"My Mother-In-Law Crashed My First Marriage" – Mercy Aigbe

"I had a mother-in-law who didn’t like where I come from. She didn't like the fact that her son didn't marry a lady from their village. She made me go through hell. At a point when I couldn't take it any more, I left the marriage".

So you wouldn’t blame those ladies who wish their mother-in-laws were dead before they got married?
I swear I wouldn’t blame them. If I think back to what I went through, I wouldn’t pray for anyone to go through such because I went through hell in the hands of that woman. And for me to have woken up one day and decided to leave, it wasn’t easy because I was young and tried my best to please her. But she wasn’t pleased. I went out of my way to learn their language, learn how to cook different dishes just to please her but she didn’t bulge.

So what did your ex-husband do about it?
At first, he actually fought it but some women have a strong hold on their sons. In the end, he obeyed her. He didn’t like it that I was leaving but he couldn’t hold me back at the same time because he wanted to please his mum. We had fought the battle for a long time and it wasn’t as if it would come to an end, I had to leave.


Do you guys agree with her?

Yes oh! Some mother in laws are from hell! But I don't subscribe to the fact that all mothers in law must die,some are just terrible abeg! Mercy make sure your current marriage works, ur ex husband must marry him mama!

If we agree with her? Wouldn't know for sure what she went through, I wasn't there but I wouldn't want anyone to wish my mum dead 'cos she'll turn out to be a mother in-law someday. It's good she left and still living than for her to stay in marriage and go 6 feet under later. Life has to go on and I don't subscribe to domestic violence either.

So many mothers don't like there Son or there Daughter to marry from where they don't like. Her mother in-law may hate her because she did not come from there place.
