Rozz: It is said that a young mind is easier to adaptability and sustenance but as the mind grows old it tends to become habituated to firmness in the decision making process, thus leaving far less possibilities for the couples to compromise on situations.For women,an early marriage is safer in terms of pregnancy.However there are also disadvantages of early marriage for ladies like:responsibility has to be shouldered at a very young age,missing out on the fun of teenage life and being young,health also can get affected as early pregnancy can have a negative impact on overall health and so on.For the married women here who quite married early and still sustaining the marriage,how was the journey like? any regrets?what would you have done differently?what advice would you give a young lady within the age bracket of(17-21) who wishes to get married early as soon as the opportunity present itself?For the married men who married a very young lady,how was the experience with your young wives? bukatyne maximus69 you are welcomed. Good evening Rozz, I am a huge fan of earlier marriages. Like you rightly said, it makes compromising easier as the person is not a 'dry fish' especially in terms to bad habits. To get married earlier is a process. It is a deliberate action: 1. Really know yourself and by extension the kind of man/home you want. 2. This means you do not have the time for juvenile delinquencies however focused on your studies (I am assuming university), proper presentation, etc. etc. 3. Because you place a premium on yourself and know what you want to do with your life, a lot of guys would naturally NOT measure up to you. Politely say no. Household wickedness is real; you do not want a guy you were rude do something harmful to you. I am a prevention is better than cure person. 4. When you choose him, shine your eyes. You see a red flag, address asap. Too many red flags, japa. Read Ubunjaa's threads to know the kind of men to avoid. Also lay off sex too soon or at all. You want a clear mind and soul/body not invested in sex to make decisions. 5. Watch for his thoughfulness and reachability. You want a man who can admit mistakes and correct them. It means you also have to be teachable to him. 6. Check out his vision/ambition. He must have a vision, something driving him to succeed and you must be ready to support that vision. If you can't support his vision, he might not be the one for you. 7. Check out he treats people around him. It is a pointer. 8. How to sustain the marriage: by continuous building. My husband and I have what we call review sessions where we discuss anything and everything such as goals for marriage, family, career and spiritual , things we have stopped doing and started doing, areas of improvement, projects for the house, financial trends etc. etc. My threads 'Sisi MI before you say that Bobo is boring' And 'Does he worth you' Are good reads for you.

MMotimo: @Topic
You’d think this should be common knowledge by now but no, even in Nigeria of 2020, some people still think they are doing kids a favour by bringing them to this world to suffer when they don’t have the financial capacity to raise them.
The same person begging other people to help raise his/her kids would be the same one waiting to feed off those kids the moment they are capable of earning any sort of income; even if it’s just #20,000 a month.
This mindless birthing exists in the developed world too but the difference is the society and the levels of government there have programs in place to support low income folks - regular cash deposits to their bank accounts, subsidies, free services that everyone else has to pay for, scholarships targeted at students from low income households, etc. When are you creating our thread? Good evening.  |

crackkhaus: Circle of life.
I cannot can abeg  I know someone who complains her husband is insensitive and doesn't help with chores, listen to her etc. Yet makes her elder daughter wait on her younger son because he is a 'man'. Colleagues at work nko? A guy was talking of going to the market and they said he should go and marry so he will stop stressing himself. That it is the duty of a woman to go to the market. The ones that make jest of men who complain of been duped in the market nko? Or the ones that say they husbands is too big to do chores and in the next breathe complain they are overworked? Or the ones complaining their sons are 'too soft' or 'does too much chores'? Or the ones fine with a promiscuous son while chasing every man near their daughters? It is still female in-laws who would trouble a wife whose husband cherishes. You will hear 'she is controlling him' etc. When they start whinning, I just smile and move on. When you are tired, you know what to do. I like the wise ones that know they are 'suffering' the consequences of their choices and make peace with it. It is the ones that choose cheats, liars, disrespectful men complaining of same traits after marriage that off me. What do you want me to do? You knew Morufu was a cheat before you married him. Heck! You caught him twice, yet you think he will change because you are now his Mrs.? I remember someone who left brother Luke who sleeps in the couch and prays with her so they will not engage in pre-marital sex because he was too 'gentle, boring' to marry raskimomo. When I see these things, I remember Ewuro5 that said she wants to match make her girls. The way we are going, that is the way to go. |

