“After NYSC, I married my wife. We moved to Lagos, rented a three-bedroom flat, had two children, and I paid all the household bills even after she started working.
When I later lost my job, we downsized to a single room and still struggled to pay rent.
One day, while searching for my National ID, I discovered receipts for blocks, cement, wiring, roofing sheets, tiles, and a borehole. That was when I realised she had secretly built a house.
When I confronted her, she said she was waiting for the “perfect time” to tell me.
I feel betrayed and broken. The house is now completed, and she is begging us to move in, but I have refused. Should I move in with her or not?”
