Good afternoon Familanders.

I'm in dire need of advice hence my write up.
I'm a single mum of one, I got separated from my ex two years ago...though we are not officially divorced yet. After things got pretty nasty and he had to chase me back home (prior to this, my folks had wanted me to come back home due to his constant abuse)... I thought we could resolve issues, we both tried to but he's just like a smoke, he can't hide his character for too long..he's hot tempered, egoistic, and he can so mouth trash me(emotional abuse).he grew up in a home where his mum was the C in C, so he hates women trying to have a say.I must always do whatever he says not minding if I'm comfortable or not. I have my own share of the blame cos sometimes, he pushes me and I react back, so I'm not saying I'm a saint either. But my friends and family knows I'm not a trouble maker.

So I've been alone for two years, no date, no relationship cos I'm still officially married to him.. I went to see some of his friends and they told me to move on without him, its sad but they couldn't hide it anymore, he has moved on even so show casing a lady around as his new found love..but when things go down the drain between him and his gf, he comes back to me trying to see if we can make things work.

Now I have two problems here,
1. I don't want to be the one to sue for a divorce cos he will blackmail me emotionally (he tells everyone who cares to listen that he didn't chase me out of the house but I left cos I couldn't endure which is a lie from the deepest part of hell)... he doesn't want to sue for a divorce too.

2. I'm becoming too lonely, most night I cry myself to bed.. the last time we spoke, he told me "you're a very good lady, I love you but I really don't know why things arent working between us".. I know he loves me but I'm becoming too lonely and I don't want to cheat on him.

3. Around July 2016,a friend of mine (family friend) has been on my neck for a relationship, I've known him for a while, he was there for me all through when things was bad, he is a good man and he knows I'm separated (he's officially divorced to a white woman)...he's like everything I want in a man.

I really don't know what to do...do I sue for a divorce? or go into a relationship with my new guy for the main time..please help me.


Thank you

Thank you very much Sir.
I'm 22hrs away from him ATM..but I'm willing to make things work between us, but on his own part, its like he takes one step forward and 3steps backward.
He's not even talking to me, he has blocked all means of communication with me.

as bad as it sounds, there is nothing you can do... For better for worse remember...you should have know what you were getting into during courtship. Even if you end up getting divorced, you are not permitted to marry again while he is alive... That my dear is a great sin

and stay away from your family friend. You are clearly still hung up on your abusive ex. only enter a relationship when you have grieved and healed

So she should avoid a man who wants her and she wants equally??

@Tonyebarcanista
All his friends have spoken to him and he keeps on repeating the same thing that he's not fighting me and he will call me back when he's ready..
I just wonder what he thinks of me...

I'm giving his break but I'm human, its beginning to tell on me...it's becoming tempting.

I'm a Christian and that's why I'm still holding on cos I respect my oaths and I believe my vows are sacred... I pray for him everyday, never has a day gone by without me praying for him.
He loves you but I think he has this feeling that showing you would make you grow to be the kind of a wife his mum is/was to his dad. FEAR!

I will advice that you allow him the break and time to time visit him. DON'T chat with him please, you may call him to greet him too and send him text messages, but PLEASE refrain from asking him questions like "when are you coming back" "do you want divorce" etc.

As a married Christian, you don't need to complicate your life by thinking of another man or contemplating divorce.

To answer your question, he thinks of you daily but with time he will confess to you.


TO SHARE MY PARENTS STORY:
During the early years of marriage, my dad acted inappropriately by sending my mom home (my paternal grandma however accommodated my mom). I don't know how long Momsy stayed with granny but when her husband, my dad was tired, he used his own leg to go bring back his wife. Today, they are happy even after 4 decades. My mom was a Christian and her God fought for her! I can tell you that my dad knew Christ through her.

In your prayer, just pray that God should arrest him and frustrate every evil plan to scatter your home.

You both are joined before God Almighty.

I know some frustrated people that are neither married nor believe in the sanctity of marriage will laugh at the mention of God and prayer, but is there anything God cannot do?

God cares!

