Veteran Nollywood actress Shan George has reacted to the ongoing marital dispute between popular media personality and TV host, Frank Edoho and his estranged wife, Sandra Edoho.
The 56-year-old actress, who spoke on his Facebook page, denounces adultery while addressing allegations that marital quiet can exacerbate a crisis.
According to Shan George, a spouse’s silence during arguments does not excuse infidelity, noting that some people avoid conflict by being silent while processing their feelings; these times should be handled maturely rather than in revenge.
George pointed out that all relationships, marriage, the job, and parent-child relationships, involve harbouring resentment.
She cautioned against a tit-for-tat strategy while problems are still unresolved, adding that how spouses handle those situations determines whether the marriage survives or fails.

The actress stressed that as long as a couple continues to live together as husband and wife, cheating is not acceptable. Regardless of any current problems between the pair, she claimed that any man who chases another man’s wife commits a grave wrong.
Instead of having extramarital affairs, she recommended women who were unhappy in their marriages to leave after making sincere attempts.
George likened Edoho’s purported quiet to that of rapper Mr Eazi, who reportedly decided to email his wife about a disagreement rather than talk to her face-to-face.
He could have addressed it in person, but he chose to send an email instead, she pointed out.
“Any man who’s joy stick rises for another man’s WIFE, has committed an unacceptable sacrilege, even if she and her man r keeping malice, or any other issues whatsoever between them, as long as the woman and her husband still reside under the same roof, it’s a No No.
“People keep malice with each other everywhere, marriage, office, etc, even parents keep malice with their children sometimes. Malice is a part of life; we’re all guilty of it one time or another.
“I remember not too long ago when music star Mr Easy sent his wife an email, and she complained about how he’s kept her malaise over the issue for days, only to send her an email discussing the same issue. He could have talked to her directly to talk about it, but he sent an email.
“Not everyone enjoys rancour or confrontations, so some people simply keep quiet for some time, while they process. One’s Approach towards such periods is what determines a win or a loss in that marriage. Any form of ‘Do me I do u’ must be avoided at such times, until u resolve the issues.
“Traditionally, spiritually, Morally, Romantically, and otherwise, sleeping with another man’s wife is a TUFIAKWA that carries generational curses.
“Mothers, pls tell ur sons. As for the ladies, pls if the marriage Taya u, after u don try all ur best, pls leave the marriage, doing asiawo inside marriage is a sacrilege”, she wrote.
