poor education is the reason for loneliness, if you are educated and have traveled before you will never again assume that all unmarried people over 40 are lonely. if you have goals to pursue and you have challenges to stand up to you wont remember you are lonely. you see am always disappointed when in 2017 a youth who should be having big dreams like the mark zuckerbergs of this world, the Elon Musk, the People that have changed this world, is busy thinking about how to avoid loneliness then u can see how backward africa will remain for the next thousand years. if you know how long of focused effort and attention it takes to change your own little corner of the world then you will probably understand why marriage is just optional in developed societies. pls our young people try to think big, read books about other worlds, open your mind and get exposed, stop focusing on marriage because the pastor told you its the only reason for existence. nigerian pastors happen to be experts in almost every area of endeavor from law, to medicine, to finance, and unfortunately the poor level of education of most churchgoers creates a fertile ground for disarming gullibility. someone said it here recently that in Nigeria it is assumed everybody will be married, everybody will have kids, and everybody will make it big time otherwise there are witches at work. pathetic

Most people of such personality as the wife will never try marriage counseling cos they feel at peace with what they do. If the hubby had always been the one doing everything to keep the marriage she wouldn't want to leave the comfort of that space.

I have repeated severally some people don't have businesses getting married. If you have so much pride and ego. Stay out of marriages. Those two have ruin marriages more than infidelity itself.


This is a very wise comment. True, some partners in marriage deliberately set out to frustrate their spouse. They won't seek divorce yet they don't wanna mend fences with their better half.

This selfish and devilish. Like you said, such people don't have business marrying!

Most people get married in the hope of finding a partner with whom they can share anything and everything. Many hope to find their best friends in their life partners. Many get married thinking that they will never be lonely again, especially if you marry late in life.But, it is an unfortunate truth that many people do not find what they seek in their marriage. Many are left unsatisfied and lonely as their partner fails to understand them. This usually happens if you have a workaholic partner or if they were forced into marriage with you. Other times, your partner may not be aware that you are feeling lonely in the relationship.

Whatever be the case, it is not wise to simply throw in the towel and call it quits before trying to deal with the problem. In fact, loneliness in relationships can have devastating effects on you. You might tend to perceive others as less caring and affectionate than they really are. Here are some ways to deal with loneliness in marriage.

Ways to deal with loneliness in marriage are:

1.Take the initiative: In order to know how to cope with loneliness in marriage, you need to take the initiative and take down the walls you have built around yourself. Encourage your partner to do so as well.

2.Shared experience: The key to how to cope with loneliness in a marriage is to have shared experiences. This can be something mundane like taking the dog for a walk or going to the supermarket for a shopping.

Very educative post. A major reason people are lonely in marriage is because they didn't marry there friend. Friendship should be a major part of a relationship.

OP, what u copied only work in theory, which @|$0 made me conclude dt ure still single. In practice, nothing u wrote works. Once d marriage starts falling apart, little could be done..Moreso, there are things that happened that.leads to u isolating ur spouse, most of which u cant help.

E.g, My friend's wife is too heady and bossy and because she can cater for herself, finds it impossible to say sorry for any wrong she does. Rather she hibernates and stop giving him attention.for as long as she wants to punish my friend. Now, after sevral attempts to save d situation continuously hit d rock, my friend is.moving on with his life, though they still live together but nothing conjugal btw them again.

Great feedback.

Because it is easier said than done.

We need successful married men to tell us how. Not some little kids.

Re: How To Deal With Loneliness In Marriage by Nobody: 4:08pm On Jan 21, 2017
Op, I've tried all these and none works. I have 3 options.. Continue living miserably in patience, get a sideline or file for divorce.
..
The 1st is leading me to suicide, 2nd might be problematic with a wrong person, the 3rd will affect kids.

I don tire

Very nice comment you got there. Some spouses are intentionally out to frustrate their partners, they neither want to work on their marriage nor seek for divorce as you said.
When I opened the post I thought I would be reading on suggestions on how to cope with the loneliness when those two you mentioned above (mending fences or divorce) become farfetched, but unfortunately was disappointed!
The OP should remember that a person's best friend could turn out to become his/her worst enemy someday, so marrying your friend like some people usually suggest, is not a guarantee to a happily ever after married life.
Let us know what do to curb this loneliness in marriage not on how to turn around the situation in the event that the options I mentioned earlier are out of it.

Can someone please? Anyone?

Does the wife wanted the marriage saved but doesn't know how. The couple should see a marriage counselor. People are surprisingly oblivious of their role as a spouse in marriages. Counselor helps to bare out anger, douse tension and direct a feasible path for the couple.

Ure still speaking from theory. No two events in marriages are d same. Even marriage counselors are also learning on d job as most of them also have problems with their marriage that cannot be managed. Besides, how many MC do we have in 9ja and ao many visits them?

There are many marriage counsellors in Nigeria. I am not referring to Pastors that stereotype women to some certain functions. I mean a proper counsellor who listens to both parties and makes fair decision. There are a number of counsellors in Nigeria though not much because of large of patronage. Check google, you would see a list of them.

I do not understand. You are facing problem in your marriage. You can no longer resolve it yourselves. It is then expedient you seek outside help. Doing nothing means nothing would change. Counsellors may or may not succeed but not trying is failure already. BTW, I am speaking from experience

My brother you have written well. Some partners are out there to frustrate their partners. They won't seek counselling cos they are afraid the counsellor will tell them what they don't want to hear. Some will say don't go wash your dirty linens outside. And if the tables were turned they wil be the one to throw tantrums. So like I always advise don't put too much happiness on someone else.
