THE LETTER Guest 

Dear Mapaseka

I am 41 years old, I have a depressing situation, ten years back i once dated a woman, it didn't last long because we were too different, yes we did sleep together, and I did not use protection because she said she was on prevention, we broke up, later that year I discovered that she was dating my brother afterwards.

I then confronted my brother and informed him about the situation, his response was that he is in love with her , so I did not have a problem with him dating her but I was glad that I told him so that we be clear of the whole situation.

Along the way my brother realised that she was not only dating him there was some other guy my brother knew about but he did not leave her because he said he loved her and he confronted her to stop seeing the guy.

The same year the woman fell pregnant and she said it was my brother’s child and he also agreed that it was his and our families met and agreed on damages. The following year the baby boy was born. My parents were excited and welcomed the baby; when the baby was 1 year 6 months , my brother called me and asked how the experience of my first child was for me and the connection. I explained to him how excited I was and I was
even impatient to knock off at work to just go home and hold my child in my hands.

He told me that he does not feel the connection and that the girlfriend told him about the pregnancy when she was three months into it. My brother said he agreed to the pregnancy because he didn't want to embarrass her because everyone knew that they were dating.
