Last year or so, my bestie was contemplating leaving her marriage. The husband was a gynecologist and she wasn’t comfortable with him attending to women and looking at their vaginaś. The husband was also very handsome and fit with beautiful women as clients so I think it scared her.
Sometimes, they would send him whatsapp messages discussing about it and she just wasn’t comfortable. She said one even sent a picture of her veejay to the husband to explain something. She told him to stop his practice and do something else but the husband refused. He said it was his work and passion. He spent many years studying for it and wanted to practice it until He retires.
When we met and she was complaining about it, I told her I’d talk to the husband because I’m cool with him. She said it was just his job. He was a good man and father but his job made her uncomfortable and was putting a strain on the marriage.
I went to their place on a Sunday afternoon when He was home and after we exchanged pleasantries and ate, I told him what made me come. He said I should beg my friend to accept his job but I told him that wasn’t possible. She doesn’t like your job, bro.
I asked him:
1. Do you want to lose this marriage? He said No. He wants his marriage.
2. Do you want to lose this woman? He said No. He loves her dearly.
3. Do you want to see your kids only on weekends? He said No. He loves his family dearly.
I then asked him what was more important to him. Family or his job? I told him to think about it.
Months later, He left his practice, built a pharmacy and employed a pharmacist to manage. He also works with the pharmacist.
They’re living in peace now. Wife is happy. Husband is happy. Kids are happy.
Marriage is all about compromise.
