Dear OP

First of all, pls ignore all these girls spewing nonsense, i'll be damned to find a woman who will look at this issue with objectivity.

Anyone who claims you don't understand what marriage is about, and yet will turn a blind eye to a betrayal of trust is simply a slowpoke of no equal, and should pls shut up and go sit in a dirty corner.

Secondly, I understand how you must feel,you must have come straight here to vent and may have said some things out of blind frustration, I feel for you really. But I know, that even you know, that divorce is out of thee question here. So let's leave that one out.

But how do you go on with your lives at this point? By being the mature one. You see, loving is a conscious decision, not a feeling. You're commanded TO LOVE your wife (irrespective of how you may feel) it's hard, but didn't you already sign up for "hard" when you chose to be a husband?

I'm sure that if you sit back and reflect with a clearer head, you'd realize that this woman loves you to bits and would do anything to make you and your kids happy. She's imperfect, yes, but that doesn't mean she isn't an amazing wife and mother.

She loves you mate. Imperfect or not.
And please do not start making assumptions regarding whatever other secrets she may be keeping from you, that'll only erode your trust the more. Most women do this stupid thing called lying about their age (and they surprisingly think it's an innocent lie) your wife may not be any different.

Keep on loving her, but do not pretend you were not hurt either, sit he down and REALLY talk to her. If she has any sense (unlike the foolish ones commenting here) you and her will get over this faster than you imagine and she'll respect you even deeper for it.

A good woman is VERY RARE to find. Trasure the one you have mate.

Good luck

pls o.p don't do what you are about doing. she may not be lieng to you,it may be an error from the school she wrote the waec. I have same issue with her, the date on my waec result is not my original date of birth, they made me a year and a month older than my main age. I was asked to swear an affidavit so I can be using it.

The mistake is so very possible!! The wife may not be lieing. It happened to me, mine was even worst Cz the names too were miss spelled. At the point of collecting my result I noticed the mistake, I immediately notified the principal who in turn gave me a letter "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN" I became a regular face in waec office all in a bid to rectify it but to no avail. I was told by the waec staff to get an affidavit from court to back up the letter from the school. They can't rectify it once it's printed.


But even if she truly lied, divorce is too extreme for something this small. Unless maybe you were contemplating it before d discovery. If not, I will say go and enjoy your marriage and forgive her sins.
On point jor!

My marriage to my wife is facing a serious challenge, after I discovered from my wife's WAEC certificate, that the date of her birth on the result is 6 years more than what she told me and what has been in all her non academic documents, including her C.V. Actually, i have seen all her academic certificates, including her NYSC discharge certificate, but never saw her S.S.C.E and FSLC results that normally bear dates of birth. Each time i ask her for them in order to compile all the credentials for job application purposes, she would tell me that her WAEC, NECO and primary school results are in a box, with her mum in thier home town; that she would ask her mum to bring them. I gnomo her mum lager came with them for her.

Eventually, a serious sure job came for which i would need these credentials to forward to the organization. She gave me the WAEC result with the excuse that age forgot the NECO and FSLC in her current office, which she promised to bring. Lol and behold! What i saw on the WAEC result is a date of birth 6 years higher than what she told me and what is in her C.Vs.

I called her attention and she started giving me excuses that hold no water. 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. I have not come to terms with the this discovery. I think this may cause us peace, thrust and love in pur marriage.

My brothers and sisters, i think am contemplating of what action to take against her and am contemplating a divorce, but our two children are still very small for this. I want to report this issue to her family and mine. Am gradually withdrawing my trust for her.

I need matured advice and suggestions that will see me through this.

Young man you are free to divorce her, she is a wicked woman!!!. Even when you caught her red handed, she still continued with her lies, no sign of remorse. Age plays a huge role in decision making, especially in marriage, imagine six years deduction!!! Many people are bashing you because lying has become an integral part of our culture, now, lie means nothing, but a way of survival for an average Nigerian. I can see your love and respect for her have dwindled,because you can never trust her, and you believe she maybe hiding other things from you. On your own part you were careless, you should have done proper investigation on her background before marriage. A lying mother can never raise truthful children, you can't give what you don't have.

