The lady said at one point, they needed money because of their child’s illness, so to save money, she decided to move to her parent’s house, but the man chose not to move in with them.

He used work as an excuse and lived in a separate town. According to the lady, it ended in an argument anytime she asked him when he would come home. When she could not take it anymore, she asked for a divorce.

However, the divorce made her bitter and she began to ignore any man who expressed interest in her.

The lady said a friend told her she had changed and suggested she get help. She started going to the psychiatric hospital and is now better.

Grace Apegyine said:

“Madam bcos it’s church u didn’t get to know each other, abeg abeg, u two were in a hurry to get married.”

Emefa Serwah Azure Aboagye wrote:

“The church again. I heard another lady saying that church folks and pastors don’t allow couples to get to know each other properly. Things are rushed and swept under the carpet and so many restrictions placed on the couple. Doctrine or church denomination forms just a tiny part of marriage. Human beings are deeper than that. Thank you for sharing and God bless you.”
