The title of this post is gotten from a chapter in the book Think Big by Donald Trump snd some other guy.
That chapter, of course, was written by Donald Trump. At first, when I read that part of the book I had a few reservations like a typical Nigerian would.
Why get married with the thought of divorce? Why get started with the thought of an end? WHY THIS, WHY THAT!!
Right now, I have a different mindset.
As a Nigerian in Nigeria, divorce in a marriage is seen as a disgrace, More to the woman than to the man. It's believed that the woman must KEEP the home. Forgetting that there are men who loathe the idea of being kept and are moved by the devil to be utter twats.
In Nigeria, we hear things like "Divorce is NOT an option".
Excuse me, dear, when the love lense falls off, can we have a conversation?
It's not new to see marriages where the wife or husband depends solely on their spouse, brings them to the ground and then runs off to the arms of someone else.
They start in love. Believing the love of the courtship will continue and "even though he doesn't have a good job now, we'll manage with what I have until he gets on his feet". Oh how lost, blind and foolish love makes us.
Maybe I'm this rational now that I'm single coz I don't have a man pressing my mumu button. But I'd like to believe that whoever I get involved with should be understanding enough.
I mean, it's generally believed that the ladies are the dependent ones in the relationship, so demanding a Prenuptial Agreement should make a man happy, shouldn't it?
