In Nigerian today, its common among Married couples sleeping in separate bedrooms. It’s mainly a function of having enough room in the house/apartment, but I think it is a more normal/acceptable thing to do in higher social classes who don’t feel the need to demonstrate their love/commitment by sharing a bed every night.

Looking at issue in another direction, I don’t know if there are any couples who sleep in separate beds other than they were not in a good state of marriage. But, I do know some couples who sleep with their kids for years. I do know some couples who sleep all together with their kids in one bedroom, or the husband goes to living room simply because they only have one bedroom. As far I know, they also have s@x, not regularly, but mostly it is enough to keep them sane. Of course the intimacy, the s@x, and the friendahip get better when they sleep together, just to of them.

If you have the space, it makes a lot of sense not being disturbed by your bed partner who may snore, get up at a different time, prefer a different temperature etc., and having your own things in the room. Couples do choose to sleep apart, and this practice can be attributed to various factors.

Reason why couple sleep in separate rooms

Many wealthy individuals have large homes with multiple bedrooms, allowing them to have separate sleeping quarters for personal space and privacy.

Couples with demanding careers or differing schedules may find it more practical to sleep separately to accommodate their routines.

Some people simply prefer to sleep alone due to personal comfort or sleep habits, such as snoring or restlessness.
Cultural Factors: In some cultures or social circles, sleeping apart can be a common practice and may not carry any negative connotations.

For some couples, sleeping apart can help maintain a sense of independence and reduce conflicts, contributing positively to their relationship.

The reason is that wealthy people are more prone to marry for social status, rather than actual love and commitment.

This kind of marriage can go sour quickly, while the couple feels compelled to stay together for appearances. What usually happens is that they soon get sick of each other, and quietly have their affairs on the side.

Couples who truly love each other don’t like to sleep apart. They want to be next to each other regularly.

Do you have a password on your phone? I don’t know whether or not you have a password on your phone however I do know that most people do in fact tend to have a passcode on their phone. this doesn’t automatically mean they’re hiding anything or doing things behind your back. Most people tend to just have a password for their protection and privacy and in case if they were to ever lose their phone somewhere some random person wouldn’t be able to access it and steal valuable information from it such as credit card or bank card information. However this all depends on your situation.

It doesn’t mean anything. A person is entitled to their privacy. People believe that in relationships you should have to expose every aspect of your life.

If you need to know why that much instead of assuming and driving yourself crazy with anxiety and over thinking, just go ask. You already know it can go only one or two ways. Just be prepared for both.

Good communication and trust are the beginnings of a solid foundation, and working on those together will lead you to never having to ask another question why, cause you will already know.

Phone is a possible symptom of infidelity. It’s incredibly common these days for partners to carry out affairs via social media accounts, either emotionally or physically, and licking his phone is a clear step to keep things safe.

What you shouldn’t assume is that this means he is cheating. It’s a possible symptom, not a guaranteed one.

Men locking their phone is suspicious. If a married man has nothing to hide, he will simply place his phone on the table. If he needs to lock his phone, he should inform his wife of his password. This is how women know that there is something wrong. When men are drunk, They unlocked phone using their fingerprint. Then saw their entire chat conversation and photos.

Everyone has the right to some privacy, personal space, and boundaries, even when in a relationship.

Your partner may feel the need to safeguard their personal space, which includes their phone.

Something special may be planned for you and kept a secret. The surprise could range from a birthday, anniversary, wedding proposal, vacation, or any other surprise.

If their phone has caused problems in the past, they may be very cautious of their phone.

They may be fearing judgement or conflict if you see specific texts, even if they may not mean anything.
Your partner’s phone may contain sensitive information about their work—information they are not allowed to share.

This could explain why they are hesitant to let anyone else, even you, use their phone.

Your partner may be coping with internal difficulties, such as family problems; they may be in debt or have some embarrassing problems they are not yet ready to discuss with you.

