He doesn’t know how not to take offense
Everybody offends him
There was no room for navigation with him
You may be his best friend one minute and his worst enemy the next
His mother watched him grow that way
Everybody says “That’s the way he is! That’s the way he was wired”
Hmm!
They left him like that
Making allowance for his weakness
Reminding one another often that “That’s the way he is”
If his mother offends him, he would refuse to pick her calls and keep malice for several days!
He does the same with friends and relatives
They said it was how he is
And he is Mr. Never do wrong
Pompous and arrogant to a fault!
He will never say sorry when he is wrong
He is not matured enough to apologize
He will just move on as if he did no wrong
But if you offend him, you must carry a sacrifice from the middle earth to Sauron on mount Moria
He was the first child of his mother
His parents were divorced
They said it was the divorce that damaged him!
He went through a traumatic experience and got stuck in his little world where he plays “Godzilla”
His mother failed to help him and did what most mothers conveniently do
She passed him on to another woman, hoping another type of love will change him!
He met the woman in Lagos
She was a pleasant, cheerful, big hearted and loving young lady
He could be pleasant on his good days and he showed her his wonderful side as they courted
Nobody warned her!
He was the kind of guy that his mother ought to hang a permanent “Caveat Emptor” collar on his neck!
Like a Beware of rabid dog sign!
But his mother didn’t
The young lady fell in love and he proposed!
He was a banker and she was a lecturer
It was a wonderful combination on the
Surface!
As soon as they got married, he was transferred out of the country!
She stayed back home
They became that kind of couple that sees each other for conjugal visit three times a year!
The distance didn’t shield her from his madness!
When they have a disagreement
He would
Block her on all the social media platforms and even her phone calls!
She would be reduced to sending him emails
He would keep malice for months
Talk to her in a manner that she would begin to question if there was any value in her as a human being!
It was his way
She had to cope
After five years of marriage
He was posted back home
They began to live together as a couple
Things became worse!
She had two children already and was pregnant with a third child
He refused to let her get a maid or any help
He refused to help her out on the home front
Mr. Macho!
He stopped giving her money for the upkeep of the house
He claimed she was earning salary and should spend it on the upkeep of the house
He took care of the rent and school fees
She had to cope with her pregnancy, cook, wash, prepare the children, tidy the house, help out with
Homework, study, write examinations, go to work and take care of all his needs too!
He refused to assist her
He would say “You are useless to me, lazy and you are not even fine! If you think I will descend so low as to bathe the children for you, You are Joking”
He was a mad dog
He threatened to beat her into a coma several times
Told her he doesn’t want to hear her voice in the house
Told her she had no respect for trying to explain why she took certain decisions!
It was too much!
It was not love
It was not the kind of marriage she dreamt about at all!
She reached out to the brother in Jeans and T-shirt
She said “My husband must not know I am seeking for your help or intervention”
He claims to be a born again Christian!
Last week, because I was ten minutes late on Sunday morning because I had to prepare the children for church
He threw us (myself and the two children) out of his car!
I had to record his excessively abusive words and play it for my family before they understood that I was in danger!
I don’t know what to do sir
The brother in Jeans and T-shirt prayed with her!
He told her that her hubby
Needs counseling!
She said her husband would never agree to get any counseling
Her husband was Chief know-it-all of Empty head county!
She reached out to his mother!
His mother had grown weary of their constant fight especially because her own son would take it out on her!
She didn’t want to be caught in the middle!
His mother said “You too be submissive, do whatever he told you and show him the respect he is demanding”
That was the cop out!
His mother had seen the weak one and dumped the vitriol on her!
The children were in for it too!
His temper
Was legendary and the children were always scared!
She despaired for life and even though she didn’t want to have a failed marriage, she was dying!
He was heartless and didn’t even seem to see that she was pregnant and overworked!
Emotionally, she was drained!
That same night, he
Threw her out of the house!
He just told her to pack her stuff and leave!
When she didn’t obey him, he started packing her things into her car himself!
The next morning, her husband called her elder brother!
Her elder brother drove to their house and helped her pack her things!
The farther away from the house they drove
The more she felt the steaming sunlight and breathed better
Even his mother said they needed a break!
She got to her brother’s house and took stock!
Suddenly, she didn’t feel like going back!
It had been six years of hell!
