STORY OF MY LOVE LIFE:
My Life was so Complicated that I never knew I can marry
such a Man after all the misfortune that love brought to me.
I share this story to inspire other ladies out there who feels that all hope is lost in her life.
If God
can turn my situation around, then your own testimony is at hand.
I initially never had the courage to share my
story here because I felt like I was the most unluckiest person in the world.
But as I read testimonies of other ladies posted here in “Single To Married” FB page, it motivated me to share this summary of my life/love story that turned out to place me in a status I never had imagined in my life.
My name is Dumebi, I was born and brought up
in Asaba, Delta State to a family of eleven that lives together under the same
roof, which to me was fun when growing up, every day feels like a party. My mom
is a primary school teacher and my dad is an automotive mechanics. I have 8 siblings.
I'm the fifth child.
When I was in primary school every weekend
we're always out working on the family farm and some other times we’re out
hawking in the street to complement the efforts of our parents, no one is exempted.
Years go by, my elder siblings were not able to
further their education beyond secondary school due to lack of fund. Some took up jobs/vocations in different areas
while my elder sister married early at the age of 18.
With resilience and persistence, I was able to
get admission at the Polytechnic and I came out with Upper Credit in Mass Communication in 2006 and
got my first paid job as a private school teacher in Asaba.
My growing up was laced with sad tales of misfortunes
from the streets.
I was 17 years old when I first dated and the
man was 24 years old. He's a sweet, kind, loveable, caring, understanding and
respectful guy. He loved me more than
anything. But sad to say our relationship only lasted for 9 months because he
had a fatal accident that caused his death in 2001 before I entered the
Polytechnic.
I received a call from his friend in one cold day in November, 2001 that Chike was involved in a serious car crash and had being rushed to the hospital. I lived an hour away from them but, I made it to the hospital in minutes to find my best friend and love writhing in pains. He suffered brain fracture, broken collar bone, 3 ribs, entire right arm, wrist, hand, shoulder, and a punctured lung.
Though he managed to smile when I came in, but
he suffered memory loss and was not able to fully recognize me. He later died
after 1 month in the hospital and that to me was a big heartbreak in my life.
His
death turned my world into total darkness and takes me longer to get over it.
Then 3 years after, I give myself a second
chance at relationship, that was in the year 2004 when I was done with my ND. I
met Henry where I went to do Industrial Training (IT) in Lagos and fell in love
again. our relationship grew
stronger by the day. I am a bit conservative but he’s ready to tolerate my
shortcomings.
We went through a lot of ups and downs but we
managed to get through all of it. After 4 years of relationship with him, he
proposed for marriage during my 24th birthday in 2008 and of course, I said
YES.
Well, we started to get busy with preparing for the wedding and we both
agree that we're going to get married during my 25th birthday. It was wonderful
to hear that I'm going say "I DO” on my birthday.
Henry studied Marine
Engineering in school and lives in Lagos where he works as a Seaman to a
shipping company.
As our wedding date was approaching, Henry
came back home to complete some of the traditional marriage rites, he told me that he needed to get back to work then he
will be home one month before the wedding day. His family and my family were
busy with the preparations.
I had already booked my wedding gown, all the
invitations are printed we just need to send them out, the reception venue had
been paid for and the wedding giveaways was half-way done.
Then came last week of May, 2009 the cargo
ship that my fiancee was working with is going to dock in Tincan Island, Lagos
for maintenance. We decided to meet within that period, the original plan was
that I would be there for the entire week which is fine with me. Even though we
are engaged we still respect each others' privacy.
Earlier in our relationship, Henry helped me
to create my Faceb00k account because I
didn’t have one when I met him and he also did the same for himself. We created
our FB account together. I know his password and he knew my password as well. I
know that he's been checking my FB account once in a while which is fine with
me and I never opened his FB all these years.
One day, I felt some
impulse and so I decided to login into his FB account a week before I'm going
to travel to Lagos to meet him and he didn't change his password so I managed
to login.
