He was very caring, loving and s choir member, I thought he loved me. Then we will sit and plan everything together discuss, I was in Love not until hi pregnancy.... You won't understand sometimes I feel he was pretending, sometimes I wonder if it's spiritual...

No one is born again if they are still fornicating.

Only a pretender would be raising up holy hands in the choir stand and be living a life contrary to the scriptures.

The Bible says "if the foundation be destroyed, what will the righteous do?" I believe you both need to trace your steps back to God. Put Him in the centre of your marriage. Seek counselling from older couples in your church and maybe involve your pastors in the counselling sessions.

Marital crisis are not a war you fight physically and with insults. It is a war you fight with wisdom and on your knees.

God help you sis.

Thank you.

I'm reading and learning, my father and mother are still together and my sister is still married. I just feel I will be looked as s failure...

He makes my child, I see the bond and I love it, if I I lesve the won't be so close. I want to give my child s sibling, he is always crying for someone to play with.
I want to leave with two children, because I do notvwsnt to remarry if this marriage fails.

Oh God!!! You really do need a therapist ASAP. I thought that it was a minor issue but your reasoning makes me wonder if u were up to 23yrs...

So the fact that your parents still maintain their relationship and your siblings is still married made u seem to be a failure if u dissolve your relationship right?

Look it doesn't work that way. What matters is your happiness and what you wanted in life... putting others too into consideration... Both of you needs couple therapy...

And FYI, u can't bring another kid into a toxic environment. Work out your issues first..

I got married about five years ago to my friend becsuse I got pregnant...
We were really good friends, infsct best friends and I shared everything with him, I told him everything. While dating I was sick and diagnosed with cancer and ovarian cyst and I got to know that I may find it difficult to get pregnant. Stupid me confided in him that Im scarred I may not be able to get pregnant and we should try. And then I got pregnant and I was like okay fine what's the big deal we are both working and in love, let's get married and have the child but he said I should abort the baby.
I told him no but if he does not want to get married to me fine. So many bullshit later, we got married and it's been hell.
I have endured every bullshit possible beatings, neglect, insults and all that. But I have not been innocent too I've been abusive too.
If you ask me I'll say he provoked me but if you ask him he'll say I provoked him.

He says I don't respect him but I tell him he can't force me to respect him, he has to earn it.
For example, he does not do any housechore , no not even one although I don't really care much because I have someone thst helps me out but I've asked him to take care of his clothes which he does not, scatters his clothes like s child and just wants to sit and press his phone all day then hang out.
We both work and he earns better right now, but I'm 80oercent provide for the upkeep for our home, 99oercent of the furniture and appliances in our home was bought by me. He constantly accuse me of cheating when I don't go anywhere at all, I go to work, my shop and straight back home. He keeps late night and comes back to call me s prostitute and I'm like I sit at home but you go out but somehow I'm the prostitute.
When I'm angry I insult him so much and then he hits me, I insult him because I'm frustrated.
I go out there hustle so hard but I'm been ridiculed..

I told him let's have one more child to make it two but he said no that he is notsure , he is never sure about anything, very slow. I still want to have one more child with him because I want all my kids to have one Father but he says his not ready. When will you be ready, he does not know...

My family thinks I'm crazy to still be with him but I don't want my son to grow from s broken home, I don't want my kids to have different fathers, I actually still do love him and although it may be foolish of me, I somehow believe he will change.
I've prayed, cried, fasted but there is absolutely no difference. People tell me I this is how cross river men are but for how long will I continue, he is seven years older than me but behaves like s child with no future plan. I really confused and sincerely tired.

Really if you are tired of him, you don't have to put up with excesses, give him a break and leave him, that's if what you pointed out is true. But I wanna ask, were you the one who forced him into this marriage? Cause with the look of things, it seems you are the one.

Thank you, I know my faults and I've been working on it for one year, it's not easy sometimes I just burst out from frustration.
Trust me, I'm trying but it's not easy, I'll try harder.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the man and woman, my dear it's not been easy...

I see you trying. Well done sis.
Read books on the Male and female energy so that you can be the woman and he will be the man. For him to have a good paying job - means he is a man and responsible too.
Let him be that man for you, talk to him as you will take to your boss but with cleavage and bumshort.
Give him food like a king, he should have a special plate, cup, chair etc and just stroke his ego at every chance.
It will take time for him to genuinely trust you again o because too much damage but if you want him - keep at it. If he is trying to provoke you start crying and take on the damsel in distress mode rather than the witch mode.
If you must abuse him say things like just because you are bigger and stronger and richer than me you want to be cheating me ... it is not fair.
Stop buying things in the house, ask him nicely so that he too will have property in the house -making it harder for him to check out
Stop that nonsense of competing with him- you are not a man. Act a little helpless and need that man. Send sweet text messages. Let him know you can not afford to lose him. Stop making him feel he is just there to help you make babies. No baby talk at all... if you use your female wiles well he will be the one to fcccuuk you into pregnancy. Love is very powerful. Use it.

