All I read is you equate love with sex and your wife denying you sex means she has no love for you. And you somehow think the blame should all be on her as far as all the problems you perceive in your marriage, no be so? **yawn***

I bet, you're still a kid.

Octopusssy:

Same way marriage is demonized these days. Your marriage is peaceful, others can also have it good as well. What we should be telling them is what makes it work, not how to remain single.

Actually, I do that when the occasion calls for it... But, when it is clearly not, I counsel against.


Anyone who is better off single should stay single, while those clearly suited for the marriage journey should by all means get on board! None is better than the other!

■ Sometimes I wonder if there are robots on nairaland. But even robots do have sense. Did you read that it takes him two weeks to see his wife again? Did you read that she hasn't called to check whether her husband arrived safe? Did you read that she makes no effort to make the marriage work?

1. When two people live together and one is angry with the other, there is something wrong that needs resolving. OP glossed over the truth in his main post in order to spin a tale about how his wife is the evil one. Read his follow-up posts and check his history to see that there is something under the covers here.

You're wrong sir. My wife was very much into me before our wedding. She literally made me marry her, because at some point I began to develop cold feet. She did everything to please me, showed me love and care, and pretended to be a good girl. I would not force, cajole or entice a woman into marrying me. This is why I am asking myself if I should continue in this marriage if truly she doesn't care about me anymore. I strongly believe marriage should be between two people who are genuinely interested in being together and if it is obvious she is tired of us being together, I would be the first to excuse myself from the marriage. I just don't want to make a hasty decision, so I will still wait and be sure I am not overthinking things.

That she did what she needed to do...in order to get u to commit, still doesn't mean she is into U....women can pretend to get what they want...even if they don't give 2 about U
.......u have to.make it obvious to her in words and actions that ur continued imminent to her is a function of the happiness u derive from her...u have to be a bit tough and mean if u need to....that is what some of them understand

This works like magic...Listen to this advice and thank us later..

Aww......you genuinely sound like a good man. It's sad you are not getting the love and attention you want or deserve.

Actions speak louder than words! Perhaps you need to change the narrative for her to get better results in your marriage.

Notice I didn't say talk to her or verbally communicate your concerns. Show her what you can do by your actions, show her that two can play this game she's playing. Don't buy into the narrative that two wrongs don't make a right.

From personal experience two wrongs do make a right - it is called giving people a dose of their own medicine, which usually pains them and they know not to mess with you again or they adjust their conduct. But it's your call.

Marriage don crash already naa ...this one be like marriage?

How can a so wife subject a nigga to emotional pains with her attitude and u call it marriage

Where are you seeing the frustrations ?
So don't ever use the clause 'even rich pple ... are not married' like d society thinks marriage depends only on money

That was just an instance, not a stereotype nor generalization!

You chose to stretch that instance to suit your thought process!

What's my business with what the society thinks or doesn't think?!! I never said or even implied that money is the sole foundation of marriage!

Back to my story of what happened weekend/Monday. My wife never bothered to call me to check if I arrived safely since I left the house yesterday. I even called her once (primarily to check on my daughter), but she didn't pick up and she didn't call back, and up till now, we have not spoken.

She obviously does not care whether I arrived safely in my station or not. In this country of insecurities, a family member of yours will travel and you do not care whether he/she arrived safely, that is the height for me....

I am a family-oriented person, I have always dreamt of having a peaceful, loving, and Godly home but unfortunately, the reverse is the case for my wife. I began to understand why family background is very important in a person's life, after getting married. My wife is from a family where they place little or no value on marriage. Her mother had children with 2 men, and my wife is obviously working very hard to follow that same path. She shows little or no enthusiasm in making our marriage work. I am always the one to initiate moves to resolve issues when we quarrel...

/

The reason is because you are not her 1st, 2nd nor 3rd choice. The persons she loves were not ready for marriage so she decided to pick you from her supplementary list. Not every damaged good is salvageable.

Good luck.

Why pornography and masturbation became serious problem in the marriage.
Even most men that reply your posts also do it.

JeffreyJunior:
Just 2years into your marriage, you guys are already having all these issues.

Why the heck did you marry who wasn't into you or will you swear you didn't see the warning signs?

Oga when the kitchen becomes too hot, a wise person knows the best choice is to leave.

Leave the marriage or get a sidechick mek everybody rest.

I always ask this question @bolded.....I haven't gotten a better ansa from any couple with this issue...

I don't believe a lady behaving like this never showed the sign during courtship

CuriousMind2022:
It's a known fact that most Nigerian girls marry who they consider ready for marriage and not necessarily who they love. I am exactly in that dilemma and the question I am asking myself is whether I should continue in this loveless marriage or slowly drift and walk away.

My marriage is barely 2 years and a few months, but it has been a rough journey for me. Things I never envisaged I would experience in my marriage, I have suffered, from utmost disrespect to verbal abuse.

