I have been married to a woman for two years now. We have five children. We live in our own house. My wife's parents also live in the same town as us. They used to live very far from us and we visit them from time to time. They also replicate that as time goes on.
My wife gave birth about two years ago, so the mother decided to move to our house to help us. She gave birth to twins so we all thought it would be prudent for her to come and stay for a while. Sadly, the father also joined and finally brought in all their belongings, an indication that they are poised to stay permanently.
When they were coming they also brought a young boy who they insisted listed his mother was dead and that it was the mother of my wife who inherited her late mother so they decided to take care of the boy hence the need for them to come along with him.
The mother of my wife and her husband sleeps in one of our single rooms whilst the young boy sleeps with my son in another room.
Sadly, they also enjoy the food I buy for my children. I pay for the power they use.
This drained my pocket and I decided to tell my wife to ask them to go and rent a place but all had fallen on dumb ears. They are both not working. My wife too is not working. I am the only person providing for the needs of the family from my meager salary.
Just recently, it was agreed that the children of my wife's parents are contributing GH 500. 00 each to enable them to rent an apartment for their parents. My wife informed me and I parted with the money on her behalf. When I gave the money to my wife's mother instead of her thanking me she requested compensation for her stewardship of her grandchildren.
My wife's mother is a threat to the survival of our marriage because she introduces my wife to men in a way that looks weird to me.
Before we were about to marry, I caught her red-handed with a man whom her mother had introduced, in a hotel.
Our relationship almost broke up but through apologies from some elderly men, it got on track. All wounds were healed and we got on well.
Recently, anytime I will call from my station where I work, the mother will pick up the phone and tell me that my wife is praying so I should call back later.
On my two weeks' leave, I found in my wife's wardrobe a bottle containing oil and a wooden cross in it with this inscription on it.
''Love Oil / For Attraction; Made in Jerusalem''
I realized that the bottle was a used one from Ghana. I questioned my wife about it and she insisted it was a direction given to her by a so-called prophet. I noticed that with the connivance of the mother something fishy must have gone on during my absence. The prophet could easily capitalize on their ignorance to dupe and have sex with my wife.
Now their stay in my matrimonial home is draining me financially, I can't anymore. I pay heavy school fees for my children.
The worst aspect of the matter is that anytime they get money, the next few days, they will preparation to travel to their home time either for a funeral or for reasons best known to themselves.
My eldest son is 12 years, and the other is 10, 6, and 2 and half years respectively.
I want to call for a divorce but considering the ages of my children, I am in limbo. Besides, my wife as I can see currently has a different bad agenda for the marriage. She's seeing someone else.
Please, I want advice from noble members on what to do. I am prepared to divorce her and give her the house and everything. Thank you. The mother of my wife is 61 and the father is 65
