After our wedding, my husband sat me down and said something that sħ0ckeď me.
He said he didn't expect my family to
"charge" him the way they did. How could he pay 0nè mi11!0n as briďe price, still buy a cow, food items, drinks, and other requirements that altogether gr0ssed another 1 million?
He was an’gry and ẞ!tter,
He said my family were ħeart’1ess.
That I didn't ďefenď him.
That I didn't speak up or help him talk to them.
I tried to explain that it was traď!t!0n, that there was nothing I could have done even if I wanted to. But it was like talking to a wall. His mind was already made up.
Then he dropped the real bombshell..
He saiď from that day onward, my family was no longer his responsibility. He owed them nothing. They are not allowed to stay in our house. They could visit—but not sleep over. Not even for one night.
I was ang’rý 😡 when I realized he was serious 🧐..
I told him that as long as the same rule applied to his own family, then i will be fine with it..
He said that was not a pr0ßlem. His family are doing well, they lived far away, and there was no reason for them to visit or stay over anyway cos they're not ßeğğars..
That was how our marriage started On a s0ur note..
It wasn't easy. But with time, my family realized they could never sleeþ 🛌 over, so they stopped trying.
Every Christmas & New Year, my husband would buy rice, garri, oil, plantain, sometimes even goat depending on the m00d and send to his family..
While my family got nothing.
Thank God I had my shop where I sell clothes bags and shoes. From my savings, I quietly sent money to my parents without asking him. I never complained. I never f0ught. I bore the responsibility alone.
Then my younger sister gained admission in Lagos.
She didn't know anyone in the city except me.
I beggeď my husßand. I cr!ed. I told him it was just for one week-one week until we found her accommodation.
He refused.
He didn't even hesitate..
I had to beg a friend & our neighbor to accommodate my sister. She stayed next door-literally next door 🚪 -while my husßand slept comfortably in our house without shame.
After she eventually got her place, she left.
She never visited me again until she graduated and returned to Port Harcourt.
I swallowed it all.
Then yesterday, Somethig happened, my hußand got a call 📱 that changed his m00d, he called me and said we needed to talk ..
To be continued…
