All d ladies are right. The wise thg is to give it to his wife. He and his children will be more comfortable.Life will be better for him and his family. The wiser thg is to give it to his brother.That would be quite selfless of him.Friend, he shld give his brother a liftg in life. Even if his brother turns out an ingrate, it would still be d right thg to do. He shld wish selflessly for his brother to be on his own and have his own family.Cmon, his brother and wife would most probably get on each others nerves often. When a man is jobless he has little respect and even more when he is still squatg or dependg on others. But if a married woman is jobless , she doesn't lose any respect.She is seen as a full time house wife. Let him selflessly give his KID BROTHER a liftg up in life. While d arrangement to get moni from his brother from d job is not a bad idea, he should hope primarily dt havg done d right thg as a big brother , God will open doors of better opportuniy him and his wife. Whether or not his brother turned out an ingrate, giving his brother a liftg in life is d right thg to do. Finally , d kind of wife he has, he shld be wise in his decision to to tell or not tell his wife about it. If his wife is a good wife , if he ever discusses it with her, she would naturally advise him to give his kid brother a liftg in life. Good women, I must say are rare, so also are good men(if u know what I mean). P.S. Admitted, d pressure of raisg a family can be high, but life shld not always be about me , my wife, my children. I must quickly add dt I noticed dt most men here are sayg he shlg choose his brother only from d stand point of selfishness.That is still not d best. If his brother is smart and naturally has a good chance of gettg another job, he shld choose his wife. It is also v imp to think of who is more qualified so dt both of dm do not lose d job unless it is completely certain dt anyone he chooses will get d job. I also noted dt many women here(many not all) are sayg he shld choose his wife from d stand point of selfishness.It is not d best. |

Maonyz: Same thought I have been having. Wise people are fast becoming extinct. SMH! And some women will still end up with some men here I want to believe some of the posters here are in the same situation as the kid brother hence their comments. Maybe when they get married, they will be wiser. 3 Likes |

can this thread have a poll. The brother is the wisest decision. Two made men is always the best option because the woman/women can rely on them but the other way round can cause troubles for the man. This is not about not loving your wife, it is just the wisest decision. 1 Like |
Re: My Brother Or My Wife, Who Should I Pick? by sucobaba(m): 9:05am On Jul 21, 2014 |
He should discuss the issue with his wife and calmly explain things to her...let her see reasons why the brother should be put forward...2years under their roof must have been suffocating to all parties,they have been managing his 60k check for these long so him and his family will cope,the brother will become independent...move out and start his life.Who says a better offer can't suffice?who says the husband's brother can't even be the one to be used for that? Yes,nobody will feel comfortable and happy in such situation but the message passed will be very important and rewarding in the long run. The husband's brother should be made to understand that the decision was not his alone but a joint decision between husband and wife...am sure he will ever be indebted and if any opening should come up in his new place.....we all know who will be put forward. NB Here i am assuming the husband's brother has come of age to be independent and start a family....been responsible also a plus |

CoCoLav: no you shouldn't. I believe in true love right from when I was little. watching how my parents do their thing, my father can never take any decision without the consent of my mum. love and respect should be reciprocal in our relationship but unfortunately men of these days want love and respect from their wife but don't do the same to them. women are suppose to be treated like treasures their satisfaction should come first even before ours. I love and cherise my woman and I'll put my family first in any decision am taking in life. thanks for the reply cocolav 3 Likes |

sammieguze: Putting in mind the kinda attitude we human beings have, i will suggest he nominate his brother due to the following. have you tried to see the way siblings treat their elder ones after helping them get on their feet? must you marry if you dont love and trust your wife? are u not considering your kids?, whether she changes or not, she must take care of her kids which is a plus for you. if your bro agree to the setting ur wife up. he may change his mind after a few months saying he has a family to cater for. this brother will and cannot do same for you. abeg, lets all open our eyes and hearts and stop being sentimental. i am not saying this cos i am a lady but cos of the kids. most women are working these days and they still take care of their kids so don't come with that now. try take a poll of people who have sacrificed for their siblings and what they got in return. Rockmyworld, just like your name you will def rock your wife's world. you are rare among men. 2 Likes |
Re: My Brother Or My Wife, Who Should I Pick? by hohafrank(m): 12:59pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
Of course I will choose my wife.The two options are like choosing myself and my brother.Myself and my wife are chasing towards the same goal, that is building an enviable family.To be candid, as soon as my brother gets the job and marries,bye bye to the bond that exists between us.His priority now is given to his family.So why should a reasonably man choose his brother in place of his wife.........the better half of him? I am talking of ideal situation. 4 Likes |
Re: My Brother Or My Wife, Who Should I Pick? by Rockmyworld(m): 1:06pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
dhabeautyjas: thanks so much dhabeautyjas. I notice from most comments here that men see themselves as two not as one anymore because what I noticed today is that men just go out pick a woman marry her to have kids for him nothing more. No trust exist anymore between couples again, how will you imagine that your wife will change character and leave you when she's working and earning high? it shows you don't really know who you got married to. everything happening now is because people marry without true love hence no trust. I know a lot of ladies have actually spoil the image of good women. but that doesn't mean every lady shouldn't be trusted. lets just try hard and look for our true love. though have find mine nearly six years ago now. *winks* 2 Likes |

Re: My Brother Or My Wife, Who Should I Pick? by dhabeautyjas(f): 4:27pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
Rockmyworld: yeah, i found mine too 5 years ago. most brothers will even tell you their family first by the time they are settled. and people seem not to understand the difference between family and relations. when single, your siblings and parent are your immediate family but once married, husband/wife and kids are your immediate family while your siblings become secondary making them relations. 1 Like |

dhabeautyjas: you're right. but that doesn't change the fact that we won't help our siblings or relations. what the op need to tell his friend is that the final decision should come from the wife. at least give her that respect and sense of openness. thanks dhabeautyjas appreciate 1 Like |

Ok let's put it this way if your father has 10 million to give to either your mother or your uncle for business who should he give it to. Remember your mother is his wife and his brother is his blood. 1 Like |

[quote author=domwas2] Out of question dat is already made cash not labouring for cash[/quote What I am asking is whom do you expect your father to value more, your uncles who are after all his blood or your mother who is a woman. Marriages still break up after 25 years. |
