REVEALED: WHY MOST MARRIED MEN DON'T EXPOSE THEIR WIVES ON SOCIAL MEDIA

REVEALED: WHY MOST MARRIED MEN DON’T EXPOSE THEIR WIVES ON SOCIAL MEDIA

By Peter Ndagi.

There are this forty something years old guys who would rather die than post their picture with their wives on social media. Those guys you would send a random question like an arrow and they just collapse. They only talk about families when they have nothing else to talk. Perhaps, when there is little energy and vigor left after watching a draw less game of Manchester United versus Swansea. “Mama watoto had issues yesterday after we had a drink.” He would say. 

Nevertheless, Ababu Namwamba has recently proved that we still have men who are charming and fascinating. The kind of photos he posts on facebook can make you sell a ‘Kaplot’ in Ruai to buy a camera. But let us focus on this other guy, call him X. What are the reasons for the guys who seem romantically challenged on social media?

Mr. X may be having a psychological problem. May be he fears what his colleagues and peers may think of him when they see the wife behind the man. Maybe she is not that good looking as he would wish her to look like. They will say probably tell Mr. X that he confused himself. Was that your choice in a country of 40 Million Kenyans where majority are ladies? You all know the effect of such a statement to a man’s esteem. It will sting him like a wasp.

The guy is a player. On social media a lot of guys are the read only type. They just read on other peoples post like you are doing without a comment. They check your photos and leave the page without a trace behind. So when you post a photo of your wife on social media they will take not and stay unspoken. The day Mr. X will start a hunting spree is the day he will realize that he is in a cavernous ditch. A comment like, why do you want to hurt that mama in your profile picture? And you are like that mama is……….just a mama.

He is a private man. Some men would prefer a silent life and a low profile. Mr. X maybe that man who doesn’t like anyone poking their fingers on his family. He protects the family from the limelight for fear of certain unforeseen dangers. 

Mr. X was forced to marry the lady. Some people will puzzle at this. How on earth does that happen? There is freedom to marry? Where? I would refer to the constitution. Katiba ni wewe.  For a fact forced marriages happen. For instance you met with a lady in a party. At first you presume her hoping to get a better catch before the party ends. Then the turn of events surprises you. The beautiful ones are all booked. So that lady who you don’t really like seems as the last straw to a series of quagmires. What do you do? You let the cold bite you off?

The more you take the vodka the more the lady becomes beautiful. By the time everybody is merry making, the lady has turned to a Lupita Nyongo. You vibe her and you succeed boxing her. She agrees to spend the night in your house. What do you do? By the time you are at your residence you are like a dark horse on heat. You hit her like nobody’s business. 

In the morning you realize that shit happened. You didn’t use protection!!! Hangovers are like all over you, and she is like I wanna leave…Mum is calling. You don’t wanna open your eyes to lose a sleep….Give me your number she asks. You dictate to her with a drowsy mood and she leaves… She doesn’t take P2.The next big bung from her is though a message.  She is pregnant and she won’t risk her life to abort. Her mother is an advocate and her father is a CID officer. To salvage your frantic life you choose to marry her. Does that explain anything?
