Re: My Ex Or My New Man? by favorchild2017: 10:42am On Jan 27, 2017
How could he go so low and lay his hands on a woman? not cool, this is not good and it is a big warning sign and you reflect deep on why he did it, was it anger, was he drunk or under influence? Also be sure he wont ever do it again. If you are convinced then you can proceed.

I however still think you haven't disclosed the entire information, somethings are nt still adding up.


"My flaws... He says he fears me cos I don't talk(when of course, he knows he has done something bad or cheated me) and my nature, I don't dwell on things for too long, I don't keep malice, even when he wrongs me, I'll go and apologise, not because I'm happy or guilty but because I want a peaceful home... So sometimes he feels I'll hurt him."

This to me doesn't sound like a flaw, what are the real issues? And on the family planning issue, Why werent you comfortable with the FP? I thought it was supposed to be a temporary thing? did you suggest an alternative to him, or you just wanted more children? i dont think he too will want just a child maybe he was just sayin be patient, maybe after 3 years we can hv another baby. Or is it the FP method was hurting your body.

Also Some mother inlaws are just impossible to please, they basically look for issues, even when there is no issues, but the truth is as far as she is not leaving with you. it is your role to proof you are a good daughter inlaw and you should be able to tolerate some of these things. it is normal. I know wetin i see for my mother inlaw eye. But today we are very close. she even calls me and all. There are alot of things you can do to win her heart.

E.g frequently calling her, buying her lilttle things etc I however dont dispute the fact your husband too needs to play some role in making her accept you. But it is more of your role. They need to see with their eyes you are a good daugther inlaw.

Anyhw I still stand my ground these are what i think you should do. It seems like you still want to be with him, i however cant tell if he wants to be with you. But based on the fact you have provided this is what i wld do if i were in your shoes:

Think very deeply and take a position, no one on nairaland can decide this for you, not even your parent. The desire has to come from you alone, cos many people will give you trash advice. It is you that is wearing the shoe, and therefore know where it pinches. then do the following

1. Pray, Take what rightly belongs to you in prayers. Let your husband love for you grow and let him just begin to crave for you.
2. Assess the situation critically, where both of you are today. Do you still love him and want to be with him? Does he still love you and even if he is forming boss and all. Atleast you said sometimes he can be sweet which to me is a good thing, there are still feelings.
3. what were the causes off your fights and arguments was it money, disrespect, materialism, cheating, Inlaw issues, FP, abuse etc.
4. How well have the both of you been able to working on these flaws and negatives?
5. Look for someone who can you speak to that he respects alot? IF you were close to his dad , now wld hv been the time to use this relationship. you cant just appear and disappear. This is why we have parents
6. Let the person talk to him and dont be shy to say you are sorry, whether you are right or wrong doesn't matter. trust me he wld respect you if he is a real man.
7. Pray again before moving into the house and be prepared to encounter conflict, however be more determined to fix them. Sorry should be hard to say. Every marriage has issues, little issues can escalate so quickly if not well manage. Dont go about telling every dick and harry about your marital issues, as many of them dont wish you well. Even those who do, it is not all of them that will be bold enough to give you a fair assessment of the matter. And scold you when you are wrong. They will all want to stay on your good books and tell you what you like to hear. Even that guy you say stood with you all through ur marriage issues, i dont knw abt him. Maybe he may be the one for u, i dont knw. Even your parents or siblings it is not everything happening in your family you share with them. it only your husband you should be free to disclose every with. I say this because i learnt from experience, my sister inlaw almost destroyed my marriage because of something my wife told her. She went about telling the whole world and the issue escalated. Yes she loved my wife but in a protective and selfish way. Thank God for the Love we have for each other. This is why i wld have preferred to hear what your parents wld say. Because they are very experienced they have what we call "tough love" and see very far ahead. It is not just to be supporting you because you are their daughter.

Did they summon your husband to hear his side of the story, or they just supported you and believed every you said.

This was the first thing they wey suppose to have done, or his own parents too summon the both of you and hear the matters. This is why we have parents now.

Also the talk abt you wanting to clear your head and get a job doesnt count, it wasn't the best approach, taking 2 years of time out. Nt the best. Other girls will want to steal him from you now?

@favouchild2017.
Thank you.
His friends have tried talking to him all this while but all efforts have been futile.
As per what took it so long to start all this reconciliation process...I was hurt and II needed to be myself again...twas in this period I got a job.

You see, when we were together, I had no job, I couldn't ask for cash o, he will tell him since I don't work, I wouldn't know the value of money and hard work.. I did virtually what a woman should do, and one thing I know is I respect him, a lot.
But on days he abuses me, sometimes I get angry and lash out back at him.
Yes, he beat me up twice in the marriage.

