Don’t think you are the special on sent to rescue the husband from a difficult first wife – Nigerian journalist tells intending second wives

A Nigerian journalist, Zahra Abubakar, has advised women intending to enter polygamous homes not to think they are special ones sent to rescue men from their difficult first wives.  Many second wives are shocked to discover that, contrary to what they were led to believe, the first wife is not a problem at all, in fact, she often turns out to be a strong and positive presence in the marriage, she wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday. “Feelings of inferiority can quickly spark insecurity, leading to a sense of competition where none should exist. “If you choose to enter a polygamous marriage, do so because you genuinely desire it, not because you think you’re the “special one” sent to rescue the husband from a difficult first wife. The husband knows exactly what hes doing.”   The post Don’t think you are the special on sent to rescue the husband from a difficult first wife – Nigerian journalist tells intending second wives appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