Mizwisdom: True talk. But it's not entirely the man's fault. If a man decides to be nice to his wife, help her do domestic chores, cares for his family and makes the wife happy, if his family member visits and sees what he is doing, he/she will quietly retur to his family to give a report that his wife has bewitched him, she's using remote control for him, she has turned him to mumu, etc. People don't expect men to be good husbands, they'll say he's bewitched. So whoever marries a Nigerian man should know what to expect before entering, that's why I'm telling this sister that what she's going through is what society expects her to go through and it's what she will expect to put her son's wife through, so swallow the bitter bill  Chop kiss jare  And you know the amusing part? It is the WOMEN in the husband's family that will raise the dust. |

GboyegaD: This your number 3 though.... I can't imagine someone apologizing over and over again for a crime not committed and I sure would detest it s a man. Nobody likes it. Infact, most humans don't like to apologize for what they did talk more of something not done. Let's look at the OP's situation: 1. She is married to a typical 'Nigerian' husband with ego, entitlement, think they deserve worship, unwilling to invest in the good of the marriage et AL. 2. This particular strain keeps malice whenever there is a misunderstanding (never mind who is wrong) till she apologizes 3. For some reasons, his malice gets to her. 4. She is NOT ready to leave the marriage as at today, nobody knows tomorrow. 5. From points 1 to 4 above, the onus is on her to try and create an atmosphere relatively peaceful because she cannot ignore him. 6. When I say apologize, it is not the heartfelt I realize I am wrong type. It is the sorry, let me rest type. Just how we do 'Bros nor vex, where is the road to the abbattoir' or 'sorry, are you the last on the queue/ is there any one behind you?' In the Scenario above, you are not sorry for anything, it is however an ice breaker. So also her husband starts, it is 'daddy X, abeg no vex, I did not see it that way' or 'I am sorry you felt that way'. You are not even apologizing for what you did however for the way other person feels. We must learn to focus on what we can control and move on. |

crackkhaus: Wow, so many stories of unhappy women in their marriages.
What must be responsible for this 
Is it that the men involved have always been like that, but as expected, they are very good at gaming these women with love and excellent sex... OR is it that the women never really paid attention, got carried away easily, and were quite easy to deceive?
It really has to be one or the other, because I don't believe an adult already set in his/her ways can suddenly change. They may pretend, adapt, or be able to project a false personality but to change? NEVER. When we say look before you leap in, they act like rabid dogs on several threads. A woman chooses a man: study him, study him, study him. There are markers and strains of behavior: look well. That's why I like Ubunjaa's threads and think every young lady should read them well. That way, when you see his apostles, you jump and pass. These young men that are bad news were mostly trained by their mothers. This now begs the question: if they thought their men bad, why didn't they train their sons to the standard of the ideal man? No, they train their sons same way so that the next set of wives would complain and repeat the same cycle. The men that are gentle would also be mocked for been gentle and exploited. The Nigerian marriage landscape is an enigma. |

According to this moniker @funmisticqueen2: "So why am I one of the most hated females here, because my self esteem is above average (a lot of work to get there) and I say my truth in a way no one wants to hear. Men in Nigeria, live off putting the women below them. That's why I call it privilege.
Why do you think we have redpillers here. The are the ones who cry foul because they are losing their privilege."

