African women and problems in marriage



When I was a young girl I had the notion that all men were responsible. But as an adult the reverse is true most especially in Africa particularly in my country. In my country most responsibilities are being held by women. Concerning the education of the children, the welfare of the home is the woman's responsibility. What I realised nowadays is most of the men base their mind on drinking, funication,adultery etc which are the watch words in their vocabulary (lives). In my country those women  who are opportune to have something doing eg jobs, business carry on with the house choirs, farming etc while the man is at the onlicense drinking to stupor or at the house of his mistress. There after you find them standing by the quoz gambling and expecting to win millions of francs all to no avail. What pains the most is the fact that when the woman tries to speaks she is being beaten up or she's abandoned in the house to the mistress. Any suggestion made by the woman is considered null and void. They want things done their way. The men become so aggressive when what they have has been exusted. With this kind of  attitude the kids aren't free in their hands too because they blame the children for their frustration. With all this, if a  child happens to become frustrated he/she automatically becomes the mother's while the good one becomes the fathers. With this some women go into distress, some have high blood pressure and diabities which lead them to their early grave.
