Am not a good writer so forgive any grammar error or spellings.

One thing I want to believe is that you have not poured your heart about how you feel about the betrayal. My suggestion is both of you alone in a room. Sit him down tell him to shut up and not say a word not even sorry when you are talking. Tell him how you grew to trust him, married him and how that trust was broken with his betrayal (cry � if you feel like crying or shout if you feel like shouting). Pour out every bit of grief, disappointment, betrayal, no forgiveness and even the hate you have in your heart.

On this part you are responsible for your judgement. If he apologizes after you have said your heart I want to believe you'll be able to sense if he is remorseful or pretending. This is where you'll make your choice of either forgiving him or not. If you chose forgiving him then you'll let him know you he'll have start over gaining your trust like when he was asking you out. That means you have become insecure around him. Be sure to make him apologize specifically for everything he has wrong you word for word for example 'I am sorry for falsifying the price of the land and collecting you money'

NOTE: TO GET PASS FORGIVENESS YOU MUST NEVER TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

If you chose to forgive, do it because of you alone and not for anybody.

I applaud him admitting and humbling himself to ask for your forgiveness. He is good man. Accept him back and create that beautiful future for your children. Always Remember you have hurt people too and they forgive you.
As for your father, assure him both of you are good.

My sister, when your head clear, make you remember say na just because of 200k (money wey people dey go blow for club), na him wan make your marriage crash o! The 200k you lost, is it really worth all these troubles and more to come?
My approach to life is that if things go wrong, the question should not be who is right or wrong. But the issue should be how do you find a solution to the challenge.
If you like go follow the advice of all these unmarried people on nairaland telling you to leave your marriage. It's your marriage not theirs and you will bear the consequences of any decision you take.
I suggest you both speak to an elderly couple you both respect! There is nothing that cannot be fixed.

You have an unforgiving spirit.
What he did is bad but isn't hat big of a deal. How can you hold grudge for this long?

What if he impregnated another woman you'll kill him

Kill that pride in you before it kills you.

My daughter, sorry you hear. Wipe your tears. I understand that feeling of betrayal and lack of remorse afterwards.

The good news is that he appears to be truly repentant and your two families are involved. He will think twice before betraying you again or deliberately misbehaving.

Give love another chance sweetheart. What you both have is so beautiful and rare. Protect it. You'll be happy, your children will also be huge beneficiaries.

May God heal you and your home. Hugs. wink

You don't need such a stupid, lazy, insensitive and selfish man in your life or your kids'. Move on and continue to provide for yourself and your kids. He abandoned you for months and was trying to manipulate you emotionally when you went to pack things, don't be deceived.

Don't let his family's plead to deceive you. That man can never change. That's his personality and once you go back and deliver that baby, you will be trapped!

You can do well without him! Marriage is not an achievement. There are many successful people in the world raised by single mothers. Don't let the society define your happiness!

She said she needs a father figure in her kids life, you can't just wave that aside if that's how she feels and want things to be.

I'm a lady in my mid- twenties, I got married aged 22, (always wanted to marry early) on the second year of our marriage we were blessed with a baby, parked to our house and things were rosy. I have always been a workaholic due to that I have never lack as a young lady in terms of finance.

I have always helped him in his house projects, might not be much 100k, 50k, 20k when need be. I never siphoned my money to myself, as a young lady I envisioned my pretty little family on my head, (3 children, handsome husband and pretty wife with a fine car living happily)

Now to the main problem,I think it all started when he told me he has seen a genuine plot of land that we should buy it together, I told him no, I want the land all by myself I have money to pay for it, (just want to have something tangible for myself alone) he said no problem.He sent me an account number of the seller I sent 600k to the seller.we did the necessary documents and everyone was happy.

After some weeks, I decided to dig around his phone then I discovered that the account I sent the 600k to, refunded 200k back to my husband, woke him up instantly I demanded for an explanation.he story no make sense. I was heartbroken, for months I was hurt...the two families got involved and settled the issue.money I no see...

Ever since this issue happened,the home has not been peaceful, fighting everyday. I find it so difficult to forgive him. I insult him, he insults me, he broke my phone, I break his door...I was demanded for an apology he says
"I'm his wife, no be today man dey collect him wife money, he say woman go build house for him husband no ear no go hear" those things hurt me more... everyday was fight, I parked out,I went to my sister's place,he didn't call, he didn't reach out.

3 weeks after I parked I discovered I was pregnant,and informed him immediately through text.i stayed at my sister's place for 2 months no word from him... I decide to rent my own place,I rented a place and went to his house to park my remaining stuff,I meet him home,as soon as he sees I came with a truck to park my things he knelt down and started begging me...I was like,na today I commot for your house why now? He say he think say I dey play, he no think say I serious like this,for good two months you didn't say anything why now...with enough dragging I parked my things to my new rented apartment... since the day I park till now this man has not allowed me rest,his family members has been calling me to come back home, his dad came from the village to plead on his behalf.


My dad is insisting I should not go back...I'm now 6 months pregnant ,I need a father in my children's life.im finding it difficult to forgive him,I'm struggling within myself to forgive and trust this man again.

