Jealousy walked me out of my marriage of 25 years — Married Woman Recounts

Jealousy walked me out of my marriage of 25 years . I am a very charming lady and that makes me proud,and so full of myself. My husband is a good Muslim man, he is so kind handsome and lovely. We got married very young. Our marriage is blessed with five kids two boys and three pretty girls. We live happily and comfortable with my husband until he brought the issues of adding a sister. I was devastated when he brought the issues after 25 years of being together. I couldn’t withstand it especially when he told me she’s very educated both Islamic and wastern education, she’s working well and earning comfortably. I felt cheated because he refused me to proceed my education when I intended to study further.
He begged me to be a house wife, I mean full house wife which I agreed because I love my husband so much and I want to earn jannah through my marriage.

But in the case of adding a wife I felt so uncomfortable and pressure to the extent I begged him to divorce me so that I would get a rest. I could remember he was so sad and pleaded for me not to leave, but my heart was made up already I even threatened to sue him If he refused to divorce me.

My friends all supported me to leave which I foolishly left my matrimonial home of 25 years.

I moved and relocated to another state, settled and started a small scale business just to keep myself busy.

My husband on the other hand settled with his new wife and she became the mother of my children, Fahad is my first born and he’s almost done with his studies in the university, Maryam, my second daughter is in same university with her brother Fahad. The rest are all in secondary school when I left my home.
