A Nigerian man has explained why some husbands may turn to intimacy when trying to settle a quarrel with their wives, saying physical affection can be their way of apologising.

Speaking on the FamilyClinic Podcast, he said some men struggle to verbally say sorry and instead use intimacy to show that they want to make peace.

“As your husband now, if I offend you, there are times some men, they don’t really know how to say sorry. You need to understand your husband. That’s the truth,” he said.

He argued that when a husband approaches his wife for intimacy after a disagreement, it can be an indication that he wants to reconcile.

“If I’m coming to make love to you, that means I’m trying to make up with you. Let’s be realistic. Will I make up with my enemy? You’re my wife, and I know say me and you don quarrel. Some men, their love language is sex. Some men are like that,” he explained.

He also questioned whether a man needs to make an elaborate gesture before his wife accepts his attempt to make peace.

“Is it until I get Davido and carry live bands before you forgive?” he asked.

According to him, even physical affection accompanied by sweet words can serve as an apology for some men.

“If I come to you and I start touching you, and I start telling you sweet words, that’s the apology already. I don dey apologise be that,” he added.