I came to the conclusion that she doesn't love or care about me based on what happened yesterday. I was recently transferred from my base to a new location and because of that, I would only be able to visit weekends or twice a month. Prior to that, we barely had sex once a week.

We had already had sex the normal once we usually had it (Saturday morning), but I wanted more because I will only be coming back after two weeks. I initiated a move on Sunday morning, she declined because she was thinking of preparing food for our baby before we leave for church. We went to church and came back, and as usual, my wife was in her undies (just panties and bra) in the sitting room (This was what she wore throughout that Sunday).

I watched her walk around the house in that and that even turned me on the more. I am a practicing Christian, and I try not to look after other women lustfully, but common this is my wife, even God sanctions that. After being turned on throughout the day, I went to my wife in the night, (note she slept in the sitting room with our baby leaving me alone in the room) to enjoy my conjugal rights with her, but she gave me excuses that she is upset and not in the mood.

I left and went back, seriously konjified, I managed to sleep. The next morning, I woke up with my urges and went to the sitting room to have my morning devotion, but I could barely concentrate because I was still very Hot. I explained to her that so really wants me to go to my new station like this knowing fully well I will not be coming back until 2 weeks time. This woman did not care!

I took my bath, prepared myself, and set out for my office. I was not happy with her but I kept my cool and left for work. She had demanded that I dropped some money for her before leaving and despite the fact that I was not happy with her, I dropped the money in a conspicuous place where I know she will see it before leaving. This was my own way of saying I am not happy with what you did, but I still cared.

I try to do things I usually do for my wife even when I am angry with her. This is my own way of saying I may be angry with you, but I still cared about you and I am open to a resolution. On the other hand, my wife doesn't care what happens to me when she is upset. She immediately stops cooking for me ad any other thing she does for me when she is upset. It is obvious to me now that to my wife I don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. She is only caring and concerned, when she is not angry (when we are good and we don't have any issues). I believe that when you love somebody, you treat them right and show genuine love and care for them even when you're upset with them. This is what I have constantly shown to my wife in our 2+ years of marriage.

I am always the one to initiate moves to resolve issues when we quarrel, whether I am right or wrong, I do not care, my focus is just on making my marriage work and my home peaceful.

This last episode shook me very hard, and I have been asking myself whether I want to continue in this loveless marriage or opt out. Working and living in a different city will even make it easier for me.

I needed to let my thoughts out and thanks to Nairaland, I have done so.

I feel your pains.

I had similar issue with my 4 years girlfriend, she was my first, and I was very nice and cool to her.
But I learnt that Humans often times abuse privilege, even if they don't want to, they end up abusing it.

When people know that they have you to their self, regardless of way they treat you, you become their hostage, and they will be bound to abuse your kindness

Here now, two things are involved.

1) it's either You keep enduring what she's doing to you, and she keeps Increasing it as days go by untill she starts seeing another man.
Or
2) you take necessary actions and put it to a stop before it's too late.

My advice is that you start being very mean to her anytime she starts her own exuberance, surprise her with your actions, make her scared.
Make her feel like you can afford to end the marriage, her senses will start coming back.

For you to remould a Gold, you will have to heat it to it's boiling point. The heating doesn't mean you want to destroy it, it's just to reshape it.

A stich in time, saves 9.

OP, take out time, sit her down and hold a sincere conversation with her. Open up on all your expectations that are not being met. Also, tell her to open up on her own expectations you seem not to be meeting. When issues come to the open, then solutions can come.

On the other hand, if you are more mature and exposed than her which I sense, you may need to be her teacher, coach, father, and husband that's if she is ready to learn.

Don't rule out her background, you see, I do tell people that marriage is a spiritual institution and not man-made. God instituted it. If there are cases of faulty foundational issues which you cannot rule out, TAKE THE MATTER TO GOD...TO TOUCH HER HEART.

MARRIAGE is a lifetime walk and fellowship. Have you forgotten the vows so quick. Talk it out with her.

She is already making the mistakes most women made by trying to replace you with the child... forgetting that the child will leave to make his/her own family then the circle comes back to just the two of you again.

More importantly, take it all to the Lord in prayers. God bless your home.

I approve this message. All is fair in love and war. I gained control of my marriage by altering my entire personality. If you are too nice and caring to a woman or too respectful to your inlaws.. you are asking them to walk all over you and they will and loose respect for you.

I've never verbally confronted my inlaws but with my actions, I taught them not to mess with me and not take my gentle and respectful nature for timidity.

My wife is now 100% compliant and starting to learn and benefit more from my leadership. But I had to reject some things first.

Those are relationships. In marriage, it can be very different. To be sure, constant retaliations like that is a leading cause of marriage breakdowns... OP get her(&u) counselling fast!!!

