Don’t ever stop your career for a man. Now I’m miserable and feeling useless. I used to be a working-class lady, busy with work and had my life together, going well financially. Then my husband complained about me being too busy and engaging with other people outside while I come home very tired. Mind you, I still did my duties as a wife and I even had a nanny I paid to help with the chores and our little 1-year-old daughter. So the complaints became too much. Then I resigned so I could have time and start a business with my savings of N3.5M. Then our rent was due in December and he said I should pay it, that he would refund me, that he had a client who wanted to pay him soon (he does yahoo actually).
I accepted to pay our rent—2.7M out of my savings—thinking he would pay back in a few weeks, according to him. But it didn’t go as planned because the client blocked him. Now fast forward till now, nothing is happening. Now we are both at home eating and sleeping. Seeing me every minute is bringing “see finish.” Now he complains about things in the house and me pressing my phone too much. It’s becoming tiring. At my age, being idle in 2025, I couldn’t even afford to pay my nanny anymore. Now I’m broke, he’s also been broke for 7 months. I’m jobless and miserable and I want to start applying for a job again.
