People who are toxic or abusive stricto sensu are usually very manipulative. Many of such persons are selfless. The material benefits the sufferer derives in such relationship makes it difficult for them to leave. It takes lots of courage to leave a toxic relationship. No one is 100% toxic, they have lots of good attribute to complement their toxicity which makes the sufferer subtly fall in love with them.

If you want to control a person, be nice to him and make him believe he cant survive without you.

True.

This is a western ducked mentality

Lovers should own each other

We all know too much of something is bad

There is a reason it’s called opposite sex
What happens to making friends with sex of your species?
Eve was made for only one Adam not two

You were not committed to the relationship as he was period save us all the westernized bukum

not really , some women have no where to go so they stay put and endure till they endure no more. Some are too embarrassed to tell a family member and will keep the beating to themselves. Some are hoping their husbands stop , some do not want a divorce

That was his imperfection, except that, dude was a great guy, he loved me a great deal but that his anger thing was what I couldn't deal with, he was obsessed, I mean dude even fought men that looked at me, that was how bad it was..

There are so many things that makes one great in a relationship, he loved me with care, was scared to lose me thereby over protection..

One thing that turns me on in my relationship is when my partner trusts and owns me
It makes me fly, dammnit

I just couldn't stand the toxic part, he became abusive, I couldn't say hi to men, I couldn't even talk/chat with men and he couldn't stand me smiling and laughing with others while I frown at him, it makes him feel like he should kill me grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy
tbh, is either a guy is a serial cheater or he behaves lyk dat
u jus have to pick one...

Nd while will u frown at him nd smile to other guys??

Takotsubo:
It is important to always go back to the beginning.

People who are born into abusive homes will most likely subconsciously tilt towards abusive partners.
When a child grows up seeing dad and mum fight,or mum.being beaten up,they watch mum cry and struggle ,they believe that in relationships it is normal to cry and struggle too.


When they speak to their crying mum,she may say daddy loves us,it's my fault for not cooking the food well,or it's my fault I was rude.

They then adapt to this notion and begin to reason in like manner.



They learn at a tender age that this is what marriage is or this is what love is. Some believe if their partner is not beating them or if their partner is not abusive,they don't really love them.

They then marry abusers and of course the cycle continues.Their own interpretation of marriage is that beating and abuse is normal so why should they leave?
Their mothers stayed so why should they leave?

A broken family is worse than an abusive one so why should they leave?

They take on the culture of self blame,they come on the internet and see where people recount worse and still remain ,people tell them to adjust themselves further and marriage is for better or worse so again the question remains: Why should they leave?

When your self confidence and esteem are eroded from a very young age,it is almost impossible to be emotionally normal.

They think they are staying for their children and forget it is still the same vicious cycle.

Truth is they do not believe they deserve better,they have never known better and will remain trapped in a prison that is not just physical but mental.

It is the very brave ones that begin to question issues and then decide to leave.

It's not just about money,even rich women are abused but remain.

When a person is traumatised,they view and interact with the world differently.
its simply for d children...
if d woman has boys, it'll be difficult to leave. as wen d guy grows up he'll certainly love his mother nd hate d dad... Nd dey can't kill d father so d son can takeover wen he's of age wink

Well
When he abuses me nko
I was mentally and psychologically disturbed
I tried to leave but he wouldn't

I wasn't happy
Hence my frowning all the time
We lived together and it was a tough one

When he calls he feels the vibe at the background, he waits for me to get home to start asking why I am not happy at home and when I tell him, he starts to cry and pounces on me for not being happy with him

I was strong enough to walk away

CHEATING AND LIES ARE NOT THE REASON WHY MARRIAGES AND RELATIONSHIPS END BUT LACK OF LOVE, SEX AND MONEY

Marriage is supposed to be a union that should last until death do the both partners apart. And relationship should reach its set goals which often time happens to be marriage. But why do these unions break? There are three main reasons why these agreement within two adults doesn't reach its desired goal.

*Lack of love: This most times is the reason why marriages and relationships end. Because so many people do not understand what love really is. They feel it's just a feeling for an opposite sex not knowing love has nothing to do with feelings. Love is a choice and a drive that drives us to understand and respect someone for a life time. When people attach love to feelings or emotion they tend to use words like this in future " I don't feel anything for him or her again" love must be a career you must build it, it must have some set goals as one of its qualities. You cannot love someone and cheat on that person except you confuse feelings for love that is why people would say they love their wife or partner yet they cheat on them. Some have even gone as far as saying love is not a yardstick not to cheat, you can still love your partner and cheat. Well, such persons confuse love for feelings.

*Lack of good sex: When this is jettison in marriage, it tends to promote infidelity and can cause a misunderstanding. Sex is very important in marriage. Constant ignoring of sexual activities in marriage has led so many marriages to break up. Sex helps to relieve stress, it creates bond, it procreates and it is the zenith of fun among married couples. So many couples has suffered as a result of poor sexual activities. So many women has failed to apply some techniques to get orgasm because they have seen sex therapy as secondary in marriage building. So many can hardly explore their wives sexually. When sexual climax is not being achieved in marriage, a sex therapist should be involved immediately. Over looking it is synonymous to over looking your union.

