Take kong for head for talking out too loud. Even though you are saying the obvious, many of us would not like it this blunt.
So, shut up and don't let other women hear you say this.
All the same, clap for yourself because I see you leaving your husband at old age! cry

MRCORK, why would I leave my husband if he was faithful?.

You are one of the wicked being on the surface of the earth, why can’t the woman leaves and allow the man marry one of the side chicks if she feel abandoned by the man ? But wait till the man is aging to punish him because of his properties.
As yourself how many of the sidechicks are willing to live /stay with a Man when he's in a dust?
And why are the sidechicks following the man in the first place? Is it not because of his properties? And which man can be faithful to a sidechick that left his wife because of her?

His wife must be mad, wicked and foolish for telling her daughter about it, she only wanted to bring hatred between father and daughter. Very wicked being!!!

Which hatred between them?....He deserves what the daughter served him because he is a demon to have even harbored the thought of killing his own child for ritual purposes.........such men are a danger around children. He does not have any business fathering a child.

How did you arrive at that silly conclusion when Op just said that they were together until old age set in? How and when did husbands abandon wives when they were living together until children become successful through the husbands efforts?
People betray whomever they want to betray no matter the period of time spent together.

And my answer wouldn't judge you if you have clean mind and stay faithful to your spouse till death.

When you can easily tell your sisters to stop using their kids to fight their husbands and to also let the kids know when the gifts and the money given to them are from their father. That is a good way to start

Sometimes being a dictator is might be healthy for the home, it puts the kids in order, except you want them to go wayward. I grew up with a very strict dad, though very caring and playful, but very strict. But i still appreciate him today, even after his death
See the formula your dad implied, strict, caring and playful. No matter how strict you may be kids understand why you change towards them, they know they have done wrong. My dad is like that and myself I am like that to my kids. But imagine you have a father that is strict, not caring, not playful, he drinks and womanize maybe sometimes hit your mom, you will never forget how uninvolved he was in your growing up.

Judge dey go my friend. Whether I "stay faithful" to my wife for God knows how many years we're going to be together or not, I won't be caught unaware. As if to be faithful in marriage is about men only, as if women are left out. Why must it be only men who should be accused of being unfaithful in marriages when we see what married women are doing outside their marriage?
Husband or wife who cheated on their partners some years back and it didn't lead to divorce at the time, how does that become the affairs of the kids many years later? I don't get it.

Why not leave first and forget the story that won't concern you afterwards? Lol. No, he must be used and later dumped at old age grin grin grin. Sometimes, one is forced to believe that true love between husband and wife is an illusion, it really doesn't exist. One is just using the other for the meantime, only to be dumped later

THIS HAS BEEN BOTH A COMMON CONCERN OF EVERY RESPONSIBLE MAN AS WELL AS A FAMILIAR TOPIC AMONG MEN THROUGH AGES, But unfortunately, it is a lost battle

Not long ago, I stumbled on a discussion in relation to how some women abandon their husbands at advanced ages and pitch their tents with their children under the guise of helping them to nurse their (children's) children. In some other cases, the men have been abandoned at old age by their wives because they felt it was 'pay back time' for unforgivable sins allegedly committed by the old man when he was younger. Such sins don't necessarily have anything to do with infidelity or taking a younger wife, but it's enough if the wife and the children all concluded he was too harsh with (or to) them when the marriage was younger or the children were growing up. They carefully elect to wait until the old man has retired and needs the company of his wife and the affection of the children most before they embark on a revenge mission!

In most, if not all, cases, the man must have worked day and night towards the physical, economic, and educational advancement of the family, most especially the children when they were growing up. Ironically, but for what the children now label as 'high-handedness', most, if not all, of them would have ended up as wayward children and unable to make anything worthwhile out of their lives. But they don't appreciate that!

The most painful part of it is that, the wife it was who used to obtain the children's submission to her 'dictations' by mentioning their Daddy's name each time they tended towards obstinacy! 'Your daddy is coming', 'your daddy will soon come', 'if you don't listen to me, I will report you to your daddy when he comes back', and so on. Expectedly, the children would not like to incur the wrath of their daddy, hence, they will 'maintain'! Where the children refused to listen to the mother and she was constrained to report them to the father, the father's reaction by way of punishment is what is now being used against the man as being too high-handed.

Another reason for the children's resentment towards their father is the mistaken impression that the father never contributed towards their education. While this can be true in some extreme cases where the father is irredeemably irresponsible, the truth is that in most other cases, because the father had to pursue money most of the time, he would give money for school fees and upkeep to the wife to go and settle whilst he goes 'hustling'. These facts are usually unknown to the children and the mother never told them it was their father who provided the money. Such children would later grow up and rebel against the father for his 'irresponsible' behaviours when they were growing up!

It will amount to over-generalisation to conclude that all women and children do this. Far from it! Recently, I was discussing with a former colleague in one of the banks where I previously worked. She told me that she was outside the country with Daddy. What for? One of their children just gave birth and both of them had travelled abroad to 'baby sit'! I think that's how it should be unless the old man elects not to travel!

Even in very extreme cases where the man had been beastly during the 'sinning' period, why should the woman wait until the husband's old age to 'pay him back'? Why not call it a day with the relationship when the man could still have been able to find someone with compatible behavioural patterns?

What Shall Men Do?

In the first place, a man must learn to be responsible and responsive in matrimonial homes! He must be actively involved in the children's affairs! Where some roles have been delegated to the mother, he should let the children be aware!

Second, no father must allow the woman to surreptitiously turn him into a masquerade in the estimation of the children. That you went out and you're returning home should be something that your children are looking forward to. If you continue to allow yourself to be portrayed as the family masquerade, in your old age you will definitely pay for it.

Furthermore, as a father, learn to correct your children in and with love. Let them know the reason a particular course of punishment was administered. Whatever level of punishment to be administered must be commensurate to the act of misdemeanour! Just like the Yorubas would say: 'Abéré ò gbudò sonù, ká lo gbé Ṣàngó síta'! Let the punishment fit the offence!

Finally, fathers must learn to provide for any 'incasity' at old age! In other words, learn not to eat with both hands. If you haven't been doing that before, start saving for the rainy day (old age) today. If your spouse and children decide to be supportive at old age, all well and good, but if it turns out to be otherwise, there will be no regrets. Times are changing fast too! The children also have their own lives to live. If anything comes from them to the parents at old age, fine, otherwise try and be prepared! Whatever you have as savings would eventually go to them upon your inevitable departure anyway. No parent knows the art of raising or bringing up children. Only God does!

This battle of mother and children in relation to men, in most cases, is a lost battle for men. You cannot win it. The most deceptive belief a man can have is to think that he knows everything that goes on under his roof. This is because there's usually a lot of 'Má jé kí Daddy ẹ ó mò tàbí gbó o' in all homes! In other words, 'don't let your daddy know or hear that o'! This usually exists between the mother and the children to the exclusion of the father! They understandably spend more time together than men do, no matter how hard the fathers try! I think it's unconscionable for any woman to 'conspire' with the children to dub her husband a devil after using him as a tool to train the children to achieve greatness! God bless our homes, Amen!
