Now what about the situation in polyandrous homes?
Such situations don't exist because men remove themselves from them

As an elder, name one Nigerian man that has stayed peacefully with his wife's co-husband, lover in one room. Just one...Ndi elder wink
Which is exactly my point. Men move away from a relationship where their wives marry other men, why can't women do same? undecided

Maybe if the man prioritized his own children just like the woman, he wouldn't have time to seek attention, then the woman also will have time for him.
Don't you agree?

It is not only the woman's responsibility to care for the children. It's a lot to handle.

Also, why do most men seek the attention of side chicks instead of giving attention to their children and their wives - their family?
Are most men just attention seekers or they do it to spite their wives?
Most men are known to be jealous of their own children too.
Everybody can get adequate affection and attention. Smh

Some men just have the mind of polygamy even though having a good wife at home. I know countless numbers of men that their first wives are angel( behavior) but still want a second wife,to be honest....
If a poor man is mad to think of marriage, it stands to reason that a man can marry as many wives as he can comfortably care for. No?

Favfables1:
Seeing we're dealing with the issue of polygamy from the root, lemme ask a few questions ...

1. If the first wife was good enough, why would the man go out and marry another woman? I mean, would there be need to get something else, if the first was good enough?

2. If the first wife refuses to be part of a polygamous home, why doesn't she divorce the man?

3. Why would a woman marry a man who she knows already has another wife? And even if she was unaware of the other wife, why can't she move on when she discovers there's another woman in the picture?

4. Since the women have decided to be part of the polygamous home ((by staying)), why can't they live in peace with each other? Why do fight each other's kids and the likes?



Oya...
Let the awesomeness of fallacy ad hominem begin cheesy grin....
Exactly my point. If women were good people, polygamous marriages would not exist and if they did would be harmonious

1 & 2. If the husband is a serious fellow and ready to be a husband and leader of his home, then he would speak up about the anomaly. After speaking up, he will address the issue fairly, sensibly & efficiently (RCCG peeps go code the last sentence grin). Does the wife need help? Has she forgotten she is a wife before mother? Is it lack of prioritization? Is the father the absent one in the equation? Etc etc.

3. Not true. Many wives are the breadwinners and still taking shit in their marriages largely because they believe 'that's how it is'.
1 & 2: are you saying all it takes to solve marital problems is communication? Are you saying the myriad broken marriages in Nigeria didn't employ communication before opting for divorce?
The truth is any spouse can talk till they're blue in the face, if their partner doesn't shape up they either condone said partner's excesses or end things; and many men are tired of talking and have, in fact, come to belive that it is only natural that a woman prioritises her children over husband, hence baba seeking affection elsewhere.
And what do you mean by absenteeism? The woman had her roles as does her husband, the husband's roles do not traditionally include childcare. If wife considers that good grounds for neglecting her husband, she should take whatever she sees


3. What is the percentage of breadwinning wives in Nigerian marriages? undecided

1. I read the sentence again and I apologize as it was not my intention to claim that all black men frustrate their wives. A better way to convey my message is this: An average black/Nigerian/African man does not have the 'moral standing' to say 'what does women bring in marriage'? He doesn't. I have been opportuned to observe firsthand the marital beliefs/roles of different cultures in Nigeria and women do more in ALL of them.

Especially in cultures like Yoruba where stay at home moms are devalued.

It is only online you hear Nigerian men ask what women bring to the mystical table; only online.

Men offline admit that women do more however fall into different buckets of appreciating, not appreciating, feeling entitled etc.

When you know a husband who earns, does childcare, domestics, social engagement, in-law engagement, religious engagement, school run, medical care etc ALONE while married to fit wife, we will discuss.

Several women do the above while still earning & a man online opens his mouth to ask 'what is a woman doing'?
If the man is the major breadwunner in the home in Nigeria(the poverty capital of the world), he's doing more than the wife is undecided

Wat does men divorcing cheating women have to do with polygamy?
Simple. Divorce your husband if you don't want to share him with other women

The major problem in a polygamous home is the MAN who of his volition decides to complicate his life and mess with the feelings of women. Let's treat every issue from the root
But each woman has the choice of not dealing with man who wats more than one woman. I mean men divorce cheating women everyday, no?

Thank you!

A woman is lucky to have a man who understands what she goes through to raise a family. Your appreciation goes a long way.
Isn't a man also lucky to have a woman understand what he goes through in being the leader of the home? Hmm undecided

Hathor5:
I thought in a loving family both parents focus on their kids they consider a blessing. And while their marriage takes a back seat in the first years, they appreciate these years knowing how quickly kids grow and increasingly become independent which makes them have more time for each other very soon again to also take pride in how their kids thrive on the love and energy they both have invested in them.

I guess, you need to have them kids and a loving co-parent to know this.
You can care for the kids adequately without depriving your spouse if attention and affection and prioritizing the kids over them. Of course, women proritise the kids to the detriment of the husband, and while some husbands accept to play second fiddle others seek the need for affection and attention elsewhere

Like I said, mother and wife relationships are vastly different. But I'm sure you know this, you're married after all

BTW, statistically, the moment a woman has children, her husband is already abandoned while she focuses on her kids. The numerous married men in Nigeria will tell you this. The reason most of these women stay oin their marriages is for economic sustenace.

If someone's parents had a proper, healthy, loving marriage, he/she would know the valuable things both sexes bring to the table.

Secondly, the OP is western. It makes no sense that a black man who is the definition of frustration to his wife & family would try to even align.

I am sure that if Osinachi's death wasn't public, her husband would read the OP and nod on concurrence.
For the sake of the respect I've held for you (which doesn't really carry much weight asides the sentimental value I derive from it), I'm going to hold back on my response.

In one breath, you say redpillers value mother over wife, and in the same you say the black man is the epitome (perhaps catalyst) of dysfunctional marriages. You condemn redpillers generalisations while ironically dropping your own generalisations unabashedly : grin

Still love you though (super platonically of course) kiss

Momma worship seems to be a staple of redpill undecided
The relationship a man has with his mother is vastly different from that which he has with his wife. A wife is way more likely to abandon a man than his mother. And considering men value loyalty.....

And y’all better respect it. Because talking as if it’s JUST pregnancy tries to minimize the fact that it’s life she’s giving to the world.

If all she did was get pregnant and have kids, she’s already done more than you have or can do. regardless of how much money you make. If you doubt it, use your money to mold a human being inside of you.

End of!

If you read the OP, you would think all women do in marriages is have sex and get pregnant. undecided

Maybe that's what their mothers did.

Because I don't know how someone grew in/saw a functional and loving home and still say women/men do nothing/contribute in marriages.
Wrt to the bolded, not the only thing women bring, but perhaps, some of the most valuable things a woman brings to the marriage table.

Maybe, if your gender this, we could find a way forward grin
