I Lost My Job, Now I Am Losing My Dignity At Home by mylander(m): 5:41pm On Jul 02, 2017
Please advise.

I was in an employment of a bank until recently when my employment was terminated.

When I had the job, I took my family welfare as my priory. My wife and our only son were faring good, I always ensure we do not lack the basic necessities. Meanwhile, my wife did not have a job then. All the house upkeep expenses including the cost of running her postgraduate program were on me and I felt comfortable bearing the costs as the breadwinner of the family.

After I lost my job in the bank some month ago, my wife got an employment with the state govt. With her little income, she has been able to assist in bearing some expenses, even she pays for fuelling our car sometimes.

The drama has now started in the house and our marriage is on the verge of breaking up.

Any little issue, my wife will turn it to quarrel, different abuses. Funny enough, she would be referring to the financial supports she has been rendering in the house. This is a woman that did not work at all for 2 years and I was bearing all the expenses with pleasure. Now she had only supported me for about 4months now and she's is misbehaving.

To my surprise, my wife maintains a record in which she records every penny she spends in the house including food items and fuel. With this, she always ask me when will I pay him back.

At the instance of a simple argument/misunderstanding, my wife would be boasting of 'I paid for this, I paid for that....' 'If not for my support since you had problem at work......'

Please advise me, I am getting fed-up with the situation, my wife had changed totally.

So obvious you earned the respect from your wife by virtue of your financial capabilities then. Not as if the wife respected you naturally as the head of the home.

Since no source of income again, the wife feels the tide should change since the financial responsibility has fallen on her in plesant places.

Anytime i say love is conditional...
People look at me like an alien.

Brother, you have seen and as a first hand witness...
Your wife no try at all.

I am not married so i will not say much...
If a woman is becoming toxic, unhappiness has set in.

There is hope for the living. Some women are too selfish, sadly your wife is one of them.

I really feel your pain bro.But from what I deduce from your write-up I can tell u boldly that she doesn't love u!!! It's a hard fact to accept!! But that's the truth...To her you are irritating and a liability!! Please please if you can try to see if u can start something(maybe a business) until you're able to get another job. It's not a misconception,its a fact!!! Look when you love someone(weather man or woman) you're ready to share n comfort your loved ones both in sickness n health,in riches n difficulty. That's the way it should be... That's the plain truth.

Im sorry for your condition, but its obvious u have a greedy and selfish woman as a wife. Lord knows that i cant insult my husband cos of his condition. When u guys exchanged vows she forgot abt the part of good times and bad times so it is all abt her enjoying without remembering your sacrifice towards her. Keep the faith and hope alive God wil sure reward ur pains wt joy. remember the story of job.. dont loose hope. cheers

Am not surprised at all. Thats how these devils called women can behave.

you live with a woman, she is doing everything from your money and it won't make headlines, but when she supports a little, then it becomes an issue.

My brother, be patient a little while we await luck to shine one u to get sth doing. but meanwhile, just start sth no matter how little it is.

God ll revenge for u.

This is the reason most well doing men dont flaunt dia money wen dating girls. Like i once said "U know d depth of loyalty from a woman wen her man got noting..and d loyalty of a man wen he got everything" OP jst calmly tell her to b paying bills dat u will refund her back and start lookin fr a job, meanyl if u cn invest d lil u hv in MMM n b looking around fr anoda appointment. Broda if u finally get a job n she brings d list of fr u to refund jst tell her to giv u somtime, u shud go write a list of all u hv bin spending wen u both wia dating, all d money u spent on both white n traditional wedding and all d expenses u cn fabricate and tell her to pay up all diz tinz before u refund her money back. You sef u wud hv opened a shop for her or tell her to hustle as well or look for a job, its easy fr us to get a job, the make it mandatory dat contribution will b 50/50..or 60/40. men u guys hv com togeda to b one..forget dat MAN Provider mentallity nonsense. Oya drop dead n see if she wunt take care of her kid/kids by hustling. Op if u knw hw u cn start pinning ur mouth wen she talks plz kindly do. If she takes ur PEACE plz dnt beat her..Kindly n gently in a romantic way carry her back to her father/mother's house...dats our only refactory and reset mode but before u do dis make make sure YOU hv paid d current house rent and earning lil cash...ivn if its lil..Thank me later.

Its high time you men should stop giving us girls money but rather buy her gifts( d ones u cn afford o) if she cant cope wit it n she cheats or dares to break up..plz wit all joy.. let her go. She ent d kind dat cn giv u peace. Most fat men ar fat not mainly because of d food dia wives feeds on them but because of PEACE!!!

do u knw wat peace can giv? happiness, joy, etc..name dem.....well Op i undastand wat u ar goin tru. It gets into our heads wen we earn mor dan our spouse some/most times.

Advise for men: before u settle with her..make sure she is earning n make contribution for FAMILY(not only a man) upkeep. Marriages can b so sweet wen both couple take up home responsibilities happily because u dint marry her jst fr her to b on d receiving end. OP if she venture asks if u ar a man plzzzz denounce being a man. I swear dat will scatter her head.lol...well u made a mistake at 1st...dats wat Emeka ike is goin through now sha...so key into my suggestion if u can..d choosing is left for u

Bro the biggest headache in your story is that she keeps records and then she uses it to bully you when ever you get into argument with her

Now everything else seems like normal behavior of ladies, particularly the ones you started dating when you have already made something of your self.

The only solution is for you to remain calm in this period, perhaps these is the period you earn the tittle of the man of the house


I know what you are thinking.
If you remain calm, people and your wife may take you for a fool, but looking at the defination of a fool which is a person who has no idea of what he/she is doing. Keeping calm in your situation will not make you a fool

Finally, I know you will have heard these a thousand times, so it will be like music to your ears, but seriously you need to find something doing not for your own or your wife sake but the sake of your boy

Stay blessed

OK I get your point
But my comments was motivational in a way

Now the op is clearly feeling down at the moment so it is obvious he may not be motivated to go extra miles to change his situation
the wife may not motivate the op either because of her behaviour
But the son is neutral here, probably the only bright spark in ops marrige

That is why I used the son as a source of motivation and inspiration

The drama has now started in the house and our marriage is on the verge of breaking up.

Any little issue, my wife will turn it to quarrel, different abuses. Funny enough, she would be referring to the financial supports she has been rendering in the house. This is a woman that did not work at all for 2 years and I was bearing all the expenses with pleasure. Now she had only supported me for about 4months now and she's is misbehaving.

To my surprise, my wife maintains a record in which she records every penny she spends in the house including food items and fuel. With this, she always ask me when will I pay him back.

At the instance of a simple argument/misunderstanding, my wife would be boasting of 'I paid for this, I paid for that....' 'If not for my support since you had problem at work......'

sit her down... Talk to her about it.. .... She's probably thinking you've given up on looking for a job.. And that you've turned her to the bread winner.. Explain things to her... She's a woman she needs to be assured things will go back to the way they were

Sorry for your job loss

As someone said, tell your wife you would pay her back.

Try to fight less. When you finally get your job, do not pay her a dime. Show her your contributions too.
