A married lawyer has sparked massive reactions on social media after listing everything she does for her husband every day.
The lawyer, identified simply as Princess Jemaimah, revealed in a Facebook post on Wednesday that she washes her husband’s clothes every day, prepares fresh food for him every day, and even holds the bowl for him to wash his hands.
According to her, she is happy to do these things for her husband as she considers it an honor to love and care for him.
“I AM A LAWYER! I Wash My Husband’s Clothes (Daily)! I Make Him Fresh Food (Daily)! I Serve Him His Food & Hold The Bowl For Him To Wash His Hands. I Clean The House (Daily)! I Banng Him (Daily) E T C!
“It Doesn’t Reduce Me In Anyway. It’s Actually An Honour To Love & Care For Someone So Selflessly. Most Times, We Do This Chores Together. I Will Say He Runs More Errands For Me Than I Do For Him Sef. Brethren, A Happy Marriage Is A Place Of Unconditional Love, Forgiveness & Selfless Service.” She wrote.
Her post quickly went viral, drawing mixed reactions from social media users. While some saw her actions as a sign of love and devotion, others blamed her and accused her of reinforcing patriarchal norms.
