A woman has generated outrage online after explaining why her husband refused to attend his long-time friend’s wedding, citing a previous incident at their son’s naming ceremony.
The anecdote, published on social media, recounted how the couple’s friendship, which dated back to university, had became strained due to a lack of reciprocity.
According to the woman, her husband had kept the friendship going over the years despite worries about the friend’s actions.
She claimed that he even flew from Lagos to Ogun State to attend the friend’s introduction ceremony last year, displaying his dedication to the friendship.
However, months later, difficulties erupted when the same friend failed to attend their child’s naming ceremony, despite having confirmed his attendance.
“My husband specifically invited him and he said he would come, but on the day of the ceremony, he called to say our place was too far,” she said, expressing disappointment at the excuse.
“He sent ₦10,000, but we both live on the Mainland. After my husband travelled to another state for him, that reason didn’t sit well with us,” she added.
She claimed that the matter became more complicated when the friend later invited her husband to a wedding planning group, anticipating his participation.
“A month later, he added my husband to his wedding group. At first, my husband wanted to attend, but then he asked himself why,” she said.
“He eventually decided not to go. If our house was too far for our celebration, then his wedding is also too far,” she added.
