•I turned
to party going for comfort – Wife
Thirty-year-old Femi Abdul of 10 Awosika Street, Opebi area of
Ikeja (Lagos) has told the court that he wants his three year old marriage to
Iyabode Abdul dissolved on the ground of gross disobedience and negligence of
duty as a wife.
“How can I have a wife that I cannot talk to and she listens?
The only thing she is good at is making trouble and going to parties. She is
never at home to cook and do the necessary chores expected of a wife She is
always going from one party to another.
If I knew she would end up this way, I would not have married
her in the first place. She is not ready to change and I can’t continue living
with someone who is unyielding and insensitive to my feelings. I want the
marriage dissolved,” Abdul said.
Iyabode, on the other hand, said she is trying everything within
her power to fulfill her duties at home, but that her husband is not
appreciative. She also promised to do all that is needed to keep their union.
“I am trying my best to be a good wife but my husband is always
complaining about everything I do and that is very frustrating. That was why I
turned to party going for comfort.
But I am willing and ready to do everything he wants to make the
marriage work because I still love him and I don’t want the marriage
dissolved,” she said. The case was adjourned to October 8, 2013 for possible
reconciliation.
