In one of her most candid interviews yet, Omotola opened up on the
reality of being married for over a decade..The interview was conducted
in New York by Ekerete Udoh of Vanguard ..She was very honest......
Asked if she had ever met men that she genuinely took a liking to, and was tempted to sacrifice her marital vows..
“Absolutely. I have been
tempted many times to cheat on my husband by men I really liked. But
when you think of what you stand to lose, the destruction of all you
have labored to build, when you weigh all the options, you are left to
conclude that it is not worth the trouble. I know some women will find
this somewhat objectionable, but if they want to be truthful to
themselves, they will agree with me that, as married women, we have all
faced moments that I have just described.”
On receiving gifts from male admirers
“Sure, I have received lots of goodies from my male admirers,”
On if she has given anything back in return
“Nothing”, I do not give anything in return. I always tell them that I am married and would not compromise my martial vows. If after making that point clear, they still continue to shower me with gifts, maybe believing that something will break in the future, then I cannot help them.”
Do you feel emotionally detached as a result of many years of
marriage or, put differently, has your passion for your husband cooled
with time?,
“Of course, it has”, she said matter-of-factly. “Which married woman who
has been with her husband for years will, in her true state, tell you
that the feeling has remained the same as it was the first time or the
first year she met her husband? It is bound to cool off. What I
recommend to women is what I call “temporary separation.”
You will make yourself unavailable to your husband. Go somewhere – go
on vacation with your friends, do something bold, lose weight, look
different and, after weeks, come home, looking drop dead gorgeous, and I
bet you, the fire of passion will be mightily rekindled and you will
feel brand new again. I have applied this principle in my marriage and
it has worked wonders.”Misspetitenigeria
