I am a Kenyan currently living and working in Ghana. I love reading your stories, it is interesting what goes on in people’s lives. I guess it’s my turn to have an interesting story for your audience today. My girlfriend is pregnant for me, but I have had a vasectomy for years.
I am Kenyan, divorced father of three, and an Enterprise Architect. My parent company posted me to Ghana to head a project which has been ongoing for two and half years now. I was fresh off my divorce when I was assigned to this job, and so it was, and has been a pleasant distraction for me.
I am fifty three years old, my youngest child is thirteen and my oldest is twenty-five. That youngest kid was unplanned and unexpected, and so after her conception, I opted for a vasectomy. And then life happened, and my ex wife and I divorced four years ago. After that divorce, I was convinced I would never marry nor fall in love again, I was just content sowing my wild oats and living my life, and loving my children. That was until I met Shika.
Ghanaian girl. Black beauty. Epitome of grace and decorum. Shika is beautiful as she is graceful. She is the account manager for my employer’s broadband needs, both for our offices spaces and residential spaces. When I first moved into my home, internet access was erratic as was the customer service I received to fix it. So I threw a fit and threatened to end our contract with the service provider. That is when Shika took it upon herself to bring technicians to my home and have the issue fixed.
That day, when Shika walked into my home in Trasacco Valley, my head began to spin and I prayed to God in heaven that she was single. She apologized for the inconvenience and put her technicians to work.
While her techs worked, I engaged her in conversation and learned she was not married. So I said I’d forgive the inconvenience if she let me take her to dinner. The dinner was fun. We clicked. And we had another and another. I wooed her. And I pursued her with such intention that she finally gave in and became my girlfriend.
Shika is thirty seven, which makes me sixteen years her senior. But the age gap has meant nothing. I learned my lessons with the failure of my marriage, and I was determined to be my best with my Shika. She has an eight year old son from a previous relationship, her ex isn’t very involved in her son’s life so I have filled the gap since I stepped into Shika’s life.
The relationship has been great and I have been happy with Shika, more than happy. She is my kind of woman, strong without being overbearing. Assertive and wise. Super intelligent and opinionated. Before she agreed to be my girl she insisted we get tested for HIV and everything else I could give her, her words not mine. So I obeyed. Our relationship has been awesome. I find myself in love again. And I was planning to propose this December, which would be our second anniversary.
My plan was to undo my vasectomy, propose, marry her and hopefully have one more child with her. That way, she gets two children of her own and I get five, I was looking forward to raising a family with Shika.
But something interesting just cropped up. She told me a month ago that she is pregnant. Shika doesn’t know about my vasectomy, I didn’t tell her because I did not want to make it an issue in our relationship. This woman has shown me such integrity and high moral standards that I am flabbergasted! Is Shika cheating? Trying to trap me after all the love we’ve shared? What is her end game? To give me another man’s child because she wants marriage? I am hurt and confused. I feel like such a fool for not sticking to my resolve to never fall in love again.
I take my urologist check ups seriously, so I know my vasectomy is intact. I keep watching this woman in shock. I am dazed. Do I confess my vasectomy and confront her now or should I wait for her to give birth?
This life!
MissKorang Says:
I would tread carefully with this one if I were you. She may not be lying. With all her integrity that you speak of, I would suggest you be circumspect about how you go about confronting this. I say that because your vasectomy may really have failed. What you do not want to do is fracture your beautiful relationship by jumping to serious, hasty conclusions.
On the other hand, she may be trying to foist this child on you to secure the ring. But Ghanaian girls don’t behave like that, or am I drunk? Sir, for this one, you are on your own o. Let’s take it to the elders on facebook for help. I don’t even know what to say, except Ghanaian girls don’t cheat. I said what I said.
