Newly married Nigerian Saxophonist, Yemi Sax
recalled what he went through in his last
relationship. In a chat with a soft sell reporter, Yemi
explained how the lady he took care of left him after
8 years. Catch the excerpt below:
Before you married your wife, I am sure a
woman would have broken your heart; can you
tell me about the experience?
Of course I have had a long relationship of like eight
years that didn’t even work out. You know after
eight years I was heartbroken. A woman I gave my
all to decided to mess the privilege and brought my
heart to great sorrow. It is not about being a star
really, my wife that I married right now had sworn
with her life that she world never marry an
entertainer but man proposes and God disposes,
even she knew that it is by the grace of God that it
all happened. Our ways at times are not His ways. It
is what God wants because she is a Corporate
person, she is in the corporate world. So, she doesn’t
even have the time to go out and start dating an
entertainer but God called me her husband and she
my wife. I give all thanks to God for His
benevolence.
The woman that broke your heart after eight
years, don’t you think she must have felt that
she is more educated than you and maybe saw
you as a seep in her life?
I think at first, everything was rosy but you know
you can’t pretend for long. She was just there
pretending I think it was because of the things she
was gaining from me and you know you can’t
pretend for long because character is like a flame it
will always come out eventually. So, it got to a time
that her real personality manifested and that was
when the relationship came to an end.
So, you didn’t think it was as a result of
personality and educational difference?
Nooo, not at all; she is even somebody I brought up.
She is somebody I brushed up, I sent her to school.
So, it is not about being more educated than me or
not, you understand what I mean. I did everything
to make her a success but she chose otherwise.
So, what did that episode teach you about life?
I think it is a great lesson; I will advise people not to
expect too much from a fellow human. That is the
way you can live long, that is the way you can
enjoy life; expect the worst from others. So, that is
my advice to people. It is my guiding philosophy as
well. I don’t think it is a good thing to put your trust
in people. Instead, put your trust in God who never
disappoints.

I've even gone so far as to verbalize it specifically, time is too precious to waste on trivial arguments and negativities. I'd rather get on to the more fun and rewarding stuff right away!
