A social media post by a woman has sparked a debate on relationship dynamics after she revealed her husband’s reaction to her acceptance speech at her workplace’s end-of-year awards ceremony.
The woman, whose identity remained undisclosed, shared that her husband was upset because she didn’t mention his name in her acknowledgments when she received the award for the best working staff.
She explained, “It’s not like I deliberately did so, but honestly, he contributed nothing, and so it was easy to forget him. I honestly wasn’t even thinking it’d create problems.”
According to her post, the husband felt humiliated, stating that all the other women who received awards credited their husbands in their speeches, which made him feel like a fool.
She continued, “As a woman, you can easily tell when a man’s energies towards you change. My husband no longer has time for me and the kids. Even when I need someone to help take care of the kids, maybe I need to attend to something very urgent somewhere, my husband will never step in.”
The woman mentioned that she emotionally detached herself from him long ago to avoid depression. She stated, “I do my duties as a wife, but I no longer break my back for him like I used to. Me and the kids have learnt to live like he doesn’t exist. I stopped giving him that one-sided energy I used to give him, like I was the only one who wants the marriage.”
She concluded with advice to unmarried women, urging them to be themselves and not to exhaust themselves for men who won’t appreciate it, stating, “Just pray sincerely to God for a man who loves you. Most men honestly don’t care what a woman brings to the table, if they love you, they love you. They appreciate the little your strength can do to support.”

“My husband is pissed I didn’t mention his name as part of my acknowledgements when I received the award for best working staff at the end of year and awards ceremony at my work place. It’s not like I deliberately did so but honestly he contributed nothing and so it was easy to forget him. I honestly wasn’t even thinking it’d create problems. It wasn’t deliberate tho. He said all the women who received awards credited their husbands in their speeches. It made him look like a fool. As a woman, you can easily tell when a man’s energies towards you changes. My husband no longer has time for me and the kids. Even when I need someone to help take care of the kids, maybe I need to attend to something very urgent somewhere, my husband will never step in. I’d have to drive them all the way to my mum’s all the time. When I ask him for something, he’ll never give me, making so many excuses even when he can afford it. I know my husband, he has changed a lot. The day he begins being so nice to me then he wants sex or a favor from me and so many other things I can’t pen down. I don’t want to get depressed from thinking about this so I emotionally detached myself from him long ago. I do my duties as a wife but I no longer break my back for him like I used to. Me and the kids have learnt to live like he doesn’t exist. I stopped giving him that onesided energy I used to give him, like I was the only one who wants the marriage. Some Men will be shouting, I want a supportive woman, a woman who is like this and blah blah blah only to get them and treat them like fools and rags. My dear young ladies who aren’t married yet, be yourself, don’t break your backs for them, they won’t appreciate it. Just pray sincerely to God for a man who loves you. Most men honestly don’t care what a woman brings to the table, if they love you, they love you. They appreciate the little your strength can do to support.”
