Nollywood sensation Jim Iyke has shared the poignant story of how his marriage crumbled under the weight of suppressed grief.
Speaking on the TeaTalk podcast, Jim Iyke opened up about how the loss of his mother profoundly impacted his marital relationship, given the strong bond they shared.
The accomplished actor, who is currently divorced, revealed that he grappled with the pain of his mother’s passing, a struggle exacerbated by societal expectations that often compel African men to hide their emotional turmoil for fear of being perceived as weak. Consequently, he found himself fighting the wrong battles, as he hadn’t properly grieved.
Jim Iyke also acknowledged the efforts made by his ex-wife to support him during this challenging period. However, he failed to reciprocate her love and support. He expressed his determination to marry again and fully savor the experience of marriage. Through the ordeal of his failed marriage, he has emerged as a wiser and more successful individual.
The actor concluded by asserting that anyone entering his life henceforth should do so on his terms.
