Divorce The Only Option For Me, I Still Love Her But She Can't Change by Samuel1402(m): 5:56pm On Feb 02, 2020
Pls pardon me if the headline didn't go well with the message, I'm emotional imbalance. This post is not to seek for advice on divorce, but really want those who av gone through this to share their experience, to keep me up going after the divorce. I really love my wife and I belief she love me too. Short story about our relationship. We av being together for over fifteen years now but we got married eight years ago immediately after her NYSC and she moved in with me in Lagos. That was the first time she will come to live in Lagos permanent, cos before that time she only come to Lagos maybe once in four years. when she came to Lagos she told me she doesn't want to work under anybody and I agreed I asked her to think of what she want to do and she said she want to learn more on hair dressing and open a salon. Six month later I got a shop for her and bought some things she needed in the shop. everything was going fine but after six months the whole things change everything about her is on her business, no time for anything at home she go to shop from Monday to Sunday, and to make the matter worse she will leave for shop in the morning and not come back until minimum of 10pm everyday including public holidays xmas , new year, everyday! I got tired I fought her, I reported her to her parents, her brother her sister I av done every things I can do to make her understand that I'm not comfortable with her attitude but instead of her to change, the whole things is getting worse. As at present I cook myself I clean the house, last year I change our resident to a more far area and told her to look for shop in that area that I will pay and equipped the shop, but she refused I called her late last year and told her to change or I filled for divorce, she begged and promised to change, she even told me that she just want to do the end of the year business there and by January she will move her business, since then every things has gone from bad to worse last month I called her and told her I av no option than to go for a divorce, she also begged and cry but nothing has changed I've concluded to go for divorce, but the issue is how I will cope, how I can move on fast after the divorce, NOTE Despite how she work no single financial assistant from her in any form, even when I'm broke no help from her. I pay every bills from the smallest to the biggest expenses in the house, pls reasonable advice needed especially if u have gone through this before thanks.

it hasn't gone to that level, instead move out of the house and allow her enjoy her new husband which is her work, if she loves you, she will be forced to do the right thing immediately.

The truth is hair dressing business is not a good idea for a woman who's starting a family.
It's a very demanding business, unless you have an idea on how to manage it.

What she should do is to employ good hair stylists, and assign a manager to oversee things when she's not there, that way, she doesn't have to leave home too early or come back too late.
That'll give you both enough time to spend with each other...unless she does not want to, this plan should work.

Give your marriage a chance. Don't give up yet.

I hate that hair dressing business for women....it makes them not to have time for their home...They are always at the shop till late hour...No marriage can survive with such harsh business....it has also turned most of the women in the business into prostitutes and also turned most wives to be rebellious to their husbands.... I pity men that are married to women in such business.

You better tell to always close her shop by 6:30pm during week days and by 5pm during weekends and important public holidays must be observed at home....if she refuse then she is not ready to make your marriage work.

All the best bros.

I was going to say maybe it's her business that's giving her joy and then she pays her own part of the bills, not until you added this part.
I'm sorry man, this is bigger than I thought.

If all you stated is true, your marriage is very much redeemable. From your write up, you have been married for 8 years and have involved her family at different times to resolve issues, is she using the salon as a diversion, a coping mechanism to deal the fact that you two are yet to be blessed with the fruit of the womb? Since you wrote that you love your wife and believes she also does love you too, go for professional couple therapy.

You are a man of too many words and little action.
This is a sign of weakness.
No wonder she does not take you seriously.
For some people to change, they need the school of HARD KNOCKS or SHOCK THERAPY.

It is laughable you write about love.
In any relationship or marriage, FAMILY TIME should always come FIRST.
Love is not selfish.
Love is not frivolous.

Love is taken seriously in any relationship.
It manifests in actions, without words.
It is always felt where it is needed THE MOST for each individual.

You both have no concept of what love is.
Stop deceiving yourselves.
Please. kiss

Hair dressing work is for the single mostly because some hair takes forever to complete theme like Ghana weaving.

Why can't she employ an hairstylist in her shop... Atleast she can do home stuffs before going to her shop... Hairdressing basically fits single ladies than married ladies..

Divorce is not the option yet.
She has used you.
Use her and dump her.

Get one of your neighbors, her friend or a relative to take her place.
Make her go paranoid over your new affair and let her know she pushed you to it.

I expect her to promise to devote more attention to you.
Act like you have accepted her repentance and screw her like you're dying this night.

By morning, while she's in the kitchen making breakfast trying to convince you that she's a change person.
Remain in bed playing melancholic love songs.

Get her to eat with you and after the meal, ask her to get dressed because that was the LAST SUPPER.
Tell her you love her so much to let her go and concentrate on her hair business.

Don't be a wimp.

This is dicey.
Could it be that you want a divorce, not because of her working late, but because you do not have a baby together yet?
Could it be that the home is inhabitable for her due to flying emotions and she's burying herself in her work to stay away from it?
What's the prognosis from the hospital regarding fertility?
.
I'm sorry I'm asking, but there's usually an underlying issue not put out in the open when couples want divorce.

Are all these divorce stories really true?

E be like last last na this baby mama whatever sure oooo.

Because I'm really scared of what I will do to any bitch that tries to frustrate me.

Thanks for your response.
Have you been to her salon recently?
Maybe you should go there and observe her normal days activity.
.
Maybe what she needs is not a change of location, but a restructure of her business.
.
E.g She might be trying to do it all.
Maybe she needs to employ more hands.
When getting new staff, trust can be an issue.
If she has a staff that can do manicure and pedicure for clients, that takes it off her hands. I.e more space to attend to more people faster.

If she has a staff that can do preliminary hair assignments such as take off old hair of clients, loosen old weaves/braids, wash their hair all before your wife has to do the proper hair making, this means she has less multi tasking to do and can handle clients faster.
.
I am just trying to think of what she might be having to do as a salonist.
Also, being involved in what she's doing, or trying to help her make it easy might make her see that she also needs to be more involved in matters that concern you.
.
I know you are exasperated.... but can we try one more time... via a different approach?

Are you sure the reason for the divorce is not the infertility issue?
