My Husband Want's To Quit My Relationship With My Best Friend. by Mma4luv(f): 10:15am On Aug 11, 2012
Hello nairalander's,i am married and i ve' little girl of a year and four months.My husband met me through my best friend whom is somehow related with my husband,though far relation,the relationship b/w the families were very cordial.After i got married to my husband,my best friend was staying with us until my husband developed a hatred on her,he was able to keep quiet until i was about to put to bed then he told my best friend that it's high time she left the house cos the house will not contain her any longer and the girl left.One day my husband told me to reduce my relationship with her and that got me annoyed cos i wonder how my husband will select my friends for me even my best friend i knew before him,because of my reaction,my husband then said i should quit the relationship.I told the girl about it and we maintained our relationship but i stopped calling her in my hubby's presence and she stopped comming to my house but my husband was never satisfied with that.As a result of this,the relationship between my husband and my best friends family went sour.To cut the story short,yesterday my husband told me that i will have to chose between him and my best friend and i told him that i chose my best friend since he has no reason what so ever to quit me and my best friend,i told him instead of quiting my best friend,i will quit my marriage cos if i allow him,he may soon stop me from all my friends.He then told me angrily that i can go on with the relationship that there is no problem.My husband's reason is that i respect the girl more than him and the girl's philosophy about life and marriage is tottaly different from mine.pls do i have the right to say no in this kind of issue since i know the girl cannot influence me in any way,cos she would have influenced my life over the years i knew her before i met him.Pls advice me

Dantay: you must be a big fool to choose a friend no matter how close u r to her to ur husband.
@ Dantay, As much as I don't support ha stand on choosing ur friend over ur hubby, I dnt tink u̶̲̥̅̊ shud correct ha wit such language.
@ Poster, like Chaircover stated, try 2 get d facts before taking such a decision. U̶̲̥̅̊ r a woman n u̶̲̥̅̊ shud b diplomatic in matters of dis nature. Its ur marriage we taking abt except u̶̲̥̅̊ sayin u̶̲̥̅̊ dnt value ur marriage. Dnt b suprised if this ur choice of ur friend ova ur hubby comes back 2 hunt u̶̲̥̅̊. Wisdom is profitable 2 direct.

chaircover:

You have already made the choice naw so what do you want NL'ders to do after you have used ur hand to scatter the whole thing? Do you want to marry your friend ni? undecided

Anyway next time try and find out why he suddenly doesn't want you associating with someone. in this case You said that they are from the same family so it may be something that you dont even know about. He may or may not have a good reason, but knowledge is power and you could have tried to get to the bottom of it before making a decision especially if this is out of character for him and he isn't normally a controlling or difficult person.
he was wrong to give you an ultimatum and you were wrong for calling his bluff. You were also very wrong for continuing to carry on contact with this lady behind your husbands back. The time and stress it took you to do all that, you could have invested the same effort into finding out from your husband why he doesnt want her round you.
well said!

@chaircover,he used to complain that i love my friend,care and respect her more than him and i tried to convince him to no avail.My question now is this enough reason for a husband to quit his wife relationship with her best friend?

But it is true, you chose her over him so you do love her more than you love your husband. When he asked for your to end your relationship with your friend, you told her what he said and decided to play hide and seek game with her behind his back INSTEAD of finding out why exactly he does not want you two to become friends anymore. If a man gives you an ultimatum like that(which I don't agree with it) you either shut it, tell him to shut it or tell him bluntly to stop giving you ultimatums cos there is no way on earth your marriage will stand if ultimatums are being thrown left right centre. YOU DO NOT CHOOSE A FRIEND OVER A HUSBAND WHO HAS SHOWN NO SIGNS OF ABUSE OR WHAT NOT.

May the love of a friend and the inability to handle your home, act like a grown up and make wise decisions not lead to your marriage break up.

As for your husband, tell him to grow up cos no man gives that kain yeye ultimatum these days without a valid reason for insisting on it

Ur husband must have sence something unknown about her or dream something or maybe she did something. There is always something in every action, you should have tried to find out from him. Maybe ur friend is given ur busband blow-job in he's dream., and u don't know. Semiler things like this happen many times. My advise is u go deep in this matter to find out from ur husband. tell him u are sorry firstly, then find out the bottom of this matter from him then we can knw what to say

How can a woman chose a friend over her husband in a case like this? Is this poster possessed or what? you must be a witch or a wicked woman to look a man you took an oath with before God and man who hasn't done anything to hurt you intentionally in the eye and tell him "I will give up our home and the life I have shared with you and our daughter to be with my friend". I WILL GIVE UP MY MARRIAGE.

I swear if I was the man in question, that marriage is over. What a stoopid woman you are, even if that friend jazzed you, na only you get friend? that you are willing to give up your home, your daughter and husband for? a friend that has no iota of respect for your husband and marriage. You must be kidding me right now angry

That friend will replace you one day, no worries.

OMG! @Op, you reason and sounds so foo.lish. Once again, do you say you're truly married or living with a boyfriend? What kind of stupid friendship is that? Are you that stu.pid to value a stranger more than your husband and family? Look, I don't know what to tell you now cos your stu.pidity is beyond comprehension
Re: My Husband Want's To Quit My Relationship With My Best Friend. by EfemenaXY: 4:49pm On Aug 11, 2012
@Poster, I think there is more to this than meets the eyes.

Firstly, I see the man's objection to your continued friendship with your "Best friend" as a veiled warning. You mentioned it was totally uncharacteristic of him to make such a demand, and secondly, this friend of yours actually lived with you for quite some time.

