“I Just Don’t Have The Desire For Marriage Anymore”

Media personality Chude Jideonwo has talked candidly about his disinterest in marriage and the reasons behind it.

In an interview, Chude revealed that while he was in his 20s, he was keen to be married.

He claims that he came to the realisation that his desire for marriage stemmed solely from his loneliness. He revealed that he believed that finding a wife would make him feel less alone.

“So when I was in my 20s, I was desperate to get married. I was very lonely for some reason. I was succeeding, but I didn’t feel so complete. Now I know it was loneliness. I just felt a wife was going to cure me of loneliness.”

However, he revealed that he no longer feels the need to get married. He revealed that because he is financially secure, many people put pressure on him to get married and start a family.

Chude Jideonwo narrated how many people made fun of and shamed him for not getting married and having children.

"Right now, I just don't have the desire…"

“Are you sure he even wants a woman”

@AskWhyWithLola:
“I’ve noticed many commenters here are struggling to accept this decision, and some seem unconsciously triggered by it.
Maybe we need to consciously elevate our reasoning. We should understand that if you don’t find the societal norms guiding our thoughts and decisions to be logical, you don’t have to lives by those standards. You are an independent human being, not a robot. You possess the capacity for reasoning, so why would you act in ways you don’t understand or find justifiable simply because they are societal norms? To do so might be the unwillingness to acknowledge your own power to think differently, avoilding your true self, a self capable of initiating change.
These standards were created by certain individuals. If you don’t see a valid reason to adhere to them, it is perfectly acceptable to live according to your own principles and understanding.”

“I was so anxious to get married between 2019 and 2023- but everything changed afterwards. I have dated but the relationships do not last. The idea of marriage is not really that strong any longer. I don’t even have mom anymore so, it complicates things
I can’t discuss this with my family because they will say it’s spiritual.”

@iam_emmizypro:
“A lot of you wrote below that his response make U suspect him to be gay but you are all just shallow minded lots. This person here understands what he wants and doesn’t care what the world think of him. Many of U don’t know what you want and are too ashamed of what ppl wud say”
