AFTER FOUR ABORTIONS, HE WANTS TO DUMP HER By Timothy Motivator

A man that is my Facebook friend wants us to advice him. He promised to read all your comments before deciding on what to do. He called me on phone to narrate his present predicament . He is the only son of his mother and his father has died. He met a lady at NYSC camp in 2012 and they fell in love. He proposed to her a year after because she displayed an amazing wife potentials. Because he was not financial stable, the courtship dragged till last year. He said the lady had four abortions for him and the last one nearly cost her life because the D & C was not done very well. Her life was saved but not her womb. The doctor told them that it will be impossible for her to be pregnant again. He has politely told her that they will not marry since his mother will die if she realized he cannot bear a child from his wife. She insisted they must marry. She even threatened to kill him, any new wife and herself. Though I have given him my own advice, he still need more. Don't judge him or her, just advice him on the way foward. Thank you
