“Being With an Assertive Wife Was Chaotic & Problematic for Me” – Actor Etim-Effiong Spills

Nigerian actor Daniel Etim-Effiong’s marriage to his spouse, Toyosi, has once again captured public attention following his remarks during a recent interview.

In a widely circulated video, the film star elaborated on the challenges he faced in adapting to the assertive nature of his wife, Toyosi.

Etim-Effiong expressed that he was unaccustomed to individuals voicing their opinions, and the assertiveness of his wife left him feeling as though he was losing control of the marriage and failing to fulfill his role as a man.

The attractive actor further acknowledged that the presence of numerous women in his life, coupled with his inability to establish clear boundaries at that time, contributed to conflicts with his wife.

In his words: “I’m not used to people having a say, sitting with the family to decide things, I never got to be that assertive, so being with a wife that was so assertive was chaotic for me, it was problematic and I felt I was losing my grip on the marriage, I felt I wasn’t being a man, I felt I wasn’t being a husband so it was just messing with my mind. Of course there were issues with women all around me and I didn’t know how to set boundaries at the time as well so I was just like all over the place. It was later I started to learn about boundaries that I actually need to draw the line and say it’s not okay that you can call me at funky hours of the night, she might be your friend but it’s not okay, you’re married now, things like that for example. So the issues went on and on, we’d quarrel.”
