write out the main reasons why you don't love her. Also write out her good side. Then look deeply into both. Don't forget to think future. Divorce isn't a sin if there is no other choice though

Let me cut the story short. Had a fling with this girl, along the line she got pregnant. You know all that talk of "if you could sleep with her, then you must marry her" "if you got her pregnant then you must marry her", Iooking back now, I wished I hadn't listened to all those voices.

I knew in my heart that I didn't love her, even she knew but the pressure from the family was too much, I had to marry her. On my marriage day I was practically crying within me.

Her character is just opposite of all I wanted in a woman, she's barely educated, loud and loquacious.

That's my cross I am carrying today, stuck in a loveless marriage.

The warmth and Romance is absent from our home, we have not had intimacy since beginning of the year till now, we just have no interest anymore in each other. We are just living together for the sake of our child.

My question now is how does one cope�? Is this how I am going to live the rest of my life?


From experience I can tell that you will ask this question every year until you release that girl from this loveless marriage.

From your story you do not have a seed to use to repair this marriage: you were in despair on your wedding day! Where do you start to repair that from?

Go read my story. I have lived this for 8 or 9 years. It doesn't get better grin grin

But if you decide to quit try this first. Find a grandma to dump the kid with for a few hours at the weekend and go to fun places. Try not to think of yourselves in a couple situation. Just go out as acquaintances who knows....perhaps there is a seed somewhere afterall

I'm not talking about beauty and the beast. I'm talking about normal humans but nevertheless, your mum still coped. There is no perfect marriage so let's not deceive ourselves.

It is destructive and has a long-term negative impact on the children.

Reading this thread is so sad, Nigerians truly believe that they can force, threaten, make and terrorize another human being to fall in love with them.

Move on.


Probably why domestic violence is so high.

Brother Ollins,

If this lady is as terrible as this, how were you able to get an erection to stick it into her?

How did you start the toasting to get her into your bed and arms?

The same magic you worked to get her pregnant, use it again.

It is in you like peak!

The way some of you reason eh. Don't you know that guys have urges? You don't know that guys fūck prostitutes?

Sex and love are not related.

I guess sex happened or she just fell pregnant.

If not, why get intimate with someone you can't seem to stand.

Sex, sex, and sex. Guys don't fūck for love or romance. How hard is that to understand? A guy can pay or brainwash a girl to get laid.

Why did you get her pregnant when you know you don't love her??
Re: How Do You Cope If Married To Someone You Don't Love? by ibuchukwuumah(m): 3:40am On Jul 07, 2020
telling her you love her in the first place was not a good idea, when you know deep inside you,you don't want or need her
you just wanna useless her.
but your plan and God's plan is not thesame enjoy your marriage bro
Re: How Do You Cope If Married To Someone You Don't Love? by Daroldigits: 3:49am On Jul 07, 2020
Young man, you don't love her but you had sex with her? Nonsense 101. Then she's not the kind of a woman you want, nonsense 102. Young man why don't you use your strength to build her weakness or do you think you're far better than those in the grave? Do you think you're perfect? Listen, you can't get what you want in life if you don't work for it. Help her, encourage her, protect her weakness not you coming to social media and begin to say trash about her. The day you wanted to sleep with her, who did you call on here? Young man, a wise man protect the weakness of his partner. Help her to be who you want not you condemning her please. God bless you

So, now you want us to give you a license for divorce?

No.

Marriage is for better for worse and till death do you part.

I don't pity people like you one bit. When you were with her, she was all wonderful and the perfect one. Now, it's marriage, you're suddenly finding faults.

Receive grace to enjoy your marriage.

an erect dikc has no conscience.

secondly, do you know what the head of the dikc is very soft?,,,,,simple. its because inside the head of the dikc, there is no brain, not a single brain cell.

Are you then saying it's OK to say you have no brain since you are ruled by the "dikc"?

The child should unite both of you together and let that first love be rekindled back. Though you didn't tell us how it started before you got her pregnant, but my question is what were you thinking when you had sex with her without protection knowing that you could get her pregnant when you have no plan of future with her.?
My second question is didn't you observe she's loquacious and uneducated when you were penetrating.?

I am in something similar but i try to know her better, take her for who she is an learn to love and is working.

Did you guys fight? If not my brother there is no perfect home, all of this people you see their pictures on Facebook and you think things are rossy na fake. Under their roof is hukhugan vs undertaker.

Find one thing that exciting in the relationship which definitely there is and nature it. The devil � you know us better than angel you don't know.

LEARN TO LOVE, DONT BE SELF CENTER.

You mustn't stay married to anyone you're not in love with. It is still early to set her free, set yourself free as well for your sound mind. If you stay there, both of you will live in frustration and I bet you don't want to build a home in disarray.
Initially she would cry and lament but trust me she'd get someone else to love her properly and so would you.
No one is coming to this world twice, this one you're sure of, yank off any and everything that would cause you discomfort. You don't want to wake up one day in your 50s or 70s full of regrets and what ifs.

please continue to enjoy your cross.
The pressure from the family to marry her drove you into the marriage just as the pressure to fuc.k her drove you into putting her in the family way.
Please stop making life miserable for the young lady, you are the one why tried to destroy her future.

My final advise to you is this...
Marriage is not about marrying who you love, but loving who you marry.

Turn your marriage around and stop living in utopia

Did he tell you he met his wife on the side of the road? If she’s an Ashewo then so is he and they should stay together and make their marriage work. Who understands and Ashawo better than her customer and Vice versa?

What’s the difference with Ashewo? This was not rape. It was a consensual sex outside marriage and perhaps some money has changed hands before or after. Same as Ashewo. No difference.

selfishness in the highest order.
Note: the op didn't complain of any wrong doing from the lady, therefore the marriage looks loveless because this guy made it so.
Marriage in reality is not about marrying who you love but about loving who you marry.
This guy should stop chasing shadow and sit his ass down and build his home with his wife
It might be easier for him to move on, but it won't be easy for the lady. When this guy's dic.k was telling him to fuc.k the lady, where was love then?

Let me tell you: people who enjoy their marriage do so because they decided to make it so, it's not because of any kind of special love.

OP, go home and build your marriage, show that lady love and stop crying for nothing. You want to mess the young woman's life.
E no go work for you.

I believe since u brought this you meant well for all parties involve, if you grew up in a family with dad and mum while do you want to deprive ur lovly child what u enjoyed,try loving your wife thru your child. Look at your child and imagine the beauty that GOD made both of you bring to this world. If she never luved u she would never have risked her life to give u a child, the answer u seek lies within you. A bird at hand is worth more than a thousand in the bush. Onelove
