A Canada-based Nigerian lawyer, Tomilola, has spoken about her struggles with infertility and how her husband stood by her.

Tomilola was told by the doctors that she may never bear children and so she told her husband that he could be with someone else.

She later gave birth to a baby girl a few months ago after conceiving through IVF.

In an Instagram post on Thursday, Tomi revealed that she was devastated by the news but was willing to let go of her husband because he has always wanted to be a dad.

However, her husband said he would rather die childless with her than have children with another woman.

“In one of my least graceful moments, I told my husband that he could go find someone else. I told him I wouldn’t be mad if he left me because I knew how much he wanted to be a dad,” she wrote.

“I didn’t want to lose him, but I also didn’t want to hold him back

“He showed me with words and actions, that my infertility was his infertility.”