Mind u ,am not the only one offering divorce as a solution.
Read all her replies and provide your own solution to her.. It's that simple. It's not hard.
What concern of yours If am married or divorced?
Is this topic about me or the op's?
Proffer your own solution to her. She waiting.
If you are happily married or believe in the sanctity of marriage, you won't be going from thread to thread advising divorce on every issue, neither will you follow the path of some misguided advanced unmarried ladies to always shout divorce whenever things go south. We know these things

In any marriage, all efforts must be made to salvage the home EXCEPT in cases of physical abuse, which is criminal and must be dealt with to the latter. Cheating is another strong ground for divorce.

Anyway, I don talk finish...

What about the twins he is expecting? And the fact that she is even aware he was in a full fledged public relationship while she is waiting. Will you advice your own child to stay in such a marriage? What next when he gets bored or distracted again

It's actually how you think that should be criticised..
She once want that man she's Referring to as her Ex and The Ex of a guy too, once wants her.
Am having a feeling there is more to this than the OP is putting up here, how can a mother ignore her grandchild for a year nt to talk of 2yrs. Is Op sure she hasn't done something stupid and she's here making us finger our brains??
All I av to say is be full of prayers and only pray by yourself or talk to Pastor or Priest that has earned your trust.
Some so called man of satan in Man of God's form are waiting to take advantage of situations like this.
.
.
Mores o, you need to be careful in your decision making, if you re moving on, make sure it's the very right choice by praying earnestly( I knw it's a sin, considering the fact that ur husband isn't dead yet) or rather channel those prayers to making your current marriage work. The heart of the Kings and chiefs is in God's hands. Ask God to change his heart, if you truly want him back as u claimed.

I just wish there's nothing like heartbreak.

And who told you he is expecting twins? Because he asked a question? Well until she confirm his unfaithfulness or sees such signs, she should keep pushing hard.

But if it turns out that he is seeing another woman, then it is a strong ground to seek divorce- but let's not be quick to reach conclusion

Did you not read where he kicked her out? Why will he mention the possibility of twins if it was not true? Does that not mean he is probably actively trying for twins? Did you not read where she was aware of his new relationship Or you did not read the thread?

@ifecoded, mecussy..I'm not a saint but I know I've not done anything to warrant this..
If I have, his friends won't be supporting me, one of his closest friend has refused to speakto him in two years cos of the way he treated me..
His extended family and siblings (except one and his mum) are in great support of me and they talk to me And encourage me... If am a bad DIL, they won't do that.
He told me and he tells everyone that I'm a good woman but he just doesn't know what's wrong.

We fight like every other couple and we settle it amicably...I don't just know where things went wrong

Read her first post again carefully on page 1. She said he has moved on and is showcasing a new lady. No man in his right mind who has a kid will play silly games. He even went as far as blocking her on all communication. His own wife! He has obviously not even bothered to find out how his child is doing. That is the guy you advise her to have patience for. She will die being hurt repeatedly by him. He's a broken guy and will keep destroying things till he dies. It is her decision to respect herself and child or continue being his beast of torture aka eran iya. She will wake up in 10yrs bitter and full of regrets if she keeps this up. It will just be a pathetic cycle.

Honestly, the other dude shouldn't even be in the picture AT ALL!!! If he was perfect then why couldn't he salvage his crashed marriage? People only show their angelic side when chasing for relationship but their real self comes out during cohabitation.

I don't know the age of your man but I think he's still growing up, with time he will realise his misdeeds towards his wife.

Please, also search yourself and repent from any attitude that turns him off... I believe your home will bounce back.

If you read the initial post, she faulted herself and took 50% responsibility. Her husband has baggage, he deserves to be alone. Until he can let go of his childhood inhibitions about having a domineering woman, he cannot be truly free and have a normal life.

Original content taken down:

After seeing that he has a new GF, my advice to OP is simple.

Infidelity is a strong case for divorce both in common law and Biblically. He broke the marriage vow.

You have the choice to either forgive him and try to make things work or give him some more time (say 6months) before making decision to quit.

God Help you
