How do I get out of this mess?

By Agatha

Dear Agatha,

I am in a very big trouble; one I am not sure how I and my two sons will ever get out from. Five years ago, out of desperation and greed I married a man my father disliked and described as a man of unquestionable character. I ignored my parents and proceeded to get pregnant for him. He was swimming in money so I really didn't need care about what my father in particular said.

Even when I announced my pregnancy to my father as reasons for him to allow me be, he insisted I should not marry him. He told me he would allow me put to bed in his house; that it was a minor sacrifice to pay than me marrying this man.

I ignored my father and went ahead to get married to him legally at the registry. I got someone to represent my parents. At 35, I didn't really need their consent to marry.

Immediately after the marriage ceremony, I noticed some strange things about him. He didn't approve of sharing the same room. He insisted on me keeping my room; his excuse, I would cramp his style.

Another thing is the frequency he goes out at night for one business appointment or the other. And when he has to go for these kinds of assignments, he stays completely away from me; wouldn't even allow me cook his food let alone touch him.

I was curious but something about his attitude and behavior made me to soft pedal. However, he recently took ill, as a matter of fact he collapse and I had to rush him to the hospital. Since he was unconscious, and the doctor needed money, I took the key to his room to find out if he had money.

What I saw was beyond me. Right inside his wardrobe, I saw a calabash with fetish ornaments and a padlock inside it. Further search revealed different kinds of guns with red cloths and cowries tied to them. Also in his room, I found a bag containing a lot of money.

I didn't bother to take the money or anything from the room. I immediately left the room, took the key back to the hospital. I had to look for money elsewhere. Fortunately, he woke up shortly after I got to the hospital and demanded that he should be taken away from the hospital. He called two of his closest, who according to him would take him to their church for prayers. As always, he told me not to bother; that I should stay behind to look after our twin sons.

He is better now. But I am now very scared of him. There is no doubt that my husband is an armed robber. But who do I tell? What can I do? Can I divorce him? I cannot go to the Police because I happen to know he is highly connected in the Police force. I am so confused. He is beginning to question me about my behavior as I seldom allow him come near me and the children. Twice he has asked me if I entered his room while he was unconscious, I lied about not having the key to his room, hence the question of me entering the room doesn't even arise.

Please, Agatha, I respect you so much. What can I do without incurring his wrath and putting the lives of my entire family members at risk? This guy is mean and capable of hurting me and my family members.

Worried Wife.
