From my inbox

Hi Tosin, 

In January, Oga travelled for two weeks after arrival we made love together, some days after I noticed some discharges from my private, I went to a pharmacy, I was prescribed a drug to use, which cleared it.

 Do I confront him or not?

 Please advise me.

From my inbox

Hello Tosin,

I wish to be referred to as anonymous.
My salary is about 400% above my husband’s salary, ever since we got married, once I get my salary, I will forward everything into his account so he won’t feel inferior and asks him per time whenever I need to spend. For some months now, he has been saying I spend lavishly and he insults me on just trivia issues, I have reported him to some people who have called us both to settle these matters, nothing has changed, last week he slapped me during our argument and almost wound me with our baby.

What can I do?

Please help me
