I Am In A State Of Confusion by AneemA: 12:53pm On Jan 02, 2022
Hi guys, I am new here but I have viewed this forum from time to time (not often, but the vibe I get from ppl here is something I am interested to get some for my own case).

Please dont use pidgin coz I dont speak it.

So my case is this.

I have married with a Nigerian guy in my country. I am a South-east Asian.

Long story short, this guy who is my husband now has not given me much ever since we got married. He is one of those yahooboys. He said he hasn't got any other options of getting money except doing this thing. This 'work' I actually stated I don't like him doing from time to time but well, I am not too firm about that. He isn't making much at all from doing it, in fact all these almost 4 yrs we're together, he just made only 3 or 4 sum of money from it. I honestly can count with fingers how many he provided with that money , meaning buy things or pay bills but the majority of the time I am the one who is providing, food, bills, and even money he spent to do some juju to work on his "spiritual blockages" (he said one of his extended family is the one who spiritually chains him to make it here). I got married religiously with him not bringing any single dime, no ring, no legal papers made, no nothing but I persevered, thinking I should try to understand his hardship. Our family made him convert to my religion then after a couple of yrs, he went back to Christianity (he is an Igbo). The actual reason we got married was because I got pregnant and it's a taboo for a woman to carry a child without a husband. My family disapproved abortion so there we were with the marriage. But after we got married, I got miscarriage. So there is no baby. Then a while later he asked me to have another baby, at first I didn't like the idea as his financial condition isn't well enough to provide a family, he cannot provide me well enough as a wife, then how would he be able to have more as responsibility but he argued that by grace of god this baby will be a blessing and argued that people don't have to have millions of dollars to have baby. So here we are our baby has grown a year now.
His finance isn't improving whatsoever. And I am the sole provider of the house.
He sometimes also took my money without telling, oblivious to the fact that I am struggling to make ends meet.

I have grown TIRED.

Finance problem aside, I have also become aware that his ego is too much to handle. I think he is quite arrogant. He is also wary of me nagging and snapping from time to time. I know my words can be hurtful and disrespectful, yes.

But we are TIRED of each other.

Words of getting separated were thrown around from my side quite a few times during our marriage but we never actually execute that.

I am tired and I don't think I can handle this hardship no more. If he thinks I am not the right person for him as I tend to let him down with my nagging and snaps, so be it, I acknowledge it myself. I am not a good fit. We are not a good fit for each other.

He always told me the problem is that I don't trust him thats why I never listen. I am sorry, but truth to be told, he hasn't shown enough proof that he has been serious for me or fight for me (dared I need to mentioned, ever since we were still dating, he never came to my house nor asked me out on a date).
How can he feel so entitled of my trust where not much he can put on the table to garner the trust?
Such an entitled nigerian man!

Bruv! Look at the facts and just stop lying to my face!

I even thought he has been "workin on me" like he tries as yahooboys.

I am frustrated and stuck.

Now we have a child together and separation isn't looking well for his growth but I swear to God this 2022 I can't tolerate none of his shit no more!

Help me with some perspectives here. I don't need validation of how hurtful I am right now coz my feelings are VALID.
I just need some perspectives to get my head straight.
Ask me questions if you need to in case I missed mentioned some aspects of my case.

Your husband is trying his best to provide a good life for you.

Support him
Pray for him
Help him

He is a strong black man

When he finally makes it, you'll have a stress free life.

I am now tired. I will try to support, pray and help him again later coz now I am pretty much smashed down.. sigh.

I don't know about him but I think he is double-smashed.

I am not sure if we are still together in this marriage mentally and emotionally because I sense a huge ambiance of separation even when we are living under the same room.

I believe he has grown too tired of me. Maybe it's just a matter of months before he actually checks out. From me. Not from our child, I know he loves him so much.

But the fact the I have hurt his feelings from my snaps will be no surprise to lead him to leave him.

I don't know if I try again the support, help and pray for him will make any difference. I think our relationship has broken into pieces.

Thanks for your input. As bad as I think he is, he isn't a ritualist nor use anyone for rituals but then again who knows..

I am trying to persuade him to go to another island where he mentioned to give a try to improve his situation but I won't spend anymore money for him to get there. Or maybe I will in the future if I need him to stand on his feet.

I still believe very much that my son needs him. Afterall, with him being a house-husband unwillingly, creates stronger bond between them.. and I am dead afraid he will kidnap my son if he is too upset!

Well if that's really a case, i think I made him understood that I have stopped becoming his client. I understand the reasons why he is making me as a client. I am not that mad because I understand his condition, and I blame Nigerian gov for not being able to provide Nigerian youths and citizens in general to make it better in life.

