Nollywood actress Anita Joseph has stirred up an online conversation with a playful yet pointed question about the emotional load many women carry in marriage.
Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a viral claim that’s gotten many talking: “Study reveals that husbands stress women twice as much as children do.”
She then cheekily added, “Is this true? Asking for my husband.”
The lighthearted caption was accompanied by laughing emojis, but the post quickly sparked serious reactions in the comments, with many women sharing personal experiences and perspectives on the emotional dynamics within marriage.
Anita, who has been married to celebrity hype man and MC, Fisayo “MC Fish” Olagunju since 2020, is known for her outspoken and often humorous takes on relationships and womanhood.
Her latest post may have been in jest, but it also touches on a broader topic that resonates with many — the mental and emotional load often shouldered by women in partnerships.
The post joins a growing trend on social media where women are opening up about the hidden pressures of marriage — from managing households to meeting emotional expectations — and how these can sometimes outweigh the challenges of parenting itself.
While Anita hasn’t elaborated further, her “asking for my husband” remark suggests it’s all in good fun — or perhaps a playful nudge at marital self-awareness.
Whether meant as a joke or gentle truth, Anita’s post once again shows how humor can be a powerful way to spark real conversations.
