Lmaoooooo @ your hubby. It may be. Teething is just a long confusing dramatic process but it also involves plenty drool and gum itching. It's more likely to start from 4 months but as with all things, some babies start earlier. It's most likely a phase, roll with it, until another one starts grin

She drools a lot and she's always trying to stuff her ten fingers in her mouth all at once, maybe it's teething, nawao no part of this is easy

Hmmm!!! It is well with you ma. Not easy though but JUST LET IT GO. May God help us all. For the counselling, just find a professional one that will help the two of you. H/She will take you through a step by step process that will enhance the healing and forgiveness. All the best. Also, you can watch some free marriage video counselling on youtube that can help pending the time you get the counselor

Thanks dear, I am trying jare, I ll search for d videos.

what counselling can do will be to help you explore your feelings so you understand why you "choose" not to let go. sometimes the reasons are deeper than what you think it is and having that additional understanding of one's self, helps not only the marriage but your general outlook.

Erosion of trust is one of the hardest things to recover, and there is a great deal of God's grace in the whole forgiveness and re-acceptance when a betrayal of such a nature has occurred.

Thanks ma'am for your response.

I gave him everything I ate. He didn't really eat much. Just 1 or 2 spoons. I didn't give honey and too much pepper sha. He liked foods he could hold and take bites from. Like bread, boiled carrot, banana, etcetera. I would give him a spoon of soup. Not much but enough to make him feel like he was eating with us.

I started him on baby cereal as well as other pureed baby food.
That's cool I will give it a try when DH is not around cheesy. Thank you

Chychy4us,

Don't meet any counselor that is

1. A pastor, Imam, priest, "Apostle", "Anointed", "Bishop" etc. Not unless you want to sleep with him, eventually. Or help him buy his new jeep.

2. A married man, especially by himself. Not unless you want to sleep with him, eventually.

Your options are: a professional counselor works with you and your husband. Or a female counselor. There are actually some people on Nairaland for this.

Debbydominic, you and your husband have challenges in your marriage and neither of you have been perfect. It is NOT your fault he decided to cheat, he messed up, all by himself. You were in the house with him in a tough situation and he decided to be selfish, wicked and thoughtless. No-one likes being tired and saying "No". He is NOT a baby. No man outside will call another man a baby, it is women falling over themselves making excuses for behaviors they must live with, that do so. There are people who love Nigeria not out of loyalty but because they have no other options. Same logic with "all men cheat, all men are babies" etc excuses.

Get the full details of all that happened. No, he doesn't get a cookie for telling you, not until you are sure the girl wasn't planning on making trouble and he decided to confess to ward off trouble. Then is he remorseful, what will he be willing to do to fix this? And yes, you are allowed a period of showing him pepper, it will keep you sane.

No ma. I don't know any professional counselor but am sure other mama here may have idea of one or two. See mama, he still has a lot of love and respect for you that's why he came out of his shell to tell you what he did in secret. A lot of men Can not kiss and tell. It's also not easy to combine motherhood and wifehood(if there is any English like that) together but we need God grace to do it. At least our mother did it successfully so WE CAN TOO. What he did is wrong but for the fact that he told you, you have to find it in your heart and let it go(Not easy though). Always knows that men are babies and they need too much attention. It is well with us
Thanks and Amen

AlphaHandMaiden:


now this statement can be interpreted in a few ways:

1. is it that the girl in question KNEW his wife refused him sex and then she started dressing differently in order to seduce the man? if she knew, how did she come about such information?

Or

2. has she always dressed that way, and then hubby started noticing ..... ALL of a sudden for whatever reason best known to him.

sorry to sound harsh,
but it seems to me that hubby may be trying to place the blame or cause of his short-comings on wifey. and that is utter BULL$h!T and classic Adam syndrome excuse.... "the woman made me do it".


i guess it is a good thing he told you himself rather than you finding out in any dramatic fashion, you will both need counselling and the trust will need to be re-built. there is no relationship that is not salvageable if both parties decide to make it work

HOWEVER, I will stress this point:

he needs to address the reasons for his straying..... and take full responsibility for his lack of control and not put the blame on you .

because it is emotional blackmail.... so no matter what mood you are in, well, ill, stressed, dying.... if he asks for sex you will then feel pressured to oblige him because he has planted the seed of fear in your head that any refusal of sex will mean he will start "being seduced" by anything that shows 3cm of flesh? Any man should have better self control than that! and this you need to trash out in your counselling sessions.



