Simi Drey Opens Up About a Past Relationship That Almost Led to Marriage
In a recent episode of the popular podcast WithChude, British-Nigerian actress and presenter Simi Drey shared a personal account of a past relationship that was on the brink of marriage.
According to Drey, she and her ex-fiancé had planned to tie the knot after getting engaged, but things took a turn when she realized she wasn’t fulfilled or happy in the relationship.
In the podcast, Drey explained that she struggled to reconcile her feelings with the societal pressure to get married, particularly as a woman. She recalled her friends and even her mother questioning her about her marital status, which added to her apprehension.
Despite her concerns, Drey initially kept her doubts to herself, even telling her mother everything was fine when she learned about the engagement. However, she eventually confided in her father and made the difficult decision to cancel the wedding.
Two months after calling off the engagement, Drey had a realization that being single and happy was more important to her than being married and unhappy. She emphasized that respect and equality in a relationship were non-negotiable for her, and that she wouldn’t settle for anything less.
Drey’s account highlights the importance of being true to oneself and making choices that align with one’s values and happiness, rather than conforming to societal expectations.
