Marital ‘malice’ is no excuse for infidelity – Actress Shan George

Actress Shan George has weighed in on the marital controversy involving media personality Frank Edoho and his estranged wife, Sandra Edoho, condemning infidelity and addressing claims that silence in marriage can fuel crisis.

In a lengthy Facebook post, George said keeping silent during disagreements is not justification for a spouse to be unfaithful.

She noted that some people avoid confrontation by staying quiet while processing emotions, and such periods should be handled with maturity, not retaliation.

George noted that harboring resentment occurs in all relationships, including marriage, workplaces, and between parents and children.

She added that how couples manage those moments determines whether the marriage succeeds or fails and warned against a tit-for-tat approach while issues remain unresolved.

The actress emphasised that infidelity is unacceptable as long as a couple still lives together as husband and wife.

She said any man who pursues another man’s wife commits a serious wrong, regardless of any existing issues between the couple.

She advised women who are unhappy in their marriage to leave after making genuine efforts, rather than engaging in extramarital affairs.

George compared Edoho’s alleged silence to musician Mr Eazi, who once chose to email his wife about a disagreement instead of speaking to her directly.

She noted that he could have addressed it in person but opted for email.

“Any man who’s joystick rises for another man’s WIFE, has committed an unacceptable sacrilege, even if she and her man r keeping malice, or any other issues whatsoever between them, as long as d woman and her husband still reside under d same roof, it’s a No No.

“People keep malice with each other everywhere, marriage, office, etc, even parents keep malice with their children sometimes. Malice is a part of life, we r all guilty of it one time or another. I remember not too long ago when music star Mr. Easy sent his wife an email, and she complained about how he’s kept her malice over d issue for days, only to be sending her e-mail discussing d same issue. He could hv talked to her directly to talk about it, but he sent e-mail.

“Not everyone enjoys rancour or confrontations, so some pple simply keep quiet for sometime, while they process. One’s Approach towards such periods is what determines a win or lose in that marriage. Any form of ‘Do me I do u’ must be avoided at such times, until u resolve d issues.

“Traditionally, Spiritually, Morally, Romantically, and otherwise, sleeping wit another man’s wife is a TUFIAKWA that carries generational curses. Mothers, pls tell ur sons. As for d ladies, pls if d marriage Taya u, after u don try all ur best, pls leave d marriage, doing asiawo inside marriage is a sacrilege”, she wrote.