Man might be hiding something if won’t let his wife sees his phone. He might change his password or tuck it away when you enter the room. He might also develop secretive habits with his phone, there is nothing wrong with it.

Some mother in law are too strict

In Nigerian society where 95% men still treat women as objects and abuse their power on them and women will live as opposed to the constant complaining and hostile home life they endure. If each home had an HR department the wife would be fired for creating a hostile home environment and also looking at men, because the system is too biased in favour of women. He can work his entire life to build a home for his wife and children only to have most of it taken away from him because his wife wants something better” and so initiates a divorce in which he loses his home, and often, access to his children.
Women do initiate a majority of divorce actions, but who initiates the action does not always reflect who is the actual instigator of the divorce. There is not just one answer to that question. Every individual is different and the reason for every divorce is different.

Reasons there are so many single mothers and the only option is to seek for divorce

The woman may have realized that her man does not love her the same way anymore.

The husband might be investing his energy in different things and has taken the relationship for granted. Hence, the woman may feel emotionally neglected and dejected. She may end up leaving him for good.

As a woman with self-respect, no one may like to live with someone who has cheated on them. The woman might have done everything to make her man happy, yet he found love in someone else.

Despite once being in love, the two might not feel any attraction anymore. The woman may have realized that the man he fell in love with has changed into a different person.

There is probably nothing left to move forward, and both need to part ways to lead a good life. In such cases, the woman may part ways amicably.

The woman may become codependent, or the man can become too dependent on his wife. In these cases, the woman may feel emotionally drained and develop anxiety and stress.

Some women can end their long-term relationships if the co-dependence becomes unbearable.

Most women will not tolerate unnecessary abuses to lose their emotional salinity and wellness. She may have decided to live life without the negative impacts. This can be the time when a woman leaves a man she loves.

When a woman cannot trust her man, it can affect everything in the relationship. The relationship can lose its spark, and there might be more fights.

While a woman may develop trust issues if her husband has a history of cheating, other causes are also significant contributors to the erosion of trust in a relationship.

If one of the partners starts to reject intimacy, the other can suffer badly. A woman may leave a relationship if she does not get the desired intimacy from her husband.

On the other hand, a woman may be forced to leave her beloved partner if he puts excessive pressure on her for more physical intimacy without giving her emotional intimacy.

But some men can fail to notice this desire and take the relationship for granted. Hence, he may neglect her desire.

In turn, the woman might feel alienated and seek separation to find emotional peace.

Sometimes, men may force their wives or partners to mold distinctly while in the relationship.

That extreme control may cause the woman to become emotionally distant and stressed. She may break off the relationship or marriage if the partner is too controlling.

Every Nigerian lady will always look for a man who is powerful and has a standard in the society and a man will always look for a woman who can provide a better upbringing giving emotional support and etiquettes to their children.

Unfortunately, they do. Even girls who say they do not care actually do but they probably don’t know it or to put it in simple terms are well intentioned. You see, the issue of caring how rich one is depends on a number of things. The reason for caring is usually what will create the difference between a good girl and a bad girl. No girl wants to get hooked with a broke man who can not afford the bare minimum. However, it would be nice for her to know that her man will be able to look after her well and also be able to give her a good life.

The reason behind her care will give you good insight into what kind of girl she is. If she wants you to be rich so that you can buy her a car, a house, take her to fancy restaurants and generally foot her lavish lifestyle, then maybe she has intentions that are not noble. If however, she wants you to be rich so that you do not have to go around breaking your back looking for money or so that you and her can be independent of asking parents for help and you can raise your children without suffering, then you are looking at the right person.

Let no one lie to you. Every girl cares how rich you are. The only difference is the reason behind the care. Oh and while still on the subject of caring, there is the old adage ‘Love does not pay the bills or put food on the table’. Think about that too.

I personally don’t find anything wrong with this approach until it becomes the only thing you look for in a partner.

