Dear MIMsters: My Husband Is Depriving Me of this One Thing Which Can Make Me Fulfilled
I am a 27-year-old woman and married to the most wonderful, caring and loving husband anyone can find. We have a daughter. Right now, there’s only one other thing I want to make me fulfilled woman.
My issue is I have always wanted to be an actress because I am a talented actress. I used to act back then in the days in church and at school.

I started going for auditions immediately after I graduated from secondary school and my mum supported me. When my dad found out about this, I became his number one enemy. He called for a family meeting and told them that I want to go into prostitution.
My mum was the only one who supported me. My father gave me the ultimatum to choose between my my education and acting. With that kind of ultimatum, I had no choice but to choose my studies. I chose my education because I know it meant it.
During my third year in school, I got married to my husband I still nurse that dream of becoming an actress. The sad thing is that my husband doesn’t like it and doesn’t want me to have anything to do with it.

Sometimes, when we are relaxing and watching movies, I try to chip it in by saying I will love to go into acting, he will just flare up but I really want to fulfill my dreams but I don’t want to hurt my husband and destroy my marriage because these are also very precious to me.
How should I handle this?
I always tell people to actualize their dreams before getting married. That way you marry someone who is ready to accept you fot what you do. It’s a tad bit too late for you becoming an actress now as your husband doesn’t want any of it. Keep talking to him about it and if you are lucky he agrees.
Kill that dream in your mind cos it’s already dead, if you had been acting before you guys met, it would have been a different ball game.
I don’t see dat dream living
