Family › Update : Could My Wife Be Cheating Link : https://www.nairaland.com/3627194/could by brasilia(op): 5:15pm On Jul 01, 2017 |
Dear Nairalanders, I think I owe it as aduty to the moderator and all the 27,5890, people that viewed the thread and the over 258, people that took their time out to comment, I say thank you all. Of the 258 people that commented, 35 advised christian solution, 180 put the blame on me because I was weak-- yes these 180 were all right they were correct, 20 think it was bad upbringing, another 10 adviced medical solution, and about 60 adviced divorce, although, there were missed opinion from everybody. After reading all your advice, a nairalander requested an email from me, I responded, and he gave me some hint on how to bring my wife to her senses. The summary of the hint was ways I should use in standing my ground in the marriage, these ways can be different for every individual. I did all he advices, and within one week, she came to me one night and started with her usual threat, I stood my ground, when she saw that she was loosing, she then started, apologizing, she apologized on the issue of the chat. that was the first time she said sorry to me in all our years of marriage, after some time like two days, I accepted her apology and phew, life came back to normal. I mean normal as in normal, I was surprised and was like, so this woman knows exactly the duties of a wife, and the way a wife should behave. I showed her more love and did all I could do, I was about providing an update immediately but Something kept telling to wait, she might just be acting-- of course it did not take time before I realized she was just pretending. From day to day she started changing back to her old ways, I tried to speak with her bu no way, as today, she is fully back to the way she use to behave. I think she just does not want me anymore. Thank you all for your time.
LESSONS : For men the summary of the whole thing about marriage is in this parable :
'YOU CAN ACHIEVE A LOT WITH A GUN AND A KIND WORD THAN WITH A KIND WORD ALONE'.
Women respond and show more respect to men that are decisive, strong headed and have the tendency to flirt, than men who are docile easy going. Because they know the man can do anything at any time (But not all women though )
1.In my opinion, these ladies and men that act badly in marriages know exactly what they are doing, the spiritual aspect is just less than 10%. Being a christian does not translate to being a good wife.
2. Good girls does not equate to good wife in future. Not all women can become a wife, some cant just be a family woman. they a better off single.
3 Love is over hyped, love is not just enough to sustain a marriage, I think mutual respect, good conscience, are key ingredients
4.Any character a girl can not change before marriage may become worse after marriage, so marry a girl for who she is now, and not what she may be in future.
5, Marriage counseling is over hyped.Your marriage is your own, listen to advise and you be the judge. People that advices to marry any person will be the first to tell you that their should be no third party in marriage if you complain to them in future.
6 There is not much wisdom in forgiving a lover who cheated more than ONCE in a relationship, If you forgive the second time she will never respect you.
7. Women respond and show more respect to men that are decisive, strong headed and have the tendency to flirt, than men who are docile easy going.
Please these are my observations, I might be wrong, as no two marriages are same. But the borderline is that, man and woman must show respect, consideration and love to each other. NOT JUST LOVE ALONE. |

AngelicBeing: She is not telling you the whole truth, why cant she tell the guy to stop sending her such messages because it is doing much harm to her matrimony, abegi , except she is lying and enjoying the flirty messages, you and l dont know what they discuss with each other on phone when you are not there, marriage is sacred l think and should be held so, flirting with another man or woman once married breaks the sanctity of the institution, it seems your wife is the husband in your house while you are the wife, l may be wrong, but you have to do all you can to keep your home or else another guy in the name of family friend/ church member might be feasting on your wife   |

hedonistic: Oh boy I pity you small.
You're not in control, and once a husband loses control, then it is inevitable that the wife IS cheating or SHALL cheat at some point.
The day my woman opens her smelly mouth to form angry and retort that I should do whatever I like when I express my reservations about her conduct, then I would end the marriage. She kuku know say I be drastic man and my brain dey touch.
Men need to wake up. Too much softy softy puts you in a mess. Then again, if you began on that note with her from the beginning, then it is difficult to change the dynamic now.
People like us know better. You must use the Abacha or Idi Amin Iron hand - firm and uncompromising - on certain key issues when it comes to naija women, otherwise dem go ride you like fool. Of course you can be soft on many other issues, but for this kind loyalty/fidelity matter, there is no room for negotiation or 'understanding'. She either does things my way, or I conclude that she is cheating or will cheat, and I would treat her accordingly.

