"He called his mum to come to the house. It was just a normal day. After he finished eating, he told me he was tired of the marriage and needed his freedom. I was amazed and asked him why, but he did not explain anymore. I did not understand him, but I had to let him go. I later found out he was cheating with another white woman. I felt betrayed."
"After he broke the news to me, I left the house to find a hotel so I could cool off. He called the police to report me afterwards. Even though I was hurt then, I have recovered. I have moved on. I am in a better place. He pays child support because we have two children. We are co-parenting. He sometimes comes for the children."

Yaa Takyiwaa said she has learnt several lessons from her marriage. She indicated that she would not want to marry anytime soon, even though she is dating another man. She compared her relationship with the white man and the black man.

"Marrying a white man is boring. We could not even watch TV together because everything seems extra for them. However, with the black man we can talk and understand each other."

"Wow, this is my story. After 18 years of marriage. My husband is black, not white, but from another country in Africa. He also woke up and said he was done. Same question this lady asked her husband, I asked mine too, and he said I am a very nice person and a great wife, but just want freedom. Is it a new trend?"

"When a man says he is 'done' in a marriage, it is rarely an impulsive, overnight decision. It is frequently the final step in a long process of emotional detachment, often referred to as "quiet quitting," where the mental, emotional, and physical exit happened months or even years prior."