*Lack of money: They say "money can't buy love" yes that is true but money can keep love. Have you heard that poor people are vulnerable? Husbands have been taken away from their wives and wives have been taken away from their husbands mainly because of lack of love, sex and money. The heart of a woman desires good things and a proud man is he that have provided for his wife. One must not steal to have money to keep a relationship or marriage but must learn the philosophy of how to make money. Balanced view of money in marriage or relationship is vital. Seeing a professional counselor to help you get a balance view of money would help strengthen your union. Poor financial mismanagement has ended so many marriages in court seeking for the termination of their marriage contract and have pushed other partner to seek for financial solution in someone else. Do not be quick to blame them because money in itself cannot buy love but can keep love.

Issues with finding love, having a healthy sex life and understanding the philosophy of money can be normal and proffering a solution to it is that which does not demand medical attention except when it has gotten out of behavioral approach but requires the person to be patient and complete a counseling process not from a pastor, lawyer or a medical doctor but a qualified counseling psychologist.
Consult a professional counselor via WhatsApp on 0806 472 9707, Instagram on @mrbigt2020 with a fee of two thousand naira or six dollars. It's a choice, you either talk to a counselor now or end up talking to a medical doctor when it becomes a 50/50 chance medically or a lawyer when you can no longer fix the issue or when it becomes life threatening. Or talk to a pastor when you have been brain washed to believes that your case is spiritual and you need deliverance.

Women make up about 50% of the society.

It is impossible to stigmatize 50% of the society if they vehemently refuse something.

Vehemenetly refuse what exactly? Ever noticed that the chances of an independent woman with lovely qualities being physically or verbally abused reduces drastically when compared with a woman that is not? This is true in any society and more true in 9ja. How can you put all the bills on one man's head and still expect him to maintain his sanity for decades?

This is why I'm a strong advocate of women contributing minimum 30% to the household bills, GET A DAMN JOB and STOP USING RAISING KIDS AS AN EXCUSE, worse comes to worst start an online business. When we remove monetary issues from the equation, 70% of all maritial problems are gone....I dare anyone to prove to me otherwise!

Some don't have a reason

I used to judge these people alot till I was involved with a toxic partner, I walked away several times but dude kept coming back until the day I stood my ground it was enough

Yes, I still loved him when I walked away, it wasn't so easy but I had to for my mental health..

Now, not everyone have that courage to, considering the kind of society we came from

Then such a woman has only herself to blame! We need to remove this mentality from our 9ja women that marrying a man means marrying a provider. Most women have no financial plan, no get out of jail card, nothing, it's either marriage works or they die there....SHAME!

What you have to understand is that most women marry out of desperation to escape poverty and deprivation from their family,so an abused woman is trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea,they dare not go back to her father or brothers house because there are women married in and it is a combustible mix

MICOBIN:
Beware of these 4 killers of a sweet relationship. They are also called the 4 Horsemen of Relationship Apocalypse. You have to be on the lookout to when these tendencies begin to rear their ugly head up in your relationship and manage them properly. They are all as a result of emotional outburst or emotional overwhelm. The way they are being managed will determine if a certain relationship will be salvaged or not.
These 4 horsemen are:
1. Criticism: This is the negative flipside of complaint. Complaints are not bad infact they are constructive to any relationship. They help put things back in order when both partners have a good listening habit. Complaints are targeted at a specific action at which your partner failed. Criticism on the other hand convey distraught mixed with negative words targeted at your partner.
Look at these:
Complaint: There is no petrol in the car. Why didn't you fill it up like you said you would?
Criticism: Why can't you ever remember something? I told you a thousand times to fill up the tank and you didn't.
You see! Criticisms are demeaning. Let's learn to honour and respect our partners. Be nice.

2. Contempt: Contempt is a feeling of disgust........

Nice piece. Those 4 points are really destroyers. Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling. Many marriages are enmeshed in one or all of these

Most Nigerian women stay in it for the financial security marriage gives. It is only in Nigeria that a woman will endure cheating and domestic abuse but same woman cannot endure her husband being broke and having to feed him for 2 years

Do you also hear them when they ague too.

Is it only physical abuse you have noticed? What of verbal abuse? Emotional abuse?

Where I used to stay, I have had a neighbour that tool it upon himself to report domestic violence to authorities and that was the end of the abuse.

Nobody will help you here.

Take action and report the couple. Their actions are training the children to be abusive. Their children may end up marrying your own children.

Take Action Now. Dont wait for the Obituary Notice: GONE TOO SOON

this statement is bogus,last time I checked "Stockholm syndrome"is not in any Nigerian dialect. Women stay with abusive partners all over the world for different reasons .The only difference is the reason a European woman will stay with an abusive partner will be different from the reason a Nigerian woman would.

Exactly, the same thing.....I think its our mentality.

I don't judge whether its right or wrong, the prayer is just not to get into that kind of situation.
Re: Why Do Nigerian Women Endure Abuses In Marriage? by ukorjoe(m): 3:58pm On May 21, 2020
There are a number of ways for a man to assert his authority in the family, beating his wife isn't one of them. Women endure marriages like for either for their religion, their children's sake, or their love for the man. Women always hope that the wife-beating spirit in their husbands leave them, but they suffer for long before marital maturity possesses the men. Men that beat women need a different orientation.
