I feel bad this boy has to pay for the sins of my lover

Photo: Courtesy

I am 31, based in Nairobi and I work as a kindergarten teacher. For about two years, I have been in love with a man whose son is in my class. Initially, he made it clear that even though he loved me, he would never leave his wife for me, which was acceptable. Somewhere along the way, he convinced me that he wanted to marry me as a second wife but only after his child left my school. I am five months pregnant and I only told him last month since I thought he would ask me to terminate it if I told him earlier. Now he wants nothing to do with me. He does not pick nor return my calls and this is making me feel so bad. Sometimes I can’t help but take these feelings out on his son in class and I feel very bad about this. What can I do in this situation? He said he loved me and wanted to marry me but this is not what his actions are saying. I am confused and need advice urgently. {Joyce}