It is problematic if you’re only looking at a man’s wallet and it is problematic if you’re only looking at a woman’s appearance.
Why some Ladies do not like to marry rich men

She may feel a deeper emotional or intellectual connection with you that she doesn’t have with richer guys. Relationships often thrive on shared values, interests, and compatibility.

Some people are drawn to authenticity and genuine character over material wealth. She might appreciate your personality, honesty, or kindness more than status or money.
She may prioritize qualities like loyalty, support, or humor over financial status. Her values might align more with what you offer as a partner.
She might be financially independent and not feel the need to seek a partner for financial security. This can lead her to choose someone who enriches her life in other ways.
Physical and emotional attraction can often transcend financial considerations. She might simply find you more attractive or intriguing than others.
Her past experiences and upbringing might influence her choices. She might be more comfortable with someone from a similar background or who understands her struggles.

You can predict a man as a woman when he plans to do after long time in marriage, the reasons I know men get other women is peace and happiness, but no woman is comfortable sharing her husband with another woman. Are you wondering what makes a man leave his wife and marry another woman? Do you feel your man is drifting away from you because of unknown reasons? When you feel your man has eyes for another woman, he could be having an affair.
Almost all men dream about having many wives, dreaming is one thing … doing it is another, even if they could afford it financially few could afford it emotionally and socially.

Signs to know if your man is planning to marry second wife

When your husband is in love with another woman, he will spend less time with you. Women can easily notice when a man is drifting, especially if he doesn’t fancy spending time with them.

If you are wondering why do men leave and come back and leave again, it might be because of a lack of intimacy. Physical intimacy keeps a marriage

Concerning leaving your wife for another woman, one of the common reasons is when the wife is too judgmental and demanding

A man might think that a Second wife is a supplement to his first, as he expects that all the short comings of the first wife will be covered while her qualities will endure. this is not true each person will come with his own short coming too.
Having a Second wife will highlight the component of jealousy in a man’s life in a more intense fashion.

Nigerian Men are more rational in their behaviour & will not go forward until having considered the consequences.

Women should not get irritated and mess their stability for thoughts / fantasies of their husband .

How you can resolve your differences with your husband from marrying second wife.

Have an honest and calm conversation with your husband about your feelings. Try to understand his perspective and motivations for wanting a second wife.

Clearly articulate how this situation affects you and your relationship. Focus on your feelings rather than making accusations, which can lead to defensiveness.

Consider couples therapy or counseling to help navigate this issue with a professional. A neutral party can facilitate better communication and understanding between you both.

Talk about what boundaries are important for you in your marriage. Discussing expectations and commitments can help clarify your relationship.

Reflect on your marriage and whether there are underlying issues that need to be addressed. Strengthening your relationship may help prevent the desire for a second wife.

Reach out to trusted friends or family for support. Discussing your feelings with others can provide perspective and emotional relief.

If applicable, familiarize yourself with the legal implications of polygamy in your jurisdiction. Understanding your rights can help you make informed decisions.

Ultimately, the goal should be to foster a healthy dialogue and address the underlying issues in your marriage.

Mother -in-laws are friendly but, in some cases, they are very difficult to understand. Some of them develop wackiness against their son’s wives without any reason. Are you finding it hard to adjust to your mother-in-law? The relationship between a daughter-in-law and a mother-in-law is a complicated one. They’re the two most important women in a man’s life. Mother-in-laws can be sweet or the opposite.

Way to deal with your mother -in-law

The man likes nothing more than to see you two hit it off. But if you have a controlling mother-in-law, you need to learn how to deal with her.

She judges your every move and never leaves an opportunity to criticise you. She frequently comments on your living style, dressing style, working style, thinks and insists that she is always right and that you should follow her advice without questioning her, asserts her power and pressures on you to perform or act in a certain way or her way, To justify her domineering and arrogant behaviour, she says that she acts in this way because she cares about her family, always stealing centre stage, so her presence in your home is constantly desired. While talking, she always disregards topics that aren’t about her and steers the conversation back to herself and always finds a way to be disrespectful to you by criticising you and your marriage.

