Yes. She made him a man by putting her life on the line to give him kids.

shegxi:
D hypocrisy here can be sometimes nauseating. See how people are conveniently ignoring d fact dat d wife did something very wrong.
The wife is now saint, d man is d bad guy.......we just know how to turn logic on its head.

Chubhie:
Sorry for the rude shock.You feel cheated right now that your wife over packaged and sold above the market value for her age?

You thought you were smart?Got outsmarted by the assumed weaker vessel?

I can tell you your wife is not proud that her sins has found her out this very moment.granted,she was over the moon when her dummy was sold at the beginning.

How is the body language of your wife with this discovery? Reassure her and give her genuine reasons not to further lie to you cos it insults your intelligence.

You must induce her to come clean and also spill any other best secrets of her.If you can get her to this state,you would have my respects.

Divorce shouldn't be an option.Manage this well as the man of the house.Be strong for her and the kids.

Passing shot......You could hear her burdens and stuffs that could break you and that marriage if your shock absorbers ain't strong.Dont judge her but try and understand her.

She would be lighter,more trusting and a better wife once you midwife her through this process.

Are you man enough?

She is saying that the same DOB were erroneously registerd for her when, perhaps they were registering her for both WAEC and NECO. That when the results came out and she noticed the errors, she complained and applied to correct same, but since then, the exam authorities have not corrected them.

Fadamant:


Thanks very much@chuskbogus2001. The op, has an issue and is seeking for advice. Instead of providing advice the alphas and omegas in relationship matters on nairaland are calling the op names for discovering and feeling bad about the lie his wife told him.

Lies on any grounds in marriage are bound to erode trust between couples and eventually destroy any marriage's foundation.

@Op, please forgive your wife. Calm yourself down and have a tete-a-tete with your wife, stating how you feel about it. You cannot throw away a marriage that has been going on fine before the issue of age came up because of age. Moreso, marriage is more than age. So forgive her and shelve the idea of divorce.

inkon:


Lying to ones spouse is bad and I don't think anybody is encouraging that here. What the comments above imply is that the institution of marriage was never perfect and shouldn't be seen as so. The man should have a way of expressing his displeasure over the wife's shortcomings and then offer her a room for change. Quitting is hardly the best option.

werthy:
Op, you have been enjoying a woman who is older than you for about five years and yet you arw conplaining about age wahala,


Its not even about the most important thing which is her respect for you


Bro.... you are still a boy...

Tired of seeing babies with grown fallangies inbetween their legs getting married because the feel they have aged enough

Allwility:
The fact that the wife didn't inform the OP herself of her true age but he stumbled upon it is quite bad. If I were the OP, I would be thinking about what other lies she may have told that I'm yet to find out.

Someone once said, trust is like paper once it's crumpled can never be made straight again. So I can understand if the OP's marriage will experience trust issues. The wife in question have lot of work to do...not the OP. Oga OP, calm down, divorcing her will be a harsh decision o. Think of your kids, you don't want them growing up without their mom. So chillax...everyone makes mistakes, w e just need someone to correct 'em.

LadyMercedes:
A divorce? Because she lied about her age? Seems to me you've been itching to divorce her long ago, and you're just using this as an excuse.

What are you more upset about? The fact that she's older, or the fact that she lied?

I think this is something that can be overlooked, though. True, it sucks that she lied about her age. But, you're willing to throw your marriage away because of this? People are getting divorced because of things as grievous as infidelity, and domestic abuse, and you want to get a divorce because she lied about her age? Okay.

Good luck to you.

nnamdibig:




Don't mind all these hypocrites, A wife lied to the hubby about her age and people are here calling the hubby names....
The question is
If the OP was aware that the wife is 6yrs older, would he got married to her?
Will the 6 extra yrs now make the wife older than the hubby? If so, what is OP's believe in getting married to an older woman?
Lastly, why will the wife lie to her hubby about her age? Could it be that she knew that he would not wife her, or she was thinking that is actually nothing to worry about?
.
.
Until you are in OP shoes, I don't think you are in position to answer these questions which means you have no right to criticize OP for getting angry.
He has every right to be upset to discover that his lie has been lying to her about her age.
Are we even sure that it's only the age that the wife lied about?
OP please just be careful on how you handle this and am sure divorce is not the best. Try and find out why she did such(that is if she lied actually) but in my own Waec certificate, their is also a mistake on my date of birth though it's on the day not on the year.

chuksbogus2001:


You are a woman if you didn't put just put female picture there. My dear The lady deceived the guy into that marriage .its like a guy coming to marry you and told you he works in Chevron as personnel manager taking you to his friends house as his until you guy wedded only for you to go home to his one room abode.sister are you telling me you will just pack in as its something u will overlook ? yes you love him I know but he lied and deceived you.its not for the money here but if you had know him for who he really is you would have been prepared for what ever that comes. The wife is totally wrong and any sane human being must feel bad and hurt about this .that is the appropriate reaction not incongruity of affect

LadyMercedes:


I understand. But, she lied about her AGE! I've heard about someone who didn't tell a guy about her HIV status till they got married. And, one who didn't tell a guy she was infertile, till they got married.

These are more grievous than lying about her AGE.

Ranchhoddas:
Therefore lying is okay...Everyday on Nairaland I get to read one incredibly foolish comment. This is the one for today.

Yet, you STILL come back EVERYDAY to Nairaland to read more "foolish" comments. That shows how "smart" you are.

Amelian:
Op. u want to divorce your wife who bore two healthy kids because she lied about age.? I swear u r not serious.. U want to divorce her before, fucvk this age thing u r saying.. She's fertile, she appears young, if not for certificates u won't have known..

My guy u no serious...
If u know since the day u were born, uv never lied before? Thru dating and now married to her, uv not lied at all... Then by all means go ahead and divorce.

But remember . Karma is waiting for u calmly later in life... Smhhh..

Dey divorce nah.

When men brag about divorce over little things it's so annoying..

jabojafa:
but madam why wud she lie? And u think 6yrs is 6day or 6months? Add 6yrs to ur years and see how old u wud become. Although d did has bn done but divorce shdnt be an option. Try to get over it and let her hope dt employers wud discover d age difference in her waec n birth cert.

emeraldknytt:
From my point of view, I foresee no deal breaker in your stale epistle. So far her lie hasn't affected you negatively or potentially, there is no reason to quit your marriage. Truth is, if you cant handle well something as trivial as this, I wonder what you would do if she told you those kids ain't yours.... .... Be patient and tolerable

Amelian:



My dear, everybody lies one way or the other.. If she looks that old he wouldn't have married her and stayed with her for 6years. Some men out there love and marry older women as wives. While some prefers younger. The op, will be amazed that if he divorce his wife today, somebody else will love and cater for her needs.. Have seen such scenario happen before, and the new person in this lady's life is now a younger guy, she's 42 and her fiance /benefactor is 36..and this guy is madly in love.. He takes care of her emotional and financial needs without blinking an eye.
So for the op, his own poison may end up becoming another man's cupcake.
Only him will come begging after some years.
