I'd recommend u giv it som more tym,if it doesn't work out pls leave,marriage is not a do or die affair-better be alone than be unhappy.If everything is as u hav painted it to be then there's no love let alone trust in this facade u call marriage.
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by tomidayspring: 3:13pm On Mar 13, 2010
My Sister Am begging you right now to consider leaving that marriage . Please even if you are not divorcing leave him for now cos you are already treating a STD, you must watch out for your survival first, that is the first rule of everything!

I AM ON MY KNEELS AND BEGGING YOU, PLEASE LEAVE HIM FOR A WHILE, YOUR LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT! AND GIVING HIM SPACE WILL HELP HIM CONCLUDE ON WHAT HE WANTS OUT OF LIFE!

God may touch him and he will return back to his senses some day But please leave.

Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by wumiabo(f): 3:37pm On Mar 13, 2010
This is really sad, but i will tell you as Christ said that "they that will live Godly in this world will suffer persecution". Any woman that will be rich and independent and still be married must go through what you are going through. I know exactly where the problem is from because i have experienced it first hand. It stems from your being hard working and having your own money. All his reactions and actions are connected to that.

Please try your best possible to make things work in your marriage as long as he doesn't abuse you physically and you can find a way around the STD thing. I can tell you categorically that if you leave and marry someone else, you will experience the same thing unless he is extremely rich and not threatened by your success. Your husband is just been an african man.

What i did in my case was to help him to be successful that is within my limit. If he wants to have a supermarket too, then help him. If he wants money from you and you can afford it, then give him. The only solution to this problem is for him to be as successful as you and even better. it might sound funny but i pray to God that my husband will be more successful and richer than me and since God answered my prayers, we have relative peace. You really have to look the other way when he does some things to you. Just don't think about it so it wount hurt. Find a lot of other things to occupy your mind.

I have a big but here, don't sacrifice your life for him. No one is worth it. There is no marriage in heaven, so if God asks you why you didn't fulfill your destiny, it will not be tenable to say - to save your marriage. Good luck girl.

@poster

The one angle a lot of people seem to have overlooked is that of his family, your husband seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place, on one hand he has a wife who he probably wants to love and on the other he has his family telling him he has made the wrong choice. My understanding of our culture irrespective of what part of Nija one is from is that when you marry you marry that persons family, in this case if his family keep suggesting he married wrong, then sooner rather than later his love for you will dwindle and he will start acting out.

You do not need a soothsayer to tell you your situation is a crisis. I will suggest as follows in the following order, please repeat even if you have done this before.

1) Invite him for a family meeting, tell him this is important and he can not wiggle out as he has done in the past, you need time alone with him for an hour.

2) If he accepts, recount your story, how you fell for him, how much potential you saw in him, tell him you married not because of money but because of the man he is, because you love him.

3) Tell him that you have both lost communication and you are no longer on the same page, tell him you dont care who started it or how it started, but that all you want is for you to go back to how it used to be.

4) Tell him to jot down the things he wants you to change and you do the same, please hand over each others request.

5) Ask him to assist you by pointing them out as you live through the day to day and Promise to assist him in making the changes you want. Please note that you are not allowed to correct each other in the presence of other people, only in private.

Please note that the outcome of this will make or break you.

If he notices how serious the situation is and he is still interested in you, then he will be responsive.

If he does not show interest, then leave him a note explaining that you are waiting for him to change and come seek you if he is still interested, this is the point where you move to your mothers house.

If he comes after you, then you have gained his attention, if he doesn't i'm afraid he was no longer into you.

Above all I wish you all the best

What is the greatest thing that both of you have (or have had) together ? Protect it with humility and with all your might and trust everything else to God, and this storm will pass. Bigger ones will surely come but you are building experience here smiley
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by JUO(m): 4:32pm On Mar 13, 2010
I am doomed, please help!!!! I have reached a cross road don’t know what to do cos am losing my mind. My marriage is a living hell and everything have turned upside down. My husband has become so distant, though we live in the house we are so far apart,
There is total breakdown of communication between us and he doesn’t ever see anything good about me. Even when I try to please him he said it’s pretense,

He cheats on me big time; I see love text messages from different women on his phone over 10 ladies at a time, infact chasing women has become a hobby to him, he insults me, slave me, He locked me at home from attending a friend's child dedication last sunday all my plea fell on deaf ears. I have tried to have discussions severally with him but doesnt even wanna hear me out., I try as much as possible to show understanding in every thing but he just over look. He spends more time outside than at home, I practically beg him to spend time with me and the baby. He run shift at work and our time contradicts but the little time we have to spend together he finds one or two excuses to leave home… sometimes he sneaks out of the house without telling me.

