Your lordship sir...Take am easy. Babe isn't your child...She's your partner in this venture Biko treat her as such. By the way, I couldn't help visiting your previous thread while reading this. When a man becomes a serial thread opener on issues relating to his marriage and the stories aren't jiving...His wife who's suppose to smell funny begins to smell like a rose. I apologise in advance Incase this offends you 4 Likes |

nairalandbuzz: Great , having eliminated that..then her attitude may be due to the fact that she is comparing you to other more successful guys friends so she thinks you are not worth to be the head of household. Nothing you can do about that than for you to grow some confidence in yourself. It's the society we live in now...so my advice is - do something drastic to shock her back into reality. However be ready for 2 results..either she comes to her senses to change attitude or she calls your bluff and abandons the marriage and kids. And note..if you do nothing , her attitude will get worse. Another thing ...quit keeping malice ..or whatever you call it, it's not healthy. |

Acidosis: You see, that's the word I don't like. . . 'Instruct'! I am married and I've never 'instructed' my husband to do anything and vice versa. I beg and plead and cajole until he gives in because he wants to make me happy, not because I 'instructed' him. The OP decided to stay with his wife when she asked, to please her. Not because she gave him an ultimatum. For him to expect that she's now bound to take ultimatums from him, for something he did out of his own volition, is what makes me say he's controlling. I am all for making sacrifices and compromises, but not for something that's so irrelevant. She's probably digging in her heels now because she's fed up with his many rules. And I don't blame her. 3 Likes |

[quote author=nairalandbuzz post=54124978] See I have tried in making her change but as said earlier, she takes the advice from outside as #1 priority. One of her single colleagues told her one time that "You better sit up else I will collect your husband from you". How did you know this? Surely she didn't tell you that herself! Are you cheating on her? Its not the communication that is the issue, but what she will make out of it. I see through her waiting for me to tell her her mistakes which she already knew before hand... Imagine going since.morning, coming back and noticing your.husband is angry, are you not supposed to trace your steps back? But if the seats were to be exchanged, she will say I don't understand her... I am not reading her.... I should have done this... Done that Well you know your wife better, but from what you've posted here I'd still say communication is key. You assume she knows that she has offended you. You know what they say about assumption right? Even if you're one million percent sure she knows, sit her down and let her know where she has gone wrong. It's an opportunity to keep the two of you talking. Quarreling isn't the worst thing in marriage, ignoring each other and living like strangers is. HOW do you communicate with her? The HOW is very important. There are different ways to skin a rabbit. If I wanted to let you know that you have a serious problem of halitosis (your mouth stinks), I could come up to you and tell you point blank and say, "uncle, your mouth dey smell o", or I could buy you toothpaste and tooth brush on your birthday... How do you speak with your wife. Have you considered maybe she's reacting to the manner in which you're addressing her. Even you may not know this because you're probably always angry whenever she offends you. She is your wife bro, the woman you've sworn to love and protect all the days of your lives.
Like I said earlier, if you guys stop talking, you might as well just file for a divorce. I realise that there are some naturally stubborn and annoying women out there who think that since they are marred now, they can do as they like and the husband be damned (remember we haven't heard her own side of the story, and I'm sure she's got plenty to say too). If she is that kind of woman, then pack her belongings and go and drop her at her parents' house. Hopefully the parents are decent people. If they are, you can bet that it's a wife with a better attitude that will come back to your house.

