Stories, learnings and reflections #10 and (Marry an assets not a liability)

Source

I want to talk about the story of a man who lost hope because of the kind of woman he married. According to him, they had married for 15 years, and she had given him 4 children, two males and two females. Back then he use to take her to places like museum, zoo, bars, clubs and mall to have some funs. He use to credit her account with sum of 500,000 naira monthly to take care of her daily needs.

He can't remembered when last she complained of him not playing his role as the breadwinner of the house, due to the way he expresses himself towards her.

Even when she was sick and when her biological mother was very ill, he will be the one to pay the hospital bills of almost a million, and take care of her everyday medications, equipment used and the kind of professionalism applied. He did all this things to sustain the marriage. Because he actually loved her from the whole of his hearts.

What happen nexts?

The moment he lost his job, things begin to go bad for him. Even though he was still insearch for another one. His wife turned blindly on him. No time and no attention for the family. She always go out everyday and comes back late in the night. This continued for almost two years until she came out boldly with a divorce letter, took him to court when he refused to accept the divorce and she won.

He decided to move on with the children. First, the house he built, something happen during that season of lost, and so he had no choice than to sell it out. And so, after this mishappening, he moved to a thatch building where he began his journey afresh again.

I learnt even though I'm a lady not to marry a liability. I can see in this story that the man was the only one providing for the family and while the wife was just busy gathering the man's wealth for her own selfish interest. If it were some women, they would have been saving the money for future use. But not every women are similar.

I invite @basil20, @goodybest and @eglis to participate in this contest.
