He doesn't owe her rent. Which yeye entitlement mentality be that one?
At 36? Gosh
Even if she's 20 Is he her father?
His fault was letting her stay 5yrs with that attitude in his house .
Too much kindness sometimes makes o e look like a fool

To the issue, get an estate agent to work with her and give some of your time to search for an apartment for her. Then, pay and help her move out.No one will accuse you of rendering her destitute. Viola...problem solved!

What nonsense!

kunyeo:
As a sequel to my earlier posting,there's a latest development. My father- in- law stormed our house unannounced today and I definitely knew the purpose. He went round and round coming to the conclusion that I allow my sister in law stay with us for some time.I stood my ground and he was about leaving,he gave the parting shot that the lady would stay with us.That was when I lost my cool,letting him know that he can only advise me, but not come and impose his decision on me in my own house.He felt offended that I was arrogant to have boasted that the house belongs to me.He left for his base.I tried apologising to him if I was rude,but frankly there were no ways to assert and express myself.

OP it is well with you. Since you can get out and be fine with your kids especially financially, thank God for that special favor.
The greatest blessing anyone in abusive marriage can get is freedom from that Union.

Calm down first , don't supress your initial sorrow because you may feel the loss even though he was horrible to you.
Then begin your healing process.

All you should be doing is thanksgiving that you're a survivor. You're only one among the few who manage to get away from such things.
His comeuppance will come but not from you.
When it is possible for you to think about that Union without pain, find it in your heart to forgive him for your own sake and to make your healing faster.
I know . Easier said than done but you gotta try.

Wow cry cry cry

And It took them this long to diagnose this?
Stage 4 was probably in stage 2 when they were dilly-dallying.

Gosh.
r231:
Sorry for the late update. We have to make sure that we have all the facts and right information before putting anything out.


Update :

16 Jan 2015

‎As a reminder from the last update which was communicated before the end of the year, Hameed was  referred to a cancer clinic in
VI on suspicion of cancer while still on anti-tuberculosis medications. 

The tests were not able to be carried out last year and for the first few days this year due to the holidays.
They were however done last week


Samples of his blood was taken Tuesday 6/1/2015

CT scan done Friday 9/1/2015
The results of the tests got to us Monday 12/1/2015

Based on these results the diagnosis of the oncologist is that  ‎Hameed has been sick for a long while and has ‎stage 4 cancer.
This is quite unfortunate as it seemed there was some hope that he would pull through to full health.

The doctors working with us were sent the full test results (about 40 pages) and also acknowledged the complexity of the case considering blood tests seemed to show he was ok.

The hospital has sent the results in to their consultants at Rosewell
Park Cancer institute, Buffalo NY for a second opinion

The oncologist has suggested a targeted form of chemotherapy as a means of ensuring quality of life as cure, at this stage, is impossible but quality of life can be managed. 

For now, he has been placed on immune boosters and we are also in consultations as to the ‎benefit of the chemo suggested.

 Hameed and his family has been informed of this development
and we are also working with them to make sure he is comfortable.


Thanks for your support and prayers on this case

Thanks for gving us the only update for 2015..... .at a time when the men of teHN have turned to mice and hide in the shadows of the thread. Suddenly...the cat snatched their tongues...and I guess their balls as well. Nothing was guaranteed....but what was expected was that we make every effort to release DJ of his affliction. Now it seems it is asking too much to give an update from those who took the helm and held the purse strings. Is it because of ego?...,that Babyosisi would be vindicated if the truth is known? I wonder if these people sleep peacefully at nights? Like I said from jump...,the donations would be used up then they would look us dead in the eyes and in a mournful voice tell us "sorry, but we have tried our best". ...bunch of wolves in sheep's clothing.

ONE WAS URINATING BEHIND MY CAR AND I WANTED TO SCARE HIM SO HE WOULDN'T TRY THAT NONSENSE AGAIN SO I TOOK MALT in my fridge, poured it in a small bottle. Tied a red cloth around the bottle and took fallen leafs and a strand of chicken feathers and then used the red cloth to tie it then as soon as I got back outside he had gone. The thing pained me. I kept the make belief charm prepared by me for the next person i see urinating there. Lo and behold I came back from work and I met one who was already attempting to urinate. I just parked gently and went to pick up the object and was sprinkling it around the environment and him and was issuing curses that he will become impotent and crazy.

Ok you suggest separation.

