Hi, I have been married for 9 years now, the problem I have with my husband is that his family members keep sucking him dry and the way he neglects us his immediate family.

He is the first child of 7 children, his siblings even the married ladies keep asking him for money. He keeps spending money on them and their husbands. His brothers keep crying they are broke, they keep leeching off him.

His two junior brothers that always ask him for money, one of them built a house in Port Harcourt and the other one built a big house in the village. Still they won't let him rest.

His married sisters are the worst. If they cough they would call him to send money, every minor thing they would expect money. Just this evening his sister called him to ask for money. We don't have a house of our own, I keep telling my husband to stop giving in to all their demands and invest the money on something, he would say I am turning him against his family.

We have 2 kids and I have told him we need to start saving for their future, I pay the electricity bill, foodstuffs, and most times the children school fees, he pays the house rent and rarely keeps money for home upkeep, he sometimes drops two thousand and that's it for the whole week. He always complains he has no more, but once his family calls him he sends money immediately.

I have saved enough to buy a land and I am not planning to include his name in the property. I don't know what to deal with, his family entitlement mentality or the way he neglects the kids and I and treat us like outsiders.

I am really pissed off and tired.

Sorry for the long post.


Please do just that - if you include his name, one day e go sell am to feed in leech family

Many men make this certain mistake. Works both on the part of the wife and husband.

A man is not entitled to help totally his wife's family or his family. Most times the bride family see the husband as a poverty elevation scheme. So wrong
A man should always face his own family more. I am not saying he should totally ignore them but he ought let them see that he is out of their immediate circle and needs to put his woman and family as top priority.

I might be getting this message across the wrong way but your wife remains your all. Be on guard.
I might be wrong or pass this certain message wrongly but I sure know what I mean.

Very sad , please ignore anybody that insults u here....

You made a very valid post..
I despise people who leech on others, very bad, and it is so unfortunate your husband has been caught in the trap, he may never progress in life with this attitude.

And worst of all, if anything goes wrong, they wont be there to support you and your children. And if your children becomes successful, they will continue with them as well.

That sense of entitlement is very bad, your husband needs to man up and let them face their problems, haba....I really feel for u...and I'm sure they will hate u and wage war on you if u seem to come in their way. They are irresponsible and callous.

I'm the first born of my family and happily married. I have 4 siblings with one staying with us, there is no indoctrination here, just common sense. I trained my kid bro by buying him an online udemy python programming course for $15, today he's doing well in Lagos, my junior sister is also doing well, I don't dash money but you must use it to acquire a skill
After acquiring skills for your siblings and they are faced with some financial setbacks due to low patronage or other issues will you give your siblings cash or abandon them justifying it with the fact that you already empowered them with a skill?

Instead of telling your husband to stop 'spending on his family', point him to projects he can spend money on.

E.g. 'My friend said there is one cheap land at Igbo Tutu' or 'how I wish we had our house, we wouldn't be bothered about Baba Mulika asking for rent every year' or 'there is one mutual funds that the entry is N200k and you get 15% returns per year. We can be paying Junior's fees from the interest'. You can also bring up investment for your kids etc.

You know what works with your husband so explore that. Also appreciate him for what he does so far.

@buying your land: I am not a fan of spouses buying stuffs behind each other so I will say deposit the money in mutual benefit/Chapel Hill/Piggybank for now while you try to make him see reason. I particularly don't like the fact you want only your name on the land; recipe for disaster as your husband is not hiding his own funds; he is just not spending it wisely.

Please which mutual fund pays 15% per year?

You should also understand where your husband is coming from: in some cultures, the 'worth' of the first son/husband of the first daughter is their ability to fund everyone's lifestyle without complaint while their own immediate family suffers.

It is a recurring theme so you re-orientate him in love and harmony to see that his family can and will survive without his handouts.

Also note that if he goes 360 and stops funding his siblings, it can cause problems for you'all.

And that picture is horrible.
On a moderate note, no family should be label as leeches and parasite because they brought him up in the first place before you now see him as husband material to marry .
Though the picture being painted of this man in question is bad...his own is excessive. He must begin to work for his immediate family as well as and take good care of them.

I know someone like this who allows his family to leach on him. I encouraged his wife to find ways to diversify her income. She listened and is better for it today.
Since your husband may not wake up from that mode and it's you whose eyes are open, take the initiative and set up a life for yourself and children, if your husbands becomes conscious of himself in later years, fine.

Buying a land won't solve the problem, instead you want to cause problem for your self. Someone advise you to engage him on a project. I think is a good advise, think about that very well.

My wife has away of engaging me into buying properties, she will take me there and tell me " Hot let buy this, don't worry, take and add to what you have. And one thing about me, is.. I always want to complete any project I start.

Women, she still find away of collecting her money back. My sister you know your husband weak point, quarrying won't solve anything.

In this 21st century, you still asking if you should include his name or not?

If you like, include his name, let him die, maybe his family members won't claim the land is for their brother. But don't come here to tell us how you bought land and how your husband family snatch it away.

You are busy funding the house and yet you want him to be responsible? No, men won't be responsible unless they see what to be responsible for. If you like, don't abandon some house expenses for him and keep asking

Some women sha, they are the reason why males see us as idiots, because their ego is fuelled when they enslave themselves.
You are in slavery sister, and nothing is mutual in your marriage, you are carrying the higher responsibility. Abi no be you get pregnant, and breastfeed? How much would he pay for surrogate mother? And yet you still join him in paying for the bills. Mtchew