Ujoan:Abegi ... you proffered no solution at all. After God your husband should be the next in line not your father or mother. He's your head and the wife is the neck. Nah this kind woman yahoo pastor will tell madam the lord say you should do forty days dry and she will comply but if her hubby should say the same nah buhari im don turn into. When i was a little bit younger. I do leave home without telling my parents my destination and this brought about serious tongue lashing and beating. My father said something. He said son do you notice i do inform your mom my whereabouts and ask her permission for some things. There was a day a hare was captured and it was first offered to my dad but my mom vehemently refused because she hated the animal.. she even said my father can't use her pot..Popsy wey like meat die had to let it go because he respected his wife. You missus has refuse to acknowledge that this woman is uncooperative, disobedient, careless and she is already showing tendency to have xtra marital affair. A Yoruba proverb says " the chick is being protected from dying but it's insisting it wanna go to dung hill to eat. I had an aunt like your said wife and presently her home has been taken over by another woman and she had to pack away to about 2hrs away from her former home. Nothing wey my Mama no tell her nah alakori she be. The husband nah Cocoa merchant and one time Rep. So hawks and vulture plenty wey surround her but the people that want her best interest she pushed away. Nah frenemies Fvck her up at last. If Buhari can tell Aisha not to comment on political matter then who his your spouse. Nah check and balance marriage be and if your spouse have reservation about some things you shouldn't repeat it. I know some men whose wife hate their smoking habits, so this men smoke away from house lick the lickables because Madam like they usually refer to their wives must not know. If your wife doesn't take to correction then history is bound to repeat it self. 1 Like |

Ujoan: I can't possibly believe this...I mean I can't imagine that a lady will be supporting that other women can come pass the night at her place times without number at her matrimonial home just like that...Please I can understand if you were hunting for likes on this thread but we are talking about something serious here....Who was the person you referred to as the someone telling her not to? the husband? Hmmm!!!!! I read through your other post here on this particular thread and you mentioned that you were married...I wish I could see your husband..."There must be a rare gem tattooed on his face"...But please the fact that your husband might support other ladies passing the night at your matrimonial home does not mean others can support that..It is just common sense, a silent and unwritten code for most ladies....if u like ask them... And doing that can endanger the family as you mentioned..If you can go any where you like as a married woman and the man can go any where he likes as a married man, I am just wondering what will become of the so called marriage? 8 Likes 1 Share |

To Ujoan, I have nothing to say. And to Others like Mutiano7, Richy4, Ioannes, Goldenboy007, Berbierklaus, Acidosis, ToriBlue, 1miccza, kimbra, sexymoma, NotOfThis, Dyt, LynnPetra and freecocoa I really appreciate your input on this case... Well... I really thank you guys for the heartfelt responses as the issue has been resolved now... All of you have been saying many things but I have been trying to shy away from the word communicate anytime I see it in your posts... I have a kinda mind that rests not till something is calmed and it was really working all through yesterday to the extent of thinking about so many things I would not like to say here. Last weekend, I read a book "Husband and Fathers" written by Derek Prince and there, he mentioned the great problem some people has got, which is initiation. To initiate one thing or the other, which is a cadre I think I belong. And while my mind was not at rest yesterday, I picked up my Kindle to read another book "The Three Most Powerful Words"by same Derek Prince and on getting to the very first chapter, it states :"The Blessedness of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is one of the most beautiful words in any language. What makes this such a special and beautiful word? Well, consider some of the consequences that flow from forgiveness: reconciliation, peace, harmony, understanding and fellowship". When I got to that part, I stopped, remembered the communication part in your posts that I have been looking over, looked at my wife (because I coudnt sleep since 11:45pm till now even after using Lexotan 1.5mb) and I said to myself it seems this is what will lighten my mind... Forgiveness... I called her from bed (this is around 2:25am)... made her understand what the issue was and was still trying hard to call her to forgiveness till I ask her to lie on me... hugged for a long time and from no where, my mind that was so heavy became light as wool... that shows how much I love her... We resolved the issue and all is well now. Thank you reliable Nairalanders. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Re: How Do I Get Out Of My Present Dilemma? by Timbuktuo: 10:04am On Feb 28, 2017 |
ToriBlue: So, to perfectly understand you, if your husband gave you the silent treatment you would: 1. Bring your friends to sleep over in your matrimonial home even though he has been calm about it the first time you did it? So, you would go ahead and do it again even though you know your husband doesn't want it? 2. Borrow dresses and wear them been though you a normal human being should know not to and even after your husband has promised to get you one just like that? 3. Threaten to get yourself a boyfriend? 4. Abandon your kids for the entire day without telling where you're going? Ps: Nigerian women are becoming more useless as the days go by. 1 Like |
