“He is from Enugu while I’m from Imo state, our marriage lasted for 7 years before I left him.
“I left him cause he was a mummy’s boy, he does anything his mother asked. I suff3red in that marriage that I didn’t have a choice than to leave him to marry his mother. First born but behaving like mumu 😡😡.
“Na because I still small then, nobody go follow me do that rubbish again now.
“That’s why it’s good to be mentally and emotionally matured before going into marriage. Will put the details here when I’m emotionally ready to talk about it.”
