Michellekabod2:
exactly ,the advice I gave him was applicable for both husband and wife,it was from a neutral perspective that he should walk away or if she the woman is the victim she should walk away.

The authenticity of her side and his side is yet to be determined. Now we are aware that they are two sides we can't jump to say the woman side is the right side or the man side is the right side (like folks like bratislava,funmisticqueen,elder1,inspired7 are doing). Either of them are capable of diluting facts.
To some it seems that if one gender is crying foul over something, it must be a lie,he/she may be hiding something or there is more to it,and if another gender Crys foul over something,its automatically truth....that's prejudice!

For the Op wife,people acted on what was presented to them,if it turns out wrong and hubby lied,forgive the commenters.
For the Op himself,should it turn out you were right and your wife is lying forgive those who may say you were lying...

I personally think there is a victimhood playing between op and his wife,he is feeling cheated and she is feeling cheated,most times we don't look inward for our faults but rather look outward at others,presenting ourselves the angels and our partners demons...



@funmisticqueen ignore those shaming your looks and don't let it get to you,because the shaming is done by those not confident enough to post their pictures on their profiles... But that said I personally think there is a need for you to do some introspection and work on some aspects..lots of love
You are doing exactly the same thing. You mentioned me but forgot to mention yourself, Phoenix and Martin. Forementioned have twisted this thread to make it that the man said the truth even when his wife gave her "own side of the story". Prejudice. From you. Not me.

SMH. The man was lying. Accept it. It's suddenly a female narrative. The brainwashing has been completed in this one.
Continue the misogyny. Maybe when you're 50 you will change your mind and suddenly want to get married and have children in a sane relationship because, you know, sperm lives on forever.

they did insult me. Even tho I know they won't, the right thing to do is call out their bullshit behavior.
Most local, daft and illiterate men feel you must be extraordinarily beautiful before you can give them a dose of truth. Information cannot reach their brains unless they can sexually objectify who is delivering it.

Lol Dafuq kinda buzzword is MGTOWN red pill acolyte? When was this released?

Besides, I have already apologised for jumping the gun earlier so you can relax. We still don’t know which one of em is telling the truth so that’s that.
Before you quoted me, did I quote you?

And if the word acolyte is a bother, use dictionary. Buzzword indeed, when there's up to three words. The person it was meant for understands it. Not you.

I'm not surprised to know he was lying. Most men lie about women, then support themselves. It's the reason I don't support deadbeats coming back into the life of a child they abandoned to tell them "their own side". It's a thing male children do blindly. This is the other side of the story that they never wanted to hear.

Thank you for clarifying.

I knew those parts sounded unbelievable. The negativity attached to the statements made it strange. He said there was so much disrespect. Whatever that meant.

Truthwillout:
I am Strungup79's wife and I have watched the drama here unfold in silence. Here is a copy of a message I just sent my husband on WhatsApp. I hope it will put things in clearer light.

I'll try to keep this brief. I started this year on a sour note, crying bitterly. Because of you total strangers called me bitch and all sorts of unprintable names. Some even went as far as saying I was diabolical and ¹reversed your fortunes with juju, and you basked in it all, all because of the lies you told them. You have repeatedly told your siblings the same lies. I emasculate you. Really? I emaaculate you yet i led my colleagues, our neighbours and practically everyone I know to believe that you are the breadwinner and doing a marvellous job. I emasculate you, yet when the rent needs to be paid, I pay it into your account first just so no one will know. I earn good money but no one knows it because everything goes into running this family. I don't save a dime. I NEVER complained about you not working these past 4 or 5 years. You complained about me spending a lot of time at my mum's place. I do that so that I can avoid the endless streams of alterations with you, and for other reasons I'll spare everyone here.

Every single time you bring this up, I reassure you that all I want is the best for you. I encourage you, fast and pray for you, yet I'm a bad wife. You actually called our daughter and told her I am a bad wife. She cried her eyes out when she told me all the nasty things you told her. I have never in the 10 years we've been married said anything disparaging to her about you despite your many short comings. You put me through hell and I just take in stride.

You also told your fans I had nothing when you married me. I had a job and I wasn't doing badly. In fact I practically funded our wedding with the help of my family. I could go on forever. Or is it the fact that you used to leave the house for days on end without communication, leaving me to wonder if you met with some misfortune or something. How many times did i show up at your office haggard and scared early in the morning just to confirm you are alright? I actually wear my younger sister's hand me downs just to save enough to keep this family going.

Your siblings all believe I am a bad person thanks to the endless lies you've told them and I've borne it all. During your last visit, you complained about the fact that I always seemed unhappy and heckled and I explained to you the stress I am under. Our rent is due. Our daughter's fees of over a hundred thousand needs to be paid. Utility bills, feeding...these are some of the burdens I have to deal with. I explained how burdened I felt. I also explained that having to clean up after you constantly worsens my stress. While you were here, I battled insomnia for almost two weeks straight, without compassion or help. I could fill a page with all that is wrong with this marriage. It's never you. You are perfect and righteous and I am a wicked woman. We quarrel like every husband and wife and regardless of whether it's my fault or not, I apologise so that peace will reign. I have suffered humiliation at your hands but you go around damaging my character so people will pity you. Guess what? The truth cannot be hidden. It may take time, but it will come out. I take solace in that.

