In a viral video, a woman, appearing to be a relationship coach, claimed that these wives lack the wisdom to preserve their families. She argued that a good wife should act more like a mother to her husband, guiding him to change his ways rather than engaging in similar behavior.
Wives who respond to their husband’s infidelity by being unfaithful themselves have sparked widespread discussion online.
Mama J stressed that wives hold a crucial role in shaping their husbands’ character. According to her, “You don’t have wisdom. You married that man to be his helper. Even if he is a cheater, you need to help him in that area. You are responsible for his upbringing too. Don’t you know you are his mother?”
Her comments ignited intense reactions on social media, with users flooding the comment section to voice their opinions.
Many disagreed with her views, stating that women should not be expected to fix or “raise” their husbands. One commenter, @arikeeee_, remarked, “Just because you settle for less doesn’t mean this generation will follow that step ma👏 We are in 2024 now.” Another, @adedoyin.oyin, pointed out, “Kind Reminder mummy, This is 2024, not 1930. T for Thanks.”
In a society increasingly emphasizing shared responsibility and equality in relationships, many believe that both partners must be accountable for their actions, not just wives. The expectation that women should correct a man’s behavior is seen by many as outdated.
