A 26-year-old newlywed woman sparked conflicting responses on social media after disclosing that her spouse reportedly lied about his age prior to their marriage.
The woman who went by the handle @Idarabasimi described this on her X page. The woman claims that after dating a man who had often claimed to be 34 years old, she was married in December.
She said …
“I am a young girl of 26 years who got married in December.
My husband told me he was 34 years old when we were dating. Today, I was going through his file and documents and saw his passport where his birth year was stated as 1972.
This means he is 51 years old.
I have been crying since I stumbled on this. When I confronted, he said age is just a number and that he didn’t know he was up to 51 years old. Can you imagine?
In 10 years, he will be 61 years old while I will be 36 years. He has apologised but will I ever forgive myself for making this type of mistake?
I rejected a 37 year-old man, 51 year-old man deceived me and married me. Will I ever forget about this? Should I go for a divorce? I never planned for this type of life. Not that he is rich, I only married him to build with him.”
I believe that honesty is the foundation of any real relationship. If I truly care about someone, I want to be open and genuine with them, because I know that trust and acceptance are what make love strong.
Hiding the truth, like my age, doesn’t make sense to me if someone truly loves you, they’ll appreciate knowing who you really are. Being honest shows respect and that I value the relationship enough to be authentic. I hope that in the end, love is about acceptance and truth, not secrets.
I just want to be honest because I believe that the truth is what truly matters in love.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
