Teething isnt supposed to make her 'very strong' o, it will only bring her down a little bit.

FamilyRe: My Husband Is Cheating On Me With Several Women On Facebook by 5minsmadness: 5:24pm On Aug 23, 2016
I would like to re-iterate to you ladies something else.
Men love sex.
Men love sex.
Men love sex.


Take it or leave it.

Men love sex.

And if you deny us sex its like leaving us dying of thirst. We literally become uncomfortable and sometimes manifest physical pains. If we see where we can quench that thirst, we will go there. It will take only the power of God to stop us.


This goes for the womanizers and born-again husbands as well. If you like preach and insult me from here to tomorrow.

Sex is food for us. If you are reading this and currently denying your man sex and smirking at this post saying your man is different or he 'understands', chances are he is drinking from another fountain right now. The day you catch him, you will be shocked out of your wits.


Sex is important to us men, just as you women cant do without romance and attention. Its good to understand men as well just as we men try to understand you women. Its not just what the woman wants in marriage that is important, its what the man wants as well. No matter how insignificant it may look to you as a woman.

If he told u while pregnant to please not cut your hair, or to stop wearing that dirty wrapper day in and day out, that it turns him off completely, you may laugh at its absurdity, but for goodness sake take it serious.

Amongst other things.


The man is begging for sex from different ladies on facebook and you think all is well in that house, that he is just asking for sex and jeopardizing his marriage for the hell of it? Ok.
FamilyRe: My Husband Is Cheating On Me With Several Women On Facebook by 5minsmadness:
It seems very odd that you are begging for sex at home and he is begging for sex outside. There is a serious disconnect somewhere cos that doesn't make sense.
The thing with women is that they know how to tell heart-rending tales such that you will wonder how they got married to thier men in the first place, wether it was the men that forced them or wether they didnt dance thier feet off in joy on their wedding day. Women are expert sob-story tellers. Men, on the other hand, keep everything inside them cos society expects them to be emotionally strong.


This tale is as incomplete as they come.


Contrary to what many of you ladies here believe, a man just doesnt start cheating on his wife. I know, i know, i have uttered blasphemy, but its the truth. The sooner you accept that truth the better for you and the more wisdom you will acquire.


She begs her husband for sex yet her husband is online on facebook, not concentrating on one single woman he is having an affair with, but begging various random women for sex.
And you all think this is how he was before she married him. Or he just became like this for no reason.
Meanwhile op your husband has been taking care of you. I didnt see where you said he misbehaved towards you. Your mentioning that he didnt agree with your interior decor idea, i dont know how it plays into this write-up except to garner sympathy.

Levae him if you want. E no concern me.

But stop painting him as a complete devil here. Tell the truth.

Dude, it's better not to give than to give grudgingly.....
Little things like this are best nipped in the bud at their infancy else he'd be trying to cut it down for the rest of his marries life.... Like my dad always says, anything you cannot sustain in a marriage, don't start it....
ND she is even blackmailing him, this is a ticking bomb I tell you, conceding to the wife in an issue such as this is the worst thing a man can possibly do in the scenario....
If she can make an issue out of this, what do you think she'd so when real issues arise?
I had more to say but tearoses has done justice in her last post.
I'm not looking to insult op's wife but from all indications she looks like a trouble-maker.
I wont be surprised if this is but one of the many "issues" in thier home.
As in, what is she calling family meeting over? Is the man planning on marrying a second wife? Everything in this scenario is flimsy.
If it will make her happy to give the neighbors child keysoap and local pampers so she can get back at them for not talking to her, shuo, let her do so. So that tomorrow she wont say her husband is cheating on her and even bought gifts for his lover, then all of nairaland will insult him.
He has nothing invested in this neighbor, let her have her way. In the meantime (like acidosis suggested) he should teach her the principle of love and giving and not holding a grudge and not looking down on others. There will be peace in jis home and she will be receptive to change. OP might feel offended but i doubt this is the first time she isnt letting him do what he wants. He should let it go to reap better rewards in future.

FamilyRe: I Have A Family Problem by 5minsmadness: 12:37pm On Aug 23, 2016
Acidosis:
For peace to reign in your house, do what she wants, but don't end it there.



Continue to teach her the principles of love. In many situations, we may not be able to give the same quality/quantity of consumables, etc. as gifts to people. However, telling you to your face that your neighbors baby cannot share the same materials with her baby is unethical. If someone ask me for a phone, wristwatch, laptop, etc., truth is I MAY not buy the exact quality/quantity I use. Not because I look down on whoever is asking, but solely because of financial limitations.

