In his words:
"When one is getting older, there are some things that should be stopped and one of them is womanising.
At the same time, my children are growing into adulthood and there are some things they shouldn't be seeing from me."
Also speaking, the woman said her husband used to be a womaniser but has turned a new leaf. Mrs Fanoiki said she doesn't have a problem with being a second wife.
According to the woman, her father married two wives and he thought them how to behave in a polygamous family.
