Lets say me and u we viewingthingsfrom different angle. Am putting her on a saver side to save her marriage bcus she already knows what the problem is so why the road that leads to a broken home. A question is Is divorce the answer ? Many people here are facing worst issues in there marriage but keeping the marriage gives them reward later " as far as violence is not involved though "
My major issue is with the assertion that she has to submit to a man who according to her is currently cheating on her, in order to make the marriage work. Why does she need to submit to that in the name of keeping her marriage together? undecided

Why not ask her instead to stand her ground so she can get that which she desires in her life.. the right to be considered an equal partner in her union? undecided

Should one submits ones very own soul to that which it is against simply to avoid divorce? There are equally many examples of people out there who submitted and ended up regretting it too. So there is no one size fits all in this issue. undecided

[quote author=Kobojunkiee post=105691546] Seems the Op expected to be considered an equal partner in her relationship, or at least to have a say, but is currently being denied that which she wanted. Your suggestion is that she deny herself even more in order to please the man's ego. Is that really what you consider advice? undecided

If this was a daughter of yours, would you advice her to submit to a man who considers her say worthless in marriage? undecided[now i know you're not an in-line reader. I said suggest your best solution for the op. Afterall, i didn't force my suggestion on her.]

I need matured inputs please.

I am a married woman, with a child.

My Marriage has been really rocky. Quarrels every now and then.

What basically causes the problems is our differences, we just don’t understand each other, it wasn’t so visible during dating.

Although we did not date for long....but being married, it has been from one issue to the other, right from a week after our wedding.

I have always contemplated leaving, but I am yet to be fully independent.

Sometime this year, I found out he has been cheating (I was not surprised, but I was heart-broken) my discovery strengthened my resolve to leave the union.

In the process of nursing my heartbreak, I reconnected with an ex, we got talking and he helped my heal. I did not tell him what I was going through at the time...I was just enjoying the attention he was showing me.

I should state that I did not tell my husband about his cheating, I held all the emotions back, it was a very difficult period for me because I am usually the outspoken type.

My ex is not based in the country where me and my husband reside, we just communicate on phone, he says he misses me and would want us to meet when he is in town.

I should also state that my ex was married but divorced.

I would not deny my having feelings for my ex, and I also do not want to believe in a fairytale ending, I am just confused.


Lol. This is what I have always said. If I check your tribe now, I wouldn't be surprised.

You still have feelings for your ex or feelings for his abroad money and comfort?

Your husband did a bad thing cheating on you but I advise both of you to work things out. The only issue is that your eyes don already dey outside. Do as you so please!

No, I recently told him about the cheating part.

Very wrong move

Sometimes I wonder if lots of reason isn't put into certain actions.

You kinda just wanna do an all out revenge and this is what is killing you.

Think before you leap oo because no man will love that child like her father.

It's all about that child now and not about selfish interest. If you let your selfish interest override you it might yield an unexpected end.

As for your husband, if he's truly a cheat as you claim, then it's only time that can check mate him.

Everyone always feel they can control future outcomes but none can't. Just let time deal with him,

It's painful but according to what successful couples have told me is that you build your marriage and home.

Don't bury the betrayal, let it go, free your heart and mind. Look at him as a life time project.

I have seen on two occasions ladies left marriage due to various reasons... Only to meet men who turned out to be violent and abusive.
Re: Advice Needed by LAKPAH: 9:09pm On Sep 10, 2021
Madam do you know Jesus ? If your ex is still interested in you after marriage and a child then he is a wicked and irresponsible man. and do you think you ex doesn't have an other woman in his life? my advice for you are.
1. You child will be the one to suffer at the end, so go back to you husband and tell your ex to go pray over the situation, read the Bible , forgive your husband , and embrace peace.
2. You ex is a cheat that's why he is divorced and soon he will use u and clean mouth. and us you current marriage as an excuss to dump you.
3. Look at God and turn a way from evil, you know your husband has wrong you, going to your ex is not a solution, Jesus is the only solution you need .

Note: The devil is out to destroy families guide your family and don't allow the last 3 years wasted. remember your vow for better for worse , This is the worsre be patient and tell the devil that you worship a leaving God.

