The Married Bachelor: The change of marriage shouldn’t affect
just the lady; she changes her name to yours, you pretty much get an
indoor restaurant and free “bad things” whenever you like… it’s not
right for a man to get married and still wants all the perks of
bachelorhood, I feel when we get married we are both changed, you cannot
act like it is only your spouse that has to be responsible while you
pretty much ball alone…
There are some things some married men do that is kinda wrong and to me it is bachelor’s behaviour.
How To Spot A Married Bachelor
Alone with my thought:
He always wants to be alone, he wants to have his own time, all the
time. He may provide school fees and a lot of other stuff but doesn’t
want to hear the noise, doesn’t want to get a bit messy and runs away
from every chance to bond with the family.
Iya Basirat Character:
I cannot wrap my head around men that cannot eat one soup twice, ha! I
love cooking but that is tough, everyday new soup? I had a friend that
once her husband is in town she is not as excited, there was a day she
ran quickly to choir practice before the guy got home, the guy don’t
only want new food everyday, he wants her to cook it fresh. For
Instance, if he is coming now, the food should be almost ready, don’t
cook it down and drop in the fridge and no, tomorrow there should to be a
new soup or food, no food sleeps overnight and she has to buy the
ingredient fresh, I was stunned!
I asked myself if this is not
witchcraft, what is it? Was it something the girl did while they were
dating that he is paying her for? When he is offshore he eats anything
o.
Dear married bachelor if you cannot eat soup that stay in the
fridge or freezer then you would need to find a buka around the corner,
afterall they cook daily.
Don’t touch my phone: I hear some
ladies say, ‘it’s his phone, he doesn’t allow me touch it, let me allow
him have his privacy….’ The phone is not private to nobody, it is his
phone doesn’t mean you cannot snoop look around, it is not that every
time you pick it and go ‘let me see what you have been up to’ but you
should be able to look through his phone, share in some of his gist,
laugh at jokes he made with his friends, what I mean is that you should
be able to hold his phone and he doesn’t go into a panic attack or it
result in a big fight.
Friends first, family later:
There are some men when you hear what friends have to say about them
then you the wife would go “abeg is that my husband” you hear how he was
there for his friends and he even extends it to their families, things
like “your husband is so nice when I was out of town he helped my wife
with the school run by taking our kids everyday to school on his way to
work, he picked me from the airport, etc” then you ask yourself is that
my husband knowing that for him to do you a favour, he cannot! Chai!
When they talk about our husbands outside may we know it is them. Family
first!
Hanging out with the boys: I don’t have anything
against a guy having a guy time here and there but when it becomes guys
over family, then there is a problem. “Oh hanging out with the guys”, “I
want to go hang with my guys”, “It my guy’s birthday”, “it my guy’s
sisters wedding”, “just me and the boys”, why can’t our wife see your
boys na and a married man should enjoy his wife and family more than his
guys… I know someone whose husband never goes out with her even to
weddings, they have one car and if she insist on going out with him, he
must find an excuse or leave the car with her and use a taxi or even a
bike. She is pretty and looks good so that is not the problem, it is
bachelors behaviour, he doesn’t want the burden of her coming along with
the kids, he just wants to be free from all of them, I heard he
travelled to London recently, though they all got visa, he said he would
go check out the place first. Na wa..!
Going out and Coming anytime:
As a bachelor you did not owe anything to nobody but when you are
married and you want to go out, tell your spouse where you are going to
and when she should expect you back. I was at a friend’s place one day
and she had a visitor, when the visitor was talking about her husband,
she did not seem to know when he would come back or where he was, she
ended up saying, ‘I normally don’t wait for him, I just drop the key
where he can find it and go and sleep’. But why? Why would you act like
this men? Imagine you call your husband and you ask where are you, some
would say “somewhere, around the corner, hanging with my guy” when are
you coming and they go “I don’t know na, don’t wait up o’…. It is all
bachelors behaviour and bad manners for marriage.
Hiding assets and sharing liabilities:
Some men would not tell their wives their assets, they will not say
their salary they kind of feel it is theirs not hers but the truth in
marriage is that there is no mine , it is always ours but when they get
into trouble the first person they call is their wife, and start asking
for advice and seeking prayers.
Some men would rather take advice
from friends than their wife… very dangerous, no one has got your back
like your wife. Dear men, you can do better, she is your wife!
