My question is what could possibly make a man thrown in the towel and walk out of his marriage after so many years together?

I will like to know.
Peace of mind...

He is a very principled man. Very religious and doesn't play with his God been a devoted Muslim. Extremely rich and bless with four grown up children with the second of his children getting married in a month time.

He retired from the bank 2 years ago having risen to the pinnacle of his career in the banking industry having served in different capacities for almost 35 years.

Yes, the wife is uncultured and ill-mannered. He knows already and has been managing her all these years.

He is presently in court seeking to divorce his wife and has vowed that nothing would stop him from divorcing his wife.

His wife is uncultured and ill mannered all these years and he put up with it? So he has been sleeping with and breeding an uncultured and ill mannered lady for decades and he is just realizing now that he needs a divorce? There's more to this than meets the eyes!

So far is your uncle you can ask him the question you asked us

You are the one that can answer this question not social media.

He is your uncle. Let elders in your family intervene if you feel like saving the marriage.

But make sure its not life threatening.

On a second thought. Given your account that the wife is I'll mannered, its possible that your uncle has seen well mannered your lady that give him all he needs. But for a marriage of over 3 decades. What he needs after retirement is rest of mind.

Let elders in the family or senior person s from his religion circle intervene.

It's all well and good to speculate about this family.
But, let's consider these:

What did this man do with his energetic years?
Was he a present dad or the 'drop money' type?
Was he a faithful husband?
Was he peaceful with his family when he was the sole authority?
How can 6 people gang up against you without an exception? (Is the mother's juju that strong?)
He decided, unilaterally, to sell a property without considering his family's opinion, is that the right thing to do?

I personally suspect that he has an away child or children somewhere and the main family is already fighting for property early before his expected demise.
Else, why would he file for divorce on a whim if he doesn't have options hidden somewhere?


P. S. Nigerians always tell women to endure horrible marriages, but when it comes to men?
'he needs peace of mind' becomes the mantra.

Permission to sell his own property?

He seek peace now that he is retired and likely to spend more time at home. Back in the days, he could easily escape to work while she does her wahala but now that his bones are growing tired and not able to easily escape, he needs to find someone who understands the importance of peaceful cohabitation or close shop on company.

By the way, it's not a gender monopoly, we all want peace now and always. I had some encounter with a fighting couple some 2 days ago and was scared to my marrow. Na real wa....why are people fighting biko! Whew!
I think you have a perfect understanding of how it works already.

He's retired, mostly staying at home with the wife. Now he has seen her failures, he knows there's no chance of living long with such a woman..
In cases like this, I would advise such a man to build a different house for the wife, they have gotten matured children so divorcing isn't the best.
you are right
Re: My Uncle Has Decided To End His Marriage Of 30 Years by Lewandoski20(m): 6:42pm On Oct 17, 2021
He probably could endure the wife’s of excesses because he was going to work and had some kind of distractions. Now retired, he’s constantly having to deal with a nagging woman. He wants to elongate his life a little. He can’t come and kill himself when h should be enjoying retirement benefits.

This is happening in my own family right now. My mother was always telling my older brother that our father's house was his own.She will say things like do you want to spoil the kitchen sink and block the drainage system, don't you know this house is yours.

My mother was always talking with my older brother in private and filling his head with only god knows what.My brother will misbehave and when confronted he will fight with my older sisters and be saying things like do and go marry, this is not your house. You have married, go to your husband's house I don't know what you are looking for here

Today he is over 40 and still living in our father's house with our parents. My father was telling me that to even buy bread or gas in the house he does not, yet he works. I think he is waiting for the day our father will die so the house can go to him like he has was told over the years.My father has never said anything about the house being his own or talked about a will or inheritance, but mother and son since decided who is getting the house.

I like my mother she is honestly not a bad person just flawed but this thing you have talked about is so real and I don't know if some mothers do it knowingly or unknowingly. She has now seen how her 2 male children are useless and not helpful, last month I sent her some money and she was thanking and blessing me saying it is we the female children that are actually helpful. I said to myself so it is now you know.

I pray I don't make the same mistakes with my own sons. Me and my sisters want to put money together to renovate the house for our parents comfort but one is not very interested and she has been asking, why should we spend money renovating a house for our brother to come and inherit. He is not even the first born child.

Sorry for the long talk, your post just triggered me to talk. I also support what you said on another thread about training children to be independent and responsible enough to hustle their success instead of fighting over inheritance and fathers properties. I have noticed that it is mainly male children who do this dragging of inheritance and fighting for property
Thank you indeed for sharing your story. Sadly, a large number of families are dysfunctional and probably worse in this aspect. This is a sad reality!

If I were your uncle, I will not leave 1 curtain to those kids.


Let him go ahead and sell the house and build a retirement home and make plans for his burial like Gani Fawehinmi did!



Did the wife contribute to the assets for her to have that effontery to say he should leave it for the kids?


Uncle should sell everything and relocate to the village!!!!!!!!
