Good afternoon Nl family
Please pardon my epistle

My husband lost his job two years ago and ever since he has been so reluctant on getting another.. not to brag but I can say I have been the one keeping the family going ever since the job incidence (not like I ever complained) .

What I noticed about him is he now drinks and smokes and he is always hissing (obviously he is not happy and I try to always console him just to elate his Spirit)

Fast forward to last two months.. I got back from work and I was very tired.. I had to go pick the kids from school , bathe them, feed them and to make matters worst I wasn't feeling too alright .. (when I got home he (my husband) wasn't at home)

When I was done with the kids and fixing the house I was so tired I thought to myself to take a lil nap that was how I slept off (and this was around 9pm) ..

He got back around 10pm obviously drunk and smelling like a skunk.. he went straight to the kitchen. That was how the whole problem started.. first was insult.. then my phone, smashed it on the ground later my clothes he started tearing them .. saying all those things he was destroying was why I was feeling untouchable that he knows I have male friends sleeping with me..

I tried securing my items so he doesn't destroy more things that was how he pounced on me..

The next day I got him arrested he spent two days there.. but now I feel so guilty... He doesn't talk to me anymore.. I have apologized times without number

I don't just know what to do...


Nb: even while he was there I was still taking food to him

Some men are wicked. He doesn't have to be destructive for any reason. He shouldn't beat you even if the marriage is heading to divorce.

Everyone in a marriage or whatever relationship is coping with the difficulty that comes with two or more people living together. So they shouldn't be harm or whoever does that is the beast.

In anger, keep a good distance after you have made your points of view and annoyance known over and over. And don't chase shadows.

I wish you forsake that your friend who advised you to lock him up. From your story your husband is not even a trouble maker. You failed to understand the fact that he's depressed.
... He destroyed her phone and he's not a trouble maker? What if he did worse? What if he stabbed her in the guise of being drunk?
Na until he kill her before una go know say the man dey irresponsible

You are a good woman. Encourage him to be a man. He was wrong too. But you are a good and rare woman don't arrest him ever again, if you tired of his excesses leave him. I know a husband who they av called the cops on more than 4 times. The 5th one the police said they see nothing wrong and directed her to women affairs and her parents still went ahead to call soldiers. She claims to always be beaten but from what we gathered, the guy is not that type and has always tried to run and avoid her. Neghbours labelled her as the abusive one and wondered y the guy has not even beaten her to Pulp despite her abominable insults. They are good women, no one is asking for a perfect woman but a woman with a heart at least, you sure have a heart

You arrested and lucked up your husband for 2 days? No one is dumb here ma. No right thinking woman just suddenly locks up her husband. Was there food in the kitchen for him when he came home? Did you cook for yourself and just the children?

There are other crises resolution and mediation channels available to resolve issues within spouses. Did you explore any of them?

You most probably had nurtured this thought of locking your husband up for a while. You also most probably have mocked him in your actions and your words.

Madam, you don buy market o! I assure you of this, your husband will never forgive you. The day that man gets a job and finds his feet you will be the one begging for divorce.

I am not making excuses for him. Your husband is going through serious depression. No man wants to not be able to provide for his family. The present economy doesn't help at all. You could have handled the situation better.

This forum is the worst place for advice.

Males here: she raised hands on you, beat her to stupor so she will never try that rubbish again, I dealt with her so much she couldn't walk, I won't ever take such rubbish from any woman who lays hands on me

Women here: I will never support what you did to him, he has a right to defend himself by beating you to stupor, why did you go and fight with him?

Today they are slurring words on a man trying to blackmail her for putting him in the right place.

ExudeLoveToAll:



Critical thinking skills is actually endangered currently.

Why didn't you dscern that I commented only based on the bolded statement above where she said she doesn't tolerate nonsense as an addendum to her earlier assertion.

Let me school you since you have decided to use your emotions to think rather than your brain.

What my response meant is that in a relationship between spouses no one is perfect, everyone exude one triat or the other which the other partner may find offensive in one way or the other , if one isn't able to exude tolerance it will be difficult to even live with non sexual partners of same sex talk more of sexual of opposite sex.

I really don't know where you fetched that interretation from but my advice for you is that before asserting yourself especially in a public forum bring your critical thinking skills to the fore rather than going to the gutters.

Have a great day
Mr school! No one should condole or tolorate violence in marriage or friendship. It is a very common sense.

Your husband don't have work at the moment and he is traumatized' it is not easy for a man who was once feeding the family and having some cash to spend to depend on a woman for survival''
Your husband may forgive u but i don't think he will forget the incident in a hurry' because it sound like an oppression to him''
You are in best position to arrange ur house''
Something might be right in ur hand but depend on the action u take, you will be blamed at the end'''

If he was my husband and he starts emotionally blackmailing me like that by refusing to leave those police cells... I was going to leave him there until the police kick him out, or until he decides to leave.

As long as I'd have apologized to him and explained the reason why I got him arrested, I'd have left him there with his childish tantrums.

Maybe it's because I don't tolerate nonsense.

Let it be a warning to him that next time you wouldn't be lenient on him.... You can apologize to him for getting him arrested, but let him know that you don't appreciate what he did to you and you're not going to stand for it if he continues with his behavior.

It's not your fault that he lost his job and can't find another one.

If all what you wrote was the actual truth, then I must tell you that you should not feel guilty for locking him up for 2days ( though it may be a bit harsh but anything to stay alive at the time was a necessity).

So you should be thankful to God that you are alive. That's the most important thing now because in most cases, the way you narrated how erratic he was that night, you could have lost your life then he will start blaming the devil.

Don't allow anyone bully you to start thinking otherwise. Divorce or no divorce, marriage or no marriage, staying alive should be the priority.

The moment you locked up your “Husband” you already signed your divorce form.. I’m surprised how you’re comfortable sleeping in the same house with him… do you know things that went through his head all night in the cell?? Or you think Nigeria police station is a place where you can sleep and wake up like hotel…. Your husband is a useless man for raising his hands on you and you’ve lost a useless man so carry your kids and leave the house!

If u did nothing, next time, it may be worse than this.
If he's depressed really, he will look for a job and not go about smashing phones and beating up a woman... Real men who are depressed find solutions to their problems... They don't go about beating their wives and smashing phones....
In advanced countries, he will go to jail and served a restraining order but welcome to Africa where women are expected to eat the shit off men and do nothing about it

Abusive woman, like constant insult and daily torment towards the man, is that domestic voil3nce too? If the man reterlates with a slap, that's the real domestic violence? Am just asking. Men are the real victims, most times. Please men what ever u do, never heat a woman. I know it can be hard with a very abusive woman. It's a trap. The world is the reason for the problems we face.
