Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie has criticized women who remain in toxic relationships where cheating is common, simply because their partners provide them with financial support.
In an Instagram post, Rita Edochie said she finds it troubling that some women go as far as advising their men to use condoms when cheating, highlighting the loss of self-respect and dignity in such situations.
She contrasted this with her own generation, where women would firmly oppose infidelity by confronting their cheating partners, withholding intimacy, and creating discomfort. If the cheating continued, they would leave the relationship, regardless of the man’s status or wealth.
Rita Edochie urged modern women to stop equating money with respect and encouraged them to become financially independent so that they won’t tolerate toxic behavior for money.
The actress emphasized that by earning their own money and taking control of their lives, women can stand up to partners who disrespect them, rather than feeling powerless due to financial dependence.
She wrote, “IT IS REALLY VERY UNFORTUNATE TO SEE WOMEN PREFERRING TO BE IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIP WHERE CHEATING AND INFIDELITY TAKES THE LEAD SIMPLY BECAUSE THE SO CALLED MAN SHOWERS THEM WITH MONEY
“YOU CAN IMMAGINE A SITUATION WHERE A WIFE OR A FIANCEE TELLS HER MAN TO USE PROTECTION (CONDOM) WHILE HAVING SEX WITH ANOTHER WOMAN. CHA|||||||||||| WEEP
WHAT HAPPENS
“TO YOUR RESPECT AND PRESTIGE AS THE WOMAN OF THE HOUSE? HAVE YOU SOLD THEM FOR POUNDS AND DOLLARS?
Edochie added, “I WEEP FOR WOMEN OF THIS ERA. DURING OUR TIME ONCE WE FIND OUT THAT OUR MEN CHEATS ON US, WE WILL KICK AGAINST IT WITH FULL FORCE, YELL AT HIM, STARVE HIM SEXUA!!Y, GIVE HIM CERTAIN ATTITUDES HE WONT FIND COMFORTABLE AND IF HE REFUSES TO STOP CHEATING, WE WILL WALK AWAY FROM THE MARRIAGE OR RELATIONSHIP IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO HE THINKS HE IS OR HOW MUCH HE THINKS HE HAS.
“LADIES YOU CAN DO BETTER NOOOOOW, IT’S HIGH TIME YOU STARTED PROVING TO YOUR MEN THAT MONEY DOES NOT BUY RESPECT.
“SECONDLY, I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS THOUGH, LADIES HAVE SOMETHING YOU DO THAT FETCHES YOU MONEY, BE A BOSS, SAIL YOUR OWN SHIP BY YOURSELF, SO YOU CAN COMFORTABLY TACKLE A MAN WHO KEEPS MESSING UP.
“IT IS ONLY WHEN YOU DEPEND ON YOUR MAN FOR SURVIVAL THAT YOU WILL HAVE NO SAY WHEN HE BEGINS TO TRAMPLE ON, YOUR EMOTIONS AS A WOMAN. PLEASE PLAN YOURSELVES BIKO NU MAKA NA TATA BU GBOOO
“GOOD MORNING GREAT LOVERS OF RITA EDOCHIE I WISH YOU ALL A STRESS FREE DAY.”