Maybe he aint satisfying her in bed, maybe he aint providing for d fam, maybe he doesnt have her time , maybe she was forced into d marriage, maybe she married him cos of money but still stuck on old heat( she neva really luvd him) , maybe the marriage lost its spark! Maybe she started taking counsel from randy single/married female friends

Biafrarep: This just confirmed my fears all along bro. Your wife has lost all respect for you and this makes it the more dangerous because she can even decide to cheat on you without minding the consequence. At this moment she sees you as a wussbag who she can trample on. She has lost attraction in you and is probably considering life without you. She maybe trying to push you to the wall so you can send her packing and she will be guilt free for not being the one that dumped you. You have to act fast(though its a bit late already). Dont give her the excuse she needs by beating her, rather be tactful, pretend like you dont care about her attitude, but once you have a strong evidence, then you confront not just her but your inlaws as well. It sucks to be you right now. It sucks to be man, I can not even wish my enemy to be going through what I am feeling now |

proffemi: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings."
I don't want to comment on the issue of your wife and her friend, but scanning through this thread, it is obvious (IMO) that you need to look inwards first. You sound weak-willed, and basically invite your woman to ride rough-shod over you. I'd be less concerned about confronting your wife's friend (childish idea, that...) and address the issue at the source: RESPECT. Love feeds on respect. You wife does not seem to respect you, and I'm going to blame you for that. You need to work on earning her respect. Any other thing you do (surveillance, confrontation...whatever) will either hasten the demise of your marriage, or push your BP up a few points. As you yourself observed, she's apparently past caring at this stage.
Good luck dude. I respect this view like majority of the view, can not help reading it over and over |

You think she doesnt give a damn about what anybody says right? Drop a well typed divorce agreement on her without prior warning, by 12am and beg her to sign it. Your statement will be invalidated
Bros, take hold of your home. You are the man and nothing can change that.
I prefer to use the "pistol on the table" approach. I have the gun, you know i have the gun, you can see the gun is on the table loaded and ready to fire, but i will never shoot you except you force me to.
Cheers brilliant ! you Nigerians are brilliant, I miss home, every suggestion has a grain of ingenuity. I am really humbled that you all find the time to read and respond to me.
@brasilia: I hope your wife his a Nigerian who has family lineage who do not encourage broken homes (who can talk some sense into her head) orelse... it might not werk! that is d only weakness in this plan. She does not have a sound family . background. She is not in contact with her father's family, its literally just her her mother and her step siblings who are all leaving respectfully family lives |

jomonic: Brother you will learn from experience. Nobody can really advice you because human circumstances are not always the same. The only advise I will give is this. Do not ever get violent even if you are pushed to do so. You might out of frustration be tempted to become violent depending on your personality. Take a walk instead and let her be. You will not regret it, trust me. i cant help but keep reading your comment you captured it all, |

majorbravo: CHEATERS, good idea, but then what happens afterwards, it wont stop her from cheating with some new guy in the future. OP needs to step up his game and then make her realize without being insecure, that he is comfortable with who he is, she should be the one ashamed to cheat. On the other hand, I think OP is much older than her, imagine training a lady through school, she probably feels like she was bought and doesn't have any chemistry with him at all.
That's why I aint gonna marry no village girl or raising no body from rags to riches that don't deserve me or cant see what I have done to earn their love, done it in the past (relationship not marriage) and it always ends like the OP's case. If you buy a piece of cloth no one wants, adorn it with diamond accessories and hang it out on your porch, do not expect thieves to not come around to try steal it. If you buy a worthless woman's love with your money, when you upgrade her, you are actually placing her up for auction and the highest bidder would always take her away. Love earned can never be broken. we are five years apart. Never lacked anything in the uni. |

jomonic: Please do not bother yourself to speak to that guy. It is not worth it. Besides doing so makes you look very weak and might fuel an affair if there was only a potential. Talk to your wife and let her know you are not comfortable with the closeness. A woman who still loves her husband will listen. If she really cares she will listen to you. Otherwise brother you are in for a deep wahala. she already she doesn't give a damn on whatever I feel |

majorbravo: Have you thought of the fact that Op may have married her to get a green card? In such a marriage who do you think is most likely to wear the pants? He may be living in her house. There is even a tendency she has threatened to throw him out for daring to speak back when she talks, or perhaps even send him back to the jungles of Africa if he wouldn't live by her own terms. In such case, even the Lion would become a mere cat. I literally paid her way through the university, I brought her to the states, ... I have read comment s about she financing the house and I just laugh. I am a petrochemical engineer |

Kagawa10: Just discuss the matter with her and remind her she's a married woman. All those flirting attitude doesn't suit her as a married woman and that she wouldn't like the same thing if she were in your shoe. Unknown to her, she's probably leading on the man who may have an ulterior motive in the first place. ha she doesn't want to talk, she said she doesn't care |
