I Sold My Car to Pay My Husband’s Debt — He Left Me for Another Woman After the Loan Cleared

I was that wife who believed marriage meant sacrifice — until my own sacrifice destroyed me.

My husband had taken a large business loan that went bad. His creditors were on his neck, threatening to disgrace him publicly. Out of love and loyalty, I sold my Toyota Corolla — the car I had bought after years of saving from my teaching job.

I gave him the entire ₦3.2 million, thinking I was helping us rebuild.

He cried, hugged me, and said I had “proven to be a real wife.” I felt proud… until things changed.

Once the debt was cleared and he found his footing again, everything about him shifted. No more affection. No more communication. Suddenly, he became “too busy.”

Then the truth dropped: he had moved into an apartment on the Island — with another woman. Someone younger. Someone flashier. A girl he called “his peace.”

When I confronted him, he said:
“You’ve done your part. Let me live my life now.”

I nearly collapsed.

I’m back to trekking, taking keke to work, and struggling to hold myself together — while the man I saved is living large with someone else.

Please, if you’re a woman reading this: don’t destroy yourself for a man who will never choose you in the end.
