The Underrated Power of Our Mothers
Society often treats mothers like trash, yet they persevere, showcasing their mental strength and resilience. Women are mentally stronger than men, and their ability to cope with adversity is remarkable. Jennet Andrew's story illustrates this.
A Young Wife's Nightmare
Jennet, a young Nigerian woman, married Mr. Andrew after he paid her bride price. Initially, she was happy, but her husband soon became unfaithful. Jennet recalled, "After my husband paid my bride price, he took me from my parents to his house as his wife. I was a happy, good wife, but my husband started being unfaithful. I noticed he came home late at night, and I would want to ask him why he left me lonely in the house. He would reply with a slap on my face, yelling at me, saying what gave me the guts to question him. I would quickly apologize to him, but he continued his behavior, careless about how I felt."
A Heart-Breaking Discovery
Jennet continued, "I kept silent, but before my eyes, I heard my husband had impregnated another woman. I confronted my husband and asked him if it was true that he had impregnated another woman, but he said no, lying to my face. I relented until I caught him red-handed with the lady he impregnated. I was heartbroken, shed tears, and they ignored me as they walked past."
Reporting the Infidelity
Jennet took the courage to report her husband's infidelity to his mother. She recalled, "I was crying as I talked to his mother through the phone, and she replied, indicating that it's the nature of men to cheat, and I should just ignore him and continue living with my husband as if nothing happened."
A Rage and Hatred Formed
Jennet formed a rage and hatred for her mother-in-law that day. She wondered how her mother-in-law could say such hurtful things, implying that men's infidelity was acceptable.
The Pain of Many Women
Jennet's story relates to the pain many women face in their marriages. When a man cheats, it's often considered a norm, and the wife is blamed. Women are expected to *endure silently*, their feelings ignored.
A Double Standard
However, if a wife cheats back, she's considered an abomination, likely to be disgraced and even asked to pay a fine. Many women have endured this silent pain for years, their hurt and heartbreak overlooked.
An Underrated Superpower
Despite the pain, women continue to love, care, and nurture. Their resilience is an underrated superpower. Men don't have the emotional strength to tolerate cheating, but they cheat on their wives, and women still manage to heal from the heartbreak.
A Call for Equality
This is a matter of gender rights. Society's rules often favor men, but it's time for change. Women and men should have equal rights and respect. Women shouldn't be ignored or maltreated simply because of a bride price.
Treat Women with Respect
Always remember to treat every woman the way you want someone to treat your mother or sister. Women are not objects to be used and discarded; they are human beings deserving of love, respect, and kindness.
