Actress Christabel Egbenya lectures fellow ladies on how to save their relationship when they are pregnant for another man
Christabel Egbenya, a Nollywood actress, has counseled women to be honest with their boyfriends if they cheat and become pregnant outside from the marital house.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, the married mother of one emphasized that getting a paternity test does not automatically mean one doesn’t trust their partner. She mentioned that a few kids had been switched about in the hospital.
“I don’t see anything wrong with conducting a paternity test. It is not always because the person suspects infidelity. There have been instances where children were changed and given to different parents at the hospital,” she said.
Urging women to always be honest in their relationships, Egbenya said, “If you did something (extramarital affair) outside and got pregnant, and you feel you need to open up to your husband, go ahead and talk to him. There are some men that might be comfortable with such situation, and won’t mind the woman keeping the child. It is wrong to hide such information from one’s partner.
“If the man wants to undertake the raising of the child; that is fine. After all, men go outside their marriages to have kids, and come back to plead with their wives.”
Additionally, the actress advised married men to cut ties with reckless friends who would try to influence them to engage in extramarital affairs. Added she,
You should cut them off. It is marriage we are talking about; not dating.”
