The duties that come with being a husband are among the most difficult and unappreciated jobs, according to a Nigerian woman who has urged men to reevaluate marriage.
She made the case in an online video that men automatically assume a variety of responsibilities after marriage, such as being the family’s provider, protector, driver, and emotional support system.
She noted that husbands frequently offer the same services to their wives and children without receiving payment, drawing a comparison between the duties and professional professions that individuals are paid to perform.
She claims that a husband essentially takes on the role of a security guard, keeping an eye on the family’s safety, especially at nite.
Additionally, she defined husbands as drivers who take their wives and kids to work, school, and other locations, particularly when the wife is expecting.
The woman went on to emphasise the emotional and mental demands made on husbands, drawing comparisons to the roles of relationship managers and human resources.
She said below…
“At this point I don’t advise men to get married again because being a husband is one of the most useless and unpayable jobs on earth. Make it make sense to me. You got married to a woman and you immediately became her provider and her protector. These are payable jobs.
“Let’s break it down. Being a security guard is a payable job but you are offering that service for free to that woman and her kids. Sometimes in the middle of the night you are expected to move round the vicinity and environment to check out who and who is not sleeping.
“Number two, you became her driver. These are payable jobs. You drive her and her kids. You drive the kids to school, you drive her to work, especially if she’s pregnant. You become her driver and these are payable jobs.
“Number three, the emotional and mental load of that family becomes on your shoulder. Do you know how much people are being paid to be HR and relational managers….”