MizJaY: sorry for d long message but this lockdown period might favour reading long msgs. I'm d quiet type so I have never open mouth to insult my husband during any misunderstanding. just arguments and my voice may go up a bit trying to explain or clear myself but he will start saying im raising my voice and talking back at him and start saying all sort of things, honestly sometimes I wished I could unleash d anger deep down and screammm but I always have self control. if u sit with him, he will give u a million reasons why I'm not a good wife and if u don't know me well, u will fall for it because he tells it so well. I will not say everything he says is false, but 80% is. Only those that really know me, will know he is d one dat has problem he's too difficult at times. In an office, there's usually that one person that quarrels with everyone am I right? But I end up being d only person that dat person doesn't quarrel with cos I try as much as possible to avoid quarrels that's just d kind of person i am. Calm n quiet. When I met my husband nysc days, he was very close to God, organizing programs in church and handling them. That was d main reason I got close to him cos i wasnt so spiritual and needed someone to help me grow spiritually thru life. He told me he was called to be a pastor and that excited me but im not seeing that now lol. He's spiritual life is almost zero. And back then, he had nothing, we would spend all my money even to reach he's sick mother in d village i would buy all d foodstuff to send to her, d way he talked he sounded promising that things will get better with him, but today, I still suffer, I have no savings, all my salary is on d house. He works too and earns but he's salary cover rent and d children's school fees finished. I do d rest but he doesn't appreciate d fact that i sacrifice everything I earn to feeding d house we are family of 6. Everything provision, food, children school snack, fuel for car n gen gas filing etc etc it's me. And that's how my whole salary will just go fiam, if I ws getting a little appreciation I for no mind but rather i get insult o. It's my fault that Money is finished, it's my fault that we have no savings, I don't know how to manage money, I'm hoarding my money etc etc those are d words that come out of his mouth o � I used to be a beautiful woman but no more, I wear one shoe everyday to work, can't buy myself clothes shoes nothing I had to cut my hair to relieve myself from hair money lol. I'm stressed out thinking of where money will come for feeding when my salary gets finished before month end at times I have to beg my sister or my dad a pensioner or hussle one way or d other. I now developed high bp and today I'm living with hypertension taking drugs everyday. It was my parents that gave my husband d job he's doing today. He is not in talking terms with he's dad n siblings. Before he's mother died, things were not too good between them. My husband likes to always form man of d house and want me to apologise whenever there's a misunderstanding saying that I am d one wrong, I'm always wondering how am always d one wrong and he's not � every time, sometimes self I don't know what I did that mks him angry he will just start carrying face. Today makes it a week we are not talking cos he has been carrying face since 7days now, and went to post something on wassap yesterday that a woman that cannot apologise to her husband cannot stay in marriage. My brothers and sisters if I know of anything I did that I have to apologise for yet I refused to apologise that is making him carry face, may God strike me. If u know I did anything wrong why not come to me and tell me u don't like what I did and tell me what i did rather than carry face up n down. He always does that. At times I do ask him and as usual am always d one at fault. Maybe it's cos I'm a quiet person he's taking me for mumu. D national anthem now is that because he does not have money that's why I don't respect him the way I'm supposed to. Im always careful with my word when gisting with him cos make I make mistake say Donald duke is d current governor of rivers state haaa problem don enter and it may spoil d sweet gisting we were having. He go almost insult me and become uninterested in gisting with me again cos i don talk mumu talk. So how can I handle such man cos if no be say I be quiet person, I for don receive serious beating black and blue from this man cos he has done it earlier on in our marriage not serious beating sha but I had some bruises. If not that my parents are still alive and warn him. Tho he still attempt once a blue moon I go jus arrange myself. But I'm kind of tired. I have no money cos trust me, if I had, Maybe i for don dey plan my move sef I no dey enjoy marriage life at all I see two issues: 1. You both are earning below the standard of living you have set for yourselves. In what ways is your husband trying to increase his earnings? 2. Do you have a written budget where you can track income with expenditure so you see where you can cut expenses (I know what you have is not enough however, that will reduce the mental stress on you). 3. You have the classic egoistic Nigerian husband. How do you navigate them? By apologizing when issues crop up whether you are wrong or not. Yorubas call that apology 'gba je n simi' or 'sorry, let me rest.' So issues come up, it is quickly 'sweetheart, sorry, I did not mean it like that.', 'sorry, no vex' etc. 4. His spiritual life: what happened to the man that wanted to be a pastor? Just how you leaned on him for spiritual growth, you might need to return the favour now. And good that you have to wisdom to avoid his blows since you are still willing to stay. |