I'll advise you to be wary of comments from anyone who isn't married, because the taste of the pudding is in the eating. Don't also allow your emotion decides your options.
By God's grace, I have been married for over a decade and I think I should know what to say regarding marriage.
I empathize with you but walking away from your marriage is a no no; except there's violence or physical abuse.
The first two or three years in marriage are always characterised with issues because two of you are learning the ropes. I know what it feels to be denied sex, but a married woman that weaponise sex lack understanding.
Next time, don't leave for your station without addressing issues. Talk with her about how you perceive her commitment towards the union and insist you want a change. Let the Holy Spirit guide you on how to tackle issues. Also read books on marriages. Talk with her and don't talk down. Let her know it takes two to make it work. I have a lot to say but let wisdom guide you.

It's a known fact that most Nigerian girls marry who they consider ready for marriage and not necessarily who they love. I am exactly in that dilemma and the question I am asking myself is whether I should continue in this loveless marriage or slowly drift and walk away.

My marriage is barely 2 years and a few months, but it has been a rough journey for me. Things I never envisaged I would experience in my marriage, I have suffered, from utmost disrespect to verbal abuse.

I came to the conclusion that she doesn't love or care about me based on what happened yesterday. I was recently transferred from my base to a new location and because of that, I would only be able to visit weekends or twice a month. Prior to that, we barely had sex once a week.

We had already had sex the normal once we usually had it (Saturday morning), but I wanted more because I will only be coming back after two weeks. I initiated a move on Sunday morning, she declined because she was thinking of preparing food for our baby before we leave for church. We went to church and came back, and as usual, my wife was in her undies (just panties and bra) in the sitting room (This was what she wore throughout that Sunday).

I watched her walk around the house in that and that even turned me on the more. I am a practicing Christian, and I try not to look after other women lustfully, but common this is my wife, even God sanctions that. After being turned on throughout the day, I went to my wife in the night, (note she slept in the sitting room with our baby leaving me alone in the room) to enjoy my conjugal rights with her, but she gave me excuses that she is upset and not in the mood.

I left and went back, seriously konjified, I managed to sleep. The next morning, I woke up with my urges and went to the sitting room to have my morning devotion, but I could barely concentrate because I was still very Hot. I explained to her that so really wants me to go to my new station like this knowing fully well I will not be coming back until 2 weeks time. This woman did not care!

I took my bath, prepared myself, and set out for my office. I was not happy with her but I kept my cool and left for work. She had demanded that I dropped some money for her before leaving and despite the fact that I was not happy with her, I dropped the money in a conspicuous place where I know she will see it before leaving. This was my own way of saying I am not happy with what you did, but I still cared.

I try to do things I usually do for my wife even when I am angry with her. This is my own way of saying I may be angry with you, but I still cared about you and I am open to a resolution. On the other hand, my wife doesn't care what happens to me when she is upset. She immediately stops cooking for me ad any other thing she does for me when she is upset. It is obvious to me now that to my wife I don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. She is only caring and concerned, when she is not angry (when we are good and we don't have any issues). I believe that when you love somebody, you treat them right and show genuine love and care for them even when you're upset with them. This is what I have constantly shown to my wife in our 2+ years of marriage.

Back to my story of what happened weekend/Monday. My wife never bothered to call me to check if I arrived safely since I left the house yesterday. I even called her once (primarily to check on my daughter), but she didn't pick up and she didn't call back, and up till now, we have not spoken.

She obviously does not care whether I arrived safely in my station or not. In this country of insecurities, a family member of yours will travel and you do not care whether he/she arrived safely, that is the height for me, and in the actual sense, I should be the one upset here because she left me high and dry, despite knowing fully well I am very Hot.

I am a family-oriented person, I have always dreamt of having a peaceful, loving, and Godly home but unfortunately, the reverse is the case for my wife. I began to understand why family background is very important in a person's life, after getting married. My wife is from a family where they place little or no value on marriage. Her mother had children with 2 men, and my wife is obviously working very hard to follow that same path. She shows little or no enthusiasm in making our marriage work. I am always the one to initiate moves to resolve issues when we quarrel, whether I am right or wrong, I do not care, my focus is just on making my marriage work and my home peaceful.

This last episode shook me very hard, and I have been asking myself whether I want to continue in this loveless marriage or opt out. Working and living in a different city will even make it easier for me.

I needed to let my thoughts out and thanks to Nairaland, I have done so.

You are an articulate writer, nice one 👍🏽

Competition breeds quality in every sphere of life, give your wife a very tough and tense competition, you'd see how her brain would sharply reset.

It is well...I just do not understand why people do not take sexual compatibility seriously before deciding to get married. Your madam may just not have as much libido as you, hence the scarcity of conjugal dance.

But not caring about your safety is on another level fa. This is how people leave windows opened for strangers to mistakenly fall into their abodes. I just pity una....you've just moved away from home and she's being cold from a distance. Hello, 3rd party!

Do whatever eases your pain....this life too dey short to live in a tight corner. We wake everyday to pursue mostly economic gains with no time for emotional and mental gains. To live long and healthy, you need to be deliberate about your pursuit of happiness fa... do not allow others to undermine this pursuit. Good luck.

Nice advice
