bayo.

I need your help and advise please.
