Jim Iyke recounts why his marriage fell apart

According to him, it was due to delayed grief.

Jim Iyke who spoke during the TeaTalk podcast, revealed that losing his mother affected him in his marriage because they were quite close.

The divorced thespian also disclosed that he tried to hold back the pain he felt at the time because of the African culture of men holding back their pain and being seen as a weakling if they let it out. He added that he ended up fighting for the wrong things because he didn’t grieve properly.

He also said that while his ex-wife tried so much to help him, she expected him to reciprocate same love but he wasn’t forthcoming. Jim also revealed that he will get married again and enjoy being married. He also disclosed that while his marriage has ended, he has understood who he is now, wiser and far more successful now.

The actor hinted that anybody coming into his life now must come correct as it would be on his own terms.