You have a man who has a good job. That is 80%

About house chores, it is men who have no finance power that are forced to do house chores or in the abroad where they have no help. Cover his weakness of untidyness with your tidiness.

Some other woman will take that man in and he will be for her everything you have been dying for him to be for you because she will string his guitar properly.

What you will gain- a man that works as a machine for you so you dont age quickly, a man that adores you back.

You are equal but he is the head. Treat him that way geniunely for 6months straight.

PS this advice is not for women with men who are not financial capable o. Give those ones a broom and mop o. Let them sweep the whole street.
Thanks

Women and stubborn stupîdity.
It baffles me how you people want to compete with someone you can never win...
As long as a guy has small change in his pocket, good-looking and healthy, he'll always have the advantage.

You people have the key to getting what you want but just to pay small sacrifice (humble, obedience and sacrifice), you don't want to ever do it.
You want to be treated like a queen but can not treat someone like a king.
You know what you want and you have the key and power to get it. JUST HUMBLE YOURSELF FOR SOMETIME!
When get what you want then you can continue your madness if you love Chao more than peace.

Thank you all. I'm reading and I totally appreciate.
I know I have to learn how to be humble but trust me it's easy to lie and say I can or I will but. It's not.
Wwe had no settee when we got married and I was like let's work on this it will be nice, he said okay but no real plans to do, I had to save and get it.

The same with the generator, our television, our sir conditioner, our fans, even stabilizer, even extensions. Our gas cylinder was stolen but I had to replace it,
I do sell these with joy because I want to make my home comfortable but when I see men struggle to put their home together I feel jealous, my mom said I should stop buying properties but I can't, how will I see something that is good for my home and not do it.
I've calmly asked him why he does not think about providing these things for us. Even when these things get bad, he will ignore not until I quarrels and shout or report to people before he will grudgingly do it.

I'll try to be humble but trust me it's not easy, I told him just play your role small and I will worship you because with all I'm going true it's difficult because I'll just pretend and be cursing you in my mind.
When I hustle and save to get these things, I'm never appreciated. I'm not boasting but I just felt like explaining how I truly feel...

Dude is obviously too young or not yet ready to get married but you coerced him with pregnancy, still your abusive and nagging mouth won't let him round off his adolescent life in peace by not letting him drink small stout and keep cup.

Well, all you can do is to wait for him to grow up or you take a hike. undecided

1. You used him to test if you could get pregnant because you were diagnosed with cancer and ovarian cysts.

2. By some miracle you got pregnant and he told you not to keep it, which makes sense, considering that you told him you only wanted to test pregnancy was possible.

3. You came up with the idea of marriage because of the pregnancy, he said no, that was not the plan.

4. He finally decided to marry you, probably out of the goodwill of his heart just to avoid being a baby daddy.

5. Both of you are abusive to each other in the marriage and depending on who you ask, either of you will say the other person provoked it.

6. On top of all these problems, you still asked him to shoot into you again because you want a second child with the same man you literally hoodwinked into the first pregnancy and subsequent marriage.

7. He has told you to do whatever you want with other men since you claim to be very attractive and a good catch.



Well, my observation here is very simple - it's either you have concocted a very good story OR you have fungus growing in the space your brain ought to be in, since you still can't see what the problem is.
If a man marries a lady he doesn't love,she will suffer...that is why it is best for a man to act at will.
I have never seen a marriage that came about because the man was guilt-tripped or pressured into marrying a lady that is sweet.
A woman can manage a man that she doesn't love as long he treats her well,but no matter what a lady does for a man that doesn't love her, she will still shed tears

@confusedwoman!Well theres alot of mistake been done already.my best advice is to talk to a marriage counselor not even ur pastor.most times it's always not rosy but as far my concern your condition dont need too much stress and all the anxiety..

And having another kid isnt a bad idea but dont you think you are rushing things ,even if your husband loves you ,ofwhich I think he does, your act shows him you are just been selfish, and care alone of your feelings and wants.
Have you thought about how hes feeling?and coping with the fact that one day he might just lose you.

Dear OP! This man loves you, how many men will learn you have such a disease that has no cure,then go ahead and impregnate you and then marry you,and one day if a miracle dont happen ,he becomes a widower with a burden of raising his kids alone.pls be considerate and work on yourself ,live the best moments with him and ur kid,respect him,love him like never before,spend time with him,give him that beautiful memory.

I've asked for s separation but he said no, we should live together and maybe one day thevlove will grow back.

I said okay let's have one child together while waiting for the love to grow back, he said he is not sure.
When I make move to leave, he will act nice and treat me nicely and later he will go back to normal.
You said he was your friend and lovely but you didn't know him. I see you were too blinded by love. That someone is a good friend doesn't mean he/she is good for marriage. You were looking at he is a church choir member, gist with you and nonsense. Was he not also not unserious about life generally then? Was he the one doing house chores then? I bet you also shouldered the bulk financial responsibilities in the name of he didn't have much.

Look, you lived your life with too much fear and Landed into a bigger problem. Now you are continuing with more fearful living. If you had sense then you would have asked him to marry you first since you claimed he was perfect and all but you asked for pregnancy first because you knew the implication of waiting for marriage from an unserious someon like him.