I will beat my chest and tell you that no woman on this earth will bear what I bore at your hands or care for you like I have. Since you are so unhappy, I think you should take out time and find yourself. I also need time to pray and to heal from this emotional trauma, so please let's give ourselves a year at least to decide what to do next. I wish you the best.
And he told me I was sounding like you.

Thank you for coming out to debunk his claims of you turning the children against him. Some unstable boys here used that as an opportunity to tell him to leave you, they've probably misinterpreted all your actions with him for him. It's sad that his mind is telling him these things. Most men who aren't providing begin to see little things that don't even make sense and add so much meaning to it.

Be strong, because men can tell lies and people believe them just because they are men.

Continue to do a good job. And try to heal from the emotional abuse. It's not have people treat you badly because of unsubstantiated claims that they have heard about you.

I just knew my instincts were right. You see all the men that cry foul? They're usually lying. They're pushing some male agenda. Nobody asked for the woman's side, they all began to tell him to leave.

I told him that his wife was not a bad person and that he had other issues with her that he was refusing to disclose. I told him that he was hallucinating everything which he denied. He even accused me of sounding like his wife. Lol


That MGTOW red pill acolyte that goes to any thread with men to condemn women had better retrace his steps because he and all male OPs are liars. Today we had a dose of the truth behind every emasculation.

CarlsJaz567:
I think you are a very young and inexperienced person If you read my comment well, I said my wife supported me in all ways, but when the time was getting elongated - over 2 years, she started showing signs of emotional strains. That doesn't mean she was downright disrespectful at the time. Women will surely nag when they want you to hear them out, and it seems you are stuck to your own ideas! It only signified to me that I had an urgent decision to take.

Am back to taking charge of my own home now and am not begging - so you are not making any points. I hope your marriage last long when you do eventually get married with this attitude of yours.

Thanks
They speak of dumping wives as if it's dumping rubbish. They don't understand that marriages take two to work and understanding. All they know is how to dump, walk out, travel away to teach her a lesson in suffering, how to belittle, to beat, to deprive of, to hate. They say they would rather pay a woman to have a child for them, not knowing it is still the same thing. Nymphs. They live for their ego.

Exactly my thought.
Let him open up.
Emotional outbursts don't solve problems.
It will only garner fake sympathies.
He may not know it now, but his wife is the solution to his problems. When married people have issues, instead of them to draw to their spouses they listen to advice to go away, travel away, ignore him, beat her, etc. But they don't realize that there's something special about their vows. Once the two of them agree on anything, they are unstoppable.

I believe they have more issues than her earning more than him.

RisenPhoenix:
They once did... until the new cultural farce emerged that a woman must help/support her husband in the home; some dodo interpreting that help to be financial rather than emotional and mental. That was when society started placing an expectation on women to become at least partial breadwinners; and made men give up part or all of their control over the household in exchange. Men opened the door for their own emasculation; no doubt about it.
For the first time I agree with you. This is the actual problem of modern relationships. Women are emotional people and should be used in such situations. Men pay for them. Unfortunately, men tried to make them financial ends to their goals. They willingly gave over that power of purchasing to women by telling them that they had to bring something to the table in the form of purchasing power. This made them lose their full control and now they have to share the control with women and can't seem to tolerate it. If men could give birth, too, they would hold the control that women have over households, and women would lose that position of control. It's an exchange of control that has taken place. Old gender roles were much better, it removed a conflict of control. Women had their places and men had theirs. There was no confusion. Older people (80s) don't have these problems.

You're wrong. It's not my mind telling me things. I'm not dumb cos that's what your statement suggests. Before the tables turned, we used to discuss issues, then she started trying to lord it over me using disrespectful language and coded insults. At this stage I was still bringing some finance. I complained and broached the issue of her changing attitude. Guess what - she told me exactly what you're saying, that I was imagining things because of my down turn. Then it became full blown disrespect. If it was stress of being the the bread winner why sideline me and go consulting her family over what concerns us. We used to discuss everything right down to her work. I'm not dumb or stupid. She just feels she has an upper hand and is trying to show it.

When I married my wife she had nothing. I gave all for her. I fought my parents to marry her. I never bossed her or bullied her. I think you misunderstand the whole situation. I'm not bothered by your vituperations. I just don't want to tow the part you are pushing for cos someone will get hurt. My intuition tells me it won't be me.
What, you want to hurt your wife? Your concern.
For the record, your wife isn't emasculating you. She can't change after 13 years of being a good wife, so stop listening to the counsel of men whose posts show they have hated women for years. It's just your mind telling you things because you suddenly feel inadequate. You think she's poisoning the children. You think she's doing secret things. What if she wanted to surprise you with the land some day? Why must you think she's doing it for a negative purpose? If she didn't Chase you from the house and tell you that you're useless, then she isn't a bad wife. She's undergoing the stress of being the breadwinner for the first time. Try to understand without feeling like she's running you over. Plus a bad spell in business doesn't mean you're under a curse. Curses don't work. My intuition tells me things, too.

