That person is a hypocrite and too feminine centric with his/her views.
Here below is this same person advising the wives to run/disassociate/ cut off from in-laws that gives them problems.
Oi! I'm feminist too! But feminism don't wash in this instance. Unless we want to be arguing the ops wife should marry both her ex and her current, which I can find an argument for if I try really really hard to be illogical and irrational and non-objective indeed.

How many people did you know growing up who were not verbal at age 15 or 20, Now compared to now. Something definitely changed in the last 30yrs that has spiked the increase
And so therefore, Tylenol?

After all the faux performative cry about Christian genocide in Nigeria(which is true) by RepubliQans they still couldn't apply refugee status to Nigerians cry I remember seeing on Nigerian MAGA on Twitter begging for asylum. Lmao. grin Maybe with time it will be clear to dumb Nigerian dumbos what RepubliQans stand for.
True? Despite more Muslims genocided in Northern Nigeria if just due to the fact there's more Muslims in Northern Nigeria, and those killing don't check religion?

Yeah, I can see why US does not give refugee status to Nigerians, because facts will get in the way of the myth if they do.

You see how all over the place your arguments are? Earlier you said it's none of his business what the in-laws do since he's not married to th but to Their daughter and according to you the Op should face his marriage and leave the in-laws to do whatever they like as it's Their right to associate with whomever they choose. But here now you're against the Op cutting off the in-laws and focusing on his marriage as he's not married to the in-laws after all. You want him to maintain contacts with the shameless in-laws who disrespect him by robbing their greed on his face, but you don't want him to react to the disrespect from the in-laws.
Funny that was. I laughed. grin grin

1. No

2. Those aren't remotely connected and so shouldn't be compared. undecided

The only reason OP would wish to claim lack of trust in his wife from this is if he projected the actions of his in-laws on his wife. Blaming her for the actions of his parents would only reveal him to be a petty individual and nothing else. undecided
I'll accept this is your view. And like all our views, it's one.

I appreciate the below better.

GeneralOuki:
the ex is grooming the wife and her shameless parents by sending them money. The ex and the wife still holds very deep communication and whenever that ex lands in Nigeria that communication is going to go beyond quite Deep . How magnanimous is this ex that he still sends money to the parents of an ex girlfriend? I'm sure he also sends money to his own relatives and wife's relatives too right?

Op should come to the realisation that he married into a shameless family and begin to remove any emotional attachment he has on that marriage and just focus on fulfilling his duties as a husband/father as the case might be. He should rather transfer his emotions to somewhere else if he wants to live a long and enjoyable life.

Christianity EtcRe: Are All Humans The Image Of God by budaatum: 1:27pm On Oct 31, 2025
And I guess you see what you want to see, and when you don't see what you want, you create what you want to see, like your Adam in Genesis 1, though the Image was not named.

oridavid:
No, it's not obvious. You're seeing that because that's what you want the bible to say. You want to feel like you're better than some people. You want to feel like you've achieved what they can't and that's why you create this distinction in the Bible so you can say you're this while others are that.

But in actual sense these difference don't exist in the Bible. Yes, they're different Adam as the Bible explicitly mentions (1 Corinthians 15:45) but the task given to them was the same. The reward is simply different because one performed the task while the other refused the task. Just as Jesus explained with a parable (Mathew 21:28-31)

If the first Adam had performed the task, there wouldn't have been any need for the second Adam to be created. Just as if the first son had performed the task in the parable mentioned above, there wouldn't have been any need to send the second son.

I think your confusion comes because you see one Adam in Genesis 1 and the other in Genesis 2, so you assumed that the Adam created in Genesis 1 was the first one and further assumed that God had rested before he created the Adam in Genesis 2.

Whereas, the first Adam was the one we see in Genesis 2 and God didn't rest until he created the second Adam which we see in Genesis 1. God would simply have finished his creation in the Adam created from mud if he had performed the task, and we wouldn't have seen another Adam. His refusal gave rise to the creation of another Adam who would perform the task and received the reward reserved for performance. If we too perform the task, we would receive the same reward.

If you go around talking about tree of knowledge of good and evil, talking like it gives some kind of awareness safe sensual, people will see that you understand very little. Because the Second Adam who received the reward did not eat from that tree. He didn't have the sensual awareness that corrupts all.

