I Married My Wife Out Of Pity – Joseph Benjamin
out of wedlock.
From the interview, the actor apparently didn’t love his wife. He allegedly married her out of pity. Interview excerpt below.
What Really Happened in his Marriage?: “I was married for 8 years. It
was a rather odd situation at that time. She got pregnant and I didn’t
want to have a child out of wedlock and so I married her so we could
build a home together for the unborn child. Things weren’t rosy then,
but I believed it was the right thing to do for the sake of the child. I
overlooked my own personal desires, I just wanted to do right. Our
second child came and I stood by my family like I always have; but no
one is perfect, we had our issues – the crisis persisted but we stayed
because of the kids. But you never make that kind of decision because if
the parents are not happy together then the children suffer.”
Is Your Wife Older Than You?: ”She is not older than me, and she
wasn’t taking care of my financial needs as people have insinuated. We
were both starting off in life on the same grounds – no one was
exploited.” “I’ve been separated for a year now but we still keep a good
relationship, and our separation was a mutual agreement. She is a good
woman but I could not go on with the union anymore seeing the foundation
it was built on was untrue. I have two wonderful children – a ten year
old daughter and a seven year old son. They are an integral part of my
life; their mum and I have a very good arrangement on how to balance
their lives and make sure that psychologically they are stable and
unaffected by our separation.”