Now you want to have all your children from him not minding he can beat out that womb you want to use or that you can deprive your child of a mother by the time he kills you because you so wanted to give him a father. Only one child you are frustrated already and you are decieving yourself that when it's two you won't send him when I can see that your frustrations will double and you will provoke him to main or kill you.

That dude is not ready for marriage life, he is feeling you may have rushed him to make mistake and yet keeping you in case he is the one wrong. He is both eating his cake and having it because you gave him yours. He is living his life, you are wasting yours. You are nearly dead to sex, next you would be dead to your senses that tells you something is not wrong with you for asking for things to be done right. They are already telling you to swallow every shiit he gives you, then you will only see shiit as good eventually.

Separate from him and let him decided if he wants you this time but no you want to die there.

There is no two yardsticks for marriage. Her friend has turned to her headache.

All I see here is a woman who out of her desperation took advantage of a friend who cared so much for her.
1) you lured him to sleep with you in a bid to check if you will get pregnant, he barely resisted.
2) you got pregnant and moved the topic to marriage, dude did a lot of fighting with his mind and decided to marry you, because he still had that soft spot of not to hurt a friend.
3) you entered marriage and started been verbally abusive, how can you constantly do that to a man and expect love in return.
This is the mistake most women make and until you are punished to the extreme you never learn.
4) your family is even suprised you are still with him, meaning you have sold him to ur family and rubbished his image because you have no value for him. You no try
5) its a good thing he still dots on his kid, he has transfered all his love to his kid, he also cares about the child's sanity so he is not planning to leave you.
6) you deserve the sexual torture you are getting now, sex comes with a lot of happy alignment from the heart. How can you allow a baby, a man u see as a baby to climb you. And am sure you have told him to his face that he acts like a baby.

My advice.
1)Retrace your steps and control your mouth.
2) stop been abusive verbally to your husband. Control your mouth and learn to be tolerant as if you seek change, then be ready to endure.
3) then never take ur house matter to your family again, and just know that u have spoilt the relationship between ur hubby and family and it will take a whole long while to have it rebuilt.
4) reduce the level you interact with ur family members especially when hubby is around, let all the time be for him, even if he won't value it at first. Do those small small things that you think doesn't count. It will go a long way
5) na u Sabi ur husband pass us. Name advice you give urself go work pass.
Cheers.

Been down this road.

Are you married to semi-child who has no ability to make decisions for himself?. You forced everything on him. Where was his brain when you were doing all the forcing? No accountability for his own choices?

If that’s the case, the definite course of the relationship also depends on what next you’re able to force him to do. Ask yourself if your child benefits more from being in that home or will your child benefit more if both of you are apart and not at risk of liking each other. That’s if your child is truly your excuse for still being with him.

Stupid me confided in him that Im scarred I may not be able to get pregnant and we should try.

I have endured every bullshit possible beatings, neglect, insults and all that. But I have not been innocent too I've been abusive too.
If you ask me I'll say he provoked me but if you ask him he'll say I provoked him.

He says I don't respect him but I tell him he can't force me to respect him, he has to earn it.
For example, he does not do any housechore , no not even one although I don't really care much because I have someone thst helps me out but I've asked him to take care of his clothes which he does not, scatters his clothes like s child and just wants to sit and press his phone all day then hang out.
We both work and he earns better right now, but I'm 80oercent provide for the upkeep for our home, 99oercent of the furniture and appliances in our home was bought by me. He constantly accuse me of cheating when I don't go anywhere at all, I go to work, my shop and straight back home. He keeps late night and comes back to call me s prostitute and I'm like I sit at home but you go out but somehow I'm the prostitute.
When I'm angry I insult him so much and then he hits me, I insult him because I'm frustrated.
I go out there hustle so hard but I'm been ridiculed..

I told him let's have one more child to make it two but he said no that he is notsure , he is never sure about anything, very slow. I still want to have one more child with him because I want all my kids to have one Father but he says his not ready. When will you be ready, he does not know...

My family thinks I'm crazy to still be with him but I don't want my son to grow from s broken home, I don't want my kids to have different fathers, I actually still do love him and although it may be foolish of me, I somehow believe he will change.
I've prayed, cried, fasted but there is absolutely no difference. People tell me I this is how cross river men are but for how long will I continue, he is seven years older than me but behaves like s child with no future plan. I really confused and sincerely tired.

Do you know what they call submission in marriage? I am not sure... Submission can turn any beast of a man to the mumuest man you can imagine... You are telling your husband to wash his cloths and u expect him to behave like Norman husband? You are a jocker... I am not boasting or anything but I have one of the best home or marriage I av seen anywhere.. The truth is, I am an idiot n rude individual... But the level of humility n respect my wife have for me? I will never ever treat her bad cos even eternity will not forgive me... It's a woman that makes a home.. If u expect him to respect you first trust me ur in it for a shock.. Just telling u a fact.. Anyone can have thier own 'modern' view which has proved to be fatal to marriages and homes nowaways anyways.. That thier problem. My kne kobo