If your wife tells you DO NOT BUY this for financial reasons, then she HAS A point. But if the rationale behind the disagreement dwells on non-financial issues like 'class', then again, you need to teach her principles of love and sacrifice.

Until she learns this, do not allow a young maid come close to your house.



Cheers
Excellent point.

CHIMCO:
My neighbours wife put to bed. I am making arrangement on how to pay vist to the child with gifts. My wife also put to bed early this year and Surprisenly, i was at work when my wife called me and informed me that this very neigbour came to visit our child with tubers of yam and diaper(my babe). I was surprised because i wasnt expecting anything from them and i know that they are poor sharing one room. I thanked them. Now they had a new babe and i am planning to pay a visit. My wife asked me what i intend to buy, i told her i want to buy the following: 1 SMA gold 2. Diaper(pampers) 3 detergent(zip big size) and bottles of eve water big sizes. My wife opposed to the above and insist on the following: 1 that it is her sole responsibility to buy things for them, that i should give her the money.( i know she will not buy what i want) 2 she said they uses NAN babe formular and WOW detergent. That i should give them what they use. But the above things i mentioned was what i normally use for my children and i can afford it for them. We are having serious issues on the above now. My wife threatens to seize the items and use it on our children if i buy the ones our children uses. She even alleaged that i have eyes on her on mere alleagation that she talks and laughs with me whenever she is not around and thats the reason i want to buy what our children uses for them. Please i need your candid advice on the above. My wife is also a member of this forum she will also read and learn. Thanks.
Lol.
First thing u should realise is that this is not a big deal. Dont make it one. Women tend to be jealous, its part of thier MO. You have good intentions but if your wife is against it and is pulling the jealousy card jejerly concede the battle to your wife. It can be annoying but its one of the sacrifices u have to make to keep the peace in your home. There will be greater battles to fight where u have to stamp your foot on the ground. This one isnt one of them.

Cheers bro.

Please if i may ask, You are versely conversed in east Asian culture and ways. Have you ever lived in China?

Yes i think her Culture shock would be the various Religions she would be opened ahead to when she travels over there.
Except if She and her Husband decides to the "your religion, your choice" Stuff.
Haha I have seen Various types of women and especially this 21st century chinese women that are worse than Devils themselves. Their Anger is like Hell hath no fury. especially in Cases, which their Husbands were found cheating on them, since they have been faithful on their own part in the Marriage.
Their "Werey" is Worse than the Highest Naija's woman's Werey.
Lol.

Amen. I know she would be Okay. smiley
People like Jason and Farhia (A Japanese guy and a Somalian girl) Although they met in Canada, or the United States i think.
Have done this and they are living very well and both have a Kid now.
Lol, nope, have a few as clients, my job entails me knowing something about their background and personal lives. Hoping on visiting sometime next year though.
I will admit I don't have much experience with Chinese ladies, but from the few I've interacted with, they seem quite docile.

Wow from that Story you just told me, Since you have heard it from a Life party who is also your Friend, Lol i am shocked.
Like really? Well i think not all of them would have just "small equipments" as God created us in different sizes and shapes. Lol

And It doesn't matter the size of a car but how you drive it?
*Clears throath* Hehe. I don't know.
As different Strokes for Different Folks..
I think he's still a Buddist or even a Communist, as even if he turns to a Christian, His family values are still deeply rooted in that religion. Maybe while he's still here he might go to Church from time to time.
A stereotypical outlook of the Chinese male: small equipment, very large libido.

Her major obstacles will be religion and sex. Praying to gods and whatnot; and then the culture shock. Chinese wives have to be very submissive oh, I know how much some of our Nigerian girls hate that word grin

And she should keep away from the white dude angry grin

Lol, no It's not me I was rather putting it "Emphatically"
The stereotypes i kept on mentioning on the Ambw matter was that, For example If you look at the same post, but it was created by someone. you would see most comments Characterizing Asians getting married to blacks/or our naija sisters as not too good, particularly due to highly believed Perceptions of " small sexual organs and stuff". some were even Implying that our sisters here would get married to them because of money.
And i have seen this kind of Marriages work out successfully despite people's comments and all.
Just seeing this, apparently my mentions are acting up today.

