Even the supposed love she has for him is all a lie! Time was not on her side and she luckily found a man she could decieve and cheat! She decieved him so much with her fake humility and lies that even after discovery, he is still smitten with her.

LADIES teaching the DEVIL, how to LIE..

THE worst is that they shed copious tears when lying.

D BEST for Intending guys is to marry a very young LADY whose elastic limit has not exceeded the FORCE applied on it.

When u marry a very young lady, with JOB potentials the benefits are always in ripples.
BEST AGE for marriage with minimal disaster is between 18 and 25

Its so appalling how our society has degenerated to this despicable state. People should face THE FULL CONSEQUENCES of their action and stop this NONSENSE! She lied, forgive her emotionally and find solution medically, that includes getting another wife if it has been certified she cant give you babies. Marriage based on such magnitude DECEIT is dangerous. Go meet a Rev Father

Op should stop crying over spilt milk and move on to try and impregnate a younger damsel....There are a lot of them these days who are ready to be baby mamas for the right price smiley.... ask Olamide, Davido, Wizkid, etc

This is one of the few situations where Cheating is not only advisable but absolutely necessary..... A woman who can hide such a sensitive matter isn't worthy of being faithful to undecided ..... op might as well divorce the woman and marry some younger blood if his conscience is too soft to allow him cheat angry


And for all those acting here all 'mature' and shitt undecided, Being 'mature' by forgiving his wife isn't going to give him kids or undo the lie angry.... That marriage is irretrievably doomed because the dude will even start questioning the woman's 'Good Morning', and the woman will always feel guilty and victimized if any argument comes up in the house. ... THE PASTOR ISN'T GOING TO BE THERE WHEN ALL THE BAD BLOOD STARTS COMING OUT AFTER THE 'FORGIVENESS' undecided ...... A WOMAN WHO CAN LIE LIKE DAT CAN EVEN KILL, AND DOESN'T DESERVE FORGIVENESS OR ANY SOFT LANDING OF ANY KIND undecided

We still don't have the whole picture. Even at 35 when you thought you were agemates, there must have been factors on your side or hers that made you overlook her being above 30.
Non disclosure of 7 years age difference is not a small matter ooo. It is not just about being mature, trust has been destroyed.
During courtship, discussions would have revealed the discrepancies if you were the type that pays attention to details.
Decide. Your priority now. If it is having biological kids, staying married etc and follow through.

Brother first question I will ask is are you a child of God? Second question is do you really love your wife? Brother one thing I know is that there is NOTHING God cannot do. If I am talking to someone out there I want to let you know that there is hope. One thing I believe here is that ur wife can still conceive. I have seen the power of God in my own life which makes me know that nothing is impossible with God. Medical placing of menopause and of 45 is only an average meaning that some women can still conceive above 55 but rare. And some come with congenital diseases. So 45 yrs as menopausal age is a + or - thing.

All you guys need to do is.

You don't have to leave your wife at least now.
You shld tell ur wife to go for a 21 day fasting and prayer for God to forgive her sins. Join her if you can
Go for tests to see if see has other problems that might hinder her from taking in again so as to prevent. More sad stories. If she is alright then u r good to go

Try out intercourse for a while get her pregnant.

If she eventually gets pregnant treat her with extreme care aand go for antenatal check up very often making sure that all is going smoothly. Meanwhile praying ceaselessly for God to intervene in the situation and bro ur guess is as good as mine. A child is ok. Then u can adopt after that. Trust God never fails

Call me 08092431893
I am a beneficiary of God's love and power.

The marriage is founded on lies, deception and dissimulation and should be dissolved on the grounds of misleading and distortion of vital information that could make or mar it subsistency.

As a grown up man, a bachelor, you must have dreamt of having your own child, someone that would sustain your bloodline and not adoption. You embarked on marriage with the anticipation, expectation and delightment of having your own child, harbouring the thought of what junior and ada would look like only to realize that the to-be mother of your unborn kids played a fast one on you even as she was aware that menopause is lurking around her thereby dashing your hopes, dreams and aspirations of a father away in a twinkle of an eye. That to me is heartless, cruel and unpardonable. I'd move on if I were you.

My friend, think and think again!

What if he is the one at menopause due to sin he has committed in the past and the devil want to use it against him? Don't forget he himself didn't undergo fertility test but blaming the wife for helping with some lope hold.

I don't believe the problem is from the wife but the husband. You can be young and still can't impregnate a woman, I wish you advice him to check himself rather saying those scrap of not taking shiiit;

If you re' a believer you will know age 47 is not a barrier to having children, Sarah the wife of Abraham had hers at age 90, Hannah and others even here in Nigeria had theirs at late age!

Don't spoil their wonderful home filled with true love and care for just children that re' coming till they tell God its enough.
Let him not marry another lady that ll give him thorn to life and restless peace just because of lack of patience.

