A Facebook post has set the internet ablaze after a Nigerian woman publicly shared the unbelievable reality of her marriage. The mother of three, Ijeoma Ekechukwu, said she once cooked and served food to her husband’s girlfriend, and even boiled water for the other woman to take her bath inside her own home.
According to Ijeoma, her husband made no attempt to hide his disrespect. She recalled moments when he scolded her right in front of the girlfriend, while the girlfriend calmly tried to “pacify” him as though she was the wife.

“Some women don’t know the meaning of humiliation until life hands it to them,” she said. “If you’ve not served food to your husband’s girlfriend, then you may not understand this level of pain.”
What made her confession even more striking was her courage to speak openly about it. Many commenters thought she was looking for attention or engagement online, but Ijeoma shut that assumption down quickly. She insisted that her experience was not exaggerated or crafted for social media.
“You think this is for likes? I haven’t even shared 25% of my story,” she wrote. “My marriage could be turned into a movie. Women are still going through worse, just because society tells them to endure.”
Ijeoma explained that she tells her story for one reason to show other women that silence helps no one. She wants women in emotionally abusive marriages to know that choosing themselves is not selfish, it is survival.
