Hi, whoever is reading,
Most people would advise me to remain anonymous, but in my situation, I prefer to have my name mentioned. I am in a desperate situation, and having someone understand my struggles is the least of my worries. So yeah, don’t.
My name is Amanda, but my friends call me Mandy. I am 25 years old, recently graduated from the University of Ghana, and have started my national service. After finishing school, I went out with the girls to one of the famous restaurants in East Legon. There, I encountered a tall, attractive boy. We immediately hit it off; we were on our third date before I knew it. I had a boyfriend before we met, but I kept it a secret from him. That boyfriend wasn’t serious, so I jumped at the chance when this new guy showed seriousness and assumed some responsibilities in my life. Long and short of it, we had s3x on our third date.
Four months into the relationship, I went over to his place one weekend, and as I have always done, I went straight into his room and joined him in bed. We began indulging in intimate moments; he was caressing all the appropriate spots, and I relished every second. However, abruptly, someone who bore a striking resemblance to the man I was in bed with interrupted us. I was shocked to the marrow. For once, I thought I was seeing things that weren’t real. However, reality set in, and to my utter disbelief, my boyfriend Jay was furious, spewing gibberish and asking me why I was in bed with his twin brother. Twin brother? We had been in a relationship for four months, yet this boy didn’t consider it essential to inform me that he was a twin.
We successfully resolved the issue; clearly, it was an innocent mistake on my part. It continues to amaze me how I was able to get this intimate with the wrong twin, and why he also indulged without prompting me remains a mystery.
But that is just by the way. The real issue is this: we have grown increasingly close without Jay’s knowledge since making out with the other twin. I mean, he knows I talk with his twin brother, but he has no idea we streak each other explicit videos and photos daily. He is unaware I have developed an unusual fondness for his twin brother. He has visited my place numerous times and spent countless intimate moments together. He knows I am still with his brother, but he says he also loves me. I have also expressed my love for him, and we have been nurturing this relationship for quite some time now.
A couple of weeks ago, I found out I was pregnant. I informed my boyfriend, Jay, about my pregnancy, and he expressed his desire for us to tie the knot before I began to show symptoms. I’m confident that Jay informed his brother, who then confronted me about it. He says he loves me and would not mind marrying me, adding that the child could be his. I refuted this by informing him that the child is Jay’s, but he responded that he would not mind raising his brother’s child, given they are twins.
My people, I love both men and don’t know who the child is for. I don’t even know if I want to keep the child. Deep down in my heart, I want the child to be for the other twin because I love him. However, Jay is a great guy, and I don’t want to hurt him. I’m figuring out how to handle this situation or what steps to take. I need advice, and please do not insult me. I am in a dilemma, confused, and extremely ashamed of myself.
