Ugandan socialite and businesswoman Zari Hassan has stirred up a storm online after sharing some rather unconventional advice to women about how to keep their marriages exciting.
In a video shared on social media, Zari suggested that women should consider having “side men” if they want to remain happy and occupied in their relationships, arguing that men have long been known to keep side partners while still maintaining their marriages.
According to Zari, women should also learn to be “creative” instead of putting all their emotional and relationship pressure on their husbands.
Zari questioned why women should be expected to remain completely focused on one man when some men allegedly maintain relationships outside their marriages.
She argued that having another person to talk to could help women stay occupied and avoid placing unnecessary pressure on their husbands.
Her remarks have already triggered debate among social media users, with some agreeing with her call for women to be independent and others questioning whether her advice promotes cheating rather than solving relationship problems.
Taking the conversation even further, Zari claimed that she has a second phone that she uses to communicate with other men when her partner is not around.
She explained that her partner’s busy lifestyle, particularly his work as a DJ, gives her time and space to keep herself occupied.
Zari appeared to present the arrangement humorously, suggesting that women should find ways to keep themselves busy instead of constantly bringing relationship frustrations to their husbands.
According to Zari, women need to become more creative in their relationships and avoid depending entirely on their partners for emotional attention and entertainment.
She suggested that when women have other things — or people — keeping them occupied, they may feel happier and experience less relationship-related stress.
Her comments have now sparked a heated online conversation about marriage, fidelity, double standards and whether the rules applied to men should also apply to women.
While some followers interpreted her remarks as a joke or provocative relationship advice, others have taken issue with the idea of introducing third parties into marriages.
