A Nigerian lady has taken to the microblogging platform X to share why she is not interested in marriage.
Using her workspace as an example, she shared that seventy percent of the married women she works with have changed.
According to her, marriage changes newly married people for the worse the moment they commit to it.
She went on to say that some women at her place of work who used to do well for themselves, barely take care of themselves now that they are married.
Her tweet read;
“I worked at the bank for five years & saw that a lot of women looked amazing before they got married—nice hair, stylish heels, glowing skin, doing well for themselves. But once they got married, they changed. They’d keep braids for two months, looked tired, dull demeanor; becoming a shadow of who they used to be. “What are you spending your salaries on?” “Household bills.” “Why do you look so tired?” “Traffic was terrible. I got home very late, had to cook” At least 70% of them changed for the worse. The whole marriage thing became so unappealing to me; I can’t survive suffering.”
The majority of those who came across her post agreed with her, and they shared their individual opinions in her comment section.
Below are some of the comments,
@BishopKay360: Marriage is a whole lot to deal with, family support cannot be overemphasized.
@Oguntoyinbodams: You think marriage was the problem and not their choice of partner? Marriage is not easy, but there are people who changed for the better
@okoliprecious13: Relationship alone tears me apart, I end up looking like a sick vulture.
