Dear Thelma: We have a baby, but hubby is planning his ‘escape’


She has married a man who doesn’t respect her, who cheats on her and who appears to be planning to dump her in a few years’ time. And now there’s a baby in the mix.

I have been married for seven months now and have a baby. Before we got married, he was my boyfriend for seven long years. He is six years older than me, and a Japanese. I met him when I was a university student.

After I graduated, he was very excited about choosing which path I should go. I was a bit annoyed because I couldn’t do whatever I wanted to do with my life. It ended up with me becoming too dependent on his decision and not knowing what I wanted to do with my life since he was deciding everything.
