Social Media Blame Game Ruining Marriages, AY Warns

Comedian, Ayodeji Richard Makun, known as AY, says the habit of taking sides on social media is making it harder for broken marriages to heal.

The filmmaker said people on digital platforms now treat real-life relationship problems like a movie with heroes and villains. He noted that this trend makes it difficult for couples to solve their issues privately.

Writing on his social media X (formerly Twitter) handle, AY said that people now rush to judge couples without trying to find out what really caused the fight.

According to him, both emotional neglect and betrayal hurt deeply in a marriage. However, he warned that one partner’s mistake should not be used as an excuse to hurt the other back or pass total blame.

He said many modern relationships would last longer if both partners stopped looking for public sympathy and learned to accept their own mistakes together.

“We have normalised choosing sides so much that we no longer ask what truly went wrong,” the comedian wrote.

“Emotional neglect is painful. Betrayal is painful, too. One hurt should not automatically become justification for another. Maybe relationships would survive more if accountability was shared instead of outsourced,” AY added.