And he's not concerned about my feelings, like for example, he forcefully had me go for Family planning, and when I complain about being uncomfortable with the FP, he starts yelling at me and telling me we can't afford a baby for now.

My flaws... He says he fears me cos I don't talk(when of course, he knows he has done something bad or cheated me) and my nature, I don't dwell on things for too long, I don't keep malice, even when he wrongs me, I'll go and apologise, not because I'm happy or guilty but because I want a peaceful home... So sometimes he feels I'll hurt him.
Last November, he asked me if I wouldn't retaliate if eventually we come back together.
I keep quiet not because I don't feel pain, but because I believe its better I keep mute when I don't have anything nice to say than to hurt someone with my utterance.

Again, his mum keeps giving me cold shoulders, I tried trying to make things work between us but it was abortive, so I accord her her respect but I don't go close to her...it annoys my husband and I keep telling him, for me and his mum to be friends, he has a lot of work to do, you know I don't hate your mum, but please talk to your mum, let her accept me, you can't forcefully match make and your mother but no, he doesn't care..

Sometimes I wonder if he's got bipolar issue, this minute he is sweet, caring loving and everything.. The next minute, he's like someone I've never known before.

Amen to your prayers, thank you

OK, hold on for another year, and divorce him based on 3years separation. Free this guy, you don't need him. With God you will be the best you can be. Don't ever think of sending the child to him or his mum.
Even me that I'm living with my husband, I still spend more than what he gives me for the child. Only a mother knows...so count it all joy. She will bring so much joy to your life.

From another angle, if you really want to be with this man so much, can you become deaf and mute to all his shenanigans for the rest of your life? Always turning the other cheek and turning a blind eye?
My mum did this and died of depression. She slept one day and didn't wake. True story.

You don't want this to be your story




One of my aunt Age 42yrs old too died of heart attack when taking her bath as she was pondering on how her husband was treating her. She was in the school of thought that she needs to make her marriage work at all cost. And she screamed, held her chest and suddenly slumped in the bathroom.. With sharp scream, her children ran to the bathroom, opened and saw their mum, eyes wide open holding onto her chest and gasping, before they could rush her to the hospital, she gave up. Her first son with rage ran back home, brought out a cutlass about to cut his dad but people held him.. Trying to. Calm him down. He was crying as he was cursing his father..
Smhhh.

Such wicked men don't deserve a wife, how. Much more family..

Divorce him and live long in peace orelse OYO.

Sexy honestly i thought over the issue...
This is a for better for worse case
Its good a thing she already knows the bad sides of the hubby this means she can manage him into becoming a better person

Alternatively she could just focus on raising her Child and waiting for the man to come to his senses...

From the look of things her Major complain is about her being lonely (sex) . There was never a line where she said the guy denies her of it so i suggest she goes to him for it periooically to quench her urge.

Lmao!

To quench her urge with a 2 timer adulterer who's possibly infected already! Clap for yourself!

One n just one thing alone guild our Lives as human beings: Our faith.
Not people's opinions, how we feel or the prevailing circumstances.

If you are a christian, u already know the only condition for DIVOURCE is infidelity.
Every other reason(s) is/are inconsequencial.

I know these r trying times,
dont know why u let this linger for two years.

Dont know why u went washing ur linnings b4 ur family members instead of talking to God bout it. N casting out every evul manipulation.

Dont know why all of a sudden, family friend is trying to creep in subtly n complicate issues.

Dont know if its because u r feeling lonely , u want ur man back. What happens when u get satisfied after a week?

So he blocked every means of communication, leaving u in a limbo and u just let it? Woman ? Wake up!!!!
u r still married to him n he cant be dictating wen it is right for u to come seEe him!

U know his movements from D times u have stayed wit him n u know wen to get him @ home. So gather ur garment n go get ur man! Dont sit there sulking !

3 things cud happen , the only one that matters is : u meet another woman in d house .......adultery n a good bases to file for D

U cant let him be hanging u and he is mos def enjoying his bleeping life!

Clear ur doubts once n for all! The answers u seek aint here, there r over there...so get up n go get them!

Still wondering how u were able to stay two years without eating another apple after tasting how sweet apple is! cheesy

May God bless u for this very wise response. My only fear is that she may be hiding some details- like the husband's friend snitching on his friend (hope he didn't slander his friend to sleep with her; its very common among useless men). Secondly, the good man she mentioned, I hope he is not good to her on the bed too. Because if a man gives u money and stuff, before long u will feel compelled to open your legs for him.
Marriage is not a bed of roses all the time. There are happy times and sad times, you have to take both as they come; but above all, living a married life based on Bible principles is the only sure path that can guarantee u a successful marriage.