I hope this helps you, and I'm sorry if I may have spoken harshly, this was why I didn't to engage you initially. I didn't want to offend you but I figured I wasn't helping the discussion if I just kept messing around with you. Thank you for your engagement. God bless you.
You can not offend me. I know your supposed harshness is to cover your eyes so you don't see.

Anyway, I'm done here. Peace.

3. You claimed it negatively impacted his home, when all OP said was that he did not feel good about it. How does his getting his ego bruised imply that their daughter's home was impacted? undecided
You do keep belittling his feeling for some reason by claiming "his ego bruised", but don't you seem to see how his "not feeling good about it" might negatively impact his relationship with his wife?

There is a thread about DNA where I opposed it with, trust will be negatively impacted. But in this case I will ask the op to go do DNA test on the children his wife has for him. That lack of trust is a negative in a relationship.

Reincarnation

A soul is eternal energy. A soul cannot die. It lives on forever. To exist in this physical realm a soul needs a body. When the body dies, the soul can move into another body and keep experiencing life for thousands of years and retain its memories while doing so

Reincarnation is a universal constant. Across the universe souls reincarnate. Humans also reincarnate, the problem is we don't remember our past memories.
A "soul retains it's memories" , but "we don't remember our past memories" ?

So how does it know it reincarnated, I wonder.

3. Harassment is obviously an immature thing for anyone to do in response to a bruised ego. Rather, I would suggest he swallow his pride and maybe avoid meeting them under similar circumstances to avoid a repeat of the same or similar. However, the other side of this is that he may also miss out on relevant information in the future. grin
So why did you decide to change my "avoid them" to "harass them", I wonder.

I don't need any information from such bad toxic in-laws, thank you very much.

1. Again, you and I do not know the circumstances that led to OP finding out about this.
How he found out is a mute point. Fact is he found out and his in-laws told him the following.

Feisu:
But I recently found out he sends money and gifts to my inlaws and they are all so happy with that. Even celebrating this in my presence and saying I shouldn't be jealous or anything because their daughter knows she's married and their relationship was in the past.
Kobojunkie:
Also, there is no law that states such information should not be broadcast to those we wish to keep in the know. undecided
No there is no law. And there's no law saying OP should react one way or the other neither.

2. Explain! huh

Let's assume for the case of discussion that they are, in fact, being wretched, greedy, or lack contentment as you assume them to be, why can't they be that? Is it a crime for them to live that way — receive money and gifts from the man in question? Is there a law against them doing what they did? undecided
Are you intentionally missing the point or what?

They can collect whatever from whomever for whatever reason, but they don't need to tell their in-law because it's none of his goddamn business.

They are negatively impacting their daughter's home by telling her husband what her ex gives them!

1. I am not trying to invalidate the bruise to his ego here. I am simply saying out loud what needs to be, which is that they literally don't owe him anything ......
And that is the point. "They don't owe him anything". You do recall I said the following, right?

budaatum:
They could collect from their ex-son in law and not tell their current son in law, if they did not have a motive.
So why are they telling him what their ex-in-law gives them when it's not his business?

The in-laws are disrespecting him, so it is wise for him to keep his distance instead of harass them like you suggest I meant, so that his ego is not bruised by them. Damn the consequences.

givedemwotowoto:
What will convince you that democracy has failed?
To be honest, nothing will convince me at the moment.

Everything you've listed is, if true, for this current government, which we thankfully have the opportunity to vote out at the next election if we don't like them, which will not be the case if you have a coup.

givedemwotowoto:
You don't need a soothsayer to tell you that democracy has failed in Nigeria.
A soothsayer will do much worse than you are currently doing, I must say.

Nigeria has been a democracy for less than 30 years, and only with the election of Tinubu did we really get the first non-military leader, so I'd say we've only just begun and need time.

America, that has been democratic for ten times we have, elected that horrible worst than any Nigerian president dump!

givedemwotowoto:
Everyone has limits. If you have an agreement with someone but you continue cheating them over and over, they will eventually get to their limit of tolerance. Since you have broken your own part of the agreement over and over, at some point you will see the other side of them. "Cause and Effect".
And this is why you should have democracy, so you can vote them out and vote someone else if you don't like the current ones. You do know you don't have that option with military rule after a coup, right?

