An Honest Husband Will Tell You Not To Marry An Educated Woman - Eddidiong Bassey

The comment, “Now let’s hear from the man, without being biased or sentimentally blackmailed,” dismisses the lady’s point about how her education and achievements haven’t affected her marriage. It suggests that her husband’s support is either coerced or insincere, implying that men might only agree with their partner’s success due to bias or emotional manipulation. This remark undermines the possibility of a healthy, equal partnership and perpetuates the stereotype that men feel threatened by their wives’ accomplishments.

Such comments shift the focus from celebrating mutual respect and growth in relationships to framing it as a power struggle. By assuming the husband’s agreement is influenced by manipulation, the comment invalidates both his genuine feelings and the success of their marriage.
