Someone already told you that you guys should dissolve the union and you are here saying that divorce is not in the table. You have a fundamental problem. It's you that is the problem not your wife.
Believe me that guy na simp, what's he waiting for, get a side chick already if he doesn't want a divorce. Life is too short, don't trade ur happiness for anything, not even this trap called marriage.

I took my time to read your epistle and one thing I quickly noticed is that you two are no longer couples but strangers, a competing ones at that.

You are yet to see her true color because you still support your home financially. The worst in her will manifest if anything happens to your income.

Whenever a woman opens her mouth to say let's dissolve this marriage or this relationship, I would go for it immediately. If you don't, you will remain at her mercy forever and all your efforts in keeping the relationship will be unappreciated and underappreciated by her.

One thing is certain now. Your wife already has an exit plan and she is only waiting for a perfect time to strike. Most times, they don't strike until you are in the lowest of your lows so I suggest you start making your own exit plans because this rain I dey see so, it will definitely fall. It's only a matter of when.

Shalom.
you're wise, when a woman opens her mouth to ask for a divorce, it simply shows she's not into u anymore, she has completely lost interest in the union, best thing is to divorce. Make she no go poison u one day oh. I know women very well, they're heartless.

Why will I drop 97-98% of the finances to run the house then be cooking for the house and be doing house chores, it makes no sense. Yes i do this ones a while to surprise her and spice things up, but it should not be my joined role. She already has a maid who stays with us full time and supports her. Infact it is the maid that decide what the kids eat for most days. When we got married, I used to drive her to the market to buy her all she needs, even sometimes go myself, then one day we had a quarrel and she insults me on how I waste my time on the whole market thing, I just told her going forward she should go herself.


Just for your information I do my laundry myself cos I notice my clothes can be left in the laundry basket for days or even weeks. What does it take her to put cloth in the washing machine and ask the maid to spread them when it dries. I also do the ironing for the house, I iron everyone's cloth both my own, my children's own and my wife for the entire week.

To the finances, we already discussed this before marriage, I like to control my money and it okay for her to control her own, I dont want anyone to restrict my spending or take permission from anyone to give my money to who I like. Yes, my wifes earns well but I still earn much more thanks to God Almighty. I am cool with her working, and doing any extra curricular activities she wants. What I have a problem with is her neglecting her roles as a wife and mother, in the name of being busy. I have explained to her, all these activities dont bring value to the home, they are good for her and herself development. I want her to grow, develop and succeed however she needs to know the family is very important. She has a help who does 90 percent of all the house chores. She just needs to coordinate and ensure things are done rightly.

I have adjusted to the sex life and would tolerate things, it is the food part that is really getting to me.






jesmond3945:

My brother, the notion of this is father and this is mother, this is what a father should do and this is what a mother do is no longer tenable in this modern age. Thank God your wife is hustling and making money. So therefore she can as well step in which she is already doing. Paying fess and doing bills is not doing anyone a favor. You are doing it for the family. Your family is benefiting, thats why you are making money in the first place.
Your sex life. Your wife is probably exhausted from her hustling efforts and keeping the home front. I am a house husband working remotely and hustling too. Kids are exhausting. Just take leave from work and stay with the kids full time. Na body go tell you. Add it to try to hustle. If you no run mad make i craze.
Sex is the last thing on her mind. You have to put her in the mood. Seduce her. Let your baby sleep with you while you cuddle your wife. Sleeping in different rooms would not help you. She is just tolerating the sex and not enjoying it, thats why she is like a log of wood. Women love sex and would always give it to you if she is happy and relaxed. You have to take some burden off from her, you have to help in the house. Stop demanding she cooks all the time. Try and do the cooking, try and look after the kids, try and create that partnership.
You mentioned you never bought gift for your wife. lol. Great mistake. I will advise you go and buy your wife gifts. During Val and her birthday, I bought my wife a powerful gift, she was so shocked with the gift that she rendered my manhood useless that night. This is a woman earning more than me. This is because, she works full time while I don't. So gifts are important.
Don't give her food money bro. Go to the market and buy foodstuff if you can. If not then give her money to buy. Cook if you can, feed your kids if you can, help your wife in her business if you can, help yourself with the food in the kitchen if you can. Pay the rent and fees if you can. If you cannot, please tell your wife to pay the rent and fees. If she refuses, then na she go face landlord, na she go face her kids being kicked out from school. When she realizes this she would pay.

thanks bro, divorce is not an option for me for different reasons:


1. The bible is against divorce, I dont want to disobey God
2. What people will say, we come from a spiritual background my parents and her parents are pastors, alot of people look unto us role model.
3. My children, I dont want to deny my children access to good parenting, I am someone who believes the role of a father and a mother is very critical in raising a child, my dad taught me many of the values i have imbibed today such as confident, financial discipline, hard work etc. Mum taught me to be patient, tolerant and have to empathize this balance is important. I enjoyed this while growing up and dont think it would be fair to deny my children the benefits.

