A Nigerian man has ignited a heated debate online after sharing his frustration over what he described as a drastic change in his wife’s appearance following their marriage, sparking widespread discussions about expectations in marriage and personal appearance.
Man claims wife changed appearance after marriage
In a viral post, the man alleged that his wife, who he described as “glowing” and highly attractive prior to their wedding, significantly altered her appearance shortly after tying the knot. Expressing his disappointment, he lamented, “This is not what I ordered. My wife na scammer.”
He went further to explain that before marriage, his wife consistently presented herself in a polished and appealing manner, which he found very attractive. “Before we got married, she was glowing, she was hot. I didn’t know it was a scam,” he added, implying that she no longer maintains the same level of personal grooming or appearance effort she had exhibited before their union.
The post quickly gained traction across social media platforms, attracting thousands of reactions. While some users criticized the man for placing too much emphasis on physical appearance in a relationship, others expressed understanding, sympathizing with his frustration over what he perceived as a sudden shift in his wife’s appearance.
Social media reactions
The online community responded with a mix of humor, advice, and criticism. @slimchief7 commented: “The wrapper is for easy access bro,” suggesting a humorous take on marital dynamics and the changes that can come with them.
@odogwu8242 added: “She go think say na joke till man go begin look outside,” highlighting a common social commentary about expectations and fidelity in marriage.
@ctsar_ct noted: “When they break up, she’d do a CapCut video showing how she was ‘suffering’ in marriage… Then she’ll go back to wearing biker shorts and looking hot. You’d not believe she chose to look shabby this way in marriage,” drawing attention to how public perception and private choices can differ.
@felixwise joked: “Please, you need to sue her for scamming you into marriage. I’m ready to help you assemble the best legal team. But bro, on a serious note, are you over-stressing her?” highlighting the mix of humor and serious reflection in the online discourse.
@Ifybekee_wealth added: “Person wey don win the match already. Maybe you should fix another match for her,” implying that perhaps the man should adjust his expectations rather than blame his spouse.
@Chief_Of_Wisdom concluded: “She has always been B.C. Women know how to pretend more than men,” offering a cynical but popular view on appearances and gender dynamics.
The video that accompanied the post showed the man lamenting about marrying a 21st-century woman, now exhibiting what he described as “B.C.” behavior after marriage. The clip has since circulated widely, further fueling debates about appearance, marriage expectations, and gender roles.
