Man unhappy after 1-year marriage
The heartbreaking story was shared on social media platform X by @rudatwits, revealing the man's pains and regrets.
According to him, his wife had started pursuing goals and interests that he had never discussed with her, including furthering her education by pursuing a Master's degree.
While he claimed to support her educational aspirations, he felt the timing was not right and resented the fact that she made this decision without consulting him.
The husband's frustration escalated when his wife raised her voice during a disagreement about her plans.
He felt compelled to end the conversation and retreat to another room, leaving him feeling unsettled and worried about the future of their marriage.
In his words:
"We got married last year, I love her but she has started doing things which I don't like. She wants to go back to school to pursue her Masters. I'm not against it, but the timing is wrong because I feel like it's too early and this is a decision she took without consulting me forgetting that now she has a husband.
"When I confronted her over this, she raised her voice at me, so I just stopped the argument and went to a different room. I have not known her like this. I don't feel happy in the marriage again and I'm worried because it's too early for problems in the marriage."
Reacting to the story, a relationship expert, Peace Onwubu, advised the man to be more patient, tolerant and understanding with his wife.
"This usually happens for some couples that did not cohabit or spend a long time together before their marriage. Marriage unveils a lot and you need to be patient and understanding with your spouse during this period of unveiling. Open communication and genuine efforts to maintain the marriage is necessary at this point else the marriage will crash."
