Yesterday on Atinka TV’s relationship program, Kisses and Roses, hosted by Jessie Adubea, while having an open conversation on “the effects of side chicks on marriages”, musician Ohemaa Tina, one of the guests on the program, said something that fascinated many.
According to her;
“Every man should understand that side chicks are like a hospital — you go there for treatment and return home. You don’t stay there. And sometimes, the wrong medication can destroy you.”
Kwame believed he was managing his life well.
A family man.
A respected man.
A man who thought he could balance everything — including a little “escape” on the side.
To him, it was simple: just a place he ran to when he felt overwhelmed.
Like visiting a hospital for quick relief.
But as Ohemaa Tina wisely said,
you don’t relocate to the hospital.
You don’t confuse temporary comfort for a permanent home.
Slowly, the escape became a trap.
The admiration became expectation.
And the “treatment” he thought he needed started coming with side effects he never planned for.
One wrong conversation…
One wrong influence…
One wrong “medication”…
And suddenly, the marriage he built with years of sacrifice began to shake.
He realized too late:
➡️ Side chicks don’t heal homes.
➡️ Distractions don’t fix real issues.
➡️ And not every place that feels soothing is safe.
Sometimes, the very place you run to for comfort is the same place that can destroy everything you value.
