Nigerian Lady Narrates Her Experience With Her Married Friend Who Shamed Her For Being Single

An Ireland-based Nigerian engineer, has narrated how a former class mate single-shamed her after she posted a nice photo of herself on WhatsApp.

According to her, after the former classmate who also happened to be her friend viewed her status, she immediately posted that a woman’s value is tied to her husband and family and that she’s not going to be young forever.

Going through her friend’s status, she saw the post and sensed she was referring to her. She tweeted:

“I posted a nice photo of myself on WhatsApp, a class mate of mine who’s married with 2 kids viewed my status and immediately posted “You’re not going to be young forever, a woman’s value is tied to her family and husband. Make the right choice.”

I have been nothing but supportive since she got married and even called to congratulate her when she put to bed, so I don’t know where this is coming from. Lol people are strange indeed.”

Reacting to the tweet, @Anonymous shared his own personal experience:

People are pathetic and mean. I just got married as a man at age 42, very late I know. But before I got married, I called a friend of mine, telling him God has finally said yes to my prayers. Thinking he was going to be happy for me like others.

The next thing he said was, it was not a good news at all. That all my mates were married with children and some are even done with child bearing. That day, I felt the lowest in my life, I shed tears that day.

It wasn’t as if I didn’t want to get married earlier, but I had no money. People should stop mocking their fellow humans who get things done very late. You don’t know people’s story.

Another added:

Check well now, that your friend is a full time housewife, who brings nothing to a man’s life or table. She is unhappy, hates herself and her husband so she is trying to drag you down by shaming you with the only thing she thinks she has gotten right in her life.

Having your own life, source of income, and happiness before marriage is the most valuable thing you can take to a marriage not some leachy, clingy, unproductive mindset like hers. Keep being you, and do what you want when you want to.
