A newlywed wife has taken to social media to share her struggles with marriage, particularly lamenting the pressures of excessive intimacy.
Her candid remarks, shared in a currently trending post on X (formerly Twitter), have sparked a heated discussion among users.
In her post, the woman detailed her experiences since tying the knot, noting that her husband frequently seeks intimacy and reacts negatively when she declines his advances.
She expressed her frustrations, saying, “Since I got married, my body hasn’t had any rest. When you say no, they frown and won’t talk to you all day. But the day you say yes, you’ll suddenly become the sweetest mango on the tree.”
She continued, “Marriage is sweet, but this constant desire for intimacy is one of the hardest parts. Whether you’re well or not, in the mood or not, as long as ‘boss’ is in the mood, you’ll have to please him.” The sentiment resonated with many, as she reflected on the immense pressures she feels in her new role.
