Dear GhanaWeb,

I’ve been married for three years. For most of that time, we were financially stable. My husband always insisted I stay home and not work, and I respected that. But things took a turn when he lost his job over what I believe was a silly accusation. Since then, life has been hard for us financially.

Desperate to help, I decided to visit his workplace and speak to his boss directly. I introduced myself to the CEO and begged him to reconsider my husband’s dismissal, explaining how good he is at his job.

That’s when the CEO made me an offer that if I sleep with him, he would rehire my husband. Given how desperate we were, I made the mistake of accepting. We went to a hotel, and it happened. I thought it would be a one-time thing, but it wasn’t. It happened again, and then again.

After the third time, I gathered the strength to end it. I told him it would never happen again, and I meant it. My husband got his job back, and he was so happy. He still has no idea what I did to make that happen, and I couldn’t bring myself to tell him for fear it would destroy our marriage.

The CEO has since been calling, texting, and making advances I keep refusing. Last week, he sent me a video, one he secretly recorded of us together. He’s now using it to blackmail me. He says he’ll delete it only if we sleep together again. He even said he doesn’t mind that I’m now pregnant with my husband’s child.

I’m terrified. I never imagined things would go this far. I feel ashamed, used, and cornered. I love my husband, and I want to protect our marriage and this baby. But I’m scared that this video might get out and ruin everything.

Please, what should I do? I’m desperate for guidance.
