Dear GhanaWeb: Why do some wives regard submission to their husbands as a tough task?

Dear GhanaWeb,

I come in peace. I know you have more pressing issues, but please spare me some attention to let something off my chest and seek counseling from your audience.

I was diagnosed with a disease and was warned to steer away from oily foods if I wanted to live long. I heeded the advice of the health practitioner, and for two years, I’ve been feeding on non-oily foods; even if I’m craving chicken or fish, I prefer the smoked type.

When I met my wife, I spoke to her about my condition, and she nodded in full agreement to help me stay on course.

She impressed me in the first three months of our marriage but changed the following months. I get home, and she has prepared the food of her choice and expects me to eat what is harmful to me.

You admonish her behaviour, and she contests that my food requires a lot of energy to cook, and she can’t return home from work and prepare two meals every day.

How long does it take to prepare “konkonte” or “banku”?

I have been eating at food joints for the past six months, and I’m getting fed up. She also shows no remorse when I tell her I ate at a food joint.

I do not like how my wife is mistreating me, and what would she do when we began to procreate?

The only resolution I have figured out is to divorce my wife. We are barely a year old, and as the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure.”

Am I making the right decision?
