According to her, the experience got so overwhelming that she had to seek therapy to help her transition out of the character.

“I had to do therapy after Wura because it was bad. I went back to my YouTube jobs and I’m supposed to play the victim, and somebody is talking to me and I’m looking at the person like, ‘Do you know who I am?

I can just kill you now, nobody will find your body.’ My brain was bad. I knew I needed therapy,” sheadded.

According to Tems, the experience conflicted with her personal beliefs about love and relationships, as she emphasized that a healthy relationship should be built on partnership rather than control or ownership.

She also noted that toxic relationships can be particularly draining, adding that in many cases, the person exhibiting toxic behaviour may not even be aware of it.

Her words …

“I have experienced love where I thought it was love but it was more like when someone is trying to own you. They think that they own you. And that’s not love.

“Love is not obsession. And it is not possession. I can’t own another human being. Love is when both of you become one person.

“We don’t own each other, we are each other. I feel everyone has experienced toxic love with someone who doesn’t even know that they are toxic.

“They say they love you but they don’t know that they don’t even love you. Because you can’t love someone you feel you own..”

I want a God-fearing man as husband – Tems

According to Tems, relationships, especially marriage, are bound to experience challenges, and individuals must be prepared for moments that may not always be pleasant.

She noted that because of the unpredictable nature of marriage, she values the importance of choosing a God-fearing partner. In her view, such a partner is more likely to be accountable and committed to making the relationship work.

“My partner has to be a God-fearing man. Because why would you truly love me if you don’t have anyone that you answer to? If you’re not accountable to anyone, how could you choose to love and keep loving me for the rest of our lives?

 

“If you’re the god of your life, why would you love me forever? You could just discard me anytime you want. But marriage is something that makes you better as a human being. It should. It shouldn’t be about only love, it’s about compatibility. It’s about whether a relationship makes you a better person, like it evolves you. Because marriage is a whole another level, it’s supposed to bring out the hard times,” she stated.