Mr.Truth! I know u've never lied in life before but pls be a peace maker in another man's marriage ok? instead of a scatterer because what u sow is what u reap. It is a law! Am very sure that if it's ur own marriage. u'll not even see anything with what ur wife did talk of complaining

If she was that old and repulsive, would he have married her? Why hasn't he been throwing up before she gave birth to 2kids? See what you're saying. Fine..she told a lie and he found out, he should move on. For him to like her enough to get married to her means she looks younger than her age..so what's the big deal? For all we know he might also be a liar but has not reported his lies for judgement and you're holding brief for him? Some of you guys are just unbelievable
you're not him. You don't know how he feels.

All those that comment didn't address the issue at hand .you guys are absolving the wife of any wrong doing making it look like the guy I not suppose to feel bad after finding out this.what is there are other things this guy is yet to find out.I expect people to first condemn the wife for lying to the husband .in fact she deceived the guy into the marriage.if the guy is aware of the age then he can make an inform decision .

Now ,op I know u are feeling bad about this but you have to put urself together.has she not been a food wife to u? remember her good attributes and forgive her. I guess she did it cos she doesn't want to loose u.

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.... grin .... Be patient and tolerable




***modified***


Quoting lereinter, metallisc, danidee10, vislabraye, dapsonlou......
When I said the word "trivial", I placed it relatively to other pressing issues that ultimately lead to separation, severance of ties, divorce and its related terms. I want you to pay special cognizance to the emboldened words in the quote below...





If you read that quote comprehensively, you will know and confirm that the OP lacks ample evidence. He was easily swayed by what he saw, obviously he has had thoughts and doubts of his wife's said age. Just Waec credential isnt enough to reach conclusion, most especially when one's grand finale is Divorce!!! Haba, that is an OVERKILL. To me, age difference (most esp, unconfirmed) is a non factor to warrant such wanton penalty as DIVORCE.


Dont misconstrue tha message, amigos... Great day ahead! cool

Why is this an issue to you instead of the employers..?

Do you now realize that she was older than you or what?

is she committing adultery?

is she not a good mother to your kids?

Does her n@kedness look different or aged overnight since you Now discovered the age discrepancy ?

What precisely is the problem here? This is something that could be overlooked when there is love....

People are different anyways.. but i can only have trust issue with a lady when I have an evidence that she is "running around" not something as petty as age difference.....If She like let her be 100 and claim 15 for all I care as long as she is a wonderful mother to my children and attend to my needs..

Obvious lie story is obvious lie.
All I see is the OP writing 'thanks' to opinions he agrees with. A normal human being with a problem tries to view it from different angles and sometimes tries to convince opposing views to see things from his perspective. Hanging on the sideline to only respond with 'thanks' sparingly shows the story does not belong to the OP and is probably made up. Check similar stories on the romance section and see how thread starters engage; it's not an individual thing, it's a human thing to try our best to convince others about our predicament. No one is exempt.

As for those vexing about immature responses, it's what you expect coming on a forum frequented by 13 - 58 year olds to ask for advice. Some posters yet to see puberty drop their opinions on matters of marriage, how do you expect them to give sensible responses?

you are biased, why don't you condemn the wife's action then proceed to calm him down. ..women ehh

if a lady should scam your brother that way I'm sure you'll be the first amongst to shame her



Well my step brother was also conned into marry his wife way back when he was a fresh graduate of chemical engineering.. She is way older than him and just one night stand she got pregnant. She raised hell and brimstone that he must marry her. Our dad then detest anyone tarnishing his image. He then forced my step brother to Marry her. She works in a government parastal, while he got a job in a top oil company back then. He actually was very angry he married her but hes already into it. After 3years of marriage, oil companies were folding up, he was sacked.
His so called old wife, which I know alot of men would love to see her in such way.. Adviced him to open his own company, so that he will be issued contracts in federal level, cause she is a top staff there.. My step brother company soared, now as am telling u they have 6houses all over the country including Abuja. He has branches of his company in three states.. He is recently crowned as a high chief in his wife's village.. Both of them are chiefs... And they have 5kids now, 3boys and two girls.. all schooling abroad. But the kids visits Nigeria every year.
He holds her like egg.. No more shes way older than me again.. In fact everyone in the family knows she is his backbone.

Life place us in a certain position that there are things we need to over look.. And not hold on to it, as if it's do or die. The op's wife may end up becoming his saviour tomorrow.. And yes sometimes it happens that way.. Someone u lay off your partner , feeling they cannot be forgiven but tomorrow she may end up helping u when things are down... I know she lied. I know it's painful to lie.. Even though we all lie.. But mehn forgive and move on! No need screaming divorce!