Ahem... Since you are not the lady in question lemme say something grin
This girl seems more friendly towards his colleagues than towards the man himself o. For a moment i thot thr handsome dude with the stick was thr lucky groom and the real hubby was the grooms indignant father grin


Its common knowledge that Chinese guys have small peckers. And i am not speaking from heresay alone, one of the girls i mentioned earlier in a relationship with them said she was taken aback the first time she caught a glance of the thing grin, said she almost walked out of the relationship. However lee(not real name) is very caring and giving, quite respectful and financially bouyant. What else does a girl want? And besides, its not the size of the car that matters, its how you drive it, right?

As long as she is willing to settle in Beijing and learn madarin, i think she'll be alright.

P. S hope she's aware chinese are mostly Taoists and buddhists. Is he a Buddhist or a Christian? Thier religious practices can be a little bizzaire.

See the wife's innocent face. D man dey there dey happy no know say na psycho he don marry grin


When they tell you people to follow God's principles in getting married, that marriage is a spiritual union, una no go hear. Its all 'I love him', 'my body, my rules ', premarital sex everywhere, nobody is marrying for true love and sacrifice anymore, they only marry for what they can get out of the marriage and soon after the marriage crashes because foundation on which it was built was faulty from the start.

If the woman was a little more patient instead of 'fighting for her right' this would not have happened. If the man had been man enough and had his pride he wouldnt allow the bride foot the lions share of the bill. Who knows if she paid her own bride-price? That's already taking the headship from you at a very early stage.


I remember attending a wedding where souvenirs were being given away and right there on the platform the wife started raging that her people were not being given gifts. The groom held her hand, she pulled it away. The groom started begging her there on the alter. I just dey laugh for my mind.


No godly principles! Selfishness everywhere! Fighting your partner from the onset. Why claim you love him or her if you cannot sacrifice your comfort or pride to make your partner happy?


Until people go back to God , many marriages will continue to crash and burn!

MizMyColi:
Whatever GDT' means, I'm sure it has a negative connotation, so I rebuke such.

This is not about my married life. This is not about the people who constitute my private life. Please do well to leave them out of the mix.

This is about personality or should I say personality issues.

Lately, I prefer viewing.
And in the course of my viewing, I have watched you (a respected symbol in my perception) and a group of known canterkerous folks shame a certain moniker.

Why?
Because she's a single mum who happens to have an opinion that 'we' don't agree with, so 'we' shame her, and try to put her in her place, call her a failure for choosing to walk out of a marriage she doesn't believe in anymore, call her ugly, taunt her for being an onlooker in the affairs of her son's life, taunt her child's father like we're privy to all her life's details and what have you?

You even went as far as quoting that irritable and highly obfuscative thing the OP posted and emboldened it, just to drive home a point....when you know that it is not always true.

In this section, somebody cannot post pictures in peace or even talk about challenges they face. Why? Because the likes of Francis will save their not too cool pictures/stories and use it to taunt them the moment they begin to have opinions or comments they do not agree with.

It does not make sense. It is unfair.

There are people who do such here and Heaven knows I will never be seen objecting because they simply lack the capacity to reason or be reasonable, but not you.

This is not to say that I support the females' actions on here in totality.

Coco didn't attack you. I think she likes you. I didn't sense any vitriol.

Chilli jokes around a lot. I didn't think she has a personal vendetta. She probably just reined in on the moment.

Dyt made a comment that I seconded and someone who calls himself a father attacked her, albeit subtly.

You posted pictures of your wife in a bid to assert that she is far better than them, did you expect them to applaud and agree?
Though I consider her smile exceptionally beautiful, you would have thrown same negativity if you were in their shoes. An e-war happened here FCOL.

And you people are supposed to be men o.
Real men know when to walk away.
Real men do not engage in pettiness.
Real men will speak up and stand true to their values even when the women come up with their pettiness.

The actions of Mindy and Shay on this thread, I sense, is borne out of Enough-is-Enough.
I imagine that Mindy doesn't exactly feel good that she stooped to body shaming or ridiculing you, but then, it's probably her way of standing for Shay and letting you guys know that you are not the only ones good at throwing vitriols and mockery.

Two of you, I respect. This should stop please. The pound of flesh has been exerted.

My belief, yours and hers, or anyone's for that matter must not tally. It is improper to be on the offensive or defensive about what a person chooses to believe. It only leads to strife. Ordinarily, I would be more interested in seeking out the things I share in common with those who have different belief from mine. Why dwell on things that breed division? Why engage in unproductive arguments which in itself is a form of violence? Why the need to be seen as right and others as wrong?

You people should please return to your roles in this section that bothers on being light and offering practical solutions to people's issues.

Thank you.
Undeniably mature.
Both sides should sheath their swords.
