Toke Makinwa, a well-known media personality, recently shared her thoughts on the topic of unhealthy marriages in her latest podcast episode, TokeMoments.
She revealed that she might have been one of those women who tolerate unhealthy marriages for the sake of their children.
In her words, “Many women remain in bad marriages because of their kids. You often hear women say things like, ‘The marriage is over but I’m only here for my kids.’ And I’m going to be real with you, if I had a child with my ex-husband, I might have been one of those women.”
Toke Makinwa divorced her husband, Maye Ayida, in 2015 after he impregnated his ex-girlfriend.
Toke Makinwa’s childhood trauma of losing both parents when she was eight years old and being adopted might have influenced her decision to compromise for her children’s sake.
She has a great life that she is grateful for but sometimes wonders how life could have been different if that didn’t happen.
It’s important to note that Toke Makinwa is not judging anyone here. She is simply sharing her thoughts and experiences on the topic.