Do you know what it means to have a wife who truly love you, cares for you and stand by you despite the odd? Ask a married man who wish never to have married by having the wrong woman and you will praise God and telling the #op to kneel and pray rather than getting a replace.

Its simple. you wanna have kids and there are tendencies she cant give you that...Here is a thought, Get a side lady seeking her consent...by seeking her consent i would mean letting her know. divorcing isnt the way. Seeing some comments on here makes me hate humanity. Where do you guys want her to start from if she's booted out? From what i read, she's a great wife, so why are we talking about divorce.

Forgive her, bro. That's your cross to bear. U can't cheat, u can't divorce.

If u divorce her, who go marry am?
Na wa for u o. Grow a conscience.

PS, she's sorry....forgive her.

Adopt a child and build his/her future. See this thing abt childbearing is overrated. What's ur bizness with ur kids when u're dead?

Abegi, go adopt and make that woman happy. Even GOD will be amazed at ur kind gestures. Do her this favour, bro.

This marriage was built on lies from the onset. And nothing built on lies can last.

How could she?

Pastor or no pastor, oga abeg find one pino pino sharp bae and knack her better belle.

If ur wife can lie to u all these while, then she should be ready to live with the consequences of her actions.


8yrs no be 8hrs bro, abi she no reason am say she gats bear kids for u?

Please forgive her, we are all guilty of one thing or the order. Cast it away from your mind. Then trust
God for Children, with God all things are possible. He can compensate your family if you forgive and forget
and give triplet or more. Stop consulting a fertility specialist. Believe your Pastor. God is still in the business
of miracles. There is reason for everything...

LOLZ!! I grin grin

I FEEL REALLY SAD FOR THE OP, AND KIND OF IMAGINE IF IT WAS ME, WHAT WILL I DO? MANY PEOPLE HERE MAKE A SIMILAR COMMENT TELLING THE OP TO "FORGIVE"
YOU CAN FORGIVE A PERSON BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO FORGET WHAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH, THE BELIEVE YOU ONCE HAVE THAT YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF HER, MAKING SOME KEY FAMILY DECISION LIKE IF YOU ARE THE SENIOR BUT NOT KNOWING SHE IS PLAYING YOU LIKE A CARD OR RATHER MAKE YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE IN CHARGE BUT FAIL TO REALIZE THAT NATURE IS AROUND THE CORNER WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME TO STRIKE.

THE PROBLEM NOW IS THAT THE OP HAS LOST HIS HAPPINESS AND FEEL CHEATED BY HER.

THE ONLY BEST WAY TO REGAIN HIS HAPPINESS IS IF HE :

1. DIVORCE HER


2. HAVE A SECOND WIFE


3. HAVE A KID OUTSIDE OR CONCUBINE



IF HE SAID HE WANT TO FORGIVE HER AND STILL LIVE WITH HER!! OR DID THAT SURROGATE STUFF, I BET YOU!! HE WILL RUN MAD IN SOME CERTAIN STAGE OF LIFE, EVEN RIGHT NOW HE WILL NOT EVEN WHAT TO LOOK AT HIS WIFE EYE TO EYE OR RATHER EVEN SLEEP WITH HER. COS HIS PERSPECTIVE OF HER HAVE ALREADY CHANGE. IT ONLY TAKES THE GRACE OF GOD OR RATHER A MIRACLE WHICH WILL BE 0.0000001% FOR THEM TO SETTLE THINGS NOW.


I feel more than sad for the op as well

If it is just the age issue n the fertility issue, I would have advised u to continue since she is still fertile she got pregnant before and with good treatment she will get pregnant again as long as the womb is not damage. But the age difference is glaring that it shows in her appearance n this will make people to laugh n make jest of u, so get a second wife but stay with the first wife let her continue with the treatment, show her love let he be happy.

My Wife Lied About Her Age

She says, of course, that she feared I would walk away if I knew the truth, but she must have known it would come out sometime, somehow. I think I still love her, she is really a wife material, respectful, lovable and very industrious lady but I feel so betrayed! Letting a husband believe you're years younger than you are with all the implications for child-bearing, is a grotesque deception.

Maybe if my wife had been honest with me from the beginning, knowing her age I would have adjusted my planning and expectations for children. But she lied. Should I prove her right in her assumption that when I found out the truth, I would walk away? Any thoughts on helping us get through this? I have given all my resources to make this marriage work.

I need matured and sincere advice please!

Brother you are in a very difficult situation but certainly there is a way. So far, you have done the right things. I fear however the thoughts you have now is the wrong thing. This is what I mean:

Your Mrs did wrong by lying to you. But you are now married and you admit she is a good wife except for this little problem: her lie. Now you're contemplating divorcing her. That's settling a wrong with a wrong. This is my take.