I think me, she doesnt respect me that the issue. if I sit her down to talk, she goes on a defensive mode and gives all me attitude. I have told her lately she needs to watch her temperament, even the way she yells at the maid, my children, our guard is strange. Very little thing she flaws up for no reason. Sometimes the way she respond to me when I ctry to give her feedback, I have to tell her why she is raising her voice, I only asking her a question.



Forget about the fact that you're a the provider, na she dey run ur home not u, she's the one in charge. Why haven't u reported her to her parents, don't keep quiet and die in silence.

You want your marriage to work very good you will have to be the one to do all the work initially, she will come around.

She's snapping something is wrong, it's a sign of being overwhelmed by a lot of things, why not find out what the problem is exactly,someone said up there her love language is act of service if you like talk from today till tomorrow buy all the gifts if you don't do these things in actions it will yield no result.

Actions actions and actions,

For e. g I say I am stressed and tired (or If you think I am stressed and tired) and you re not doing anything to help me out of it, you now say leave it and you don't try to make to take an action to at least ease the stress a little there will be a resentment and it will just keep building.

Sadly most men don't understand this.



Don't talk too much just act, she will notice.



Sometimes marriage can be the biggest political field.

like i said you are not doing your wife a favour by helping in the house. Your talk of surprising her by helping her in the house is just being naive to say the least. It is your house, it is your food. I am not saying you should not provide or drop finances. However, that you are providing finanaces is commendable. Your wife is doing same. If you divorce your wife now, she would assume responsibility over the house immediately. So is not a big deal bro. If you can help in the house, if not continue to provide for the family.
I am sorry she insulted you for going to the market. However, you are going to the market for you, for your kids, for the kids, for the family. You are not doing your wife any favor by going to the market. If she insults you for doing the right thing call her to order.

Continue ironing, is the right thing to do. If she deliberately leaves your clothes in the basket, then she is unhappy with you. Put yours in the machine, when you see hers, you leave it as well.

I told you, there is nothing like roles. She is earning, you are earning no big deal. This is the modern world. She is ambitious. She is doing it for the kids. If you complain about it too much, she would leave you and she has her own money.

You have to change your orientation about things so that you enjoy your marriage.

I will put 90% of the blame on your desk. This is so, given that women are easily malleable. So, your lack of grit (and ignorance in general) are the major causes of the nonsense that is going on in the union. A weak and/or ignorant leader breeds a dysfunctional union/society.

It is the lack of grit that makes you not have a set relational standard in the union in particular and personal philosophy in general. If you were to be a gritty man, you would expect and accept nothing less than conscientious acts from her at every given time - of course, without expecting her to accept anything below that from you. In the absence of altruism - or even in the presence of altruism - that is the benchmark, knowingly or unknowingly, of any true mutually healthy relationship, whether in marriage or any other form of meaningful relationship:

- In conscientiousness lies volitional/mandatory commitment to strive to do what is right at every given time. For instance, I'm yet to see the essence of having a wife that works and earns good pay that can't cheerfully and selflessly take charge of some running cost of the home even if the man doesn't want her to. So, ban her from working and earning money or discard her.

- In conscientiousness, there's an absence of indulgence, even though it recognizes and encourages tolerance and patience. Stop enabling her pettiness/toxicity. She's a choice of being a dutiful wife or an oppressed wife, or a divorced woman - the latter will become necessary in case you don't take delight in being cruel to a toxic/petty person around you.

Meanwhile, it's your ignorance that makes you fail to see that she didn't have an altruistic interest in you; therefore, you should have known not to have expected her to be caring, thoughtful, compassionate, and kind towards you without assertively pronouncing conscientiousness the bond of the union while the negation of it automatically means a declaration of war.

You need some grit to fight the war and discernment to win, or at worse, you need them to dissolve the union on principle. Living without minding giving/losing anything/anyone on principle is the highest and most fulfilling point of living.

In summary, strive to conquer yourself without striving to conquer her, and love yourself without hating her.

1. Sounds like you both are perfect candidates for marriage counseling from a professional marriage counselor — not some religious nutjob abeg. You should inform your wife and make an appointment so you can both get to work on resolving the issues between you in your marriage. It won't be easy and it will not happen overnight. Also, you would probably need to make lots of compromises but in the end, you might get to a place better than you are today in your relationship. Else, counseling is also a way to come to the realization that divorce may be the best route if you are both truly done with the union. undecided


Intensive and extensive counseling sessions! 😢

So, I am not new to nairaland, I only created a new account so i can post and remain annonymous.

I am 35 and my wife is 29, we have been married for 6 years now, we have 2 children a boy and a girl. We didnt court much during our courtship because of long distance.

