get out of my head

debrief08: I agree with with her, I don't think she is refering to all married women but those but those who love to harass single women.
There are some married women who are fond of making singles feel bad and specialise in harrasing them to "go and marry". Really happily married folks know that a good marriage is not rushed.
Also she was in my oppinion speaking to the people who will advice you to stay and rot even in unpleasant marriages, who will never be real on what really goes on and always want to show how marriage defines them.
I tell my friends being single is not a crime or disease, don't pretend, don't out of desperation marry and swallow all misery.
Be real, when you face challenges that overwhelm you say so, if not you will die in silence.
So many of them in church wearing asoebi yet covered in bruises.
Why do you think Nairaland has so much traffic? So many people who pretend to their friends and family in real life find solace here.
A bad broken down marriage is not a thing to be ashmaed of, being single or divorced is not a crime, be honest and open and you won't die prematuredly from heart attack, HIV or beatings.

Godmother: Mehn, I hope her husband never gets to see this oh. Would do well. We all have an idea of what marriage in Nigeria is all about, but most women wud never come out boldly like this for fear of d repercussions

Blazinraj01:
He doesn't need to see it because He is LATE.

babestell: You all need to take a chill pill. we know she is not insinuating that all married women who make these statements are lying. But we also know that most of the time people will not tell you the truth about the harsh realities of their individual marriages.

My senior colleagues in the office are always like you young girls should try and settle down, get married and have a family so that you will be happy. But I have caught at least 2 of them complaining to friends about how their husbands treat them. but when i confronted one she denied it and swore hussy was an angel (yet she comes to work with bruises).

Am sure a lot of people are in happy marriages but there are also a lot who are not but are actively denying it just so that they don't stand out in society.

Kechybee: Funke pls get a life and speak for yourself. There are still some faithful and responsible men/husbands out there.

A-ZeD:
This is bullsh*t.
So every woman who says her husband has never hit her is lying?

The author should note that if her marriage did not work out it doesn't mean other people's own did not work out.

timbuk2u: Gee. I wonder why.

ayswags: GOd i weep for the nigerian education system wtf adults can even read and comprehend that the author is a journalist and it neccessarily does'nt mean thats what she is experiencing in her marrige but just a common writeup about what' going on i n some marriages

TYTAN: ? ? ?. The guilty ones are very very very silent.

melojames: Great article by Funke Egbemode

Fairgodwin: You're one fine lady, I must confess.

dasparrow:

You should not be surprised. Most Nigerians are educated illiterates. They go through school but education does not go through them.
