Yesterday, I struggled to hold back tears as my neighbor told me the heart wrenching story of her friend.
Her friend was 7 months pregnant. She was expecting her second child. The first one is 4 years old and their previous attempt to have a second, have ended in 3 miscarriages.
Sadly, just when they thought this pregnancy would be different, she also lost the baby. No, the baby was murdered. She delivered a stillborn.
My neighbor who spent three days with her in the hospital was fuming with anger as she narrated her friend's ordeal. The night before she had the miscarriage, her husband had come back drunk as other nights.
He forced the wife to have sex with him. The woman pleaded with him that she was in no mood for sex, more so with the pains she was enduring due to the pregnancy. The drunk husband would have none of it.
He forced his wife, and had rough sex with her after giving her a thorough beating. The next morning, she started bleeding and was rushed to the hospital.
As the devil may have it, the doctor was not on call and the nurses and student doctor were the ones that attended to her. They gave injection to stop the bleeding, the bleeding continued. They gave another injection.
Then she started feeling unbearable pain, labor followed and she spent agonizing hours pushing out the baby.
The baby came out lifeless. 7 months of pain and discomfort without a bundle of joy. Who knows if the previous miscarriages were not a result of the husband's Ill treatments.
Men, your wife is not an object of pleasure. She doesn't exist only to satisfy your sexual cravings. It's her body, when she's tired and in no mood for ex, she has a right to tell you so and please respect it.
As for the woman in question, she says she loves her husband and doesn't want anybody confronting him on her behalf. I've since dried my eyes and gone on with my business.
