“I won’t be cajoled into ACCEPTING polygamy” -May Edochie tells husband Yul Edochie
Days after actor Yul Edochie publicly apologized to his first wife, May, for marrying his colleague Judy Austin, she has responded.
On Sunday, in an Instagram post, the actor declared himself an unapologetic polygamist. He noted that polygamy is his destiny.
Yul, 40, said he didn’t go the polygamy route to disrespect her, nor did he do it to replace her.
In the post, he acknowledged that he hurt her deeply, and taking the blame for the actions.
May’s response
Responding to his post on Friday, May said that she believes that mistakes are a significant part of human existence but that it is our response to these errors that count.
Drawing a line between forgiveness and righting a wrong, she noted that forgiveness is the highest, most beautiful form of love for her.
“There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love. Hence, my ability to forgive the mistakes of the past, present, and future concerning the issue on the ground is in the interest of my mental health and inner peace.
“I decided to stick to love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. I am still very much incapable of could anyone, let alone the father of my children,” she notes.
“To reaffirm my stand, I will not be cajoled into accepting polygamy, which goes against my beliefs, faith, and values.”
“I will not be numbered in a home that we started building with love, faith, tears, hopes, and prayers in a Catholic marriage of 18 years following a long-term premarital relationship,” she wrote.
May Edochie also appealed passionately to the actor to end the constant “show” on social media where their kids are growing unless it is essential.
“Let’s prevent our lovely children from all the ongoing drama series that might take a toll on them directly or indirectly amongst their peers.
“May GOD, in His infinite mercy and compassion, guide us all in the right direction,” she added.
