A 39-year-old Nigerian man has stirred controversy online after revealing that he is struggling with his marriage due to his wife’s physical changes following childbirth, a situation that has now escalated into infidelity and an unplanned pregnancy with another woman.
The man, who has been married for one and a half years, said his wife was slim when they got married but became noticeably bigger after their first baby. According to him, her sudden weight gain left him “seriously worried,” and he has repeatedly urged her to lose weight.
He explained that he encouraged her to go to the gym, even paying for a membership, and advised her to eat less. However, his wife reportedly stopped going to the gym after one week, saying it was too stressful, and also refused to follow his suggested eating habits. She insisted that he should "love her the way she is.”
The man admitted that her new appearance has affected his attraction to her, saying he now struggles to be intimate unless he is drunk. He went on to describe her current body size in harsh terms, saying she no longer looks like the woman he married.
His frustration, he said, eventually pushed him into an online affair with another woman two months ago — a relationship that has now resulted in a pregnancy.
The revelation has sparked debates across social media, with many criticizing him for shaming his wife’s postpartum body and resorting to infidelity instead of seeking healthy communication or professional counseling. Others pointed out the pressure many new mothers face and the physical and emotional toll of childbirth.
The man said he still loves his wife but feels trapped and confused, adding that he never intended to destroy his marriage. He is now seeking advice on how to navigate the situation, especially with another woman expecting his child.
