Nollywood actor Daniel Etim-Effiong candidly shares the rocky start of his marriage to Toyosi.
In a recent interview, he talked about the challenges he encountered while dealing with his wife’s strong personality, which made him feel unsure of his role as a husband.
“I’m not used to people having a say… Being with a wife that was so assertive was chaotic for me. I felt I was losing my grip on the marriage. I felt I wasn’t being a man or a husband, and it messed with my mind,” he said.
Etim-Effiong admitted that his connections with several women and the absence of clear boundaries led to conflicts in his marriage.
He shared that he faced challenges with inappropriate calls and relationships early in his marriage, but establishing boundaries later helped him achieve clarity and stability.
“Of course there were issues with women all around me and I didn’t know how to set boundaries at the time as well so I was just like all over the place.
“It was later I started to learn about boundaries that I actually need to draw the line and say it’s not okay that you can call me at funky hours of the night, she might be your friend but it’s not okay, you’re married now, things like that for example. So the issues went on and on, we’d quarrel,” he added.