Get divorced. Kidding. Toxic Mother in Laws can destroy a person and their marriage. There is no set of full proof solutions, but setting boundaries is key. Also openly and compassionately communicating with your husband about the problems that she is causing you, is critical. This needs to be done in a balanced way that he can receive it.

If she is too toxic to be around, don’t be around her. Don’t take her calls. The block feature on smart phones is wonderful. And if you don’t want to block her, pick a sound that will identify her (like a barking dog or a siren) and don’t answer it if you feel like the conversation is going to ruin your day. Don’t go to family events where she will be present. That sounds harsh, but she is effecting your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and you owe a duty to take care of yourself first and foremost before anything else. If she cares, she will change her ways and make amends. And if your husband cares about you, he will respect and honor your decisions. He married you, not his mother.

Tell her how you feel when she responds to you? Be honest. Be sincere. Be respectful and discuss the matter. There are many people that don’t realize how they come across. It may not be intentional……But your mother-in-law may have “gotten away with her attitude and nastiness for years so she won’t suddenly turn into Madam Kindness. But at least she’ll be aware of your feelings.

Mother-in-law can never become your mother. If you try to treat her as your Mother, you will be disappointed for sure.
Treat her as only Mother-in-law and always maintain a healthy but not very close relationship.
Make sure to reply all her questions with crisp, short, (not unwanted information) specific answers. The unwanted chats may lead to unnecessary misunderstanding sooner or later.
Always say NO to her questions if your answer is may be or may not be or subject to conditions.
Do watch her actions and not her words.

Do not voice your opinion in any decision she takes unless you are asked for as it will go unheard even if heard .

In case you want to buy gifts for her, ask your husband or her husband about her preferences. If none is much aware, ask her directly instead of you buying something that she doesn’t like.

If you happen to assist her cooking, do help her only with buying groceries, cleaning, cutting unless she asks for your help in cooking. Try to prepare only one dish for yourself so that if you don’t like other dishes, you can gulp yours.

When you are cooking for the entire family, never ask for preferences of each. Instead ask what all they hate or allergic and then prepare something that you are good at. It is impossible to please everyone with different preferred dishes even if you are an expert cook.

Do not depress yourself with the differences comparing you with your mother in law or your Mom’s family with theirs.
Instead look for common things and try to be positive. Mostly Mothers in law are good but they fear that a new addition (you) in their family will drive others from her to you.

Maintain your dignity. Do not abuse her and do not allow her to abuse you. Remember you have your own son and one day, you become mother-in-law. Handle the situation with maturity. Every problem has a solution when you take time to study it and find lasting solution.

A lot of young men feel stuck in a position they don’t want to be in, and don’t know how to fix it. Rather than be brave, show perseverance/patience/ingenuity, or put others’ needs ahead of their own, they opt to try to ease their own emotional/relational/financial suffering by doing what’s best for them, regardless (or ignorant) of the pain it causes others. Discovering that you’re pregnant should be a happy moment in your life, but when your boyfriend denies the pregnancy, it can turn into a whirlwind of emotions and uncertainty. Coping with denial during pregnancy is a journey that requires both support and resilience.

Nigerian Men’s struggle to accept the reality of the situation. Responding with patience and empathy can help you better understand what’s going on and respond appropriately.

Reasons Nigerian young guys deny pregnant ladies

He may genuinely believe he is not the biological father, especially if there are uncertainties about the timing of conception or the relationship with the child’s mother.

If the relationship with the child’s mother is strained or if there is a history of conflict, he may deny the child out of resentment or anger.

Cultural or social pressures might lead a man to deny a child, particularly in communities where having children outside of certain relationships is frowned upon.

