“I miss my unmarried self. This marriage life is not as easy as they made it seem. I won’t get married in my next life. The stress is not worth it, having to put yourself last while taking care of everyone.”
Another, tlhogi added:
“I’m a maid in my own house. No one cares when I’m sick… I have to get up and clean, and get my kids ready for school. I sometimes miss me… not the granny I see when I look in the mirror.”

“He doesn’t help with the kids. His support is only financially. I do school meetings, extra activities, pick ups and drop offs alone, night routine alone, feedings and bathing and still go to work.”
Another wife and mother wrote:
“I do everything for the kids and buy groceries even though he earns 4 times what I earn. I can’t even buy myself clothes. I’m lucky I wear uniform at work.”
Another, Midemine added:
“My husband doesn’t make the first move, whenever I want it, I have to practically ask.”