That your ex will also cheat and you will be running from one man to the other. My sister stay with your husband. The reality is that 99% of married men still cheat on their wife even the one you envy their marriage and wish yours is/was like theirs. Take your mind of your husband extra marital affairs and focus on raising your children and building a strong home... If your husband take good care of the family without any lack my sister give thanks to Almighty God.

Women have really suffered and will continue to suffer in the hands of African communities.

A man cheats on his wife but doesn't feel any remorse about it by confessing to his wife, yet people are blaming her for her husband's wrong-doing. How can anyone say she should ask her husband why he cheated on her? Really? Will this same energy be given to a woman if she cheats on her husband?

I just wish Prenuptial agreements will be signed into law in Africa, this is the major thing that will reduce the rate of cheating. At least, if you don't want to loose your money to your wife, you would learn to keep IT between your legs!!!!

One reason why I always says Ladies should be financially dependent before going into marriage!!!

Hello there,

I don't support her husband cheating. If she found out he did with evidences, she has every right to dump him...but the payback of a thing, it's not justified.

Her ex will never marry her!

Most men go back to exes to re-accomplish the lost gone sexcapades.

Kobojunkiee:
1. You mention a lack of agreement between you and your husband. Can you give an example of what it is you argue about or can't seem to see eye to eye on? undecided

2. You mentioned he cheated and you were hurt by it. Why not open up, in a non-confrontational manner mind you, about this to him. There is a communication wall that has developed between you two and until that wall starts to come down, nothing is going to change between you two, is what I think here. And you bottling up your hurt isn't making it any better at all.

Marriage cannot survive when both parties isolate themselves emotionally. undecided

3. Leave the ex out of this abeg! The last thing you want is to emotionally cheat on your husband. Two wrongs don't make a right! undecided

Op, this is the best advice here. That’s if you really want to salvage your marriage.

Op. come let me tell you something as a sister to sister. let lives Enlish grammar out of this...lol.

First, you want to retaliate because your husband is cheated on you ... You have suddenly forgotten as a woman that your integrity is as stake here
Secondly, you want to go back to your EX. that doesn't find you worthy as a wife
Thirdly, you want to break your marriage vow which you plegde infront of God and men therefore this can lead to reproach, sin and diseases.
And have you ever consider the situaton you are going to put your child because of your actions and the consequences?

Nigeria men are well know to chop and clean mouth, Yes, they are notorious for doing this...we hate them for it but think of your baby and let this marriage work.
If you really love this man then you can invest in this marriage and it will work for you.

Here is a little test for you:- JUST PRETEND THAT YOU HAVE LEFT YOUR HUBBY AND ASK YOUR EX. TO TELL YOU THE NEXT STEP IN YOUR ''adulterous RELATIONSHIP. if he still continue to pick your call after 2 weeks then you are the queen for him.

a word is a enough for the wise

Your last paragraph made a whole lotta sense.

Better don't pull down the home U ve built with your own hands. I ll advise U to draw Ur husband's attention to d issue of cheat or no cheat so as to hear something from his mouth. This type of problem happened in my house just 2 months ago n my wife confronted me wt same allegation of cheat. Truth be told,I never expected her to say it to my face but she did.I was a bit diplomatical n end up twisting her that d allegation is not true ( knowing fully well that she's correct). We settled it amicably n things returned to normal. D earlier U cut off from dt Ur ex d better

Madam, one thing is telling me you don't respect your husband at home, you don't allowing him to be the man and take charge. If you are having your say every time, you will frustrate your man and create a communication brick wall.

When communication is near zero, a man is not allowed to be man and you control as a woman. The man will cheat, and thats what is happening, he will find another woman who will worship him.

Solution now, discuss very very politely about you challenges in the marriage and promise to make amends. And I believe he will promise to make amends

Leave the cheating aspect, pretend as if it was not important. Let his conscience deal with him.

He will retrace his steps. The reason, he cheated was cos of the crisis into he home initially. He needed a soul mate, so far you cannot be that for him, he found another woman.

Pls calm down and build your marriage. God will intervene
