Foluke Daramola Salako recently opened up on red flags in relationships.
The wife of politician, Kayode Salako in an interview with TVC Your View revealed that she lost her virginity through rape.
As such, she developed hatred for sex and saw it as a punishment, but her first husband didn’t bother about her plight and wanted it every day.
To her, she saw it as beatings and was always scared of going home.
“I lost my virginity thru rape, so sex to me was punishment and the person I got married to wanted it every time. It felt like he was beating me”.
She added that before she married him, she saw the red flags but ignored them.
Foluke stated that her partner was rushing her into marriage and since she wanted to get married because of peer pressure, she jumped into it.
She disclosed that she got a broken sim on her wedding night as her husband asked her to cut her sim.
“When I wanted to enter my first marriage, the sign was there even though my partner was rushing me into marriage and I was like my friends were getting married. All the signs were there. Anger issues.
My first experience was on my wedding night. I got a broken sim cause I had to change to a new sim.
I saw the signs of abuse and anger but I overlooked them.
I had to stay there because of what proof would say”.
