I'm at it again, and before you ask what it is again, it's regarding a Nigerian movie I watched on Saturday, in the middle of the night, when everything seemed quiet and warm.

And guess what, whenever I'm watching a movie I hate distraction or watching a movie with someone, I won't be able to concentrate fully on the film. So I decided to watch it when everybody was sleeping.

Before you say I'm selfish, no I'm not, it's just a personality of mine, but perhaps if I get a wife and children sha, maybe I will change, definitely.

Fast forward to the movie, I really can't recall the title, but the scene started with showing a family in a mansion house living happily with their only son, if I'm not wrong, the boy should probably be around 5-6 years of age.

As I said earlier, they're a happy living family, with one son and a sister-in-law living with them.

The first scene showed the husband sitting in the dining, staring at bills, due rent, NEPA bills, utilities, child tuition fee, loan notification letter and his wife stepping down from the staircase towards where her husband was sitting, on reaching him, she started romancing him and giving a mind-blowing soft kiss on his neck but he barely looked at her.

Wife asked, what is wrong?

Husband answered and said, I'm trying to figure out how to sort out all due bills.

Wife responded, bills bills bills all the time, have you forgotten we only have one child, when are we to have a second child with all this?

Husband stayed quiet and kept staring at her, and tried to explain things to her but she didn't give room for explanation, then the night passed, while husband was still trying to figure things out.

The night that changed everything.

Upon waking up the next morning, the husband was having breakfast while his wife walked down to where he was and handed him a list of what to get for their son's birthday.

Don't forget, this is the man that is trying to sort out bills which has not gotten means of how he will handle it.

Then he said to his wife that their son won't be having birthday this year, due to financial instability at the moment, come and see drama, she started calling names, telling her husband that it's not possible, that he had to find all means, by doing extra work or menial jobs to become a capable man, the man tried to hold a conversation with his wife and make her understand, but she won't listen.

Then the husband went to work, and tried to reach out to friends for help, he did everything in his power by collecting advance salary at work to sort out some bills, and on his way back home in the middle of the night, his safety was questioned, by almost hitting someone with his car when he was overthinking and trying to seek help but no one could seem to help at the moment.

Then he got home, the pressure from the wife started again, and he overthought things that night, he questioned his worth, due to what his wife said to him, he seemed worthless, incapable, he believed that night that he had failed as a father and husband to his wife, and on waking up in the morning, he was bitter, crying, and his son walked in and almost noticed that his own father who always seemed happy looked so sad, then his son said, daddy let me pray for you, and he did.

And that same day, he made a hard decision of his life, he wrote a letter, telling his wife that he had failed as a father and husband, that he believes she will be able to handle the responsibility when he's gone, and he left his ATM card, with available balance of the current month salary and the next following one, then he walked out without saying goodbye.

It's funny, when the wife got home and read the letter, she felt no worry, she didn't even care, and it's funny how she felt relieved, as if a stone was lifted from her heart.

And after a few days, she started spending, buying and dashing out money she didn't work for.

Forget to gist you, this woman no get work wey she dey do oo, she basically living on her husband's money all her entire life.

Then reality hit her, rent is due, utilities bills, her son tuition fee, gate man asking for salary, the car left by her husband got spoiled and no money to pay mechanic. And she started running from one place to another for loan.

Shebi na pesin wey get wetin dem dey do, dem dey borrow money? She had no one coming for her and her son had to stop going to school.

You know I told you that her sister lives with them, she noticed the situation and she had to pull out her life savings, to save the family and sell some other valuable things, to sum it up so the money will be enough to cover half debt.

Funny how this lady embarrassed her mother-in-law, when she came and asked for her son whereabouts.

The phase passed, then she started doing menial jobs and she got her mother-in-law's support along the way.

And one day, the husband visited his mother, she looked excited, hugged him tightly with tears on her face, then he had to explain everything to his mother.

Afterwards, the wife and her sister along with her son were invited for a dinner by their mother-in-law.

Say gan gan gan gan. 😂

On getting there, her son saw his father and ran towards him in excitement and the wife followed too. The meet up was supposed to be a happy moment, but it was a moment of breaking apart.

The husband explained his fault that, if he had not built his wife to a standard where she won't be willing to come down from, maybe this would not have happened, cos the guy spent so much for her and made her every single day a happiest moment of her life but when things went wrong she's not willing to reduce the standard because they are facing financial instability, she didn't mind her husband's mental health, she made him look worthless.

But to you, do you think the guy did something wrong, by building high standards for his wife?

Later sha, they later reconciled and were back together.

But wait, if na you, can you really forgive such lady and reconcile with her?

Will be waiting for your honest opinion in the engagement room.

Thank you.
