According to her one of the reasons why their marriage collapsed was due to distance which did not help in communication and understanding of oneself, adding that things would have worked out between them smoothly if they were closer to or staying together.
She also pointed out that the other reason also has to do with Family interference, her ex was the last born in his family and that some of his family members were not okay with some of the roles she played in movies.
Ini Edo said;
“No matter the indifference or incompatibility, if you’re together in love, a lot of things can actually work out.
“However, you don’t get to work things out when there is no contact. When you are with someone, and you can’t agree on certain things or find a common ground, I think being together could have actually helped us to understand each other better.
“Most of the time, we attract the wrong people, sometimes for the wrong reasons. Because when people come to you because of what they see on TV, it’s hard for them to accept you considering the fact that you are just acting because that is your job.
“When they find out that it’s not the real you, it becomes a problem. Marriage is an experience which I don’t regret. My ex-husband met me as an actress. My job takes my time because naturally there are certain roles you are not allowed to play once you are married.
“Even if your husband understands, his relatives might not understand. My ex-husband is the last child, so family interference in the marriage was normal.
“Marriage has taught me a lot of lessons, it made me wiser and stronger. I think it actually made me more mature. I don’t think I married too early, maybe I was a little bit in a hurry.”
