undecidedThis is wrong. How can you write this on an open forum. You can see how many women have been reading and making comments. You broke the guy's code: don't see, don't tell.
I suggest seun creates a male only section where you have to swear to being a man like the Islam section.

The occurrence of marriages disintegrating at the joblessness of husbands is to common to make a joke out of it.

We need to find a better way.

What are the odds someone would be out of employment in their working life time?

50%.

If they built a good marriage, should it now disintegrate because the husband lost his job?

Maybe another time, it would be funny. In this Corona times where people (both spouses) are losing jobs left, right and center?

People better start shaping up.

Most marriages disintegrate when partners loose their jobs, its even worse when both do..

my points are based on how to manage such periods with humility, empathy and respect from the mans perspective..

It was not a joke during the period, it was memories of time past.. people are going through this today, this might cheer them up and give them hope people have gone through same phase.

What a very useless thread.

What ever happen to picking yourself, even if it's menial job.

I wasn't surprised though, what do you expect from an average NIGERIAN woman?

Gossip
Make-up
Zeeworld
Nothing productive, absolutely nothing.

Because you don get small change, you think you've arrived.

The greatest thing I inherited from my father is ego, and I will forever be greatful for that.

That's how one created a thread yesterday complaining of husband's family, saying she'll not include her husband's name in her landed property, it's only a simp that will beg for that, I wouldn't even expect you to include my name in your property in the first place.

Dear Men, if you're in this situation right now, don't trade your dignity instead brace yourself up, find something to do, wealth is not the ultimate thing in this life.

Just be happy.

Lol, I understand your tone... ego ego ego... I had that in excess, I was 100% in control, the Alpha Male, the Hercules of the family.. grin grin ...God humbled me,

It's only your family that has your back, friends would desert you, business associates would desert you, your ego would deflate like ball when you are desperate throwing monies into thin air right, left and centre on any business idea brought to you just because you want to prove people wrong..

If you have a working reasonable wife that period, cherish her while you pray to get out of your many troubles..

Ego would not take you anywhere..

Jobless husband diaries!!

Here are some guidelines for unemployed husbands with working wives.
, when you read through with an open mind, you would see it's not she looking down on you, it's just you being smart to be able to have your sanity and getting some advantages while praying for a change.. Hang in there guys, you are not alone, tables turn... you would be fine.

1 - Never discuss your predicament beyond the normal and never show weakness in front of your wife.. "she dont want to see hopelessness".. grin

2 - buy a lot of noodles, you would be needing it a lot, especially during your strong head periods, you dont win most fights, most fights end with "Oya buy it naa" that's usually when you add the convo to your lost battles .. grin

3 - your meals majorly come in two options if any
Rice or noodles?
Beans or noodles?
Eba or noodles?

Semo or pounds is too stressful, dont opt to make shocked... stress was only the surface reason given to you.. cool

4 - sex is usually delayed, when ever you see one just accept and be ready for maybe max two position change, some styles may be banned.. grin

5 - dont come home drunk, I repeat.. dont come home drunk..you remember the pictures of samloco playing "jobless old drunk" in movie scenes... you look exactly like them to her.. grin

6 - some eatable and chewy chewy groceries stops being in the fridge because you are home most-times and eats to chase boredom.. there is always a secret stash in her room for groundnuts, sharp biscuits, cashew nuts, sweets, etc.. she knows you know, take reasonably grin

7 - you are at your lowest, dont bring friends doing well too close home, otherwise you might get depressed from comparison grin

8 - in your many many ideas, you know broke guys reason business ideas like Warren buffet grin , always sieve out the good ones, because telling her some kind stupid stupid ideas would make you look jobless and stupid also. grin

9 - the best way to dodge Bill's is to watch your words, avoid some topics, you need to be one step or two ahead everytime.. e.g TV shows, movies, food, clubs etc...
- TV shows - dstv bill comes up
- Movies - cinema bill comes up
- Food - restaurant and taking out comes up.. grin

10 - Do house chores, pick mopping... it's easier, you only start when she is done sweeping and dusting, she goes to bath, you zig-zag and get back to watching (how do they do it) grin... use water, avoid bubbles on tiles.. you would redo that work even if its next week.. grin

11 - dont leave the sink messy, especially on work days when you are home job hunting and she is out hustling, bro it's an important rule from a man to a man..

12 - with your many insecurities and the devil trying to use you to bring out your alpha Male, pick your fights... yes they would come, but there is an extent to which a broke man fights and argues.. embarassed

13 - you would owe her cash a lot, she knows deep down that money is not coming back, but be ready to be dragged about it to pay for essentials you cant do without.. she would pay eventually when you have curled away asking God why.. allow her have it, it's one of her high moments. cry

14 - in your midnight cries, yes "midnight cries" is most times once a week or twice sha, depending on the days activities... dont disturb her sleep... embarassed

15 - be transparent, remove password from your phone, laptops etc... if she is being faithful, infidelity is not something you want attached to "cheating jobless old man"... you cant be broke and cheating, they dont work together..

