Mabel Makun, the wife of Nigerian comedian, Ayodeji Richard Makun, popularly known as AY, responded on Monday to his revelation that they are currently having a crisis in their marriage.
In a post shared on her official Instagram account on Monday, the wife of the comedian noted that distance is her new approach to handling disrespect.
In the video clip she shared on her Instagram page shortly after her husband’s revelation of the crisis in their home, Mabel noted that she simply removes herself rather than argue or become dramatic in response to disrespect.
Her post reads, “Distance is my new response to disrespect. I don’t react. I don’t argue, I don’t dive into the drama. I simply remove myself.”
News About Nigeria reports that the couple got married in November 2008 and they have two children together.
However, in a post on his official Instagram account, AY recently acknowledged his shortcomings, expressing concern that their twenty-year friendship and marriage was slipping away.
AY’s post partly reads, “The personality and ability that I possess simply confirm that i have reached that stage in my life where I can not be entertaining the public with deep personal family issues. They just might be too much to handle concerning the individuals involved. Not even when I have a grown-up daughter who has access to social media. Her mental health needs to be protected from seeing things she can not be proud of online.
“Yes! Without compromising my family, I have found myself doing some things that I am not proud of today. It is one thing to watch my friendship/marriage of 20 years slip off my hands, but it’s another thing for the parties involved to understand how to appropriate the blame in a space that is designed for most women to always play the victims and win. I can tell you for free that no one is completely innocent enough to cast stones. Presently, I am loving the way that lies about me in all these blogs are travelling faster than the truth. But my painful truth will eventually beat away all the lies.”
