I wasn't perfect but I was his best - Maureen Esisi on failed marriage

Maureen Esisi has thrown some light on her failed marriage to actor, Blossom Chukwujekwu.

In a recent Instagram post, Esisi who goes by the moniker Redvigor took fans down memory lane to the day she received the news that her marriage was over.

Redvigor revealed it was her father who broke the news to her. She explained that her first reaction was to laugh and pace the room. Then, she pondered why she was the last to know about her failed marriage.

"I put both hands in my pocket and paced the room silently as he looked at me waiting on me to say something. I pondered in my head about what I had just heard, why I was the last person to know it, and how in the world we got there."

She went on to hint on tolerance being one of the reasons their marriage didn't work out. According to her, African culture encourages women to be more tolerant of whatever is thrown at her but the same is not applied to men.

"African culture makes it so that the Woman must take it all in, she must understand no matter what, she must be subdued, she must never complain, she must learn to live with whatever, she must forgive even when she can't, she must show happiness even when she is depressed, she must show strength even when she is weak.... and more. But the man, He is allowed to NOT take sh*t (even the tiniest of it) He would even be Praised for it. Life!"

Redvigor who will be 33 in September, revealed she is much happier with her life and added that even though she isn't perfect, she was his best.

"September 11th in View; I will be 33. I am Happier. I am at Peace. I'm stronger. I'm Richer. I'm sexier. I'm Single. I'm Free. I wasn't Perfect, I will NEVER be... But I was His Best! Someday, I will Tell this Story..."

Meanwhile, for many people, marriage may come with its own responsibilities but it also has its perks.