16 - read, read, read... you have to pass her in something, current affairs, global happenings, worlds economy etc... it is an edge when you throw small small insults inside conversations "so you dont know kyari is dead" those are one of your few high moments.. wink

17 - early morning gisting with her while she baths and makes up, makes her happy.. you can lend some money during those hours.. those are your bankable hours, if you want some extra cash, offer to drop her at work, that's if it's not your duty already oo.. kiss

18 - at all, at all, try to provide for fuel for generator, darkness and a man being in the house dont usually go together.. you might start having complex..

19 - always use your car weekends, thats if you have not sold hers and she is using yours. When you use your car weekends for functions not personal waka, she chips or outrightly buys fuel that you can manage during the week for your job hunting activities.. grin

20 - look good, work out and have your CV handy. you need to look the role she currently tells people you are doing.." Frank is okay, he is inbetween jobs, but trying out some ideas with friends".. if the friends ask for your CV, always have it handy, delay is dangerous...

21 - dont be gluttonous, eat moderately like a normal human being, if you finish your meals for the week by wednesday, be ready to fall back to your noodles (refer to rule 2) grin and yes you would come up with different flavours of home made seasonings only you can eat.. grin

22 - try to curtail your mood swings, she is the only one entitled to it, you need to be happy with smiles when she is making conversations..

23 - make business calls or pretend to make business call.. it's important, it gives her hope you are connecting.. "my brother me and you know say na 10k you dey shout like that for" grin

24 - go grocery shopping with her, you get to use the opportunity to throw drinks into the cart and remove face immediately, if your eyes jam.. you would return that drink ooo.. grin

25 - if she sends you a link from work, read, watch or chat her to discuss with her, otherwise "what are you doing, that you didn't reply my message follows" grin grin, what you were doing must have financial gains ooo grin never use "I was sleeping" as excuse... dont even try it..

26 - dont call her family, send text message if you can.. dont let them remember you ooo.. lipsrsealed

27 - during your few chances of sex, dont shoot in, "I repeat", dont shoot in... you may find yourself outside by 1am looking for postinol 2
. grin grin the stress in looking for the drug would surpass whatever you managed to enjoy. undecided

28 - be ready for "mistakes" of giving you cash in front of people undecided, it's not everytime she remembers to call you to the corner or give you her card.. it's one of those moments you want the ground to swallow you up.. but my brother "dem no dey use shame swallow spit".. it wont last forever.

Let's me rest here first and continue later... but in all, I love my wife... she is that woman that has your back 100%..

The table has turned for me and am back to my responsibilities, it was a tough period, I learnt a lot, from Anger management to laws of power, it's not a fun place to reside in for a long time....

Most especially:
Marry your friend,
marry your partner in crime,
Marry your day1 niga,
your Gee... when you do, no matter the circumstance, you have some level of peace, some room to pickup and some encouragement to guide you through.

Cosigned... cool

In addition to all this, please make yourself as scarce as possible in the house and around her.
If possible, just tell her that you're travelling and spend a week or two away...then return back and continue being very scarce around her.

So is it not a "cultural norm" for the husband to provide for the family? When the husband can't provide for the family, he is already going "against the cultural norm", so he should be ready to deal with other things that go against the supposed culture.

The husband is the head, my point is this thread is needless.

Men are the breadwinner in an average NIGERIAN home, at least 95% the rest 5% is negligible.

Op should create a thread on how unemployed husbands can get a new job not how to be a slave.

95%? Oga are we leaving in this same Nigeria? It shows you are disconnected from reality or you are just trying to create an issue from nothing.

There was a thread on front page just last week where a Lady was complaining about how the husband was acting because he wasn't really getting money like the wife and many ladies also had similar issues when their husbands were jobless.

As funny as the thread sounds, it is addressing a very common issue. If you like, be a jobless husband and be acting like you are the owner of heaven and earth, talking about your ego. Your wife will leave you or you will be in a very miserable marriage.

I don't want to discuss this further.

Let's look at it from this angle : just an example

Stealing is a crime.

The thought of stealing comes to a man/woman mind when he/she is down financially.

Why steal when you can have two hands?


That's how I see this thread, I think we should stop promoting what is bad.

Go to Abuja and see jobless men everywhere that have been laid off work and are living off their wives. Add that to the teaming unmarried ones who think that Abuja is their Eldorado.

These days, the unmarried ones are targeting babes with rich backgrounds even if she is bigger than eniola.

This statistics is flawed....how do you come up with such stat when there are equal opportunities of jobs for both gender..

Do coys discriminate on gender during salaries?.

The point is not the menial job or being lazy, it's about earning enough to take care of your Bill's..

Your wife cant stoop to the level that a menial job pay can handle just because you want to satisfy your ego, she would leave..
