A Nigerian doctor, identified as Stan, has shared a deeply emotional story about his friend who made the shocking decision to forgive his wife after discovering her in an intimate encounter with their pastor right on their matrimonial bed.
Gists9ja reports that taking to Twitter, Stan recounted how his friend was heartbroken by the betrayal but ultimately chose forgiveness over separation. According to the doctor, the man claimed his wife was not in her right mind during the act, suggesting that she may have been under some form of spiritual influence.
In a post that has since gone viral, Stan shared the words of his friend:
“Finally, I woke up to a call today: ‘Hey man, all is good. The family got involved, and they’re still at my house. As much as it hurts, I have to forgive. My wife didn’t know what came over her. Knowing who she is, I think something possessed her.’”
The man’s wife, overwhelmed by guilt and shame, reportedly attempted to take her own life after being caught. Her near-tragic response, combined with the pleas from both her family and his, led the man to reconsider walking away.
Stan continued:
“I was on the other end, asking, ‘Who made you stay?’ He replied, ‘My wife almost killed herself. I don’t want her blood on my hands. Her family and mine begged me for hours into the early morning. If God can forgive, who am I to hold a grudge?’”
The doctor reflected on the conversation, mentioning how it reminded him of another friend, Alozie, who went through a similar experience and was supported by mutual acquaintances. Stan concluded with a powerful thought:
“He’s made his choice, and he’s not angry with me for questioning it. I’ll just have to keep praying for him. ‘He who chooses his wife chooses his destiny.’”
Public Reactions
The story has sparked debate on social media, with many praising the man’s capacity for forgiveness, while others questioned whether such betrayal should be tolerated under any circumstances.
