I Can Remain In An Unhealthy Marriage Because Of My Kids – Toke Makinwa

Popular media personality and actress, Toke Makinwa has come out to say that if she had a kid with her ex husband, Ayida Maje, she would have stayed in her marriage.

She recently had her say on the most recent edition of her podcast, TokeMoments, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, a lot of women actually stay in unhealthy marriages for their children, and she could have been one of them if she was a mother when Ayida cheated.

Toke added that she had the trauma of losing both parents at the age of 8, so she does not want her kids to also go through any form of parental seperation.

Her words, “A lot of women stay in unhealthy marriages for their children. For the longest, you hear so many women say things like, ‘The marriage is done but I only stay for my kids.’

And I’m going to be honest here, if I had had a kid while I was married, I may have been one of those women. Because I also had the trauma of losing both parents at the age of 8. I mean, I was adopted. I have a great life which I’m thankful for but there were times that I wondered what life could have possibly been like if that hadn’t happened.

So, for the sake of my children, I may have had to compromise just because I wanted them to have mum and dad. I may have been one of these women. So, I’m not even judging anyone right here.”
