With the growing rate of marriage failures as a result
of infidelity in Nigeria and beyond, we
decided to look into the epidemic from our own
perspective and we realized that there are careers
that makes couple more prone to having their
marriages hit the rock.
Some couples are having a blistering career and are
earning an enviable pay package, but they are still not
happy because their marital life is at the receiving
end of it. Don’t be deceived by the range rover vogue
your friend drives, she really wished she could be like
you and have her marriage intact. Don’t be deceived
by the fact that some of this couples works in to
church clinging to each other like they have it all
perfect, it’s just a make-believe. Marriages are hitting
the rocks every day in this country.
Below are a list of the top 5 careers (jobs) that can
put your marriage on the brinks.
Note: I am not in any way advocating that these
careers are bad, or that everybody in the career
mentioned here is a victim. No. not at all.
Yes, the oil big boys are first on my list. Taking up a
career in the oil industry as an offshore dude makes
your marriage very porous. Some of my friends in
that industry confided in me and they all have same
problem. What is the problem? They earn an enviable
some with benefits but they have just six months in a
year to utilize anything they have acquired, including
their wives.
Imagine when a guy works two weeks on, two weeks
off. That makes it a cumulative six months on, six
months off by the end of a year. God help you, your
wife is the type that is promiscuous, and she knows
she has six months of uninterrupted sexual
escapades with the guy next door. Sorry bro.
One of my friend even complained to me that after
paying for DSTV full bouquet for 12 months, he gets
to watch it for only six months. It’s funny but, it’s that
bad.
Also, do I need to mention that some companies
deploy sex workers to their rigs on the high sea to
reduce work hazards? In fact, this service I learnt has
a good budget and it is outsourced to some core ‘HR
Companies. Ladies beware.
2. Aviation jobs (Pilots/Air Hostesses)
In addition to the usual “pilot’s wife syndrome” that is
common amongst women married to pilots, some of
them are also battling with the fact that her husband
has a side chick in every state capital and country his
plane touches. Not empirically proved though, but
pilots are hot preys of eagle-eyed girls searching for
fun and funds.
‘I don’t know about you, but I can’t marry an air
hostess,’ a guy once told me. If your wife happens not
to have her virtues intact, then she is the first
dumping pot for the promiscuous pilots. To make
matters worse, if she happens to be the bread winner
of the family, you won’t just be battling with the fact
that you are now the house-husband, but also the
fact that you can’t even complain when she goes on
numerous self-imposed trips with the high profile
contacts she met on board. Not all of them sha o!
A ‘quickie session’ is part of the job. Not their faults
really. It takes a special hand of God to shield a
young doctor from the advances of female patients
that feel they owe their lives to them.
The nurses too. Their attire does not help matters at
all. It could even pass for a sexual harassment case.
4. SHOW BIZ ( actors, models, Music Artist, TV
Personalities)
It’s not as if that marriage failure is high in this
industry alone. We only get to hear about the rate of
the divorce and separation in this industry because
they are public figures. When you are deciding to
pursue a career in this industry, be tactful and
prayerful not to blossom in the industry at the
expense of your marital life.
5. LECTURING JOB
The fact that lecturers are vulnerable to cheating on
their spouses is visible to the blind and audible to the
deaf. I know some university dons that live in the
university community alone without their families.
Some only get to see their family during weekends.
Common, there is a pool of girls of easy virtue in our
university communities today (I mean no disrespect
to the female folks), but the number of girls in our
higher institutions who are not ready to study is
alarming, but at the end they come out in flying
colors.
Don’t ask me how. Ask your husband.