I totally agree with you. God bless you for this.

You will come out strong,
Your marriage will overcome this by God's grace
How old is the girl in question?
Why did she leave, of her own will or you were tired of her staying?
I strongly believe both of them went all the way
You need to find out if she was forced or she was willing
How was she behaving before she left
Your hubby is trying to get a soft landing, find out if the girl was threatening to tell you, thats why he opened up.
You need to know the depth of their affair before any reconciliatory moves
Brace your self, you might hear more shockers (the girl can come back and claim pregnancy, rape etc)
I am not saying these to scare you, I only want you to lose your naivety.
No man is a saint, dont allow yourself be blamed. Your denying him sex was not the reason he went fore the help.
Also snoop and investigate properly, he might have affairs outside.
Do not start any reconciliation yet till you have as much facts as you can.
You will forgive him, it will take time, but you will.
Do not force yourself, give it time, give yourself some space.
Please dont go to church for reconciliation, they will ask you to kneel down and apologize to him for allowing his sexual spirit to wander.

She is 18 years and gave different Flimsy reasons for leaving meanwhile i was very nice to her. It was a month plus after she left that he told me the real reason why she left. He said he told her to leave because they started getting farther than romance. He told me she came to him.

I said I won't comment on any marital issue again cos no marriage is perfect but this really left me speechless. Did she chained his legs, hands and mount on him? Flimsy excuses upandan, if he wants to apologize he should come out clean.

I'm sorry to say this but they've gone farther than romance.

May God guide you in any path you choose.

There are so many schools in these areas u mentioned, personally I don't like the idea of children traveling long distance especially in nursery /primary. In Ajah there is debiruss and school master. In majek there is texcel and Winfield.

@Debbydominic, it is well. First thing, try not to keep malice, it is very unhealthy to keep malice, then forgive him, if you don't, you won't have peace and you won't love.

What if he never confess it to you? Try and forgive and move on.

No marriage is perfect as someone rightly
It is all well.

Debbydominic I'm sorry I'm going to sound like a broken record, but your husband is a very selfish man.
I'm going to play the devil's advocate.....
What if he only confessed to unburden himself? Now he is probably sleeping and snoring away while you are beating yourself up about "pushing your husband into the arms of another woman", a small girl at that!
What if they actually went far but he is releasing the info to you bit by bit to guage your response?
What if the girl has told him she is pregnant and she is threatening to tell you?

You have to stop the pity party and snap out of blaming yourself. It was 100% his fault. An 18yr old girl came on to him, a housegirl for that matter o..not all Dem Instagram slay queens, and he couldn't slap some sense into her head. You were nursing his child for Pete's sake!!! It was NOT your fault!
I think you should look for a way to bring the girl over so you can do a pregnancy test and be sure she isn't pregnant. Then with that, you can both go see a marriage counselor to salvage the marriage.
It is well.

Sorry, i can tell you're heartbroken. First things first, having a young maid might have made cheating more tempting or convenient but dont beat yourself up for it, ur hubby would have cheated one way or the other since that is what he has decided in his heart. The way forward, is he remorseful, is he trying to win your love back? Then give him the chance to seek your forgiveness. Time will heal this wound if you let it. Stay in your marriage, forgive but don't forget, there's a lesson to learn here.

However, If he's not remorseful and tries to blame you for HIS actions, dont accept such. Men are not robots programmed to be unable to say no to sex, so stand your ground on that one, stay in Your marriage very well but this time with your head and not your heart. Thank God maid did not poison you n baby for husband take over, your husband put ur life and your baby's at risk, tell him that.

debbydominic:
Good day mums. My hubby confessed to me some days ago that my live in maid that left last month, they both had some things going on, that they never had sex but they romanced countless times in the midnight when I was asleep. He said it started when I refused him sex so the girl in question started seducing him with her dressing. I have a 6 months old baby who wakes up in the midnight a lot to breastfeed. I trusted my hubby so much that I can't believe such a thing would happen, am in so much shock and so angry.he also confessed that that is the main reason she left cos web our sex life improved he wasn't going to her again.i asked him why he didn't tell me immediately all these started since I thought we were close, and he said he didn't know how I would react. Right now am not just talking with him anymore and I don't respect him again cos I remember how he yelled at me a lot when she was around. It's still as if am dreaming. Please experienced mothers advise.I have not being myself since he told me. What is holding me back from reacting is because he confessed and I didn't catch them in the act. At this stage I don't trust any man again.