Yes, I read all the conversations with the people he chatted with on
FB, including Fumnanya (a lady that I so-called my best friend) and their
conversations made me angry because I found out that they’re having some bonds behind
my back.
So, I
told Henry that I couldn't make it to Lagos that week because of my work though
it was because of my anger. And it surprised me that he didn’t bother to ask me
the kind of work-related issues that caused my one week delay of coming to
Lagos to meet him.
I have to take permission from work that same
week and decided to surprise my fiancé by showing up earlier than expected but
that turned out to be one of the darkest moment of my life.
After 2 days, I left Asaba to Lagos unannounced and on reaching Henry’s apartment, I caught my fiancee and my so-called best friend Fumnanya on the act cheating on me.
I was so mad and it made me feel terrible. From there, I travelled back home sobbing and felt sorry for myself. He even called me to ask me for a favor not to tell his family about what was happened and I granted his request.
The sad news was my
so-called best friend a month after those incidents claimed that she was
pregnant and Henry is the father. So, I have to make a decision for the sake of
the innocent child and I also thought that there is a big possibility that he's
going to cheat on me over and over again.
Then come July 2009, my fiancee was home and
we had a family dinner with his family and my family. On that day, I decided to
take the courage to speak out and back off the wedding 7 weeks before the day
that I supposed to "GET MARRIED TO MY FIANCEE". It's not easy for me
to make those decisions but I believe I did the right thing. It took me forever
to get over it and the scars would remain forever.
I never dated for a long time after I broke up
with Henry. I went back to school to
further my education and I also got a new job in a Telecom Company. My daily
routine is more like the same, from
school to work and back home.
From 2009 to 2011 I dated 3 different men with
each relationship ending with its sad tales of a devastating heartbreak within
a short-while without any tangible reason for the separation.
……and
to crown it all,
in my last relationship I got pregnant for one of the men who had already come to see my family for introduction but he later abandoned me and denied patency of the pregnancy and in the heat of his denial he travelled outside the country and excommunicated me and there was no means of getting across to him.
I just recently found out that his
ex-girlfriend that he dated while in University here in Nigeria who now lives
and work in England came back and helped
him to process his papers and they secretly did a court marriage before they
travelled back to England together. He had been in touch with her all these
while.
Sadly!!!
I never thought that the man would hurt me so
much after my past experiences. He even unfriend me in Facebook and blocked me
on all social media platforms.
Here is me again sitting in this corner of the
world with tears dealing with a heartache because of my so-called lover. I know
it may sound stupid but the feelings I have for him was real.
The days that followed were some of the worst
in my life, I would wander places alone aimlessly, I lost all meaning to life,
I attempted suicide multiple times (I almost succeeded once), I hated
life.
I went through the hassles of the pregnancy all alone as
I decided that I must give birth to the baby. In the year 2012 at the age of
28yrs I gave birth to a boy and I was doing my best to ensure that I give my
child a good life.
I worked extra hard as a single mother to fend for my kid and decided to concentrate and leave men out of my life
I worked extra hard as a single mother to fend for my kid and decided to concentrate and leave men out of my life
And from that 2012 to 2015, I didn’t go on even one single date with any man, I wasn’t ready to squash my already broken pieces of heart. I didn’t want to spare a thought for men or the search for a partner.
I was so thankful to myself for keeping the child because he became my only source of joy and I was 100% commited to him and my work. I made myself a promise to rather live alone than in an unhappy or messy relationship.
I detested men so much that even if Cupid himself was on his knees right in front of me, I wouldn’t even notice. But later on that year 2015 When my son had attained 3yrs and started school I was having difficulty taking him to and fro school without taking unnecessary excuses at work so I decided to send him to stay with my mum and I do visit them every weekend. This routine continued till my son reached 5years in 2017.
By then I have already
started feeling the urge to get married to a man I can call my own.
