And if she dares to complain, you'll start hearing things like ; Are you not a woman ? </p><p><br/></p><p> Abi you don't know you'll soon go to your husband's house?</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>  Is this how you're going to behave ?</p><p><br/></p><p>If she doesn't cook, Husband's house </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>If she doesn't do dishes, Husband's house </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>If she doesn't arrange stuffs, Husband's house </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>If she complains, Husband's house </p><p><br/></p><p>If she sleeps too long, Husband's house </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>If she wears what they don't like, Husband's house </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Any little mistake; Husband's house this </p><p><br/></p><p> Husband's house that</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Literally every thing she does she's reminded that she must get married.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I could even recall, my dad telling me that because I once talked back at him, that if I should try that in my husband's house, he will hit me </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Omo, that one just off me 🤨🤨😑</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Hit who?????</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Like...</p><p>Isn't marriage meant to be partnership??</p><p>Because me I nor con dey understand oo. </p><p><br/></p><p>What do you mean I'll be tired and because my husband has not eaten, I'll now in midst of all my tiredness go and cook for someone that can do it himself.</p><p><br/></p><p>If you've entered Tiktok recently, that means you might have seen the woman "Blessing Okoro" who was already 5 centimeters dilated</p><p>Which means she was already in labourrrrrr!!!! </p><p>And she left the hospital to go and cook jollof rice and plantain for her Chief corner stone, and to think of it, the so called husband was sleeping at HOME!!!!!!!</p><p><br/></p><p>This is the highest form of ragebaiting everrrrr</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>That's not all oo </p><p>You can go and search for it yourself tho</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>In my mind, I'm like "na wetin my papa say make I dey do for husband house?????
