“We have been living together for 12 years now. I have two children for him. He doesn’t pay their school fees and doesn’t take care of me and the kids.
“He usually borrowed money from me and I do oblige him, but whenever I don’t, it becomes a problem. I do give him before, but I discovered he is a womaniser.