Well I don't think their issues have reached that level but then ultimately it is his choice to make.
Busybody2:
This Cococandy!!!

He is trying so hard to be a man, but has started seeing himself the way wifey sees him as a useless so and so...And somewhere in there, he is still grieving the loss of his Dad...


So peeps are not just solely attacking wifey, but are giving him a two-pronged solution -

(1) reaffirming his question that yes his wifey is a wicked user

(2) advising him to temporarily get him and his son out of that toxic environment.
Family › Re: Is My Wife A User?? - Advice Please by cococandy(f): 11:40pm On Jan 16, 2015
Agreed.

So what else can he except defy her, stop waiting for her to decide for him what to do and take his future into his own hands?

Evil wenchy madam is not here to hear all the blame being heaped on her.

Busybody2:
She shoots down and rubbishes ALL his business ideas and talks him out of it and always discourages ALL his suggestions.





He even tried setting up businesses with his Mum, wifey gets upset, he tries to set up business with his siblings, she gets mad, he tries to invest in land and properties with his Mum and Siblings, she goes ballistic, what does she want him to do?!!




He gave her more than half, gave his mum and siblings a pittance, gave wifey's Dad as payment for wifey's debt oh, and used the rest to pay the bills of the mansion in a posh area that wifey insisted they moved to!!! He wanted to move to a reasonable area with modest bills, wifey refused!!! Now she mocks him that they live in a house his mummy built. This woman is pure evil and will soon bleed this man dry and make him penniless.






He is undergoing emotional domestic violence from this evil wench of a wife, and because its usually the other way round with the woman at the receiving end, it will be hard for him to cry out for help without getting mocked as a wimp, hence reason for his helplessness...

Like I said before, I don't blame him for his wife's behaviour. An uncouth person is uncouth.

All I'm after is his solution not trading blames. As the person to blame is not even here to read and change her attitude.

aisha2:
He isn't whinning, he is being verbally abused, I would never blame an abused woman for being abused.
As I wrote earlier he needs to get his head clear but away from her nagging voice always screaming and insulting him.

Verbal abuse is the same as physical abuse because she can't slap him or beat him doesn't make this any less serious. If a woman was married and did so much for her husband yet he beats her regularly for the one he thinks she doesn't do will we be telling her to woman up.and its her fault he is hitting her?

what does lack of ambition mean

This man is a good provider yet he lacks ambition

huh
He said it himself. That he has not interest in doing anything.
So he lays on the couch all day?
Where's he providing from?
Family handout from mommy?


Lack of ambitions means what it means. No foresight, no plans, no future put into consideration.

If mommy dies tomorrow,that will be the end of it all seeing as he can't even sell okrika to save his life.

He had 20million to start up a business,what did he do? Gave it to his wife most likely because he had no interest in working to make profit from the money. The rest of the 10million he paid debts(why was he in debt since he's from a rich family) probably because he'd rather borrow than make profit from what he has.

He could have made it a family business and put down his feet to demand accountability from wife but he just let her get away with doing whatever she wanted with the profits.

I don't want to blame him but it is what it is.
He has opportunity to do anything he wants to do but won't because his wife doesn't approve.

Come on undecided

This doesn't excuse his wife's behavior anyway before someone will get me wrong.


By i'd rather he does something with his life instead of blaming his wife.

He can't sue anything , he should just take a chill pill and move on with life. It's only in USA that you can sue someone for not packing the snow from the walkway or just for any reason but in Nigeria , forget it.
actually he can. It is talk like this that makes bad people get away with nasty stuff.
If he was able to get the names of the soldiers who did this to him (from their name tags) and the woman with the mysterious money, he can sue them.
At least he has evidence. The pictures are everywhere now.
You will be surprised to see the army disowning the soldiers of the case gets too hot and too much media attention is focused on them.

You think he can just walk away? What about the mental anguish that he will go through every time he remembers it? What about his loss of self esteem? What about the depression that will follow this experience for him? It is not easy to just walk away.
Family › Re: Is My Wife A User?? - Advice Please by cococandy(f): 5:34pm On Jan 16, 2015
Thing is the wife is not here. if she was, i'm sure by now she would have gotten the lesson of her life.

Is he supposed to keep crying that the wife won't let him do the kind of business he wants to do? On top his own money too not like she's providing the capital angry
Na wa. He's not ready to do anything. If he is, his wife's disapproval wont stop him since she's not the one providing the capital.


