A Nigerian landlord has shared a surprising personal story on social media, revealing that he ended up marrying his female tenant after his wife repeatedly locked him out of their home for late returns. The revelation has ignited a fresh debate on X (formerly Twitter) regarding marital rights and responsibilities.
The man, identified by his X handle @tort_walec, recounted the recurrent pattern of being denied entry to his home by his wife. He stated that this had occurred over 20 times. However, a particular night in 2017 proved to be the pivotal moment that reshaped his life.
“In 2017, my wife locked me outside, but our beautiful, kind-hearted female tenant opened her door for me. In short, she’s not a tenant anymore. We now have three children,” he wrote in his now-viral post.
He elaborated that this final incident served as the breaking point, leading him to ultimately dissolve his previous marriage. His story quickly gained traction online, coinciding with a trending discussion on the platform about a wife’s perceived right to deny her husband entry for late arrivals. The landlord’s marital journey has since become a focal point in the ongoing conversation about boundaries and communication within relationships.