When I try to inquire why he has been treating me like poo he says am rude and I don’t respect him and I ask in wot way cos I really want to live peacefully, he should table my wrongs so I can make amends…. all he says is I don’t respect and trust him…… am really confused here. I told him that I want to earn his trust once more and cant just trust him blindly cos I don’t know him anymore…. He is so different from the man I married and to say we dated for 4 yrs and got married barely two years ago, I ask myself was I so blind that I didn’t see the handwriting on the wall or wot

He is so jealous of my little success……he wants me to always crawl up to beg him for every thing. I work I really don’t depend on him, infact I pay my school fees otherwise I would have long drop out. Rather than us working together he competes with me. Mid last year I told him I wanted to open a super market and he said ok, I tried carrying him along he never showed much interest, I drew an action plan and started executing one by one, he never 4 once ask about the progress made I even ask him to borrow me money he refused, now he see that the business is about taking off, to my amazement he has started searching for a shop to start his, I said lets do this together and expand later, he said he want to start his own. Since then he has been thwarting all my efforts to start. I have put in all my life and have borrowed from my office but he is just frustrating me.
He sees that I am very enterprising and he is threatened that I might be richer than him.
He doesn’t display maturity in handling issues.

Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by MaxLeo: 4:33pm On Mar 13, 2010
There is something called Divorce and it stems from difference such as this. Where humans fail, they bring God, faith and miracle in, I dont believe in that. If your husband is actually who you describe right now. Then he is not mature mentally to be with a person like you, he is meant for a low minded woman he can control. I think you are beyond him. Get your plan in place. I am sure he is on rent, cos he is a low mind. Get yourself apartment, put your business in order and divorce the motherfucker. You deserve better and mark my word, you derserve better from life.

Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by adeogunn: 4:43pm On Mar 13, 2010
I speak as a Nigerian man in response to this. I feel emphathetic towards you and sincerely pray that God may deliver you from the hardship you are facing.

I however will state this point. Most Nigerian women do not know how to treat a good guy when they see one. When God blesses you with a good guy, you walk all over him, undermine, compare and downgrade him like he is trash even though he may treat you like a queen.

When you now meet a person that treats you like "shit" you become weak and submissive and choose to stay with that person, whereas the person that treats you like a queen you dump. I have seen this many times and it has frankly become hard for me to feel sincere sympathy for most nigerian women when they find themselves in circumstances like this lady here.

The question that comes to mind for me is "How did you treat the last person who treated you with love, dignity and respect". God is just and fair, and will not let a maltreatment that you have done to another person go unpunished.

My suggestion for all you ladies is to appreciate the good that God blesses you with, because you don't know when the next "KNUCKLEHEAD" will come and scoop you up dressed as your "knight in shining armor"

Is there any way you used diabolical means to get him marry you?
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by dasa: 5:15pm On Mar 13, 2010
@poster .First mistake is asking for advise on nairaland.  hope u dont expect to get much. they say you should leave him. like u are just dating. you are married, YOU CANT JUST LEAVE. Those women who rush and leave there husbands because he is misbehaving are not ready to be with a man. its your home, its your man. you take control.

I support you moving out a bit. this will allow you space to think things through. during this period, you should take time and take care of yourself and your baby. treat yourself right. go out. have fun with friends. dont be sad. he will see you are doing fine and run to you. but divorce should not be an option for now.

stop begging him, play like you are emotionally independent and do your own thing.

You know the final decision anyway. you alone can make it. so pray, clear your head and take action.

