For Men Only: The Silent Pains Of A Husband by QuinModah(f): 9:39pm On Apr 17, 2022
FOR MEN ONLY:

THE SILENT PAINS OF A HUSBAND
Everybody is hung up on domestic abuse by men against women. Nobody spares a moment to find solutions to the equally devastating verbal abuse men suffer in the hands of their wives. It is worse because men can't discuss what their wives do to them for fear of scorn and derision. They suffer in silence. Timebomb.

Unfortunately, the Nigerian society has little or no support systems for this kind of situation. Little or no counselling services. It's been mostly left to the church to deal with. What happens when the man doesn't go to church? What happens when the woman doesn't believe in spiritual intervention? These women are raising daughters. Their daughters are hearing and seeing how they speak to and treat their husband. What kind of wives will they grow up to become? Those that treat their husbands as kings or those that believe husbands are nothing but verbal punching bags?

We've all agreed and rightfully so that a man has no business hitting his wife. So how then do you stop a wife raining verbal missiles at you? Leave the house? Okay. But you'll return and it will continue. What next? Leave again? For how long?

Recently, I visited a senior friend, an important man in the society and while we were downstairs gisting, the voice of his wife could be heard upstairs. She was spewing unimaginable bile against the man. She called him all sorts of unprintable names. Impotent, wretched fool, miserable man that was nothing when she married him, etc. This is a well respected man. A father of 4 children. She tore at his very core and mocked everything society respected him for. She said he'd soon crash and she'll be there to laugh at him.

I was so uncomfortable as I beheld the man. He was shrunken before me. He was deflated. He tried to gamefully continue the gist to distract me but it was not working. The woman's vitriol was a ceaseless torrent. Uncomfortable silence ensued. I excused myself and left his house.

I was really sad.

You want to know the truth? This is what most men go through in their houses. They labour and toil and build respect but when they return home, the one who ought to speak to the king in them tears them to shreds and tries to deflate their self-esteem. When they are outside, they try to act cheerful and happy but back home, they are shrivelled because the person they live with makes it a point of duty to verbally assault them.

A sad story comes to mind. There was recently a Nigerian Ambassador who was recalled because his wife released a story to the press that he beat her. She also released pictures showing fresh injuries on her body ostensibly inflicted by the man.

In a dramatic twist, their children came out to debunk the stories and said their mother faked the injuries to embarrass their dad. Grown up children.

A particular sentence by the 1st son saddened me. He said it was as if their mum woke up every morning with one mission in life: how to make their dad miserable. They said they were witnesses to how their mum constantly harassed and abused their dad and wanted the whole world to know that their dad was not who their mum was painting him to be.

Yes, opinion shifted on the scandal but the damage had been done. The Ambassador was recalled and nobody heard from him again.

A family is currently at odds with the widow of their son and brother. The wife was constantly verbally assaulting him. Nobody wanted to visit them because each time they were around, it was always quarrel and the wife would call him unprintable names. Even in their presence. When they try to interfere, she will give them their own. The man died recently of heart-attack caused by high blood pressure. He was in his late 40s. The family insists his wife sent him to his early grave with her verbal torments.

Our bars are filled with men who are afraid to go home to their wives for fear of what verbal torment they will go through. Men are finding every excuse to travel because they'll rather be anywhere than in their own homes.

Everybody is focusing on men as culprits in domestic abuse. Who is talking to the women?

Excuse me but what you described here is a man sitting tight in a toxic relationship. That is the only truth that matters in this case. undecided

It matters not whether a one labors and toils or builds respect, no one deserves to be in a toxic relationship, and no one should sit tight in one for any reason. So, please advise your friend to at least consider separation for the time being. After which they can seek professional marriage counseling to maybe help resolve whatever marital issue that may have led to the wife becoming verbally abusive towards him. Or simply help them chart a best way forward to benefit them both.. undecided

Verbal abuse even emotional abuses are not crimes in the law court but could be used against you when presented against you in a court case

It's absurd for anyone to think they can get away absolutely with both forms of abuses without one form of consequence or the other. You can't have your cake and eat it

Good morning to you...

Have I said something not accurate? cheesy
Pretty sure there's no one in Nigeria who's not heard the phrase 'anything you say can be used against you in the court of law' including useless talks wey some women pride themselves in

Na only recording of some of the things wey you talk go nail you for court...

How about emotional abuse, Johnny depp and amber heard case is a typical example of how abuses of any kind could get you in trouble and work against you in court...

Let's face it, abuse is abuse, period...

You can't sow the wind and not want to reap the whirlwind. You keep on dishing abuses and expect peaceful reactions? Nah, one way or the other the subject of the abuse will get tired of bullshît

Emotional, verbal and physical abuse are all bad for everyone and should not be tolerated.

No man or woman should endure any of these abuse.

We all know many men tend to be guilty of physical abuse while many women tend to be guilty of verbal abuse. Both parties can be guilty of emotional abuse.

No man or woman should endure abuse. Men should also speak out or use legal system to help themselves if they find themselves in any of these abuse

"For women only" is not written on the laws that settle emotional, verbal or physical abuse. Everyone can use the laws for protection if need arises.

The pain men feel doesn't start when he becomes a husband, it starts the very day a human is born a man. Most men live in quiet desperation, with no end in sight to their agony. They see women get for free what they must work like a camel for.

As a boy grows older, responsibilities from society, himself and relationship heaps high and high. And he is only appreciated or awarded with the basic things of life such as intimacy and respect when he delivers.

Ask your average woman who is very well aware of the gender conditions if they would like to be a man in their next life, and they will tell you no. You don't want to be a man in Ukraine right now. You must stay back and fight even if you're dumb, deaf, blind and cripple.

The only qualification one needs to have is to be born a man, and he must stay back and fight regardless if he is weak and stupid, while a female boxer and wrestler can leave freely. I guess dying is a privilege.

And if men's life was easier as some dumb misandrist believed, we should be seeing women transgender to men in masses, but the opposite is the case. Go look at the brothers of your average slay queens, and see how wretched they look.

Women's live are hard, no denying of that, but for someone to honestly beat their chest and say men are privileged and have it easier in their scapegoated "patriarchy" Is not only an idiot, but not a good person.
