A wife who is many years younger than you will abandon you in old age - Kenneth Gedeons

The original post centered on actor Chiwetalu Agu’s advice to men to take care of their wives, supported by a video showing his wife lovingly caring for him in old age. The message emphasized commitment, patience, and growing together through life’s stages.

A comment then followed: “If you like stay when you reach 40 year old as a man then you will go and marry 21 to 25 year old and you expect her to be this same.” This response promotes a cynical and damaging view of marriage. It frames unions with younger women as inherently transactional and dismisses the possibility of genuine love, growth, and responsibility. It also subtly excuses neglect by implying that loyalty and care are age-dependent. Marriage is built on values and character, not age gaps or assumptions about selfishness.
