Mr cautioner, hope you don't continue this way, if your wife can't tell you to go out and hustle I wonder who can encourage you in this life
While I do not support his raising his hands on her , She was comparing him with other men, Can you take it if your man compare you with other more Beautiful ladies ? think about that, before you speak from both sides of your mouth

It's good know that you work but if you're generous with her and your kid she won't insist that you should hustle for more. I don't want to believe that she's a wicked person as you paint her to be. It's because you're not giving enough and she's probably finding it hard to continue keeping quiet. Most women want their husbands around the house not outdoors all the time unless he's not doing enough financially. Let her also work to cater for her needs too but if you're the stingy type also try adjusting. Stop cautioning with your hands, she's not a Goat
let me ask you.what can a family man do with 100k.also mind you.he might be earning 80k and just spicing things up here . With 100k and a wife and a daughter also some family members or some side chicks.its hard not to be stingy.all I can say is that he should politicise it.he should get a slogan.just like my father will always say.when money comes we shall all beeeeee happyyyyyy.

You don F-up. Raising your hands on any woman talkless your wife has degraded you. That's the bitter truth.

Back to the main issue. Your wife needs your unreserved apology. You need remorseful which is through your attitude. Let her know you are deeply sorry.

To her, is she not working? Why have you refused to set her up in a biz? One problem I have realized in today's marriage is, finance. It's really creating a lot of issues in most marriage. As a man, if you earn from three sources, declare only two. Let her know how the money is spent to the last kobo. That was the initial problem, you need to fix that part asap
Dumb response , you replied for d likes and not as a man .
Explain till the last kobo of how you spent ur income, unreserved apology kill you there , yea you dont raise ur hands on a lady but when you eventually do you
Let her see reasons why she shouldn’t be foolish not unreserved apology like she was right in d first place .

If my wife is not productive she’ll seat at home or find a salary job . Dont speak like its his duty to find her a job she didnt find his ...
Remember its all about equality men and women are equal

Bro, no matter what your wife does, walk away. Take your car keys and go out or just leave the house at that point , trust me. By the time you are back home ,your anger would have subsided.

2. What kind of friends does she keep ? Or does she spend a lot of time on social media rather than family and God? These are some of the sources of sudden flamboyance from women . You need to sit your wife down and talk to her lovingly . Also, the two of you need to spend more time with God. Divorce is a lot of pain , don't do anything stupid because so-called men of God divorce , you're not them o. Divorce never a way out as it leads to a lot of pain and regret. Sit down , talk and pray together . People will day I am stupid for this comment but that's the truth. God is still the one that can hold your household together . It is well.



quote author=ademidedavid post=89481343]It's no longer a story that pastors divorce their partners, imams divorce their partners, highly educated people do same and even the so called marriage counsellors are not left out in the order of the day and it has always been a thing of worry for me with the thought that they never loved each other before marriage but getting married has changed my thinking and has made me realised that marriage only takes the grace of God to work out.

I have been married for 3 years with 1 beautiful daughter with a loving wife (maybe before and some years into the marriage). I have always believed that I cannever raise my hand on my woman since my father never did such but I find it hard to believe I did the unimaginable today although It wasn't intentional.

It was due to annoyance after she asked me to stop sitting at home and go work for more money like other men even though I am a federal worker with above 100k monthly income and still do personal work as a civil engineer apart from the federal job despite the lockdown.....

It really got me aggravated because I have been the one fending for the family and the kid for the past 3 years and never asked for a kobo from her.....

Although I have noticed the urge for very flamboyant life style in her lately and has even asked me to get more money at any means, that money is everything in this life even though I have tried telling her its a gradual process, she still doesn't listen and even asked me to raise money for her to travel out of Nigeria.

I have never thought of raising my hands on any woman let alone my wife.....

Please how do I change her sudden mentality towards this sudden extravagant life style because I pray it doesn't lead to something else since I can't do illegal things to acquire the type of wealth she dreams of?

This is surprising, honestly; you bring in 100k+ monthly into the family and also have a side hustle going on for you, your wife asks you to make more and you raised your hands on her ?

I think you need to apologize to your wife, that your wife is asking you to do some more hustling is not an act of disrespect, if anything, she wants you to succeed and to raise financial status of your own family.

