I almost got married, but I’m happy it didn’t work out – 46-year-old Rita Dominic reveals

During the television interview on Friday, November 9, the actress shared her opinion on the evolution of the Nigerian movie industry. She revealed that she is glad that there younger actors and actresses who help the industry evolve.

The 46-year-old actress also noted that as an actress she makes it a priority to continue to educate herself about the industry.

Talking about marriage and societal pressure on marriage, the actress noted that she would get married to the man of her dreams one day. She added that she would not do so because society wants her to but because she wants to.

Dominic said: “At the end of the day, if I’m going to do it, i’m doing it for myself not that the society wants me to do it. I always will still say; I will marry the man of my dreams and not the man the society dreams for me.

Society feels there’s something wrong with you if you’re a certain age and you’re not married. What if it’s the society something is wrong with? For forcing someone to do what they don’t want to do?”

The actress further revealed that she almost married someone a longtime ago but it did not work out. She added that she is happy the relationship did not work due to the fact that she had noticed some red flags she refused to see when she was in the relationship.

She said: “I almost married someone. We were there. We were at that point. It didn’t work out and I’m happy it didn’t work out because I saw the signs.

You know how you see the signs and you just ignore it hoping the person will change. Look, a grown man and a grown woman cannot change. They can find a way to live with each other and respect each other’s feelings, but to change a grown person is difficult.”
