Lesson And Experience With My Wife And His Elder Brother, Kindly Advice by ONYEKAfra(m): 12:22pm On Mar 10, 2020
Hello friend, one never know the kind of wife he married until situation show up

My wife's elder brother came to stay with me for Job, so I fix him up in where I work as a temporary staff
To my surprise, my wife abandon me, diverted all attention to his brother.
I normally got home around 10 pm everyday and my wife would just go and sleep, my food will be in the kitchen
Sometimes, she will give me food, no water. I will take it my self.

But when his brother came, She start serving him food, provide water in glass and stay with him late in the night, talking and gist till late in the night

When he would be going to work, she wake up and would escort him around 4 am

My surprise, they normally gave her milk from church, she would hid them for me not see and take
But now, her staying with me, she would gave him the milk, the left over bread I normally take, gave him. I never talk
His brother started sleeping in our office in order to reduce expenses, since I normally pay the fare and feed him in office, since he just start

Today as I am going to work, my wife quickly woke up, prepare rice and put in cooler, that I should gave to his brother,
Then I ask why she was doing that. She said to reduce expenses on me
I reply No, I do not carry rice because since i married her for almost years, she never gave rice to work. why should I carry rice to her brother
She said I am jealous

Kindly advice me in handling the issue

That woman is a total senseless idiot. You have to make her see her error and if she refuses to change send her back to her father's house and get you a brand new girl very young and fresh blood.

Send her home for doing what exactly? Has she done anything untoward?

Now you think she is a "senseless idiòt", how rich of you. I hope you aren't one of those advising men on this site to never forget that their wives are not blood relatives. Perhaps OP's wife took the advise and realised that the husband isn't her blood relative, but the brother is, hence the preferential treatment.

Prior to the visit of his brother-in-law, OP had no serious qualms with his wife's behaviour (at least he didn't create a thread for it) but now he is aggrieved because the brother-in-law is being treated with privilege, he even feels he is in competition with the BIL for the wife's affection.

OP simply tell your wife what you want and how you want to be treated and make sure not to compare your situation with that of your BIL.

When certain issues are not resolved before marriage, or at the early stages of marriage it becomes very difficult to resolve Sir .
The only thing you can do right now, is to sit her down and talk to her(not in anger), tell her how you feel, what you expect of her, how you would love her to treat you.
This is the easiest way to get what you want.
She is obviously very attached to her brother, because most likely these are things she did for him before she got married to you.
You also have to ensure you are treating her right in every way, because some women tend to unknowingly or knowingly switch off their caring sides, when they are not being treated well.
Either way, you still have to talk to her and tell her how you feel, in a calm voice and tone.
Good luck

I will advice you to take it easy. I know how one can feel when you notice a level of inequality in care and affection. However, your wife might just be doing that so you will not feel pressured on bearing his ( her brother) expense. Try and let her know exactly how u feel about it.
Re: Lesson And Experience With My Wife And His Elder Brother, Kindly Advice by babythug(f): 2:02pm On Mar 10, 2020
Your wife doesn’t feel you are deserving of all the extra frills she’s giving her brother.

We cannot know what the issues you both have had over the years but it certainly
Needs to be addressed.

You will know some of the issues since you are part of the marriage, work at fixing them.

Also some of these gestures you’re mentioning are you absolutely certain your wife hasn’t offered them and you rebuffed her?

Search your self first sir

Talk to your wife, sit her down and talk to her respectfully, tell her your mind. Talk to her when her brother is not around. She must have been very close to her brother and loves her brother very much. I am wondering if you treat her right, because if you do, she would definitely love you as much as her brother.
However, If you talk to her yet the situation does not improve, try and be patient, the brother can spend 6months-1yr, then leave your house and rent his own house. Be patient.
Re: Lesson And Experience With My Wife And His Elder Brother, Kindly Advice by nursennenny(f): 5:29pm On Mar 10, 2020
OP it’s very easy to highlight the wrong others do but never admit our own failings.

You want us to judge your wife with just the little narrative you put up here?
I am a lady and I know it’s hard for women to not reciprocate love.
Are you a good husband to her?
Does she have anything to look forward to whenever you are home?
Do you give her quality time and attention?
Do you act like a loving husband?

How come all of a sudden she’s depriving herself of sleep just to be with her brother?
Don’t you think it’s cos of something he is doing?

She now cooks in the morning for him, don’t you think it’s coz she believe he is worth the stress?

And the way you dismissed her off by not carrying the good food you have no maturity in marriage.
What if u collected the food and maybe later sit her down to express your displeasure?

Abeg let me not waste my advice tor

Your wife is not doing right but the onus is on you to show her the way and that is by leading by example.If there is a way you want her to act towards you,show her by example.
Do you compliment her.......her cooking,dressing,taking care of the home e.t.c.?Do you help out with chores in the house?Do you give her attention and try to spend time with her whenever you are home?

It's obvious she grew in a loving family relationship with her brother.Now you be that loving brother,husband and lover.
You wouldn't have an issue with your wife if you create the atmosphere.

You're angry with your wife for not treating you special enough and she might never know it because you have refused to do the most important thing: Communication

There's absolutely nothing wrong with how you feel, but it's wrong when you don't voice out your feelings.
Also, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be treated in a certain kind of way.
Sometimes, we need to teach people how we want to be treated by showing them through our actions.
You want to be treated special, treat her special.
Show her how it's done, or how you want it done.
If she doesn't reciprocate, then you have the right to be angry.
Telling or showing her how you want to be treated doesn't make it any less special, even though you would probably have preferred her to have known them.

She is just being selfish

With time your brother will get prepared to get accommodation for him or you do that for him and subsequently he will Continue to pay the rent

His exit from the house will prove to you if your wife will have time for you or not

Well-done,Sir.

I am surprised too.
Well, if you ask me I have not seen anything wrong the wife did.
Yeah, he is paying attention to his brother..which good sister wouldn't do same.

The brother even accepted to sleep in the office for him to reduce expenses...I tell you some sister will not agree to that.

Generally speaking,I have not seen anything this young man and his sister did or have done to warrant this post... unless there is something the OP is not telling us.

This is an entire deviation from the initial issues you mentioned.

Again you said you “discovered” these during your “sit down” with her. They may be assumptions which may. Or may not be true.
I think you should begin to be more open minded and let go of all previous assumptions of what you’ve termed as her failings and weak points plus wrong doings!

Free your mind and start afresh mentally with her. Steer her gently in the direction of your expectations . Talk directly and gently with her i can assure you things will only get better!

Are you in anyway saying the wife had no wrong? Try balance things up and stop being sentimental by defending the woman. Some women don't understand their role in marriage, some won't appreciate marriage untill they loose it. No right thinking man will maltreat a caring woman
