Protecting Yourself From Your Spouse? by injuredman: 6:38pm On Jul 08
Should anyone have reasons to protect themselves from their significant other?

Well .........

Two months ago, we got the sad news of the demise of my uncle who lived in Canada. He and his family have been in Canada since the mid 90s. Sadly, we didn't know he has been sick, we only heard of his death.

Last week, his only son brought the corpse back home, and burial preparations are ongoing. As we got talking with my cousin, I learned something shocking. He said that his dad refused to go to the hospital when the illness was less serious. Note that most places in Canada have free healthcare. The reason was because the wife would mock him and not care for him when he gets home from the hospital. Sadly, the son lives and work outside the city where his parents live. It was when the illness got worse, and was an emergency, that the man called ambulance, and was taken to the hospital. He had complications during the surgery, and died weeks after. My cousin narrated how his late dad was doing his own laundry after coming back from 2 jobs. Plus other things the man went through. I feel pained!

During our conversation, my cousin mentioned that, maybe his father would still be alive if he had acted like a friend he knows at work. He said that a friend he knows (Nigerian too), left home and went in for a surgery without the wife's knowledge. When the man was discharged, he checked himself into a hotel. When asked why, the man said he was protecting himself from the wife. That he cannot trust his wife under his vulnerable conditions. He rather paid someone to cater for him.

I was shocked! What could make a spouse to be scared of his spouse at such a moment. I used the word 'spouse' because it can happen either way.

For better and for worse; in sickness and in health? Abi things have changed?

The earlier you realize that you came to this world ALONE the better. Hmmm. You see two things that I have come to realize that are completely over-hyped is Religion and Marriage.

Every guyman should always have a plan B, C and D when it comes to women.

Stay alive if for nothing, yourself

I have a lot to say but I'll keep it at that.
