A Twitter user has sparked a debate on the micro-blogging platform after she advised that married women shouldn’t keep unmarried friends.
According to the tweep identified as Omotayo, a married woman shouldn’t be close friends with a single lady if she wants her marriage to thrive and last.
To further reiterate her stance, she says that after marriage, a married woman no longer shares many things in common with single ladies.
She says for a married woman, her life revolves around her marital life, while a single woman has an entirely different priority.
Her words,
As a married woman, you don’t have any business being friends with a single lady.
As a married woman, 70% of your life revolves around your marital life so yes if you ask me, there are times when your conversations was centered around business, night club, partying, the new guy, holidays, shoppings and all, now she has husband, kids and a home to look after.I don’t know how you want to put it but the thought and mindset of a single and married lady can never be the same, not like you can’t still have them as friends, they ain’t just the type of close friend you need if you want your marriage to thrive and last long
No one asked you not to have them as friends anyways, they ain’t just the close friends you need because you no longer share many things in common, how do you relate a marital related issue with someone who has never been married for a day? What type of advice are you expecting?
I don’t know how you want to put it but the thought and mindset of a single and married lady can never be the same, not like you can’t still have them as friends, they ain’t just the type of close friend you need if you want your marriage to thrive and last long”.
Omotayo’s post elicited varying reactions on the platform. While some agreed with her, a barrage of others held opposite opinions.
