A nurse took to social media to express her frustration after a husband vowed not to feed his wife following advice to avoid intimacy for a month due to stitches from childbirth.
In her post on X (formerly Twitter), the nurse shared an incident involving a patient who had recently undergone an episiotomy.
The woman was brought back to the hospital by her husband because her stitches had started to loosen.
As the husband brought her in, the nurse noted that he was ranting, blaming the hospital and the nurses for not stitching his wife properly.
While his anger initially made the nurse believe he was genuinely concerned for his wife's health, her perspective changed after a conversation with him.
She recounted,
"I'm so irritated. My patient had an episiotomy, and her stitches got loose, so she came back for suturing today."
"Her husband was screaming and insulting the nurses on duty, claiming we didn't do our job right, all while we tried to calm him down."
"After the procedure, he expressed his anger, saying we didn't understand how this situation would affect him. He declared he would sue us, stating, 'This is my wife, not my girlfriend.' At first, I thought he was genuinely worried about her health."
"However, when we told him he shouldn't have sex with her for a month, he shockingly replied, 'That means she no go chop now.' I almost died when he said that, and his mother was laughing like it was a joke. I was furious! He kept insisting he 'needs' her and that we had ruined his chance to relieve stress."
The husband blatantly implied that his wife's lack of intimacy would mean she wouldn't eat either.
As her post gained traction online, concerned individuals flooded the comments section to share their thoughts.

@MzTinzle: "When someone recently said that Marriage is glorified prostitution for women, people came for her head, well, here you have it."
@momentswtbreezy: "That stitch didn't come loose by itself. That man is HORRIBLE."
@lorlie_b: "He's being dishonest cos I'm of the opinion that the stitches got loosed cos he had sex with her. I have witnessed this same scenario, the only difference is that the husband opened up about having sex with the woman 7 days after delivery."
@dimma_olivia: "God!!! I don't think I can work in health care in this country o, I'd probably lose my license cause what???"
