Nollywood veteran Stanley Okorie recently opened up about the reasons behind the breakdown of his first two marriages, shedding light on his own shortcomings as a husband.
During a conversation with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Okorie candidly admitted to his past insensitivity towards his spouses, which contributed to the end of his marriages. He acknowledged that he failed to prioritize emotional connection and presence in his relationships, focusing instead on providing financially.
Reflecting on his first marriage, Okorie revealed that he was often preoccupied with his music career, neglecting his wife's emotional needs and special occasions like birthdays. Despite his wife's lack of interest in material wealth, he failed to recognize the importance of being present and attentive in their relationship.
Okorie's lack of maturity and emotional intelligence became evident when his first wife expressed her unhappiness and eventually decided to leave. Instead of addressing the issues in their marriage, he found solace in music, using it as an escape from his problems.
Sadly, Okorie's marital challenges persisted, leading to a second divorce and the tragic loss of both his wife and son. He admitted that while music provided temporary relief from his grief, it also prevented him from confronting his emotional pain directly.
Ultimately, Okorie realized the importance of facing his problems head-on rather than seeking refuge in distractions like music. Despite the hardships he faced, he found solace in his current marriage, where he is more present, engaged, and emotionally available for his family.