How can I let go of the past and move back with him...I decided to pay him a visit on Friday,he was happy I came,he did everything possible to show me he has changed but that feeling of betrayal and hurt is there.i left there this morning with querrell,I know I started the querrell,but I can't just seem to forgive him.please I need your help and advice on this pressing issue of mine.

No insult please, I have cried enough.
how much is #200000 that you exchange you life time happiness with my sister, what ever a responsible Man does, is always come back to his family, am a family Man too, the money he duped you, he also spent on you too so why taking thing's too far for heavenly sake return back to him you shall have a happy home again.
Re: How Do I Forgive Him? by tdayoojo: 11:32am On Oct 25, 2022
Marriage comes with the good ,the bad and the ugly. You have just seen a bad side. You must have experienced the part before this bad situation. My advise will be: show your dad the reason you need to keep your home. Afterall, you father cannot play the role of husband in your life. Secondly, your disposition is well justified but you must give room for forgiveness for peace to reign and even for your mental health. This may be difficult without help. So l recommend for you a therapist who can help you to overcome your present emotional state. You also need to bring your hubby to join you in the therapy. Finally, don't make attempt to get him to refund the 200k. Let it go please but insist that he must higher the truck that will bring your belongings back home if indeed he wants you back in his life. Let him bear the cost of his misdemeanor. Don't forget to take your children into consideration in whatever decision you take eventually. Note also that your dad is angry about the whole senario but find means to persify him. Seek help to get healed first through a professional and other things will take shape. God bless you.

This is the most funniest reason I have read why someone packed out of her matrimonial home. What he did is totally wrong but forgivable. Just not to trust him with money again or for a long time, but moving out? Haba...he is not your bf oo. If you can move out just for this, I can't imagine what you will do if he cheats on you or commit grievous offense than this, because believe me..there are so many of it. He married you at 22, which means he played a big role in your success today, except you want to tell me your own family did that. There are things you should have learnt before going into marriage but did not get the chance due to your early marriage. Marriage is not a do or die, either you are in it or you are out of it. Choose one peacefully.

When we have seen men who spent the entire money given to them by their wives for developments. This one who is supposed to simply ask for the return of her 200k is busy complicating things for herself, her kids and the silly husband. Life is too short to be suffering oneself because of little things like this.

Haven't you seen people die in marriages? Is that God's plan for them?

You people are just taking marriage out of proportion. It is not an achievement. Yes, it is good to be married if you are married to the right person. Being married or single does not define who you are, it doesn't make you less or more. Marriage does not make you more important than a single person.
Re: How Do I Forgive Him? by stunning324: 11:46am On Oct 25, 2022
I guess the problem started when you decided to go solo in buying a land which both of you would have contributed. You didn’t consider his feeling before proposing such. Imagine he does that to you also, having things in his name only when you’rea family. It’ll hurt also. He acted dubiously though, and not should have taken your money without your consent. I don’t always subscribe to forgive without digging deep to why the person acted in such a way. Either you invite him to your new place or go to his place to discuss your hurts and his also, then you can decide on what next to do.

Marriage is not relationship o that you can brezz in and out as you wish undecided...
Marriage will test and stretch you farther than anything else will undecided..

On a more serious note...
It's clear and glaring that you don't consider yourself as a team? undecided...

Let's look at your write up undecided...

I have always helped him in his house projects,might not be much 100k,50k,20k when need be,I never siphoned my money to myself,as a young lady I envisioned my pretty little family on my head,(3 children, handsome husband and pretty wife with a fine car living happily)

Now to the main problem,I think it all started when he told me he has seen a genuine plot of land that "we" should buy it together,I told him no,I want the land all by myself I have money to pay for it,( just want to have something tangible for myself alone) he said no problem.He sent me an account number of the seller I sent 600k to the seller."we" did the necessary documents and everyone was happy.

So even when "two have become one" you still act as if you guys are not a team undecided...

The only time the word "we" appeared there, it was because it was suggested by your hubby undecided...

So while he sees you guys as a team, you see yourself as competitors undecided...

Until you change your mindset, it's best you don't go back undecided...

I'm not trying to excuse your hubby's actions, however, if you intend to go back with this mindset of unforgiveness, disunity and distrust, just be prepared for everyday quarrel undecided...

And that too will affect your kids undecided...
He sees them as a team and he indirectly stole from her?? Wow, colour me surprised

Haven't you seen people die in marriages? Is that God's plan for them?

You people are just taking marriage out of proportion. It is not an achievement. Yes, it is good to be married if you are married to the right person. Being married or single does not define who you are, it doesn't make you less or more. Marriage does not make you more important than a single person.



grin grin grin
I only asked what God's plan is for you and if it is different from your own plan for yourself.

Did those that died in marriage, plan to?

The point is, this is more of our problem and less of God's. You decide what you want and work towards it. Marriage is just like life itself. It comes with its ups and downs. You don't need God to teach you that. And if for whatever reason you cannot take the heat of marriage, you simply step out. Cheers!
