The issue that made the man change
Trouble started in their marriage when the man noticed his wife was not willing to contribute to the running of the home financially.
When he confronted her, she blatantly told him he should not have wedded her if he was not buoyant to care for her. The netizen wrote:
"All the money used was from his single salary at Shell. This man talked about it for a while how she didn’t even bother bringing anything home and she retorted that he was a Shell worker and he shouldn’t have married her if he couldn’t take care of her.
"This egbon never forgot those words..."
After his wife's statement, the man began secretly acquiring properties and eventually built two houses before he filed for a divorce.

@Gunnerslegacy said:
"You are absolutely right. When the man is the only one doing all in the house, it's not right. I am facing the same issue but this time, not that my wife doesn't want to work, we haven't seen work for her. So she is now learning how to make hair. Hopefully, we will be better."
@hachinwhummyy said:
"My gf was into salary jobs that didn't remain much at the end of the month, I told her to go and learn handwork, if she refused pere ni, that would have been the end of our relationship, I can't chest all the expenses alone edakun."
@Dapostweet said:
"Marriage is ideally a union where two folks merge in understanding, goals, teachings, & purpose.
"It seems plausible that the "egbon" had discussions on these matters during their dating period.
