Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede continues to open up about her crashed marriage to Olakunle ‘Abounce’ Fawole and how his habit of keeping malice for weeks was the deal breaker.
In a recent episode on The Honest Bunch podcast, the mother of one shed light on the circumstances that caused the crash of her marriage.
According to Yvonne, her husband has a speciality for keeping to himself whenever they disagree on issues; this could go on for weeks.
She cited an example when she was pregnant with their child and her husband kept malice for three weeks, frustrating her enough to pack her bags and leave for her parent’s house. Even at that, he never checked up on her well-being while she was away.
“Most times when we had issues, I don’t know how to keep malice or walk out, come back and not talk to you. But he had A1 in malice and that was what ended the marriage. We kept malice for three weeks and I was pregnant in the same house and I packed my bags for my father’s house.
“Despite being pregnant, he won’t even call me till midnight to know where I took his pregnancy to,” she said partly.

Yvonne Jegede continued to explain that her husband's refusal to communicate and his tendency to hold grudges created an unbearable environment. She expressed how difficult it was to live under the same roof with someone who would ignore her for extended periods, especially during a time when she needed support the most, like during her pregnancy.
This pattern of behavior, Yvonne noted, was one of the primary reasons she decided to leave the marriage. She emphasized that effective communication is crucial in any relationship, and the lack of it can lead to significant misunderstandings and emotional distress. Her decision to leave, she revealed, was to protect her peace and well-being.
She also reflected on the importance of addressing issues directly and not letting them fester, as unresolved conflicts can escalate and lead to more significant problems in a marriage. Yvonne's story serves as a reminder of the importance of mutual respect, understanding, and communication in maintaining a healthy relationship.