Please do the needful, swallow your pride; she's your wife, and if she wants you to hustle more and you think you are out of ideas you can just as well ask her for inputs and for you to evaluate the ideas she brings in.

Behind every successful man, there's a woman; this is because, women are attracted to wealth and people with purpose, actionable plan and visions and can translate that purpose to wealth with some help from them.

Apologize to her, mend the broken wall and save your marriage

PS: If you get very upset, just take a walk, its therapeutic, I do it and by the time you return, everyone's emotion will be on check and tempers would have cooled down smiley

Please apologize to her and promise her and yourself never to raise your hand on her again...make sure you don't tell her your total income again.. maybe divide it by 3 and tell her one part cos must times we might earn high but after all expenses and saves,you realize that the money is not as big as we think...
Tell her how you want her to cut away from her friends so as to face her marriage...cos they are impacting on her negatively...

What was she doing before he got married to her?? No man in his right senses will marry a liability as a wife.

My VERDICT

Op's wife got a bad influence from her fellow married friends whose husbands have been spending lavishly on them. I guess they have been encouraging her to join the league. the wife is not patient and can as well cheat on her husband.

Oga keep quiet if you do not have anything meaningful to say? Males like you is the reason why women assume and arrogate undue powers to themselves. OP I don't support hitting a woman but why I won't blame you is that we all are human and we err esp in situations such as this. You said her her recent attitude is recent; right? The truth is that your wife has been going out with other women who flaunt and entice her with flamboyancy. This I tell you honestly is the reason behind her recent behaviours. And funny enough none of those women are being honest to her. They deceitfully claim their husbands give them huge sums for grocery meanwhile it is all a lie.

As an engineer, if you must stop an erosion from further devastating an environment, you must tackle it from the base of the erosion. Also true is as engineer, we build to last. Divorce or break up is a no no for you. Listen to me: you can handle the situation. Find a way to stop her from meeting the people she is currently meeting for at least 2weeks. I'm not saying you should restrict her movement. No emphasis is on try to break her from her current new negative influence. Her problem is just a case of influence. May the Lord bless your union and home

Why beating her when there are many ways of killing the bird without shedding the blood. You must have married a nagging woman. Better still nobody counselled both of you before marriage I think. You must let her know the reality that the woman you married have changed . She knows your worth before you married so what nonsense is she talking now. You may have to stand your feet down to cut her off from some bad friends that are influencing her life. The effect of outside influence is what you are seeing. Get firm and be in charge please .

Sorry to say, if I were in your shoes, that slap will land on her cheeks. I hate when people don't appreciate someone's efforts.

If she want to live flamboyant, then let her make her own money. I won't take an insult on my person from someone that isnt contributing to my development.
Don't apologize for slapping her, lock up. You are the man of the house not the other way round, if she doesn't seem it fit to apologize to you, just dey look am.
If you dare apologize, you will kuku loose the remaining small respect that she has for you cos from look of things that woman has been brainwashed by material stuff.Cheers

Op, my wife tried such stunt with me, that see emeka is rich, he flies to and fro with his wife and kids.
i told her neva to repeat such nonsense to my ears. That the next time she does so i will kick her out of my house so that she can go and marry emeka.
Secondly i told her to go and work for her money that she's a liability and i hate liabilities. Afterall there are millions of women working abi she get she fine pass them.
But trust women she repeated it again and i gave it back to her that chika is a woman like her yet is working, earning money and not a liability she should go and find work.
This is a woman i hve never asked for a dime during dating and being married. Since then she has not tried it.
Op, in marriage dont take nonsense from your wife, taking and swallowing insult is not a sign of maturity but mumurity.
Another example during an argument my wife said she regrets getting married to me, i replied i regret marrying her too. Should we file for divorce she kept quiet.
Ooooop man up you are the king in the marriage not your wife. No time 4 nonsense

Do you realize she's an adult?

The truth is that if she's not willing and ready to change her circle of friends, it is beyond what the husband can do, except if he wants to violently achieve that, which is not advisable.

Change comes from within.
.
Now listen!!!
If she can't be submissive,,, there's no meaning getting married.
If she's too big to respect the husband then they should quit the marriage.
Your kind of advice is what gives them strong wings to misbehave in their various homes.