I really have a problem with my wife and not sure what can be done to address, now I must be very honest am not sure there is anything I can do I just want to use the platform to vent my frustration.

My marriage has not been very good, lately myself and my wife leave like room mates and not lovers, despite the age difference between me and my wife she doesnt really respect me. For the 6 years we have been in marriage 3 things have caused all our fights: cooking, Sex and finance

My wife rarely cooks in the house, things around welfare are not taken seriously, actually in a week, my wife can cook for me just 1 time. She cooks for the children and baths for them daily, we also have a help who does alot of cooking. She rarely askes me what I will eat, honestly I always have to go to the kitchen to sort myself, sometimes I buy food outside from eateries and bucker. Sometimes when she cooks it usually very late 10pm. I have complained severally and what happen is she tries to change, after a week, we are back to the same state. My wife can do without cooking for me for weeks. It really really pains me cos am a foody and I knw hw my mum treats matters of food. she is this person that forms busy, either she is busy with work or some church activities, she always has an excuse. She goes to work only ones a weeks the remaining 4days are remote. To address this issue I now order soups from major restaurant outlets, An example is today easter sunday, I had to tell our maid to prepare rice for myself and the kids, cos my wife was in church, we all went to church but she decided to stay back, knowing fully well no food was prepared.

Sex: [/b]our sex life is very boring, when we got married we always fight about sex, cos anytime I ask for it she always complain she is tired, so what I now do is ask for it only sat morning, brethen this is only day I get sex. If I miss that day, it is still next week. We sleep in different rooms, she sleeps with the children in the master bedroom while I sleep alone in another room. I can tell most time she doesnt enjoy it and never ever askes for it, I always ask and initiate it. She just lays like a log, even kisses is a no no, except she is really on, which rarely happens.
[b]
Finance:
I have always earned more than my wife, when we got married, I was earning 3 times what she was earning, but she changed jobs and got promoted severally and we were earning the same amount. she also does alot of side runs where she gets 200-300k monthly as side hustle, there was even a time she was earning more than I did. I dint let it bother me I continue to foot the entire house bills. 95% of the enitre house of comes from me, she only pays the maid , buys cooking gas and my sons diaper. Every other thing in the house is covered by me, house rent, school fees, project, all the bills. I give her 75k as food money monthly. I have continue to question her why I should give her food moeny if I still have to end up going out to eat. I think the only reason she sometime listens to me is cause i still provide the finances for the house. The time she was earning more I could see how she belittle some of my decisions. I just prayed to God, cos I noticed the respect was gone, when I talk to her about her role as a mum and mother to the home, she says she is working, she is busy, I mentioned to her that the money she works is for her, she doesnt share with the house, I have never asked her for it and am not against her working, she however should not neglect her responsibility as a mum. That my role as a father, God helping me is to provide, and this is why I work. I also noticed when I got a new job and my salary increased she kinda off felt jealous she didnt tell me but i noticed it, she began to aggressively look for jobs.


I really dont think we have that initmacy, we are just there, my wife cant come to tell me anything bothering her, she keeps to herself. Funny part is she is a very religious person, my wife will sleep with bible on her hand, wake up with bible pray and serve in various church unit, I however dont think she really understands what she reads. She also has a very bad temper sometimes when I raise certian issues, the ways she talks sometimes I have to hold back a response if not the whole thing will escalate. There are days I will raise certain issue up, the next things she mentions is " let just dissolve this marriage as it is not working" sometimes , I just refer her to her bible cos the utterances that come out of her mouth makes me doubt her understanding of Christianity.


I have never assaulted her, we have nt had any physically fight, what happens is most times when we have issues, I dont speak to her for days, then she come back apologizing. Sometimes when am wrong I also apologies.

Am not saying am perfect, I know there are areas I can do better, like in the buying off gift, I rarely buy her gift, not cause I cant but Cos she earns well and I believe she should buy whatever she needs with her money my wife earns approximately 800k monthy.


I expect my wife will support me but it like she is stressing me. when we go see my parent or our parent, it is all smiles, they dont knw hw stressful their daughter is, she even forms trying to serve me food and all.

Dont get me wrong she has some good side, but this thing is really getting into me. I dont drink, smoke or womanise, divorce is also not on the table for me.
you're very stupid, instead to divorce that bastard you call wife, you're here talking trash, you're big fool, your wife is cheating on you,run a DNA test on your children.

I think your number 2 reason is actually your number 1 reason. If all you wrote is true, even if divorce is not an option, separation should be. It seems you don’t even respect / value yourself enough, so how do you expect someone else (your wife) to respect you?

Despite the age gap between you and your wife, you can’t take charge of your home/family and put things in order. You seem to prefer to live a lie than face the truth.

