Abandoned By Wife, Found Love In The Househelp. by simbaddsailor(m): 2:00pm On Aug 08, 2014
This is 7yrs now I got married, my marriage produced one kid, a 4yrs old girl. I waz transferred to Awka from Lagos. I met my wife and we started dating. Along d line she conceived, I knew I waz responsible for her pregnancy, I never denied becaused I loved her so much. When her parents confronted me, I told them that I waz in love with their daughter and would want to marry her. The girl in turn accepted me. I went with my people with cartons of beer, hot drinks, cartons of malt and mineral to do the formal introduction which Igbo people calls iku aka n'onu uzo meaning to knock at the door. After that I waz giving a list of what wuld be required for dowry. I travelled with my people to her place at Abia state to pay her dowry. She put to bed a bouncing baby girl. I later started making an arrangement for our traditional wedding. It waz then I begin to notice a change in her behaviour. She turned herself into anoda thing, dresses like a harlot and keeping male friends. She waz no where to do the cookings for me, wash my cloths and do the domestic works. I complained to her parents and all they say is she is old enough to differenciate good and bad. She became more attached to her parents and never cared about me and my daughter. Sometimes she would abandon us for one week in the name of acting movies. I stood against it that she won't act movies, I can empower her to do any other thing but not acting movies. Before I knew it, she started dating one man that is a big fish in the entertainment industry. She even moved in and lived with the man. I got an information and travelled down to Asaba to see her but she refused to show me where she lives. I called my family members to intimate them what waz happening. When we visited her parents, from their body language, we knew they were in support of the life their daughter waz living. We then left and my family told me to forget abt her, take care of my daughter and move on with my life. I could not cope with my job and looking after my daughter because I do virtually everything from domestic works, cooking, bathing my kid, taking her and bringing her back from school. I had to look for a househelp, I got a gal of 17yrs old and I registered her in SS 3. The gal waz so good, very hardworking, honest and obedient. She washes my cloths, iron them, polishes my shoes etc. My daughter waz so fond of her. I realized that I missed so much love and care while my wife abandoned us. I realized then the joy marriage brings, my life waz put back on track, I became a happy man again. What I like more about the gal is that she made me limit my going out and staying late at night because she always make sure that she calls me once it is 8pm to return home for my dinner, the way she serves me food and clears the table when I am done, makes me so happy. I want to be honest here, I waz carried away by her love and care and finally made love to her. I took away her virginity and that has made me to love her more. I provide everything for her to ensure she does nt look outside. Now I am thinking of making this gal my wife bt our age difference is the problem. While I am 40yrs, she will be 18yrs in October. Please before you people insults me, I waz blinded with love to d extent that her age means noting to me because she is matured down to earth. The way she manages money makes me to open a savings account for her where I pay in money monthly for our feedings. She withdrawals money whenever we need to cook, at d end of the day, I am always suprise when I see the balance. Now I am planning to go back to Lagos, I have taken her and my daughter to my immediate younger sister where they will continue their school next term. She calls me everyday to find out how I am fairing and if I have eaten. I don't know how to come out and tell my family what I feel about the gal because they may end up telling me that I am a mad man, how can I marry a gal of 18yrs when their are more matured, working class and classy girls out their to choose from. I have even made it known to the girl that I want her as a wife, all she said waz that I shuld talk to her mum. Please advice what to do.

First thing you should finalize your divorce with you wife.
has the custody of your daughter been decided? You guys need to agree on that so that whoever you marry next won't have problems about that.
Close one chapter before opening the other.


True the girl is too young. All the goodness you're seeing may be as result of carried over master-servant mindset that she's been relating to you with. She's yet to discover herself,so how are you sure she's the ideal wife you've been longing for?
I fault you for taking the virginity of an 18yr old girl. What were you thinking?

Anyway the deed is done. If you want to marry her and if she and her family agrees,then sort things out with your first wife and move on with your life.

The age barrier can work in your favour because some women relate better with guys much older than them.
It can also work against you if you become too domineering and controlling.

Just know that if you marry her now,you'll also play the role of daddy in her life because her higher education will be on you.
Between now and when she grows into a full woman say 23-28yrs,you'll notice HUGE changes. She's still growing.

Just thread carefully.

When I asked my wife to come so that both our families will sit together and disolve the marriage, she refused and said I shuld go and meet her parents and collect back my bride price. I did go and her parents refunded back my back bride price.

Then you're officially divorced.
What's she saying about the child?

