One of my three side women was an NSS employee in my office, the man explains.
Unidentified as Akwasi, a young man from Dansoman shared his tale of having three extra-marital affairs despite been married.
Approximately two years after their wedding, he and his wife began experiencing difficult times. This, he explained, extinguished the romance in the marriage and prompted him to seek elsewhere.
"Two years after my marriage, we started having small fights; these small fights are what kill the spark in a marriage; you move from pet names to their usual names and first names."
"These small fights kill the spark in a marriage, and men will get into their cars, pull out their phones, and begin scrolling for someone to talk to," he explained.
Akwasi stated that he met this national service woman with whom he had a strong connection at his place of employment, amidst the turmoil and discord in his marital home.
He also stated that, despite his infidelity, his affection for his wife and children remains intact, but he found peace and comfort whenever he was with the side chick.
"I've had approximately three side chicks, one of whom was a coworker, a national service girl from the University of Ghana who came to work at our office; we had so many things in common and we really hit it off."
"It did not begin as a romantic relationship, but rather as a friendship," Akwasi explained. "What are you doing this weekend? Do you want to step out?"
According to him, the fact that these side chicks are more patient and understanding than his wife is a tension reliever.
"And these girls understand, you can be on a video call with your wife and they'll be so cool, and they won't be bitchy about it afterwards, oh no, they'll make you feel at ease, and in a way, I'd say it actually reduces stress," he said.
Akwasi advised women to be calmer and more tolerant with their spouses, stating that this promotes domestic tranquility and encourages men to confide in their wives rather than seeking solace from other women outside the home.
