Banker tells the heartbreaking story of how things went wrong for him after he lost his job, and how his wife and her relatives waged war against him until he moved out of his house.
According to a Twitter user identified as @Ekwulu, the banker had a perfect life with his wife, who was also from the working class.
But everything changed when he lost his job, and his wife made matters worse by bringing in four of her relatives to live with them despite the fact that she bore all responsibilities.
”I was a banker married to a banker until I lost my job via downsizing. For two years I searched for another job no way, I was paid off handsomely and I lost all the money in some business investment.
Within that 2 years, three of my in-laws moved into our home in lekki and it became hell for me, let me not go into the details of what I passed through.
My wife was paying the rent, school fees of the kids etc. It got worst when my wife was promoted and my mother in law moved in. She came into the dining room one evening and said it’s only food I like to eat, I told her to keep off my marriage and we had some exchange of words.
To cut it short, my wife came back and hell was lose, she said I insulted the mother. Very early next morning, I picked some few cloths and left.
I left everything l owned and took off to preserve my sanity.
After I left, I squatted with a couple of friends in Lagos attending job interviews, it was very rough for me but I thank God for my friends. It’s good to be good to your friends when you are up there, I helped a lot of them when I was working.
So they took it upon themselves to contribute money for me, because I lost so much weight. I once went to see my kids, they didn’t let me in, I stood at the gate for about 30 minutes.
But as God would have it, I landed a better paying job. About more than a year after our separation, bang!! She lost her job, moved away from lekki to the mainland. I heard she is blaming her mother for her problems, who cares.
She now sells stuff online. I’ve forgiven her but the marriage is over.
My two kids live with her, I pay school fees directly to the school and other child keeping expenses. This year she made several attempts to mend fences, but honestly I am done. I’ve moved on with my life. Today I have a better job and live comfortably alone”

@joycedsgn: Lol mine was the opposite, he actually asked me to stop supporting him, infact he humiliated me in front of his friends, I cried my eyes out because I was in love, I lost my two jobs everything and was depressed. But God gave me strength and I moved on. Guess what 😂
@nkedon2015: That’s why I appreciate my wife and her family. I have been out of job for 6 years now the love still strong and alive
@Oluwarotimikola: Congratulations you bounced back. You can still forgive her and take her back, she must have learnt her lessons by now and she would honour and respect you the more. If not for anything, you can do it for the sake of your kids. Think deep about it. 🙏
@TMinnesotta: You can forgive but don’t ever make her your wife again! She’s not a good woman 👩
@JayNnaemeka: Forgive and receive her back pls. She has learnt the lesson.
@NkyEzenwa: Be a good man to your good wife when all is rosier than normal cause nothing is promised for tomorrow…. Women understand nothing is permanent… Your husband may loose all he has temporarily be there for him and don’t cause him heart aches… keep your family at arms length.