TonyeBarcanista:

He loves you but I think he has this feeling that showing you would make you grow to be the kind of a wife his mum is/was to his dad. FEAR!

I will advice that you allow him the break and time to time visit him. DON'T chat with him please, you may call him to greet him too and send him text messages, but PLEASE refrain from asking him questions like "when are you coming back" "do you want divorce" etc.

As a married Christian, you don't need to complicate your life by thinking of another man or contemplating divorce.

To answer your question, he thinks of you daily but with time he will confess to you.


TO SHARE MY PARENTS STORY:
During the early years of marriage, my dad acted inappropriately by sending my mom home (my paternal grandma however accommodated my mom). I don't know how long Momsy stayed with granny but when her husband, my dad was tired, he used his own leg to go bring back his wife. Today, they are happy even after 4 decades. My mom was a Christian and her God fought for her! I can tell you that my dad knew Christ through her.

In your prayer, just pray that God should arrest him and frustrate every evil plan to scatter your home.

You both are joined before God Almighty.

I know some frustrated people that are neither married nor believe in the sanctity of marriage will laugh at the mention of God and prayer, but is there anything God cannot do?

God cares!

What exactly is this?

Didn't you read that her hubby's mum isn't reaching to her and the time meant to be cooling for the said hubby is being used to knack ladies upadan? Is that cooling off?

For the record, you can't use your own family experience to judge every man and woman out there. Kapish!

It's like you don't know the meaning of this quote. It's for better or Worse when something happen to one of them. For example, one of them becomes deformed, financially down, without a child and so-on. It's not about one member hurting the other. That's no longer marriage but predator-prey relationship/parasitism!

Am having a feeling there is more to this than the OP is putting up here, how can a mother ignore her grandchild for a year nt to talk of 2yrs. Is Op sure she hasn't done something stupid and she's here making us finger our brains??
All I av to say is be full of prayers and only pray by yourself or talk to Pastor or Priest that has earned your trust.
Some so called man of satan in Man of God's form are waiting to take advantage of situations like this.
.
.
Mores o, you need to be careful in your decision making, if you re moving on, make sure it's the very right choice by praying earnestly( I knw it's a sin, considering the fact that ur husband isn't dead yet) or rather channel those prayers to making your current marriage work. The heart of the Kings and chiefs is in God's hands. Ask God to change his heart, if you truly want him back as u claimed.

He sends once in a while, when I ask him (before I got a job) he will tell me the custodian of the child should settle the child's bill...and for times he sends, I use thrice of what he sends to take care of the child.
On the day I told him about taking of the child, he told me if I could no longer take responsibilities, I should take her to his mum (same mum who wouldn't ask after the child o) or I should put the child on the next available flight to where he is, so he'll be able to take full responsibility.
Hmmmmm........... He is not worth this stress. He is a cheat and u even think of going back to him?

[quote author=prestigiouslady post=53090114]Good afternoon Familanders.

I'm in dire need of advice hence my write up.
I'm a single mum of one, I got separated from my ex two years ago...though we are not officially divorced yet. After things got pretty nasty and he had to chase me back home (prior to this, my folks had wanted me to come back home due to his constant abuse)... I thought we could resolve issues, we both tried to but he's just like a smoke, he can't hide his character for too long..he's hot tempered, egoistic, and he can so mouth trash me(emotional abuse).he grew up in a home where his mum was the C in C, so he hates women trying to have a say.I must always do whatever he says not minding if I'm comfortable or not. I have my own share of the blame cos sometimes, he pushes me and I react back, so I'm not saying I'm a saint either. But my friends and family knows I'm not a trouble maker.

So I've been alone for two years, no date, no relationship cos I'm still officially married to him.. I went to see some of his friends and they told me to move on without him, its sad but they couldn't hide it anymore, he has moved on even so show casing a lady around as his new found love..but when things go down the drain between him and his gf, he comes back to me trying to see if we can make things work.

Now I have two problems here,
1. I don't want to be the one to sue for a divorce cos he will blackmail me emotionally (he tells everyone who cares to listen that he didn't chase me out of the house but I left cos I couldn't endure which is a lie from the deepest part of hell)... he doesn't want to sue for a divorce too.

2. I'm becoming too lonely, most night I cry myself to bed.. the last time we spoke, he told me "you're a very good lady, I love you but I really don't know why things arent working between us".. I know he loves me but I'm becoming too lonely and I don't want to cheat on him.

3. Around July 2016,a friend of mine (family friend) has been on my neck for a relationship, I've known him for a while, he was there for me all through when things was bad, he is a good man and he knows I'm separated (he's officially divorced to a white woman)...he's like everything I want in a man.