1. Remain in the marriage. Affirm your love, forgiveness and commitment to your wife again.

2. Adopt children.

When you do this, I believe your wife's youth will be renewed. Her worrying over you is what is causing her to age.

Friend, I do not envy your situation but you're in it already. God can still bless it. Your pastor is also right.

Wish you the best and if possible return to this thread in years to come and tell us how things have improved in your home. Bc I'm positive they will.

OP... first all, i noe how you feel. its a frustrating and disheatnn situation. But its all ur fault. U failed to do a proper background check on the deceptive lady before marrying her. So, if she hasnt commited adulrty... if we are to follow what God's word the Bible says... you cant divorce her. and you dare not commit sin (adultry) cos of your own neglegnce. stay with her, make her happy, feed her well, make her beautiful again. be like God, forgive and enjoy the pure peace of Jehovah.

lesson for all the single guys out there. look well before you leap. make sure its love and not lust or infactuation. some ladies can do anything including using football age just to get married.

To you our single sisters, if at 23 you havent gotten a man that is willing to marry you...hmmm, it will be hard ooo. at 26 its getting out of hand. so please watch the kind of friends you move with, watch what you wear and your public image in general. if at 18 youve started wearing body revealing clothes...im sorry for you.

Hello My Man.
I hardly comment on post like this because of the vastly widespread of lies here on Nairaland, but I can smell a big truth in your case.
I DO KNOW HOW YOU FEELS.
Let me address this post Systematically.

1.IT'S HIGH TIME TO DISCUSS
When I say "Discuss," discuss this issue together. You can inject these points in your discussion.
-Is there any Solution to the problem of been barren.
-How can we cope/manipulate your old face.
-How can we keep moving e.t.c
-The master key is "READ HER MIND THROUGH QUESTION" and implement proper action.
2.Concerning the Old Face of your wife.
Get her some affordable fashion designer that will make her look younger as much as possible.
At least, my Mother is now in her late 40's, ready to clock 50.
But this may not be the case if she is too fat. But without writting much epistle, kindly decode my message.
3. I WOULD STOP HERE BUT LET ME ASK SOME QUESTION.
-Can you send me a private mail?
-Since you said, "You still love her," what's your plan? E.t.c.

Dannyabu:
My Wife Lied About Her Age

Four years ago at 35, I married my wife, who I thought was 35. We both wanted children, but unfortunately, she had miscarriage in the second year and stillbirth in the third year. We began consulting a fertility specialist.

After she started asking questions, my wife admitted she is actually eight years older than she had led me to believe. She's 47 years old! She's cried and cried, begging for my forgiveness.

She's gone to try fertility treatments to get pregnant, but I don't want her to continue that for health reasons. I have forgiven her but as an African man; I'm NOT willing to consider the adoption option. She says, of course, that she feared I would walk away if I knew the truth, but she must have known it would come out sometime, somehow. I think I still love her, she is really a wife material, respectful, lovable and very industrious lady but I feel so betrayed! Letting a husband believe you're years younger than you are with all the implications for child-bearing, is a grotesque deception. Sometimes, I'm always wondering if some things she says are the truth. Moreover, after all the wahala and years in-between, her beauty has really waned. She now looks old! We have become butts of joke from neighbours and even strangers when they see us walking together. I look way younger than she is.

I think of getting another wife, but that has not been my person. I think of divorce, but where do I start? Have I wasted 4 years of my life just like that? We still have faith that miracles do happen. Our pastor has asked me to forgive her and move on, that my ability to forgive her will make her more loyal and obedient to me. She is a naturally good person, but for this act of deception.

Maybe if my wife had been honest with me from the beginning, knowing her age I would have adjusted my planning and expectations for children. But she lied. Should I prove her right in her assumption that when I found out the truth, I would walk away? Any thoughts on helping us get through this? I have given all my resources to make this marriage work.

OP, I know it hurts cos the age differnce is to much. But let's see it dis way, if you happened to be the one seeking her forgiveness wudnt u want her to forgive u so that both of u can continue as before.

I tink she must hav been a very beautiful woman for her age not to had shown (late 50's ). And u neva bother to know how her feminine side was doin ( irregula menstral period etc)

My advice wud be that u sit down with her and talk tins out, u can adopt (its not always bad to adopt, afterall is not all parent dat is proud to call dir biological kids dir own) or wait and seek God face. He alone gives children.

I hav witness a virgin lady that got married and didn't hav a child till after 7yrs. And hav seen older women givng births like Hebrew women.
There some situations where men take out a second wife or mistress to bare a child but the child did not live long enuf to bless his parents.

Pls Go down on ur kneels and ask God for direction. Pray with ur wife and wat ever decision both of u decides on will be the best.

You said she is a wife material and u love her. So do Wats best.