Nor do I think their problem has gotten to the stage of seperation or divorce.

I'm not blaming him for the wife's attitude but simply stating that his solution lies in his hands.

At least he came for solution abi or he came for pity party?
You know how we tell victims of abuse to take their destiny into their hands and stop whining.
Like that girl in the counseling thread?
I think same applies to him here.
And not just for his wife's respect but also for his family to respect him.

How do you think his brothers and sisters and mother see him being that he's the only one who's not doing anything with his life but relying on the family money?

Once he stands up and regains his self confidence, everything else will most likely fall in place.
aisha2:
So by nagging and insulting him is how she will motivate him abi! Am I missing something isn't marriage supposed to be about building up? She is living in a free house has money to run her business he pays the bill yet he is still good for nothing na wa oh.

Abeg I don't buy the argument that the next wife may be worse thats what is said to abusive wives, next one may be calm and motivating pushing the right buttons saying the right words and helping him overcome what ever fear it is that keeps him from growing.

How are we even blaming this man for his wife's lousy attitude. Ungrateful wrench she is

aisha2:
Isn't that what a wife is supposed to do? Provide back up and support?
In his " overfed mummy's boy" state he provided a house for her, provided money for her businesses abeg wives and husbands spouses are supposed to motivate each other. He comes accross as sheltered, calm and peace loving while she is a trouble maker. My husband was more sheltered than I was, till we married he didn't know how water gets in a house all he knows is there is water when he needs it, me kuma grew up where sometimes I have to get water from the well or even go a.little far and fetch water when there is no water. He laughs at my obsession with gathering water in every available container
I don't mock or nag or use it to insult him, we moved to our house I made and still make arrangements to ensure we always have water.

She is a bad wife no sugar coating being soft and nice is not a crime. He just married the wrong unsupportive woman
I'm not denying the fact that his wife is not behaving well. I've not even gotten over the fact that he has everything he needs and makes then available to his wife yet allows her to trample him.

But how do we help him except telling him the truth?
Blaming his wife won't help him
Telling him to man up and grab what is rightfully his with two hands is all we can do.

That kind wife will only respect him if he mans up.
In fact his kind of man will not have many women respecting him if he continues like this.

Even if he divorces this one and attracts the next one with his money and family wealth,it will only be a matter of time before the next woman discovers his lack of ambition and the cycle will continue.

2. She verbally abuses him and his son too
3. He got 20 million used 12 to fund her businesses
4. She still insults him when she contributes

Poster, why did you fall into the trap of being emotionally blackmailed to be who you are not.
I don't even know what to say, you have empowered her too much and accepted so much that you can't actually call her to order now.

For your peace of mind try a temporary separation and clear your mind.
You seem so docile see how a few women here told you off and you just accepted that they were right instead of clearly stating your points.

You need time on your own to gather strength and have some peace, that woman can lead to an early grave
see he's the one holding himself in bondage. He's been acting an over fed mommy's boy and worse still he gives her the impression that he needs her permission to start anything he wants to do. No motivation,no zeal,no personal decision of his own. It is not surprising she doesn't respect him.

MrNiceGuy79:
I have always been able to get money from handouts from my family as well as some rental properties that I inherited. As a wedding gift my parents bought us a house that is now valued at about 180m Naira. To be honest, I haven't really been working very hard to chart my own financial path and I don't really know why. I have no motivation to do business, start any business or even work in the family business.

You need to start up your own business and do something with your life.
You're comfortable being bossed around, she saw that and is using it perfectly.
If not how on earth will you have money and not use it to start a business,gave it to her and yet don't make her accountable to the family. Isn't it supposed to be family money?
Plus you let her call all the shots from the beginning and she's doing just that in her own way.
In every relationship each partner should have a say. So try and get your say back cheesy

She's right about you and you need to start proving yourself to gain the respect you deserve

Rosarie, what if I told you that I never wanted to move into that expensive house? I begged her to allow us to stay in my rented house which I was paying 100,000 Naira and receive rent from the new house of almost 400,000? She flatly refused and made us move into a house that honestly wasn't of our class (yet). Let me also add that out of that 10m I gave my mum about 1.5m and my bro about 500,000. I also gave my wife a further 250,000. I also had to pay her father 250,000 that SHE had borrowed from him. I also spent some on our new baby who was born that year etc etc. I didn't waste the money my dear. I haven't told the full story.
