Explaining in an Instagram post that she has
seen men leave their relationships of many
years and got married to women they only just
met, the award winning presenter encouraged
women not to blame themselves for not
receiving love as they should because
relationships work out only if they are meant
to be.
“It has nothing to do with you, stop blaming
yourself for not receiving the kind of love you
gave out, sometimes these things don’t work
because they just aren’t meant to be and
that’s ok. People don’t change for who they
want; people change when the time is right
and quite frankly growth happens when you let
it.”
The bestselling author of On Becoming who
was once married to her long time partner,
Maje Ayida, being experienced when it comes
to the issues of relationships has come to the
conclusion that love cannot be forced and a
woman shouldn’t beg to be loved.
“That “bastard” is someone’s future husband
and guess what? She’s not going to see that
side of him. Not excusing bad behavior but as
I grow and learn, I realize this thing called love
cannot be forced. Love yourself enough to
swallow that jagged little pill called truth and
walk away with your head high. You’ll meet
your own king and you won’t need to beg or
force him to treat you right. Ladies this one is
for you,” she wrote.