Also,she added a caveat when she said it,that maybe later the love can grow and come back to her heart. Though I must add this,for few days I've been full of attitudes towards her;one word answers kind of,and I started coming back home late.I expected her to subtly find out what's come over me,only for her to drop the msg.Going forward I will be fine.Thanks all Your wife said she longer loves you: you did not do anything about it. Infact you still slept with her meaning you don't care about her feelings/state of mind as long as you get want you want. This surely would be cascading to other parts of your marriage. If tells me you are a very selfish husband. You are now giving her the silent treatment and wondering why she is not asking you what is going on: You are egoistic and place your ego above your marriage. She is still updating the message expecting you to engage her why the love is no longer there. Drop ego and selfishness and ask her why she no longer loves you.  |

Souqwaqif: Alright go through this:
Goodmorning all, I will try to make it very brief. This lady has tried and needs urgent counselling. She seems to be the breadwinner of the family while her husband while a way with I don't care attitude,such as not providing feeding allowances, coming home very late at night often,with no good reasons,not picking calls when he travels to his village for days, chatting side chicks which has been confirmed on several occasions,leaving house rent almost completely for his wife to pay,not allowing his wife siblings to spend the night in his house but his own relations will do,not bothered about the wife health challenges and her concerns to make peace. Recently the wife family members had a meeting with him to resolve differences but after a while he continued again and this is virtually affecting all areas of the family psychology and mental health even spiritual. The last attempt she made was to contact the wife family relations and they called him on phone,but he was rather speaking old issues that has been resolved concerning his wife bringing her relations to the house.
Please what is best counsel out there we can give this relation of mine,remember she has tried prayers and still praying, she has contacted a few family members of her husband but they are all in support of the man.
Your input is appreciated for sake of peace This story was familiar so I went back to your profile. I asked some questions on the other thread you have not answered. Can you bring the wife HERE? She can open a fresh moniker and deactivate after a while. There is a leverage the husband has over the wife that she keeps begging and apologizing if you are claiming she has done no wrong. |

Mrstoned: I am just curious to know the effects and implications that one can expect from what my wife of 10years said to me this morning.My wife told me as I was about to make love to her that,she doesn't love me again,meanwhile, I was sucking the breasts when the bombshell dropped,I went ahead to remove her cloths and went down to do the normal duty.But I have been cold to her afterwards,cos I kind of feel strange presently, I don't want the cascading effect of her words to gofar,I might not forgive her.
So if I may ask,is it possible she was pulling my legs,also considering she has never said something like that before,even at times of difficult and problematic issues. Mr. Stoned, You still went ahead to make love to your wife after she said she doesn't love you? That is not good enough. You should have engaged her there and then asking what she meant. It is not too late though and ensure you get an answer from her. |

Smhaykins: Hello peeps,
Please advice.
I stay with my sister, they av a 3 bedroom apartments. And I stay in one of d room because z closer to my office and I go to my house on weekends.
But since I moved in, I observed dat her husband always beat her.. I don't know if he just started or he has been doing dat before...because my sister has never complained to us.
Though, if not dat I leave with dem, I will advice every lady to pray for dat kind of guy...cos he z so caring, Av time for his family, comes home early, religious, doesn't smoke nor drink. Most times do d cooking if he comes home before my sister.
We r a bit close, cos z a cr7 fan, n we go to viewing center to watch champions league together, ( he prefers viewing centre Dan watching at home).
When I tried to discuss the issue of him beating my sister with him, he was so angry, and he replied dat z not my fault, dats y dey don't want a third party in der ouse cos ppu will never mind der business.
I also tried talking to my sister, she said do I want her to pack out of her husband ouse or wat do I want her to do if av not gotten another husband for her. Dat every marriage has issues. N she warned me not to tell our parents.
Actually, z not always a serz beating, may be a slap or two, den my sister will lock his shirt n dey will start abusing each other...after some minutes dey will enter d room n by d time dey come out z always settled. Most times I will just hear d sound of d slap in my room, by d tym I rush out out, my sister wud av locked his shirt n dey will start abusing each other. When I try to intervene or settle it. The two of dem will tell me to leave dem alone dat dey will settle it. But I feel bad whenever it happens cos I will feel guilty for not speaking out if domestic violence leads to my sister's death someday.
Please advice if I shud report to our parents or not. 4th April 2020, you were thinking of carrying sacrifice for your fiancé 21st April 2020, your two year old daughter can't talk 1st May 2020, your sister whom you live with gets slapped by her husband.
