Re: Marriage In Distress: Need Advice by modele2: 2:15pm On Mar 28, 2012
I read all, becos i was so curious to know how it ended or solid advice that was given. Why? becos i have or perharps am still going thru this kind of situation, mines better becos its not an ex and its not one woman, but i am sure its just about messages text, BB, FB etc. I am sure becos there is really no room for physical fowl play, he returns home early and we spend weekends together.

Unfortunately i saw no solid advice or gameplan, i needed a man in the house to give me a good gameplan, i think the women in the house are just speculating no offence.

I have tried the viscious confrontation, that one backfired with the issue now being how insultive and physcial i was.On another expose, I then tried the begging crying comfrontation and that lead to an apology but no restitution, I finally tried the logical, matured conversational approach and no show. The result of each of this scenarios lead to him locking up his gadget saying i had no right to read his messages blah blah...that for me shows an unrepentant spirit. He tired keeping his phone clean, deleting messages that just arrived or records of compromising phone calls. The ones i saw i just stumbled on, i wasnt searching for anyting in particular.

HE feels justified becos he dosent sleep with them, but we all know thats how it starts and it makes me scared for him and myself in the future. After the last episode, where i stumbled on a compromising message i decided not to dwel on it. Am getting tired of the whole denial saga, besides i have a semblance of peace and happiness in the home. Basically i have thrown in the towel on that episode hoping feverently it doesent consume us in the future...but what can i do.

So long and short, men in the house can we get fresher, better game plans to break this kind of emotional bondage. For him he is having fun and feels he is immune to fallin headlong, hes just playing with fire. embarassed

Your man needs a friend- find out if you are the friend he wants. Check out your conversational skills
Check out the characters of his friends.
Find out if you have given up some things you used to do that attracted him.
Check out your cleanliness.
Has he ever suggested some changes?

Are you ageing faster just because you are married? Have you overlooked your size?

Lets give a specific example' He likes going clubbing, you used to go with him and now you cannot because you are married.... that's just a hypothetical example but it happens in reality.

@ Op you got a womanizer on your hands here ooo. Look you got a few options either stay and find ways to make yourself happy whether it be your job, a new hobby etc. Try to be the source of your happiness and ignore this man the best you can. Or you can get a divorce and go your own way. My expereice with womanizers is that they dont change so if you stay with him you got to change so you dont go crazy.
Re: Marriage In Distress: Need Advice by queensmith: 6:24pm On Mar 28, 2012
Modele, i am a woman and not a cheating man so im not sure you will respect my opinion. it seems to me like you dont know what you want, i advise you not to bother yourself and ignore any suspicious activity. Even when he begins to come home late, just remember in future that its all your fault because you did not set the standards before going into marriage. A man will give you the respect and love you demand, the minute you show him his lack of discipline and respect for the marriage is ok to you is the moment you lose the fairytale marriage and you live with the consequences. This goes out to other women that place having a husband above having self respect, you get what is coming to you when you don't appreciate the value of YOUR happiness, dont complain when the man acts it out!

This is the most self conceited post that I have ever seen. What are you feeling like? Did someone force you to post a response Not everyone is like you and some women do not possess the mental toughness to confront such challenges. They come on this platform hoping that someone
that has passed through a similar situation, would be able to guide them right. You do not have to patronise them with your comments but at least be humane enough not to ridicule their circumstances. For Goodness sake, Modele2 has as much right as you to post her marital challenges on this forum and if you don't have anything to say to her, ignore her problem and phock off the thread. What makes you Jennykadry think that you're the Primadonna queen of advise on the family section? Phock off, if you're tired of givin advice, someone else would.
@Modele2: Am sorry for what you must be going through, but now is the time to stamp your feet on the ground and decide the way forward In your marriage. If talking to him to make him understand your challenges doesn't work then I advise that one of these weekends you leave him to stay with your parents or an elderly relative. Though before you go, write a clear and sincere letter of the pain you're going through. Detail the expectations and the joy you had hope to share in your marriage with him and how frustrated you feel that he isn't acting to the term of your union. In short, pour your heart in the note. If he TRULY loves and RESPECT you, he would come knocking. Take care.