Best of luck.
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by emmydee(m): 5:33pm On Mar 13, 2010

The Lord is your strength!! Submit every complaint to Him in prayers, and I assure you miracle will happen. Nothing is impossible with God, and He has assured us that once we ask, He will surely answer us. As soon as you realize this and ask God to take over, your problem is solved.
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by OBLONG(m): 6:23pm On Mar 13, 2010
I PROUDLY SAY LEAVE THE STUPID MAN----- however, if you don't want to, LIVE WITH HIM LIKE A ROOMMATE AND NOT YOUR HUSBAND-------FOCUS ON YOUR KIDS AND YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR FRIENDS AND YOUR LIFE.


LIVE THE LIFE YOU HAVE ALWAYS DREAMT OF LIVING AND DO NOT PUT YOUR LIFE ON HOLD FOR YOUR HUSBAND, LIFE IS TOO SHORT.


ALWAYS PROTECT YOURSELF SEXUALLY SO THE WILL NOT GIVE YOU AIDS OR ANY SORT OF SEXUAL DISEASES. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by Nobody: 6:42pm On Mar 13, 2010
I wont advice you to divorce him now, (but later u might have to) ignore him completely, even if his jumping on his head, just ignore him and carry on with your life and you beautiful baby. Do everything that is right and makes you happy.
Try as much a possible not to have unprotected intimacy with him.
Above all PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.


If he doesnt change after all these, i advice you to run for your life. Dont wait till he turns abusive physically or till you get HIV.
We live just once and life is too short for one not to enjoy it.
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by cvibe: 6:53pm On Mar 13, 2010
@ Poster.

To everything, there's always a genesis.

Invite your man out to that place you both used to treasure while u were still dating and have a heart to heart talk to trace where it all started going wrong. Only then can the problem be quickly resolved.
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by mecussey(m): 7:28pm On Mar 13, 2010
Well, I am not sure if you are good woman, but your post says you are; Unfortunately, good women fail to bad men and bad women fail to good men. You can simply leave, trust me he will beg you to come back. Most times, many things are behind sudden change; it can as well be a Juju. You sound intelligent, so I do not think you were nt smart to see what he is. Pray to God
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by pafun(m): 7:47pm On Mar 13, 2010
Like someone says why did you come to Nairaland of all places for advice from faceless fruitcakes ? In matter like these you have 3 choices : talk to god, talk to your pastor, or talk to your lawyer. Scratch pastor, his own marriage too is falling apart.
Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by abiabi1: 8:13pm On Mar 13, 2010
Dearie, there is only one solution and that is, PRAYER.
If u still lov ur husband, take the situation to God in prayers.
I have seen worse situation than yours before, yet with fasting and prayers God touch my husband's heart, n God also increased my wisdom for d right attitude to succeed in marriage.
If u leave ur husband and marry another man, what do you then do when the same situation arises? Do you divorce him too??
More so, there is always that time in most marriages, when u feel like OMG, i have had enof n u wanna give up, but God gives u d strength to wanna go on.
I understand ur pain, but take ur Husband to the Lord in prayers n u will see what the Lord can do.

Good Luck!

Re: My Marriage Is Crashing Please Help by Torombo(m): 8:45pm On Mar 13, 2010
I've been married for 15 years and the best advise I can give you is simply this - no matter how bad things might appear to be at the moment, the effort you need to put in to restore this marriage is a lot less than the pain and heartache of walking away, dealing with the fallout and finding someone else who will treat you better.

If you both chose to marry each other, then there must be something there that can be recovered.  Please pray hard for wisdom to determine how best to get back there.

Don't listen to the guys telling you to walk away because the situation is too bad.  Unless your husband has a mental illness, there is something that must have triggered his current behaviour.  You will need a lot of soul searching and reflection yourself to undestand where all this came from, what role you played in it and what you can do to help him heal himself and your marriage.

Don't get me wrong in thinking I am trying to put any blame on you.  However, a relaionship is between 2 people and when it's not working, there is usually something that both parties have contributed.  I can assure you that anyone who speaks to your husband now will get a completely different perspective of how things get to this point.

However, I will draw the line at the STD issue as my advice to fight for your marriage doesn't mean sacrificing your life.  You should abstain from any intimacy until you can be assured you are no longer atany risk.

I pray that God gives you the strength to overcome.

get a divorce.

being a single mum isn't the worst thing that can happen to anyone.
if your daughter sees you getting treated like dirt, chances are high that she would date and like abusive men too.