This is a jab to men, probably well deserved but then again it'll be unfair to make a sweeping generalisation as not all men are same.
It's not a sweeping generalization. But most of the men on nairaland say women only contribute sex. That means that it's possible they only contribute money, and when there's no more money, they have no character. Resulting in "emasculation". The man may just be sensitive because he knows his source of power is gone. And he's been acting strangely towards the woman since he imagines her doing something to the children bringing about some of her actions. She can probably sense his mind towards her

I am almost completely sure you are not giving us the full picture. It would be really interesting to hear your wife's version of this story. As human beings, we tend to tell stories in a way that favors us and make us garner pity. If your wife is the breadwinner at the moment, she deserves your loyalty, respect and understanding. Taking care of the financial responsibilities of a home is not easy. You plan, you worry, you get afraid, you have sleepless nights...especially if your spouse does not pitch in.
Here's what happens. When a man loses his source of livelihood, every little move by a woman suddenly becomes emaaculating. The woman is already under a terrible strain and you are here to barmouth her to strangers.

I frankly do not believe you are doing enough. Factories abound, uber is there, the keke business is there, even uneducated teenagers from the north are hustling and making a good living riding bikes.

Yea, sometimes a man experiences setbacks, my dad did. The true measure of manhood lies in dusting yourself off the ground and trying again. These days sadly, there are too many lazy men who whine instead of actually being men. If you are here bad mouthing your wife, then I'm willing to bet, you do it everywhere. My cousin went through this. Everybody called her wicked. The husband's elder brother was like come and stay with me and I'll fix you up with something. They no tell the brother. Las Las he chases the man out of his home and told everyone to ignore the man because he is lazy. All he does is play video games and sleep.

Society is particularly unfair to women. A quick look through this site will convince any unbiased person of that. You already have men pitying you and condemning your wife which is exactly what you wanted. Oga poster, you came here seeking pity, looking for people to condemn your wife and soothe your ego and you already have faceless strangers doing that, but the truth is you are failing as a husband and a father. These people cheering you on and telling you your wife is wicked are in their ow homes hustling and taking care of their business.

I am a man like you and I will not lie to you. You are your own problem. Take these steps.

1. First of all, love and appreciate your wife. Thank her for all she does.

2. Pray hard and ask God to show you why you are experiencing hard luck. Folks here might not tell you the truth, but you may have a character flaw that is working against you. You may actually be lazy, most lazy people won't admit it. It may also be karma. You may have treated others, including your wife badly in the past hence the problems. Yes, it happens. Find out what the problem is and fix it.

3. Hustle, hustle, hustle! I don't believe in excuses. Real men don't. Meanwhile, what do you do? You can mail me your cv at dehindep@gmail.com.
You are right. We haven't heard her side of the story. And he may be reading so much meaning into her actions and calling it "emasculation". He must've been treating her differently pushing her to take the actions she's taken so far. He is hallucinating the part with the children. It's his mind that is playing tricks on him. His wife is not a bad woman. She's just stressed and he isn't helping her relax. He should cook her favorite meal since he's now at home, when they've had a good time after the meal, he should beg her to forgive him and then in a humble tone tell her that they need to work things out.

Just giving similar advice that we see everyday on nairaland

Loyalty is a thing most people struggle with, both men and women. Notwithstanding, your wife shouldn't treat you like this. Is there a way you can move out of the house for the time being, that is if you have enough to cater for yourself? I think this move will bring her back to her senses or at least you'll get your self respect back.
He's probably having this problem because money is there only thing he contributed to the marriage.

It's like when men say women only brought sex to the relationship.

When it's no more there, what next?

You should see how they're fighting for the deadbeat to come back into the life of the child after 16 years. Suddenly it's his right. But it was never his right in 16 years. That man is on a revenge mission. He wants to turn the girls heart with 16 year old lies. The work has been done
he's coming for the fruits. After all, they cannot deny him. It's his right to be a deadbeat. Society/Nigerians have endorsed him. If you object it means you're staying reconciliation. But if it were the mother you would'nt see all the reconciliatory talk. if I were such a man I would stay away forever from someone I've abandoned. Unless I have a plan.

The circumstances he held on to and disappeared for 16 years is the sane reason why he should get lost now. The circumstances have still not changed. So what does he want.
He wants the bride price and to claim future Grand children. He wants to reap where he didn't sow. He's looking for sympathy and someone who will care for him when he's old, so he's back to prey

I never supported men beating women. I'm only saying women should advoid doing things that will attract beating. Simple!
How do they attract beating and the men don't? Beating is simply a control mechanism. Shut up or I beat you. Don't complain or I beat you. Take my beating or I beat you more.
So when women cannot speak, cannot complain, what will happen? So men get freedom to do as they please while women are watching over their shoulders, scared to attract
