What shame?what mockery huh..?
Are you trying to please brainless persons or what?
Let them talk live your life..you are bothering yourself unnecessarily..
** am a single mum of **** wink so I see no big deal there..


Now coming to solution are the kids gonna be in your custody or his?look life as a divorced woman is quite strenuous..from stereotype to being alone to your mental health to the daft society who are always gonna criticize you..

Just get hold of yourself and wave it off..as a divorced woman I bet you gonna be more self confident.. productive and enjoy your life more..follow your passion and take care of yourself properly.. welcome to the club of unlimited merriment.. grin grin cheesy wink

You sound contradictory. Go through your write up again without biases.
However, being a Single mum is not something we all should be rejoicing about, the impacts, consequences are there staring in our faces. Shouldn't be a lifestyle we should be advocating for, it must be discouraged.
In conclusion, they (single mum) still deserve a niche in Society and should be well integrated.

In this part the world? Devoice can be messy if the woman is not financially stable. Infact it's money that is making alot of women stuck in a sad marriage that they can't move out of. I have seen men and women going back and forth to welfare office because the man refused to take care of the children, and remember most people In Nigeria don't do court marriage.
You are absolutely right bro. Alot of women are willing to dump the ass of their husband long time ago. Sadly, they are stuck in there due to their poor finances. Women are really going through a lot in the name of marriage and they can't move out. Not because they love their husband that much or what people would say. Rather, the monetary part of it makes them remain in that messy marriage

I have them in my neighbourhood and i really feel for them. Some men cheat and rubb it to their wives face claiming she can't do nothing.

Women needs to be educated and empowered before marriage. It's very very neccesary seriously. Especially in this our naija where nothing absolutely works

You will be fine!

Trust me!

But your kids growing up without a fatherly figure, will forever have a psychological impact on them.

The brunt of divorce is bared by the kids. You and their father will be fine.


a divorced woman, especially with kids, is never fine in Africa and even in many instances in the West.

My dear, divorce is never the best option. I have read a lot of comments here. Reasonable and unreasonable.

But truly, u would be the next vulnerable specie on ground. Friends would confuse you and temptations wud arise. Financial instability and loneliness creeps in.

In life, marriage is never a bed of roses but ability to subdue things in as much as there are no physical confrontations. Allow the man and his ego rule. Get into the blanket and tinkle that that would make him smile and give u the powers to control him.

In as much as u are not cheating on him. EMBRACE GOD ALMIGHTY. Prayers binds marriage and good attitude helps. Be that company.

I pray u guys get over it and come together. The kids are the endangered. We are not the oyibo people that do anyhow. We have a cultural background and live with it. Let's not allow wayward single or broken relationship olosho girls or women shatter our marriages.

The case is still in court though.

We are blessed with 3 kids under 10.

Soon the divorce will be finalized and we will both move on.

MY ADVISE TO YOU IS SIMPLY TO ENJOY YOUR LIFE AND FORGET ABOUT ANYTHING TO DO WITH MARRIAGE.


ALSO, DO NOT TURN YOURSELF INTO HIS BABY SITTER, EVERYBODY MUST CONTRIBUTE THEIR FAIR SHARE.


GO OUT AND GET A LIFE, IF IT IS BUSINESS TRY TO SET IT UP OR EDUCATION STUDY.


BETTER, YET YOU NOW FREE TO ENJOY ALL THOSE RELATIONSHIP OPPORTUNITY YOU PASS UP AS A MARRIED WOMAN.


BET AVOID HAVING ANY FURTHER KIDS, AS 3 IS ENOUGH.


LIVE AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE.

I guess you are not married, obviously you have little knowledge on the emotional aspect of the case at hand. Since you think marriage is not for everybody, will you gladly say amen if I pray that you will remain single for life?
This your last statement shows how myopic you are. No doubt, you must have really been brainwashed to think you are way better than any single person out there. Take this from me man. Hell No! No one is better than anyone

Humans can survive on one kidney that’s the context of my message. Having two kidneys is good . Just like having a partner but if life goes the other way round then you’ve to adjust and survive with one.
That’s a typical lesson the kidney teaches us as humans .

Are you in favour of the divorce or you want to explore arbitration? It's not easy being a divorcee irrespective of gender.

Do me a favor. Don't discuss their fathers negative sides with and don't call him names in your children's presence. Don't even insult him if he exhibits his negatives and advise him to do same. Give him the maximum respect you gave him while married. Let the kids be your connection and their welfare your main concern. Let him see them regularly and make sure they see him periodically.

But I believe both of you can explore settlement and I pray so.

Someone is seeking advice and you are bringing your Jesus...this is physical and needs physical solution..Jesus have no business here..

Even if you aint a Christian that doesn't mean you will write of Jesus from this situation!

Christ is not interested in making situation bad but making them good. I sense you are a Muslim or a non believe, even if you are not what I just mention allow her involve Jesus because they are some situation that is only Jesus that can fix it. It is the Spirititual that control the physical.

Who knows? The husband might not be in his right sense so with prayers and good advice things might work out.

Having a devoice in Nigeria is not a joke especially when is not in the western world.
Re: So I Am Getting A Divorce... How Do I Adjust? by abimic(m): 10:17am On Jan 08, 2022
It is very disheartening to hear that as much as you wanted the marriage, the man wants otherwise. You just have to re-program yourself to move on. It is always always good when couples have a bible believing church they attend, where when they have issues that all in-house methods cannot resolve, they meet with their pastor and counsel both parties on way forward and help resolve the issues. we cannot take the house of God away from instilling proper guidance in some homes where they seem to be going astray.

I hate hearing divorce when both parties can applicably table their matters together to each other, make a workaround and resolve it selflessly. As a woman, you have many tools at your disposal when you start noticing some derails at the point the tiding was still good. I am sure the house of God would have helped in this regard also if you both had a church you are deeply rooted in. The kids would not be happy to hear when they grow that their parents separated when both parties can put behind their interests and make things work.

Anyway, if the divorce finally happens, please give your kids a very sound moral upbringing, and talk to them about the words of God, do not paint their dad bad( as everything happens for a reason), move on, do not be shameful as divorce is not the end of life, change environment, hang out with your kids and sometimes alone, chop life, get married again if you so desire and see you cannot handle the loneliness. Enjoy!

Rest before you go derail this thread with your myopic mindset..tell that to her husband not her..na by force to marry?

Which one is your own. He gave his opinion how e take disturb you.

And by the way his opinion seems to be the best so far.

All the rest are just decieving the lady.

For the man to want divorce and not the lady speaks a lot about the lady.

Men dont ask for divorce unless there has been multiple marital infractions from the lady that can no longer be tolerated.

If you are not ready to play by the rules of marriage why get into it. It's that simple.

I would have advise to try settle things amicably but for a man to serve you divorce notice, that means he has made up his mind.
From the single female parent I have related with, life ain't easy especially the emotional and financial aspect.
Alot of men will be coming to your DM now claiming to accept you with your children, believe me most just want a share of your body.
HOW I WISH IT HASN'T GOTTEN TO THIS DIVORCE STAGE, BUT THE TRUTH IS, IT IS ONLY GOD THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR HUSBAND MIND NOW.