She right now in Ghana studying because the man in question is sponsoring her in school. When she came to Nigeria for holiday, she came to see her daughter and pleaded that I shuld continue to take care of her, that when she finishes her school next year, she will finally take her daughter to stay with her. We relate well, she calls me to ask after her daughter's welfare, she do send tins too to her through her parents.

Dude, what happen to you is a fantasy..... At that moment of your life you needed a shoulder to lean on......unfortunately and fortunately for you.....you stood low to the younger girl, don't know whether your job stress threw you off balance that you don't have time to mingle with those UNIZIK girls at least..... But nevertheless try and finish the lollipop that you've opened.......yes you can marry her over and over, that doesn't make anything......but do it after you must have gotten admission for her in the higher institution at least college of education, it will be prestigious that way...shalome

Oh I see. smiley

So the only problem you have is how to tell the world that you're in love with an 18yr old huh?
Tough luck.

Talk to her mom like she suggested. If you get her mother's support,getting her father on your side won't be hard.

I still think you should give her a little time.
Girls that age can change their minds like underwear. If you can wait for some time before starting the marriage rites maybe At least until she's 20 it would be better (IMO) but now you don rush go take her virginity grin

Well just swallow shame or whatever it is that's holding you back and go see her parents.
It may be easier than you think.

He has to train the girl too or set her up
He may be back to where he started

Was the se-x consensual or did she feel intimidated into giving in as per her Boss

Have you spoken to her after that and addressed what happened? I am imagining how after taking away her virginity you guys will carry like business as usual

Does she feel the same way about you?

I am a little uncomfortable it would be different if you had a defined relationship, I am worried at the point when you had intercouse with her and what happened after. A girl of 18 hardly knows what she wants, some do, but what if in a few years she comes and says you manipulated her into the marriage or she grows up and realises you may not be what she wants?

Before talking with anyone talk with her first, dont get carried away she was doing her job, if at any time the relationship wanted to change it should be by mutual consent.

Yea the age barrier is much.
But we can't just rule it as something that will fail.
They have a chance to succeed.
I blame him for sleeping with her already when she's yet to cross the 18th line smiley

But it's good he's not trying to use and discard her.
Once she's past 18,she's of age so she has the right to marry who she wishes to.

I admit the sweetness of the union lies in the fact that she's so pliant and malleable for him now.

Still they have a chance to suceed.

If he's not careful he'll have the i-trained-you-and-you-are-now-growing-feathers situation on his hands in the near future.

Yes it waz consensual, I never forced her, we talked abt it and planned for it. Before them, she told me she had a boy had sex with her once because she knew I waz avoiding having sex with, whe I finally had sex wit her, I discovered it waz nt true. She apologized and said she does not want me to forget about her. There waz a mutual understanding and agreement in everythin we do. She has never for once felt guilty or that I am exploiting her. Its just like wen you have a gal friend and two of us are getting on very well.

Okay, but remember the girl as a maid and as a wife are two different people. She seems to want you too from what you have said, talk with her is marriage is what she wants then see her parents and talk with yours, Lots of ladies marry early, keep their homes and careers, Kanu married his wife while she was 18 and they are still happy to date, same with Omotola.

However, I hope you love her beyond cooking and cleaning because when you marry her taste will change and standard will upgrade, I also hope she is not using you as a stepping stone and "Prince Charming" to rescue her from all her problems.

That being said Love and Life is a risk, you are both consenting adults, if you both are happy then I wish you both the best

If this is true, then i bet that the girl knows what she is doing..........What kind of family is she from:average, poor,very poor etc?
And was that time the only time or you guys have had continuous sex?

What does she mean by ''she does not want me to forget about her''

On the other hand, maybe she has noticed your advances and feels that you might send her away if she doesn't allow you have sex with her. She might just be playing along with you just to secure her daily bread and education......

What will she even be calling you? Daddy?
Re: Abandoned By Wife, Found Love In The Househelp. by cococandy(f): 3:04pm On Aug 08, 2014
You have a good point.
And maybe the OP is still hung up on the effects of his bad marriage. So a good 'innocent' girl seems a prize right now.


But I still think they can succeed.
I know some girls that their husbands trained in school and they are still happily married.
That's why I said if he can let her reach 20 first and should be in school then,she might have gained some wider perspective.
he won't be guilty of marrying a minor.

We all know that age barrier doesn't guarantee success.
If they are good dedicated people,they can make it.

There is no one size fits all to these issues, some marry early and the marriage succeeds, some marry and it fails, some marry late and well exposed and the marriage fails