I really don't know what to do...do I sue for a divorce? or go into a relationship with my new guy for the main time..please help me.

Re: My Ex Or My New Man? by zheroes(m): 8:19am On Jan 28, 2017
My opinion on this issue will be simple but blunt!!! I have a sister inlaw who stays with the mum presently, always been battered by her egoistic and lack of confidence husband.

My advice. I believe you guys dated so you should have knwn his character but you decided to be blind to reality. I believe marriage is a do or die issue unless life is threatened and so it stands. You have to remain seperated from him for as long as necessary, as the same time I will not advice you to go into another relationship because your husband is alive. In life there is always a price to pay. I know you won't like this but that's my advice. Its obvious you guys can't leave peacefully. Don't get carried away by the external appearance of the new man. I was with a friend some days back who has een on a lady's matter , initially he was all over her now she begs him when they will see. The moment most men have had sex , then they become their real self. I don't know what your values are but this is just my piece of advice. Stay strong with your kid. Bring him or her up in a discreet way. Wishing the best!!! But why would a man physically abuse a lady? I ve never done it my entire life!!!!!
Re: My Ex Or My New Man? by MizMyColi(f): 11:40am On Jan 28, 2017
Blonchilli:

I'll give you same advice I gave my mom. When things turn violent and Godforbid he bangs your head against the wall it will end with sorry. Your loss. Making matters worse is walking around with a new girl, shows he's not ready to change and going back he will have a form of control over you. Men like that don't deserve a good woman like you, secondly you're an emotional wreck and getting in a relationship now would do more harm to you. Darling be a strong woman, divorce him and build yourself. When you see you can sleep alone at night without needing a man then you're ready for a relationship. 2 years after marriage is a short time. After breaking up with me fiance it took me over 2 years to move on. Because I didn't want to rush things. Hope you come out stronger darling.

The most annoying part is when he tells people that try to settle the differences that he will call you back whenever he's ready as if you don't count.

please how easy/difficult was the divorce process? also like how much did you spend?

is it true that if both parties are tired of each other the courts would still not grant divorce easily?

thanks

A counsel represented me once and I paid him.. subsequent hearing, he didn't attend on my behalf and I didn't either...so apart from the first payment to the lawyer, I didn't spend anymore money.
I only went after the divorce has been granted to pick up the verdict.
PS. I don't want to continue with the thread so I'll appreciate if no one quotes me again. You can ask me via mail though.
thank you

Good afternoon Familanders.

I'm in dire need of advice hence my write up.
I'm a single mum of one, I got separated from my ex two years ago...though we are not officially divorced yet. After things got pretty nasty and he had to chase me back home (prior to this, my folks had wanted me to come back home due to his constant abuse)... I thought we could resolve issues, we both tried to but he's just like a smoke, he can't hide his character for too long..he's hot tempered, egoistic, and he can so mouth trash me(emotional abuse).he grew up in a home where his mum was the C in C, so he hates women trying to have a say.I must always do whatever he says not minding if I'm comfortable or not. I have my own share of the blame cos sometimes, he pushes me and I react back, so I'm not saying I'm a saint either. But my friends and family knows I'm not a trouble maker.

So I've been alone for two years, no date, no relationship cos I'm still officially married to him.. I went to see some of his friends and they told me to move on without him, its sad but they couldn't hide it anymore, he has moved on even so show casing a lady around as his new found love..but when things go down the drain between him and his gf, he comes back to me trying to see if we can make things work.

Now I have two problems here,
1. I don't want to be the one to sue for a divorce cos he will blackmail me emotionally (he tells everyone who cares to listen that he didn't chase me out of the house but I left cos I couldn't endure which is a lie from the deepest part of hell)... he doesn't want to sue for a divorce too.

2. I'm becoming too lonely, most night I cry myself to bed.. the last time we spoke, he told me "you're a very good lady, I love you but I really don't know why things arent working between us".. I know he loves me but I'm becoming too lonely and I don't want to cheat on him.

3. Around July 2016,a friend of mine (family friend) has been on my neck for a relationship, I've known him for a while, he was there for me all through when things was bad, he is a good man and he knows I'm separated (he's officially divorced to a white woman)...he's like everything I want in a man.

I really don't know what to do...do I sue for a divorce? or go into a relationship with my new guy for the main time..please help me.


Thank you

I was in your exact kind of shoes and ended up with two kids even after reconciling,yet he felt my having kids will cripple my chances of moving on and having a better home but he was wrong.i have moved on already and no going back.

Work on yourself ,develop yourself and make yourself happy. Don't be in a hurry to settle down, Take enough time to study your new man without being sexually attached and ask God to direct your steps. Leave the past in the past and move on in peace.!

There is hope for you. Goodluck