But I am no longer willing to serve him as a client. I want him to take me as his wife. And if he can't, just like how yahooboys stops receiving money from their clients, he will leave me. And that's fine too even though I have wasted my years.

bird's of the same feathers. The op shouldn't follow your advice. Divorce the he-goat and start afresh. Yahoo isn't a work, he should go and learn a skill for survival. Leave him now before you become a
victim, before he use you for ritual.

Since our marriage hasn't been made legally, our son is legally my son. His name is not placed in his birth certificate.

No, in my country. Never been to Nigeria. He hasn't even come back to his country ever since he got here due to lack of money.

Sorry for your ordeals. And I want you to know that time and chance happens to everyone. So, just be a little bit patient.

But I am a little bit curious; how do you know a lot about yahoo? I get the part that your husband does it, but how eloquent you are about it is interesting.

And oh! You also sound a lot like a Nigerian.
Re: I Am In A State Of Confusion by Danielkelly: 1:55pm On Jan 02, 2022
To be honest with you Asia..,
your situation is like the proverb in Nigeria that says:
If you ask me nah who i go asksad the matter when we dey see so e don tay when e start.

If you feel you aren't seeing a future with him(He is not being the man, rather you are.) and thats not what you "need".
The same way he married you is the same way you can unmarried him. NAIRALANDERS SHA AM MAKING SENSE!gringrin

So why are you giving yourself issues, inform the police in your country incase he tried anything funny and leave him alone.
He's not responsible..

Trust me, if he hit huge amount of money, he will leave your country the next day. I bet you.

I am also tired of this Yahoo boys lifestyle, they are romantic online and moneymatic offline.
I am also tired for your greediness when you saw the handwritings. You took the moneymatic and let say Sig. Exciting lifestyle they live.... Well, let me leave you. Now you are an emotional being who must feel loved like a kid. Meanwhile the yahoo syndrome has made the man jump onto another, you're indecisive.

Nah. I am not reporting him. He has never hit me nor doing something violent. He has never violated the law here either other than of course for overstaying (and that's due to lack of money either). And I don't need to put more problems on top of all his problems by calling him out. It doesn't solve anything.

If he hits huge amount of money and leave me, so be it. I don't really care. He can go rich if he makes that jackpot, I don't give a flying Bleep about that money.
Least he can provide for himself. Not me providing for him coz as a woman, it will make me see him less as a man.

I am trying to talk him out of this deceitful job and get an honest living even though it means to work as a bricklayer.

I have married with a Nigerian guy in my country. I am a South-east Asian.

Long story short, this guy who is my husband now has not given me much ever since we got married. He is one of those yahooboys. He said he hasn't got any other options of getting money except doing this thing. This 'work' I actually stated I don't like him doing from time to time but well, I am not too firm about that. He isn't making much at all from doing it, in fact all these almost 4 yrs we're together, he just made only 3 or 4 sum of money from it. I honestly can count with fingers how many he provided with that money , meaning buy things or pay bills but the majority of the time I am the one who is providing, food, bills, and even money he spent to do some juju to work on his "spiritual blockages" (he said one of his extended family is the one who spiritually chains him to make it here). I got married religiously with him not bringing any single dime, no ring, no legal papers made, no nothing but I persevered, thinking I should try to understand his hardship. Our family made him convert to my religion then after a couple of yrs, he went back to Christianity (he is an Igbo). The actual reason we got married was because I got pregnant and it's a taboo for a woman to carry a child without a husband. My family disapproved abortion so there we were with the marriage. But after we got married, I got miscarriage. So there is no baby. Then a while later he asked me to have another baby, at first I didn't like the idea as his financial condition isn't well enough to provide a family, he cannot provide me well enough as a wife, then how would he be able to have more as responsibility but he argued that by grace of god this baby will be a blessing and argued that people don't have to have millions of dollars to have baby. So here we are our baby has grown a year now.
His finance isn't improving whatsoever. And I am the sole provider of the house.
He sometimes also took my money without telling, oblivious to the fact that I am struggling to make ends meet.

I have grown TIRED.

Finance problem aside, I have also become aware that his ego is too much to handle. I think he is quite arrogant. He is also wary of me nagging and snapping from time to time. I know my words can be hurtful and disrespectful, yes.

But we are TIRED of each other.

I just need some perspectives to get my head straight.
Ask me questions if you need to in case I missed mentioned some aspects of my case.

What is his highest level of education?

Pls stop the nagging and snapping. It may be difficult, but please stop it. You are actually making things worse for both of you by doing so.
