It’s throwback Thursday abi? Sometimes I don’t know what day of the week it is because nobody tells me anything these days.
But during the week, I heard a radio programme in which a man confessed he has neither spoken nor ‘touched’ his wife in seventeen (17) years. He did not tell us the origin of the quarrel except that his wife is pig headed. The man claimed two reasons for not opting for divorce
- They have children together the eldest of which just graduated
- He is a church worker
Guess what, the presenter advised the man to move on and divorce the lady. He blames the lady for whatever it was – yes!
This morning, I heard another one on TikTok – a lady confessed that her friend just divorced a polygamous man because in the six years of their marriage, she only shared a bed with the man four (4) times.
I was the kind of man who would give my lovely wife the cold shoulder, but the Osun girl knows how to make her husband return from his pigheadedness. I doubt if I could last more than a week with a cold shoulder. Now, I don’t even have a shoulder any more.
But peeps, what’s going on in homes? And why are we taking domestic issues to social and mainstream media. I listened to a husband and ex-wife discussing some of their most intimate issues before a panel of judges this morning too on TikTok. Nothing was left out.
Have I been here too long that I am now arcane?! In 38 years of my relationship with my wife, I recall only three incidents in which outsiders needed to counsel us. Mark you, I am not the sweetest husband or boyfriend on earth, but wifey handles her troubles with tact and wisdom. Ki lo n sele?