Do you honestly know what might have gone on behind your back, between both of them? How do you know this man isn't desperately trying to let you know that he wants to avoid temptation? This story is so akin to one I read here a couple of months ago about a woman who brought in her sales girl to help with heaven knows what in her domestic home, while she was out there "building a house". The husband kicked against it, the lady didn't listen. He protested, it fell on deaf ears. Guess what happened next? Temptation had its way with the man, he hit the sack with the sales girl, she got pregnant and before you could say Jack Robinson, the man had taken her to see his people, paid her bride price and installed her as the new, fully fledged iyawo in his home.

And his first wifey? She came over here to lament how she did everything under the sun for her marriage, built up their business(es), the house they now lived in...all for what?

Your hubby doesn't feel comfortable with this lady, nor does he feel comfortable to really tell you "why" he doesn't want her around. Be smart, wisen up and LEARN TO READ BETWEEN THE LINES before it's too late.

A word they say, is enough for the wise. Oh, and I also think it was the height of immaturity for you to choose your so-called best friend over your husband. Grow up pls.

.....and yet some women get married for "better or worse", lol!

i still wonder how you could put the two in a balance, and decide to go for the friend?! he even was nice enough to have her stay with you guys, but obviously you wanted MORE. if your hubby turns against someone, then you MUST follow suit for the benefit of your marriage, its no brain science!

you must have been in this marriage for the wrong reasons, to make such a poor choice....i hope you enjoy single motherhood with your "friend".

Lady for your daughter's sake pick ur marriage over your best friend for now. Find other means to flog your husband into his senses in future ... Your girl would appreciate a united home front in future than your friendship with your best friend. Do a background check on your hubby and best friend and see if they had crossed lines in the past!

@Poster, I don't what kind of relationship you have with your friend, but I don't believe it is your husband's place to decide for you, an adult, who can or cannot be your friend. This is why I have a serious problem with the way Nigerians define their place in a marriage. In about 99% of the case, the wife is the one being told to get rid of something. The husband, when told to do the same never really does that and the wife is forced to accept that. And honestly, this should be what should happen with the woman too.

Marriage is not supposed to become an EITHER OR situation. Because even though you are married, you are still alive to the world around you, and you still have to live your own life,have your own friends, your own click/club/group. You do not have to share friends with your spouse, unless you plan is to build a cage for yourself there.

Here's the beautiful thing of what the Bible says of this. I think your husband is wrong in trying to have you choose between him and your friend. And I would take this to some pastor or something to try to talk to him . . get him to understand HE DOES NOT HAVE THAT RIGHT.

In my opinion this poster did not do wrong in standing up for herself when commanded to cut off ties with her friend like that without being given a cogent reason. Husbands should treat their wives respectfully like the partner they are. They should have handled this better and not allowed matter reach an extent where the two are drawing swords and warring to know who will back down first. Poster on the other hand you mustn't choose others over your husband when matters get to a head, it will be nice if you employ the use of soft words to retract your statement and make him realize that he still means much to you.

If I were you I will be working at finding out what is really going on between your husband and your friend. Your story sounded like there are more to it than you know. It can be a family feud as you mentioned that they were a bit related or it can be something else that when you know better you may be able to understand things clearly. A friend that brought the two of you together deserves better treatment than being dumped away over unserious matter unless she poses a danger to your union.
Re: My Husband Want's To Quit My Relationship With My Best Friend. by Ivynwa(f): 1:52am On Aug 13, 2012
On another note poster, it isn't the best to have female friends living with you and your husband for a long time. I am not saying that you shouldn't offer shelter to a friend in times of need but having to live with female friends for a long time is not the best. According to you she lived with you to the point that your husband had to tell her that the home cannot contain her anymore.
Go through the forum very well and you may come across threads where husbands have impregnated female maids, wife's sister etc. If your friend has accommodation issue, you can help her get accommodation else where not accommodate her in your home.

If that is the case, why has the husband chosen to hide it from her? Or it could be that the husband is the one who tried and failed to have sex with the friend, and just wants to be rid of her before she opens her mouth. undecided undecided undecided

I think there is something beyond your explanation. Maybe you are a lesbian hence your action to chose your friend to your husband. There must be something beyond this because your husband must have noticed something in between you and these your so called friends. You are not clean at all. ou have something hidden

a) where did I say you choose between your friend and your husband? And Why in the world is a mere "don't keep this person as friend" elevated to choosing between your friend and your husband? Do you realize how inane that even sounds??

b) She is married, not shackled. She is allowed to have her OWN friends, not friends her husband approves. When we are kids, we allow our parents have a say in the kind of friends we can have because we do not know better. This is a grown up woman being told she can not have A and B as friends, by someone who is not her father or her mother. Just because you share the same bed with someone does not then mean you also have the right to DICTATE to them who they can befriend and who they cannot.

When we did that as kids, when we thought we could tell our friends who they could be friends with and who they could not, what did we consider that? Why now sanction that behavior in a grown-up relationship with two equal adults who now know that behavior to be wrong?
Re: My Husband Want's To Quit My Relationship With My Best Friend. by Afamdman(m): 5:08pm On Aug 13, 2012
So let me ask you as a woman and you see the kind of friend that your husband follows, let me paint a picture,your husbands best friend in which they are alsways together is a womaniser, beer palour dude a cheat and liar, so you tell me you will not voice ur concern to your husband about such a friend and infact not put ur foot down that he doesn't move with such a friend again or even go as far as telling him its either you quit your friend or I leave this marriage.