She already told you to dissolve the marriage, that is a deal breaker to me cos for her to mention it several times, she has mentally exited the marriage, she's only physically there, that alone has given her an edge over you. I'll advice you separate since divorce is against your rule, pls separate to get your sanity back, separation is not a sin.

I don't agree with your assessment of this. In marriage, ego clashes, and different stuff crop up. And this is when the "art" comes in. This will ensure that only love overrules at critical times, not ego.
If you have to resort to manipulating ego's in relationship, you move from having a healthy relationship to what amounts to a competitiive one likely with someone whom you already perceive as your enemy that needs to be subdued by you. That is an imprisonment not a marriage. undecided

1. OP wants the marriage to work because as he explained, he does not believe in divorce, and not that he loves his wife or something. As a matter of fact, OPs own words reveal he is a following a script and not reacting out of love in all he continues to do. Below are OP's own reasons for wanting to remain in the marriage.

The OP adjusting is part of taking actions which of course is a necessary thing but then if God doesn't build a house, they labour in vain that try to build..

1. First and foremost, God does not build a house because men request it from Him. Rather, God builds a house of His own choosing. Second, the one and only House that God built is the House of Jacob. That is the House that God took for Himself as His inheritance in the land of men. So, please before you run away with any soundbite that is fed to you by your pastors and mogs, make sure to take time to investigate what scripture really says so you don't end up propagating ignorant delusions as a result. undecided

2. According to God, and Jesus Christ, the prayers of sinners are an abomination to God — their sins literally taint all their requests and make them filthy and unacceptable to God. So you have it that God does not answer the prayers of sinners, not even their petitions for the forgiveness of sins go unanswered by Him. Now, God answers all of the prayers — not some — of the righteous and according to Jesus Christ, they are those who live their lives in continuous submission and obedience to His commandments and teachings — the charge to abandon Father, mother, wife, husband, children, friends, etc., for the sake of the Kingdom of God - Matthew 10 vs 34 - 39 & Luke 14 vs 26 & Luke 18 vs 29 & Mark 10 vs 29 & Matthew 19 vs 29. So, you see, your notion of who Jesus Christ is does not align at all with that stated in Jesus Christ's own Gospel. undecided

It is really best to leave God and His mention out of these things, particularly since what most subscribe to are instead delusions and not that which is in fact of God. Look at what OP himself has claimed. He uses scripture as his excuse to refuse his wife a divorce, completely ignoring the fact that Jesus Christ instead said in His Gospels that divorce is not a sin. OP points out his wife's religious background, as though a fault against her when his own religious activities which stare him in the face he conveniently ignores. undecided

It takes two committed and mature apple to make a union blossom..

That's not the case here - IT WILL NOT WORK.

Your situation sounds just exactly like mine. I have never believed in divorce. But God knows I have been pushed to the wall. I won't tell you to be patient and understanding. I know that for you to make this post now shows how deeply pained you are.
At the end of the day, the question we should all ask ourselves is this: Is marriage worth it?

Marriage is worth it..

The question should rather be : is my spouse worth my devotion and time anymore?

The reason is because it takes two devoted and ready people to build a unique companionship. The both of you must be ready for it or NOTHING!

One person's commitment cannot make it work..

So carefully rethink and make a better decision. Time is everything.. At some point in life, you must choose your own happiness and peace of mind.

Marriage is not by force.

Call her family and give her an ultimatum to change or you will be forced to take drastic action that you can't reverse.

If she doesn't change, get a new wife.
I have noticed that women don't behave until they have competition.

I took my time to read your epistle and one thing I quickly noticed is that you two are no longer couples but strangers, a competing ones at that.

You are yet to see her true color because you still support your home financially. The worst in her will manifest if anything happens to your income.

Whenever a woman opens her mouth to say let's dissolve this marriage or this relationship, I would go for it immediately. If you don't, you will remain at her mercy forever and all your efforts in keeping the relationship will be unappreciated and underappreciated by her.

One thing is certain now. Your wife already has an exit plan and she is only waiting for a perfect time to strike. Most times, they don't strike until you are in the lowest of your lows so I suggest you start making your own exit plans because this rain I dey see so, it will definitely fall. It's only a matter of when.

Shalom.


You have said it all

She opted to dissolve and baba was begging... A man can easily remarry but a woman with 2/3 kids, make she dey play grin

Appears he loves her more than she loves him and she knows.. Hence the nonsense behavior

Me I just want to clarify something, that someone is staying at home working remotely doesn't mean they are not working, infact why you are stuck in traffic they are busting there heads. So she goes to work one day in a week is not making any sense.

1. Most men who "easily" remarry find themselves in the same exact situation they left off in their previous relationship. So what good is it that one can "easily" remarry when by doing so you don't in fact learn from your past mistakes enough to ensure they do not repeat themselves in your next chance? undecided
