Popular Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna, has shared his thoughts about a big issue that many people don’t talk about in modern marriages.
He made this known through a post on his Instagram story. IK said that many relationships today suffer because couples quietly fight over who is in control and who they really are in the relationship.
According to him, this silent struggle doesn’t always start with arguments. In fact, it usually begins with love and admiration. For example, a man might love how strong and independent a woman is. The woman might like how confident the man is. But as time goes on, problems can start to grow quietly.
He explained that over time, things begin to change without the couple even noticing. The man’s ego and the woman’s independence may start to clash. Also, cultural beliefs and personal goals can start to cause problems.

“One of the most untalked about issues in modern marriages, especially between African men and strong women, is the silent battle for identity and control. It doesn’t always start as a fight. It usually starts with admiration. But along the way… ego meets ego. Pride meets independence. Culture meets ambition.”
This message has got many fans thinking, as it touches on what many couples are going through but hardly speak about.
