I think you should answer those questions yourself. You already know the answers. Marriage isnt compulsory. I never said so.
From your definition,it means i'm selfish.

You can not be in marriage and satisfy yourself alone. Marriage is two people coming together to become one. By being one, they share almost everything joy, sadness, grow together etc. But because it is not a perfect system, crises can arise like in the case of the poster. There is no smoke without fire, there is certainly a trigger to the wife's behaviour. As meaningless or serious the trigger may be, if it can be found out, the solution to the problem is not far-fetched. But if the individual in question is being impossible as in OP's case, you can ignore her completely (withdraw attention etc) for a while as a temporary solution only.
For your own good, leave Sophyrocks alone cos if she prepares for you? ........................

Not necessarily. It depends on the reason why you dnt want to get married. Are the reasons selfish or genuine? If you can show kindness and compassion towards others, what stops you from doing the same towards your wife and children?

You guys tend to believe everybody has the same capacity as yours.
One of the things i hate most in my life is unnecessary stress in relationship,that idea of always working to make things work in the relationship,in the words of some women "spicing up a relationship"just to please your partner even if you are displeasing yourself.Even in pains or hard times,most women dnt even care to know what you are going through,all they want is for you to satisfy their every needs and if you can't give to them what they want,that's a problem.Who get that kind strenght?
Mehn,some men dey try o,I swear.
As for me,i can never displease my self just to pls my partner.Na divorce sure pass

@DCMG,

Okay I understand where you are coming from. May be had a bad experience but there are a lot of wonderful women out there. Some will love you so much that they can even give you all they have, they find it difficult to demand from you because they care about you first. I only pray such women come your way so that whatever bad experience you had before will be a thing of the past.

You see. With this mindset of yours, you shouldnt get married. Honestly. The truth about marriage is that SOMETIMES you have to displease yourself to please your spouse. But It would be veeeeeerrrrry wrong to do that at ALL TIMES because it would appear you do way much more than your partner does to make it work.

Well, every mallam with his kettle.

The reason i MIGHT get married would be becos of having Children.
And yes,i can give tha same compasion to my children.
As a matter of fact,i love spending so much time with kids than with a woman.That's me
I could spend everything i have on my children and take them anywhere they wana go,but i can't say same for my woman partner.

Therefore, you would have to let a lady know your intentions just so that her expectations from you would be less. You would have to marry a woman who also see things the same way you do, who also wants kids but does not neccessarily need a man.

All women, independent or dependent want attention. it may not be 24/7 but at least the kind that increases the bond between both of you. It seems you are not into creating such a bond which is why you prefer having kids.

I av like a lot of problems to deal with,and a relationship with a woman isn't one for what ever reason it might be,i don't just feel it.I think there are a lot of things i would rather commit to than a relationship with a woman that is more worth the time.That might just be it.

Well I have a similar issue with my wife. She was miss perfect agreeing to everything I want when she was looking for marriage and after marriage, her real self started to manifest. First it was constant complain about my family for no reason, then she graduated to wanting to control my life and determine who I am to give money or not and where I can and cannot go. She complains about everything and never appreciating anything I do. I provide all the financial need of the house 100% yet she want me to take care of her parent and siblings(both married and single ones) like i am their father and every time I refuse to send them money it is quarrel. She also expect me to praise her for almost everything she does like I demand same praise for putting her under a roof, paying all the bills, feeding her and our child and making her as comfortable as possible.
She bitches about everything I do making me feel like i am a child that doesn't have a sense of making my own decision despite being very successful in my career and handling lots of real life responsibilities that she can never imagine doing.
After the birth of our child, she turned to something else which in turn made me to make up my mind that I will never have a second child. She has time to watch all her tv programs to make herself happy but as soon as I pick my remote to play a game despite working from morning to night while she sits at home, she complains and I have over time disregarded her complains and do what I want to do to make myself happy. I have just one life to live and being married to someone doesn't gives them a control over my life and if you don't want to stay married to me again, then get the fu.c.k out of my life and go take care of yourself. I almost divorced her sometime ago but just decided to calm down. I hope we do not separate because of my love for our child but if we have to, then so be it because I will not live a life of a prisoner because of a child.
let her get a job, there is dignity in labour, she cannot be your help meet at her present state.

