You could have handled this issue with more tact.
You have unwittingly and inadvertently set yourself up with the wrong mob with your poor timing and insensitivity.
Truly, it is he who wears the shoe that knows where it hurts and I am not interested in who caused what but you don’t kick someone who is already down and helpless talk more of the mother of your children.
Making this announcement at a time when Annie is down and battling obvious mental breakdown is cowardly, unmanly and outrightly heartless.
A woman who gave you 26 years of her life deserve to be treated with some respect irrespective of her transgressions and the motivations for your actions.
26 years is not 26 days.
No matter her excesses, Annie truely loved and still loves you. It is obvious even to the blind that she practically lived for you and her entire existence revolved around you. She tolerated and endured alot of public betrayals, philandering and emotional torture yet she stayed with you.
It has now become quite clear why she has relapsed and sought refuge in substance abuse as alleged by some quarters evidenced by her recent media appearances where she appears disheveled, disoriented and lost.
Tuface Idibia, the brotherhood of men are not happy with you irrespective of what your reasons might be.
Annie deserves some respect. She earned it.
Yes, every unhappy spouse should seek happiness elsewhere and Divorce is better than an unhappy marriage but you should be the man and accord her some dignity through the process. She is a woman for Christ’s sake.
Even if there is no way to remedy the union, I support your decision to leave but why not accord her some dignity and allow her to announce the divorce to the public?
That’s is the least you can do for a woman who stuck by you through thick and thin. A woman who gave you 26 years of her life and two beautiful children amidst countless emotional torture and miscarriages.
Your handling of this issue is quite strange because I read a candid interview you gave a few years ago about your journey with Annie.
You admitted that no woman on Earth will stomach what Annie tolerated from you.
What changed?
Why not divorce her secretly and allow her some dignity?
Bros, You goofed on this.
Your poor handling of this issue has portrayed you in an abusive light.
You might have won in private but you already lost heavily if not irretrievably in the public eye therefore, you must brace for impact because the calibre of shege and backlash that you will face from an obviously irate female social media mob will be child’s play compared to what Yul Edochie faced in the last three years.
Unfortunately for you, no man with conscience will ever support your cowardly handling of this issue.
Unlike you, Yul Edochie didn’t throw May under the bus. He allowed her to play the victim. That is what real men do for their women. You were not made stronger for fancy. A woman’s weaknesses should never be exploited for any reason if you truly understand the fundamentals and requirements of manhood.
Worse is that from the corner you have successfully boxed yourself into and In a bid to exonerate and reinvent yourself, you might be forced to open up a can of worms and start revealing dirty family secrets so as to justify your decision but be rest assured that that changes nothing.
YOU LOST MY RESPECT ALREADY.
I will advise you to brace for impact and quit social media for your mental health because what is coming will not be funny at all.
May God help you.
Peace !!! Obinna Tony Afamefuna
