Almost every married woman is in love, but not with their husbands

For some women, marriage is their greatest support system

In some cases, only support system

If every other thing fails, marriage is the last resort

I have a friend, she is engaged, and the date for her marriage has already been fixed

Her fiance lives abroad

They just got engaged because according to her, his mum wants him to marry an Imo state girl, and she is from Imo state.

That's his reason

Hers is... You will find out soon, keep reading...

Oga lives in Germany and my friend lives in Nigeria

She is so happy, in fact, the day he proposed, she almost fainted

Not out of love, even though she claimed it is

But out of relief

Finally, she gets to leave poverty and Nigeria

Get this... She was in a relationship with a Nigerian guy

She was in love with him before German brother came into the picture and she realized it was a situationship

It took weeks to jump ship

Switched to new guy even without meaning to

Circumstances just happened

Her parents are poor and can't support her

Her ex couldn't do enough because he is a minimum wage earner

She is unemployed despite being a graduate

She is unemployed because all the places she worked, the men wanted to sleep with her

She started a business, but every entrepreneur and start-up living in Nigeria knows business is hard for a Nigerian in Nigeria under this evil administration

She was at her wits end when this new guy showed up

Now she is in love, or so she thinks

The point is

Love is self-interest not unconditional

Once a total stranger or even your enemy starts giving you all you need every time you are in need, feelings will definitely grow

Need is the seed that grows into feelings

Most people aren't getting married out of love but need necessity and survival

I don't blame them

It's survival

They don't make the decision out of free will but a need to survive and stop suffering

When they see a ring, they don't see love, they see support

Almost every married woman is in love, but not with their husbands

That's why married women are the most unhappy, forget the social media clout

A large percentage of awon married women didn't marry the man they love, they married the man who married them.

In my friend's words...

Hunger can make you think you have feelings for the person who bought you food