ARES:



that is what happens when you marry a woman that is more into the wedding than into the man..... wedding is over marriage has started.....there is no need for pretense anymore......she has achieved her aim and thats all that matters...... I will take it a little bit further to prove something to you..... look are her DP, When was the last time u saw your self as her DP.... It is either ur child or some inspirational write up..... never the spouse. that is how you know women who are just there because society wants them to be there not because of the man the married

My dear, true talk. In all of this, I blame society. They put undue pressure on people who. Have no idea what marriage is about and the next tin u see them girls pretending to be the wife materials.

Sir,
Things are not always what they seem.
Frequently stop, look and listen and you might find the source.
Btw, have you examined yourself to see if you're the cause?
Divorce always looks sweet in the beginning-a quick and easy way out of the hole you're in.
It never ends well-or have you seen a truly proud and consistently joyful divorcee?
It also increases the chances of divorce in the marriages of your children - if they ever decide to get married.
You're a man. Others have been through this with success.
Think about it and make the necessary adjustments.
God bless

@poster thanks for taking the time to share what you are going through. It's the very first step in finding the solution to the challenges you are having. I usually tell young couples with this kind of issues that once they go past the first two years of marriage then it will be difficult for them to think divorce. This is because the first two years are still the time to develop your friendship and not a time to rest. You both may have been in love but that is just the beginning. You have had different orientations and different responses to your environment as well growing up. You can't just expect everything to be perfect because you are now married. You must take the initiative as the man to build the kind of home that you desire. You both must find ways of continuosly developing your relationship. Attend marriage seminers, read good books on marriage, etc. Divorce is the easy way out, that's why marriage is for people who are physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially matured. As someone else stated, you are not doing your wife a favour by being married to her nor providing for her financially. The key to a happy and fulfilled marriage remains simple, love your wife and your wife should be obedient. The question however is which should come first? Well go ahead and love her, it is not a precondition for her to be obedient first. Show her real love and care and see if she doesn't submit. Goodluck!

Just took my time to go through all 11pages. Pains me that OP and the other guy with a similar issue are already considering divorce. First take practical steps to restore your marriage. What do you do together as a family? Pray,study the word,eat,gist,Tv,games etc? Find a level ground. Do you put God first and follow His endless Love? If your spouse respects the higher power he/she may refrain from wrong doing not because of you but because of God. Be friends with your spouse. Put the good of the whole family first not that of any individual member. Teach your spouse to make sacrifices. Share the family plan with your family members and let everyone see where they have to contribute. Then as a man be in charge of your home. Some men are actually strangers in their homes. Correct your spouse when necessary and dont fall for blackmail or manipulations. Some couples have passed through all you complained of including hardship and ttc but still made it but here you are without the toughest challenges,so count your blessings. @Dailynews what a sad story,so sorry for your loss.

•she doesn't respect you
•she doesn't appreciate you
•she is a moaner
•she compares you to her father all the time.

divorce isn't even needed now. man up & give her father a call. break it down to him how he has failed as a father to bring up her daughter the proper way.

tell him how disappointed you are to have been scammed to marry a damaged good(his daughter). tell him you are few inches away from driving a dagger into his daughter's heart & if care is not taken, he would be burying his daughter instead of celebrating christmas....

trust me, things would change......

Hello brother, how i wish i met you face to face, but its still ok. I have been married for over two years now. Sometimes ago, i almost went through what you write here. Anybody that is single cannot understand what you explain here. My advice; what you want just give it!

If what you want from your wife is love, give her your love. If all you want from her is care, give it, if you want respect, respect her.

Though, i can see that you said you give her whatever she wants, but sincerely, i know what am saying, your wife is not mad. If you give her good loving, she will give you good loving, i bet you.

Make sure you are not cheating and dont give her any reason to think you are. Shalom!
