@allboyz, kai. . .no be only you. actually had to read the post twice. How do one actually get himself in that situation? still speechless

@poster, you have to say the truth. This issue is not about white/black or staying in europe but by being truthful to the one that has stood by you.

PS: still speechless, honestly.
Re: Can I Tell Him The Truth Now? by ifyalways(f): 12:46pm On Feb 05, 2009
what is there to be speechless abt?abeg lets just be realistic.
This lady here have said the truth and its quite understandable.she needed a stay,she needed someone to support her and her family,she needed to marry too so 
wud it have been better if she missed this guy cos of the family them maybe end up in the streets cos she wants to be 100% truthful?wud she marry her brothers at the long last?
Not saying what she did is accepted but given the choices what cud she have done?what wud "u" have done if u were in her shoes?its not like shes abandoned her family anyway,she lied to make things better for them.
@Plap,dont tell him yet jare.what he does not know wont hurt him and if the truths gonna hurt u,keep shut.

Your advise is the very reason homes break up and everyone is starts to wonder why? you say don't tell him yet? pray you tell us when is the best time to say the truth, when he finds out from someone else?
Why would you lie to someone supporting you? what if he finds out?

thank you amebo no 1 (you are certainly answering your name grin).
@ify
you utmostly dont understand what is called life. Things happen when you least expect. So she sits tight and comfortable now and bang, he gets to find out (don't ever under estimate that possibility), when she obviously thinks all is settled. She is thrown out and comes back to square one. Is that what you are advising?

What is the big deal in telling him the truth, moreso that she herself is not finding it comfortable, shait, why did she post the matter if its not boring her?
Let her get the burden off her shoulders and what will be will be. Her husband will not stop loving her because she has 20 brother/sisters, but because she lied to him about it. There is a big difference.

one should not look at it from that angle that the guy is white or not. He is a human being that deserves to know the truth. end of story. Put yourself in his shoes, what would you have done, knowing that your wife lied to you?
Re: Can I Tell Him The Truth Now? by JJYOU: 3:03pm On Feb 05, 2009
@plap, sorry this is eating you up. they say it is easier to tell truth than tell a lie.

solution to this is very simple let them know you are not working and unlike some other people you dont have a dozen hookers making money for you in europe streets.

only your mum is important in this matter. you should help her along with the help coming from your sister and the rest. it should not be only you and your hubby's burden. all you women lib movement you see what you have caused? we never used to depend on daughters for feeding.

get your sister in europe to help out too.
your elder brother is not your responsibility. learn to ignore him and tell your husband exactly that too. he should be told to grow up and stop gambling like there is no tomorrow.

on the team plus 2 reserve bench, you are not their parents so technically not your wahala but i can see why telling now is going to create some problem. walk this rope carefully.

i normally charge for this but i will give you this free on this occassion. try being nice and go the extra kindness mile until you come out clean. by this i mean no matter whatever he does from now you will/ must ignore to the point he owes you a lot. it may be hard but knowing you neeed the bridge yourself walk it.

you may also need to talk to your people that you cant afford to feed them and your family. and make sure you wean them of his money. they survived without it before they will survive again. i cant understand why some people dont have respect for their kids

she is not hiding her own child/ren for goodness sake. these are people she should never be responsible for in the first place. these people are unique. i dont want to say what i think of them.

putting a young girl under pressure should never be permitted

she shouldnt look for no job. her kids are young. she should cut off the funds they send home. she has another sister who can easily take that responsibility if comes to that.

on a day like this i thank God for my mum and dad.
Re: Can I Tell Him The Truth Now? by plappville(f): 3:20pm On Feb 05, 2009
Well i thank u all for throwing in one or two words, actually i didn't sold my family birth right like some u are saying, I did what i did for my betterness and for theirs, if u must know, i am the 11th child of the family, i am senior to two people only, Dad was that strugling fellow befor he died, he was well to do but after his death, things became very tough for us, expecially we the younger once, Do u know how painful it is to have a senior once whom were never there for u when u were young?? I droped out of school because i have no one to help. Today i sacrefies my trust and confident just to make things work out for them and some of u are saying, I sold my family out. shocked It's true that he who wear the shoes knows where it pinches, My question is for those wise, wisdom and matured people.

U don't understand, i saw hall and pains befor i left Nigeria, i ve always wished to study fear but i couldn't becos of lack of fund, dad wasn't there to help and the senior once weren't ready to help as they were been lazy to work. So i got the opportunity to make a good living for me and still extend it to them and u want me to throw it in the dustbin?? think befor u talk.

@ IFY i know u do understand the situation, thank u for ur advice, i will keep praying that God will make hubby understand the reason why i told him lies, but i don't know when i will do this. If it is God's wish for him to leave me so be it, but if it is not, he will only distrust me.

@ everybody, i am not here to exposed my family because i know how some members insulted me once for bring family matters here, if u ve bordens and needed to do away wit it, u ve to share it with people, and beside's this is a family section so i see nothing wrong in posting my worries here as long as i can get releaf of it.

learn to ignore some people here. if travelling was easy every fowl do we do chicken in naija now? would have travelled. take care of yourself and do whatever you need to do to have a happy blessed family. some idiots here steal and kill and dont feel guilty about it.

@plappville, certainly you are not looking for people to tell you on NL that what you have done is right? no one is comdemning you (everyone has stuffs in the closet) but that dont mean we should tell you not to say the truth.

Re: Can I Tell Him The Truth Now? by Hauwa1: 10:37pm On Feb 05, 2009
Plapp,
listen to what JJYOU said okay. face your relationship with husband and kids. i don't blame you at all i only blamed our parents for birthing so many
children. you are the 11th, you should be enjoying yourself and not put in the burden of older ones on you. for now face helping your mom. when you eventually have job then help the last two. the rest are older than you so don't bother that much.

again try as much as possible to make sure your husband is not helping waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. maybe seasonal/occassional help.

focus on your marriage and don't do anything that might bring a burden to yourself. remember you have kids. what's important is them and them alone. and if hubby money is going a long way making your children live a great life, why do something to end it? so careful and tread softly.

don't carry sibling headache put for your head. let your husband do small not big big o.

Abi oo, can u imagin? this habit of our senior africa siblins whom are dependent for all their life is very bad, a senior borther who have all the best treatment and education from his parents when things was good could not even try to make a good living for his younger once instead trying to make life miserable for them.

U know what, even if u cry on phone to explain things they will tell u that u are not ashame that u are married to a white man and will be compareing u to neighbours they know whom her white husband build mantion for her family shocked, all fingers are not equal.

my husband is still very young and haven't got that kind of money, I know two 9ja girls here that are married to white and could not even shop for themselves how much more sending a penny home for their family, they told me their siblins will not kill them because they don't have to give.



I think it all depends on the kind of family, anyway i ve taken a stronge decition on this issue, because i can't continue like this. this decition will only affect those whom are ungreatful and are never ready to do something good with their life but to sit down and use their phone to pist me off.
