ityP:Really, I am not sure what is wrong with you people. Listen, I told you how it was from God since the guy mentioned God King Solomon wrote Proverbs. He gave advise based on many reasons. Regardless of it, if I sit you down with Prov 31, you will just close your mouth in shame. You people just use a verse for your own good. Let me give you one example: Oh! She must cook. She must do everything. She must take care of the house. Must she do all alone? Listen and listen carefully, the days of Solomon, he wrote according to what happened then (situation on ground). Now let me give show you: Vs. She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants Ok. She must cook...and bla bla bla. But did you read the part "partions for her female servants". Did you read one servant? Nope. Multiple servants. In the days of Solomon, the woman did what? She supervised most things. So, what did the female servants be do? Oh! She washed their clothes, bla bla bla. In fact, the female servants crossed legs while she cooked and took care of the kids. So, the question is this: how many female servants did you provide your wife in order for her to be efficient? Yet, you want to Lord Lugard. The money you provide sef, you tell her to put down also. Did they tell you women put down in the days of Solomon? If you dont get outta my mention, you will hate yourself. You want women to take care of home, but you the useless man dont want to provide her servants to assit her. You are a capital joke. You turned your wife to a servant by not providing her servants. So, you are the monster. You are a real monster. And the joke is on you. Go and research me who provided their wives servants, they are kings. And those who cant afford it should help. That's the price to pay. But you want to be the lord but you dont want to give her servants. See eh...she will knock that your head and make you look like a fo.ol. really, you are far from one. Lol |

emmyyoung688: I understand your drift but as much as we like to take the easy way out of our marital issues/problems, it only gives us relief from the demands of the pressing issues and allows the problems to fester. Of course, I clearly understand the case of irreconcilable differences. |

Kobojunkie: I like the bolded, couples should freely define their relationship based on what works well for them. However in this case the wife's definition of a home isn't working for the husband. Three days ago I was chatting with a clan's man in anguish; his home had fallen off the rail ever since madam found a new church. She would rather perform tasks at the pastor. You sound very much like you live in a western styled society. Whilst I can be liberal about most things a typical African marriage draws parallels to a western one. In most African culture a man could always get a second wife while in the West a fellow man could marry another. Consequently societal expectations and marriage roles can't be same in the West and Africa. If it's okay for Obama to do the dishes daily whilst Michelle does a manicure its not for Goodluck Johnathan. Just saying.. I can only wish the OP well. My own marriage crumbled four years ago after beeing treated like shit in the midst of a severe health crisis and abandoned by a woman I could give my life for. Only recently have I healed realising life is ten times better without her. For a guy who once believed in sacrifice and tolerance to make your marriage work when kids are involved, authoritatively I can now tell anyman to watch out for themselves and their sanity first. A man is better off divorced but alive and looking after his kids than being in a grave and dungeon in the name of marriage. I don't know at what point I could consider marriage again but still I want my kids mum to be equally involved in the kids lives as much as I am. 2 Likes |

neonly:To me I will say that, God hates divorce, I mean separation, you've been living together for 15 good years, you should have understand the kind of woman your wife is, jumping out of the marriage now is not the answer to your problem, all what you need to do is to wake her up in the middle of the night, trace where the problems comes from, talks about it make her understand that taking care of the family is our primary responsibility, that job and others are secondary, try and listen to her views, let her speak her mind out, then both of you will come together and sort it out, as a man you need to come down and protect your marriage, if not because of your wife but because of your childrens, divorce or separation is not the right decision, the devil we have known 15 years is better than the Angel you just know, come down be tolerant, God will help you. |

Kobojunkie:can't you read and deduce that he's stressed?.....are you taking into cognisance his mental health?........Guy said he's depressed...or he should wait till when he breaks down and his bp reaches the roof and dies. Your lots will come forward and type rip and start calling the woman a widow. That's why we have widows all over the place. Some even have associations.

The moment you accepted to start going to the market bathing the kids for school doing home chores all these while she does nothing and goes to work. That was the moment she saw you finish. No matter what these modern girls say nowadays on social media that they want men who helpout in kitchen and in the home, better know its the devil speaking through them without their knowing. The moment you start doing those things even them will start looking down on you gradually. Nature has made men MEN and women WOMEN. We cant change our nature no matter the modernity or education we claim to have. Once you start acting like a woman in the home by taking up her role you start losing respect and attraction. Even her cant control her reaction to such. 2 Likes |

Bro, I painstakingly read all the comments in this thread to reach at this conclusion. From your response, you acknowledged that you did something wrong to your wife which derailed you marriage and you failed to state it. My observation: She is still bearing grudges against you, in so doing using every means to get back at you. The summary is she has not forgiven you, to the extent that she hates your child that is close to you shows deep and bottled anger against you. My Advice: Call her on her good mood and have a heart to heart talk with her. Show her that you are truly sorry for whatever you may have done in the past. Let her see reasons that abandoning her home and neglecting her children in the guise of getting back at you will affect the children at the long run. She has the right to be mad at you but transferring the aggression to the children is a no no. Finally, present the issue to God in prayer and ask him to change your wife's heart towards you, while you earnestly seek for her forgiveness. If you do all this and she refuses to change, my brother you can't kill yourself. Arrange for a matured helper that will be in your payroll that will be coming around to do the house chores and probably cooking. Continue to show your wife love and hope for the best. Shalom! 2 Likes 1 Share |

I read where op made a statement about his area being full of girls, and that side chicks will come and go. I don't know whether that is a veiled admission or not. Whatever the case maybe, the wife surely has an axe to grind with him. I am certain that the op has not said everything. He is holding back. If he has been keeping side chicks especially during his trips, or around, this may be responsible for the woman's action. Assuredly, she's over doing it as it's affecting the children. What's she learning in the church she frequently attends. I guess people are wired differently |

Married for 12 years. Sorry bro,I won't be able to share some of the stories here. It's actually a sad story to be honest.It just made me to put all women in the same category, from mother,sister,wife and MIL.They are all the same selfish as*holes Just man up and don't take sh*t from any of those beings. All of them will leave you without blinking an eye anytime anyday. Kobojunkie: |

neonly: Based on what you have mentioned no Man wish to pass through what you are currentling enduring but sincerely speaking ending your marriage of 15 years isn't a good decision, consider the fate of your Children first, do you want them to be product of a broken home? Which i knew is capital NO. So in the business of marriage Communication is very vital.... division of labour is important in this case: divide the house chores among yourselves. If you are a Muslim i suggest you should look for a decent lady to marry as a second wife otherwise manage what you hav but dont even think about divorce again. |
Re: Am About To End My 15yrs Marriage by Babinski: 8:24am On Sep 28, 2021 |
ahnie: Building a business is hard. Building a marriage is hard. Most times people don't see marriage as an institution that require work and commitment. All the things that make building a great work team also apply to marriage. Things like communication, sacrifice, trust and looking out for each other. If a hard working team member suddenly changes attitude, you try to trace back what went wrong and how can it be corrected for the overall good of the team. When such happens in marriage, some spouses simply say their partners changed and start the blame game without bothering to trace issues. From all the OP has said, it is difficult to give any advice without assumptions. I would tell him to either give more details or go back and communicate with his wife. Let them trace back and bare their minds to each other to know what went wrong. There is hardly smoke without fire. It is against the law of nature that people suddenly change without any reason at all. |

NB: if all the measures prove abortive consider taking the issue to her parents or whoever you think she will listen to. 1 Like |
