Some Today’s Wives
Look am sick and tired of this marriage. You won’t allow me to rest by your constant urge to have more children. I am okay with our two children. I can’t allow you to spoil my figure 8 by bearing another 4 children. You are so wicked that I feel you want to spoil my psychedelic looks. If you dare disturb me one this bed again, I will sue you for r*pe.
4). Yesterday’s Wives
My husband, take heart and don’t worry. I shall go with you to Zaria. Your being transferred from Lagos to Zaria might be a blessing in disguise. We shall take the advantage of the less expensive schools over their to save the huge money we spend for our children’s education, for future purposes. This your transfer could just be a blessing.
Some Today’s Wives
Me I can’t follow you to Zaria o. God forbid bad thing. From Lagos to Zaria? I can’t cope with such nonsense. To start living in a local town without my friends? You had better look for another wife. I can’t live in a town without SilverBirds, Shoprite and other big places. You’re on your own please.
Finally on What Most People Don’t Know About Marriages:
5). Yesterday’s Wives
My husband, I have enough clothes. This N1,000 you are giving me, keep it and save for a rainy day.
Some Today’s Wives
Why are you so stingy? Do you have super glue in your palms? What kind of shopping do you want me to do with just N10,000? What can I buy? Do I look like a cheap girl? I am disappointed in you. Your mates are buying iPhone for their girlfriends and wives, giving them $10,000 to go Dubai, you are here humiliating me with ordinary Naira. I don’t blame you. It is because I refused to marry my ex-boyfriend because of XYZ reason, that’s why you are messing with me. In fact, I will leave your house.