And to be sincere, you didn't have any agreement with your current government. They gave you a loaf of bread and a congo of rice and you sold them your vote and now moan.

givedemwotowoto:
Why don't you poll majority of Nigerians from North to South and ask how many of them believe that the election was free and fair.
I was expecting this, and I'm not buying, unless you are presenting it as evidence that we don't yet know how to conduct free and fair elections, in which case, we should go and learn to count better instead of giving up and letting some coup plotters who don't bother with elections to rule over us.

givedemwotowoto:
Check every Democratically Elected President since 1999, only this particular government has met ALL 11 Criteria for a failed democracy.
Assuming this is true, you now want to abandon democracy because of this supposedly one bad Democratically Elected President?

You give up too easy in my book.

givedemwotowoto:
The current government didn't get the majority of votes. They got the most votes of all candidates, but not the majority votes of Nigerians.
Now, this is why my last response ended with an image.

Less than 12 million elected the current government. 20 million voted in total. The rest stayed at home and couldn't be bothered and are now crying that fools elected their government.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for the wailing. Next time get off your ass and vote.

givedemwotowoto:
At this point I want to tell you that you're still focusing on the wrong thing, but it looks like you want to be heard, so I'll tell you this: I hear you. You want to focus your effort on convincing Nigerians to try again with more unity this time. The problem however is, you'll become more and more frustrated. Why? Because it's already late.
First, you can't "tell me". You can only say what you want and hopefully be heard by me. And no, I don't particularly care if you hear me or not, though I do appreciate the fact that you are considering what I have to say.

Second, democracy does not require unity. I vote for my candidate and you vote for yours, and the one with the most votes rules. If I needed unity I'd tell you you must vote for my own candidate.

As for frustrated, rust me when I tell you that is impossible.

You don't know how resilient I am and you think I easily give up like you who wants a coup after just a few years of a supposedly bad government. While I think we might finally use our heads to elect a good government in 2125. So grab a seat and some popcorn. We've only just begun.

givedemwotowoto:
This government has reached the point of a failed democracy. It has divided Nigerians, the last straw being the division along tribal lines.
Democracy is government by the people, so if the government has reached the point of failure, it is we the people that have failed. I don't agree we have failed.

If some people divide you along tribal lines, perhaps you need to start taking responsibility for letting them. i am not divided along any tribal lines, and if I am it is I who is stupïd.

Vote for Peter Obi please. He is not from my tribe.

1. No, it ain't! He is the one choosing to make an issue of what has no direct link to his marriage. Think carefully about it. The money did not come from his marriage pocket, nor did the money and gifts go to him or his wife. So, what part of this is his marriage? undecided
I think you are asking me to ignore the pain he has told us he feels from the hurt of his in-laws actions, and I can't exactly do that because that would involve me not recognising the hurt he has told us he feels.

Now, if he were you, your above would be valid, but since we are not you, can we accept it hurts him?

Kobojunkie:
2. He could simply ignore them and live his marriage; he could keep away from their home since he claims it bothers him, and let them live their life as they choose. My make their marriage and their problem with his marriage? Why? undecided
His angst is not that they collect money from his in-laws, but that they feel the need to inform him. And as I said, he is not you, so I don't expect him to do what you might have done. And I can see how his in-laws telling him would hurt him.

If he were me, he'd probably not bother seeing those disrespectful in-laws as much as he does, and any money I might have given them will go towards schoolfees and chocolate for my kids.

Fuq them, basically.

While I may indeed be blind if I do not see you dancing on the sun tomorrow, I can at least ask you to show me how you left the earth today and arrived on the sun which is about 150million miles away at 12pm tomorrow. After all, it's not like I don't know how almost impossible it would be for you to travel that far in such a short time.

Nobody rules a country successfully if majority of the populace doesn't want them.
Last time I checked, the current rulers of Nigeria were elected by a majority of voters, so it can not be true that the majority of the populace doesn't want them especially if the majority of the populace did not bother to vote whom they want.

Trying to force themselves on the majority immediately enshrines dictatorship. Isn't that a failure of democracy?
We had an election and the current government got the majority of the votes, so you lie when you claim they enshrined a dictatorship. But if you say democracy failed, I'll take it as an admission that you did not bother to vote, or can't stand that your preferred candidate lost.

For your information, my preferred candidate Peter Obi lost too, but a coup is not my preferred solution.