The prospect of child support or financial responsibility can lead some men to deny paternity, especially if they are already struggling financially.

Some men may feel overwhelmed by the responsibilities of fatherhood and choose to distance themselves from the situation.

Psychological factors, such as immaturity or unresolved personal issues, can also play a role in a man’s decision to deny a child.

In some cases, the fear of legal repercussions or obligations may influence a man’s choice to deny paternity.

Men think they are bad parent and that kid would be better of without their presence in life.
Most men in Nigeria want to pursue higher goal like helping society or political goals or even personal endeavors which they think are a greater calling.

How resolve the pregnant issue if you find yourself in such situration.

Choose a comfortable and private setting that minimizes distractions, allowing both of you to focus on the discussion at hand.
Frame your feelings using “I” statements to express your emotions without placing blame. For instance, say “I feel scared and unsure about the future, instead of “You are not taking this seriously.” This approach encourages open dialogue and minimizes defensiveness.
Encourage your boyfriend to share his feelings and perspective. Active listening is vital during this conversation. Validate his emotions and explain your feelings as well.

Share your situation with close friends and family members who can provide emotional support and guidance. Sometimes, the insights of those who care about you can be invaluable.

Consider seeking the assistance of a therapist or counsellor experienced in relationship issues or family planning. Professional guidance can help facilitate productive discussions and navigate complex emotions.

Engaging with online forums and support groups can also provide a sense of community and connect you with individuals who have experienced similar situations. Sharing stories and advice with others can be reassuring. You have several options as you work through the situation. Remember, even if your boyfriend doesn’t want to acknowledge your pregnancy, you still have options.

Prioritize self-care to maintain emotional well-being. Engage in relaxation techniques and activities you enjoy to reduce stress and anxiety.
Establish clear boundaries (with your boyfriend or with others) to protect your emotional and physical well-being. Boundaries can help you maintain your sense of self during this challenging time.
Lean on your support network, whether it’s friends, family, or professionals. Don’t hesitate to reach out when you need assistance or a listening ear.

The ultimate goal is to make decisions that prioritize your well-being and the well-being of the baby. Maybe you’re not ready to be a single parent or even parent with your boyfriend. That’s perfectly acceptable, and there are options like adoption that can help.

It’s key to understand that adoption is a selfless and loving choice that deserves careful consideration. Start by understanding the adoption process in your area. Reach out to reputable adoption agencies or adoption counselors who can provide information and guidance.
Abortion is not the solution; you might damage your womb or lose your life in the process. Follow your heart and do what is right.

There is no particular best way or technique to propose a girl to be your girlfriend. No offence, but if you were mature enough yourself, you would have figured it out yourself. Understanding her preferences and personality is crucial. Does she love grand gestures or intimate moments?

Firstly, you have to make sure that what’s the right time to propose her. Proposing her at the wrong time may not be a good idea as she may directly say no. So, make sure of it first.

Make sure to know whether she has the same feelings for you or whether she likes you. Don’t just rush to propose her. Know what she feels or thinks of you.

Don’t ever prepare yourself to propose a girl. Just express your actual feelings which you feel for her. Don’t go for filmy dialogues. Be natural and be yourself and give her the confidence that you will be with her through out her life. Give assurance that you will take care of her and protect her.

Pick a time and place that holds special meaning for both of you.

Express your love and feelings sincerely.

Consider details like the ring, location, and any surprises.

Practice What You’ll stay, calm and confident.

Consider hiring a photographer or asking a friend to document the proposal.

Most importantly, be yourself and enjoy the moment.

Proposing a girl is not anything rocket science where you need to understand and proceed with a formula. Just confess your feelings and stand by it.

Relationship is not only about happy moments, but also a mixture of both ups and downs. Understand, talk, and then proceed. Breaking up is easy, but to stand forever is not everybody’s cup of tea. But it’s not difficult, you just need to speak from your heart with your mind in mind.
