I Married My Wife Out Of Pity – Joseph Benjamin by Nobody: 5:29pm On Nov 25, 2012
Nigerian actor Joseph Benjamin who on Tuesday opens up on his marriage crisis in this recent interview with Adeola Adeyemi revealed how he married his wife out of pity because she got pregnant while they were dating. Joseph Benjamin who is formally separated from his wife of 8 years said he married her when he discovered she got pregnant because he doesn’t want to father children out of wedlock.

From the interview, the actor apparently didn’t love his wife. He allegedly married her out of pity. Interview excerpt below.

What Really Happened in his Marriage?: “I was married for 8 years. It was a rather odd situation at that time. She got pregnant and I didn’t want to have a child out of wedlock and so I married her so we could build a home together for the unborn child. Things weren’t rosy then, but I believed it was the right thing to do for the sake of the child. I overlooked my own personal desires, I just wanted to do right. Our second child came and I stood by my family like I always have; but no one is perfect, we had our issues – the crisis persisted but we stayed because of the kids. But you never make that kind of decision because if the parents are not happy together then the children suffer.”

Is Your Wife Older Than You?: ''She is not older than me, and she wasn’t taking care of my financial needs as people have insinuated. We were both starting off in life on the same grounds – no one was exploited.” “I’ve been separated for a year now but we still keep a good relationship, and our separation was a mutual agreement. She is a good woman but I could not go on with the union anymore seeing the foundation it was built on was untrue. I have two wonderful children – a ten year old daughter and a seven year old son. They are an integral part of my life; their mum and I have a very good arrangement on how to balance their lives and make sure that psychologically they are stable and unaffected by our separation.”

Imagine.. How can you marry a woman out of pity?

Even if he married her out of pity, he had to announce it to the public? Whatever reason that made him to marry her in the first place, is nobody's business. He's should stop sounding like an ingrate.

Hmmmm, out of pity and you had a second child and for eight years. I think there is more to this story, the first thing I said when I heard he has separated was that he has found another girl presumably more sexy and beautiful and he wants the wife out. Sefini

Maybe he should have been more truthful by saying:

"I married her then because she was what I could afford at that time. But now, levels don change and I now have to satisfy my real desires"

I thought the guy was reasonable. How can you marry out of sympathy. In fact most of these celebrities are sick animals.

How dare this person trash a woman he married and had children with in this manner
Married her out of pity
Pity for what
Did she threaten to kill herself because she was pregnant and somehow she got pregnant again and your bowel of pity heightened and lasted 10 years
Nonsense!
What a total jerk
Looks like he is a short engine,maybe those words make him feel better about his vertically challenged self

So you married her whn you were poor and now divorce her after you have bcom rich. That's so wicked of you, a woman that gave birth to 2 kids (a boy nd a girl) for you, whatelse were you expecting 4rm her, it could have been better if you have told us that you had serious quarrels with her that led to your divorce, than to say you married her out of pity, that is a shameless altitude and u even have d mind to say it out. How old were you when you married her am sure you were not even a kid whn both of you got married.

That movie made my TOP 10 BEST movies I've ever seen in the history of Nollywood.

Damn, is that the guy? Talk about washing you dirty linens in public? Marrying her for 8years (untrue union) and publicly showcasing your dirty laundry, which is more "PITIFUL"? I will expect these from women but def not from a man... Anyway, if he acts good movie, I'll still watch it, nothing spoil. Carry on with your life brother.

Another immature, egocentric man...... Why come out and say this?

Some things in life should forever remain private, and out of public domain... She is still the mother of your kid, so her integrity has to be protected.


Going out to say you married a woman out of pity is wrong and stupid. Move on and talk about some productive you doing for your community. Be a role model, and stop washing your linen in public.