Look modele2 you are not the only one going through this situation, I also find myself witht he same type of man you have in your house. Listen try to take your mind off this man, my sister if you study him you will go mad. Do things that make you happy, go to the salon, read books, play with your children, do things with your work, make yourself feel happy, because i am afraid your husband is not willing to do that for you right now. If you cannot take it anymore then go your own way, leave him and divorce. But if you stay come up with a new game plan which makes staying with him bearable until he comes back to his senses. My sister you are not alone in this. There are people on nairaland facing the same situation as you,and we care about you!

@aigboma
thanks thats exactly what i am doing...i wrote in just wondering if there was anyother way, becos i believe this way would drift us apart, were only 3years in.

@queensmith
i smiled when i read ur post becos i used to be called 'Tatcher'or 'women liberator'...i dont take nonscence. Infact it was part of my problem when we got married he got in with a mentality of me being a stubborn wild horse he had to break. If u read my post well u would see that i have tried different reactions to the problem.I just wanted a new direction. I am really not the mopping weepy type....

@agba123
Thanks very constructive reply. If i am asked i would say i am his best friend o, esp as it is not one single woman, its like he misses his old flirty days and sees it as a game.Well he has complained that my gist is always too long, that half is gossip and another half is something that would deflate his ego.Most times i am just trying too hard to make conversation, so i think i should take a cue from there. On the aging and cleanliness stuff thats not an issue, i take pretty good care of my self and my weight is under control. He has no close male friends either.

@livapul86
Thanks for the voltron stance....left for me some people are better left ignored. I have never really tot of a leter sha, thats another good one.will definitely do thanks.

Re: Marriage In Distress: Need Advice by queensmith: 2:06pm On Mar 29, 2012
@Modele, well i guess you have to bring that attitude back. Set the standards of your marriage ,give him ultimatums you can stick to. Let him no you are no door mat to be trampled over. Regain respect for your self and develop a no nonsense attitude. Look at it this way, if you allow your husband to continue to treat you this way your sons will know no better and your daughters will carry it into their own relationships. You dont want your daughters to live this way do you? Please help us break this cycle and raise children that know what relationships are really about. Mutual understanding and respect.
Re: Marriage In Distress: Need Advice by agiboma(f): 10:44am On Mar 30, 2012
@Modele in my expreince with this type of man confrontation does not work. I know cause i fight with mine for over 18 months straight and nothing good came out of it. We have been together for 9 years now,so for me i simply just focus on other things these days and surprisingly he is more interested as i do this. He cares what i say, he listens to me now and i have a flashback of the man i once knew the hubby i loved years ago. Now all this change does not happen over night so have patience, it will work out in the end. wink

d on her shoulders.

I agree, but I won't call it a good head, she knows what she's wants and that's to remain married no matter what.
Not a bad thing if the op can learn to kill her character completely. But in yet to meet a woman with such low respect for herself that she'll sell her very being for an illusion. O well!

OP, you are obviously a drama queen. Maybe I need to go back and read the posts again, but I do not recall you catching your husband cheating. You saw some text messages from the ex, that is probably not even in the same city, and you threw yourself into a depression. First off, stop checking his phone. Why do you keep setting yourself up to be unhappy? The girl is not evene in the same city, so find something else to focus your time on. Your husband is actually very gentle. There is no way in this world I will beg a girl to stay with me. If you want to leave, go ahead and leave with your two kids and see how easy it is. Please stop disturbing us with your self inflicted melodarama....

@ify-all-ways,
Must you always fly off the handle?
Did you bother to read what I wrote at all?
Have you bothered to read what I have been writing or like the others you are too engrossed in trying to prove you are in a perfect marriage? So that people like the OP who obviously has issues with her marriage can feel inferior to you and your ilk?
And by the way Please LEARN to spell my user name right.Thank you.

Good for you Agiboma, sometimes when you focus on the problem for too long, it becomes a problem, for men, just give them the space they so much want in few minutes, with you focusing on other things, that is when they will be in your business. smiley smiley
