Comments flooded in, questioning why he had never expressed his love to his wife before now. One user, ammie_cole, remarked, “You’re married and you’ve never told your wife you love her until now? People dey suffer sha.”
Others pointed out the nuances in his statement. swankysimii noted,
He told his wife ‘How much he loves her’; it’s different from casually saying I LOVE YOU. Some of you should try comprehending before dropping a comment.” leediahhh added, “English is not hard na, He said ‘how much I love her’,” emphasizing that there may be more to the situation than it seems.

Loving a person but not in the way they want to be loved can make them feel unloved.”
Meanwhile, basedonjoanna criticized the public nature of his confession, saying, “Men steadily publicly deliberately embarrassing their understanding women just to soothe their ego. Who needed to know this information now?”
A debate ensued about verbal affirmations versus actions. vibesfm973 asked,
Would you rather be told ‘I Love you’ or be shown you are loved?” while esl0la reinforced the confusion over Chizzy’s approach, saying, “He has never told her ‘how much’ he loves her. Why is comprehension so far from v’all??”
Other users expressed disbelief that Chizzy could propose without verbally affirming his love. sinmisoluwa commented,
You never told her you loved her and she agreed to marry you? How did you even propose without saying I love you?” thefoodnetworknig2 echoed this sentiment, saying, “As in I wee marry you without words of affirmation? When it’s not that I’m not loved at home! God forbid abeg.”