In December, 2017 I was
browsing through Facebook when I came across the Single To Married page and the
testimonies of different ladies I read that day concerning their relationships gave me hope but by then, I had grown to
become hard-hearted that I don’t easily believe people.
But I kept coming to the page to read testimonies and stories of other ladies anytime I have the chance and it was there I learnt about the eBook “How To Attract The Perfect Husband”and the “Single To Married Prayer Warfare Program” including the 3rd book that comes together with it as bonus.
After over a month of visiting
the page, I decided to order for the eBooks from the website and read through and that gave me
the opportunity to know the author of the eBooks (Mr. Emeka) who I later learnt
is a Relationship/Marriage Counsellor.
I do call him for counseling
in some occasion. The first time we discussed, I narrated my story to him. And
my major question to him that day was whether it is possible for a single parent
like me to still get married to my ideal partner having had a child at home and
also approaching 34yrs.
And his response totally
gave me a fresh confidence in myself and my quest to settle down.
He told me that it is
100% possible only if my heart is ready to forgive past experiences and open my
heart for a new beginning. And he went further to give me an instance that his
own wife was a single mother before he met her but having heard all the truth
from her when they were dating he made up his mind to marry her and today there
are living happily together with 2 kids.
This became a morale
booster to me.
And I took time to read
the 48 pages of that eBook ensuring that I followed every instruction to the
later and the following week I used it to do the 7Days Single To Married Prayer
with the eBook.
After this I started practicing gratitude. My
whole mindset about men and relationship changed and I started living life
differently, while implementing all I learnt. One month passed and nothing
happened, then came the second month and it seems same but I started getting
approaches from men after over 5yrs of being lonely,
…and I kept practicing all the attraction triggers I learnt.
When I call him (Mr Emeka) he will tell me to
be consistent in doing the things I learnt from the books and never give up.
But
by early April, 2018 which is the 3rd month. I met Stanley a Civil
Engineer working with Setraco who happens to be the Site Manager at one of the
Storm Water Control Projects in Asaba, Delta State. He fits into the picture of
the kind of man my heart earnestly desires.
during
our first date I was pensive as I don’t want to lose him if he finds out I’m a
single mother. But then I remembered that one of the first rule I learnt from
the eBook is to believe in myself and be confident of who I am. Stanley is a very handsome young man and I felt I am not worthy to have
him, but then I had to be confident of myself.
And before then Mr Emeka in one
of his counselling session with me had told me not to tell any potential suitor
that I’m a single mum in our first date. He told me that if I do that there is
a 50% chance that the man will not come back.
He advised that I have to first
let the man understand me and know about all my good sides before I will reveal
that probably in subsequent date when the man already have enough background
information about me so that he can weigh his options. (And I did exactly that)
After
about two weeks of knowing Stanley I had to open up to him in our subsequent
date, after listening to my story I was a bit jittery on what his response will
be but he told me that He already knew some
of the things I said about me, even about my past relationship, but he said
that he don’t care that they’re all in the past now.
He is the type of guy I
always wanted, sincere, loving, caring and very responsible. Within 3 months of
dating him we got engaged with the blessings of both of our families.
I finally got married to him on
4th of August, 2018 at the age of 34. And we had been living happily ever since then,
Infact we are expecting our first baby together as I’m writing this.
Stanley came into my life and helped me to
amend all the broken pieces of my heart. He allows me to be myself, he gives me
emotional support and always keeps me laughing when things get stressed. I've
felt like I've known him forever since the first day of meeting him.
I Bless God for being
faithful to me and also thank Mr. Emeka for all his Counselling, advice and the
eBooks. I strongly recommend that if you’re a lady who wish to have a positive change in your love life, you should
give this eBook (How To Attract The Perfect Husband) a trial. It’s really worth
it. God will surely bless him for his good works.

I am now so happy and
blessed with all the love a lady can wish for in life.
