RE: SteemitPhilippines Challenge|| " My New Year Goals"
Sayang...the damage has been done, I know it would be arduous to repair considering that he already had a child with another woman. Though its up to you if you still want to reconcile with him considering that you also have a child who needs a father.
It's sad to know that you are not entitled to fight for your right as a wife, I mean you cannot claim that he is yours and vice versa since you are only living together without the benefit of marriage.
However, you have the option to let him pay for what he did to you, those pain, mental or emotional anguish, sleepless nights are examples of psychological violence which is one of the grounds for one to be charged with VAWC. Even unfaithfulness is punishable under this law.
I am not sure if you were also abused physically but if you think you need help you can see someone from the women's desk section of the police station in your place so you can consult your case or situation.
I know you are smart, if you feel that you were abused which caused you pain and that you want him to face the consequences of his actions try reading this law "Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004 ( RA 9262)" this is your legal remedy since you cannot charge him with the crime of concubinage because you are not his legal wife. Since this is a private crime this complaint can only be lodged by the legal wife and no one else.
Anyway this is just an option. You can opt to follow what your mind and heart tells you. Try to consider @sarimanok's advices too! I find them most appropriate.
Lastly, do your best to be able to review and take the board exam again. It's for you, for your family, and for your son.
Take care and please don't ever question God about what you are going through, things happen for a reason, you may not be able to comprehend it this time but soon you will know why He allows these things to happen to you.
Amidst all those pain and probably unanswered questions? Pray to God and continue to pray...
Thank you for your golden advice Sir. That is true, I was emotionally and mentally abused by him but with all due respect to his parents, filing a case against him has never crossed my mind. Instead, I will let him go and let the pain live inside me until it will hurt no more.
Yes sir! I will reconnect with God and was very upset for questioning his will. I know living together without the element of marriage is a sin and maybe God separates our ways to save me from that hell thing. I'm on my way to live my life in God's care.
