Y d rush?if he cant wait 4 u let im find anoda person..cos marriage is nt a tin u shud rush into while in skul.

nickxtra: Pls, my wife is nursing 4 months old baby and just after about 3 months of giving birth, we had unprotected intimate relation and a month later, she notices signs of pregnancy. What do we do, as we can't afford to keep the pregancy because our baby is ust too young for her mother to begin another process of giving birth, which as we have timed, may become due when this present is barely a year old? She has tried to see some doctors, but the advice is for her to keep pregnancy and this she finds difficult to do. Pls, I need your advice, what do we do?

Av d baby...dey will b twins...u mit not like it now buh I assure u,u will enjoy it later

Mutaino7: me likey and me share.. I hope she learns and practise what she av bin told.. Xpecting positive change soon @hoynlolar

mamateniola1: Haynlolar, you have to be patient, when he is loosing it, you have to try control yourself. M not looking at it or talking from the angle of 'its a man,or you are the Woman so you must be the one to be quiet' the question I always ask myself is if he is my brother or sister, will I answer or rreact to every thing he says. Just yesterday,he said o didn't pick my call? He got angry n was raking.I even wanted to say y I cldnt, he didn't even listen. I just kept quiet and for our 2 hour drive home,I didn't say a word. He was d one that started looking for my attention much later,begin buy this buy that.I do that most times and sometimes too, he will be d one to keep quiet while I begin rake but you have to teach him just like someone said earlier, by keeping calm when he is hot.
Secondly, don't report your issues to anyone ever again. Don't!! I don't even report ple even in my everyday life,work etc I try not to do,I treat the f u c k up on my own. So pls.
@all, goodevening. Meanwhile, I get testimony. Loll

tnk u dear..May God bless u.

Floodgater: you need to try not to get angry easily. For you to start solving your problem with your marriage, you need to know what is your own problem first so that you can find a solution. You need to grow up fast. You should listen twice or more before you reply. Try to do one thing at a time. Learn to solve your problems yourself not running to mum n mil. Finally ask your husband to tell you the areas he want you to improve on, listen carefully so that you can work on them. What i see as the issue is that your man saw you as a good girl(the type that works around the home alot) but want more after living with you to really see the hasty/immature/unlady part of you. Read good books on marriage and be READY TO LEARN so that you can help him grow too and possibly correct his wrong mentality of beating a woman to prove he is the man. Remember to tell him to show you where you need correction and apologise when you are wrong before moving to another matter.

tnx dear..may God bless ur home too

hoynlorlar: pls wat do u mean

ok I get u now...u gave a gud advice...buh ur 1st paragraph makes me regret posting on dis section.

Ilovenigeria: Hey girl take it easy. This is exactly where the problem is from.
You talk to much and want to reply everything said to you.
Just mellow, and you will see yourself enjoying your hubby.

pls wat do u mean

Godmystrength: how come you are the one to go off the generator? your cousin could have helped with that or you leave the gen on till you are through with what you were doing. All the ish about putting food on the floor would have been avoided......you don't have to do everything by yourself

Are you a full time house wife?

No and yes..am serving..My cousin was wit moi baby.

lamps011: OK don't endure then

u ar insultive

honey86: I feel for you and what you must be going through, i think the problem is your husband never loved you, he only agreed to get married because you were pregnant. It seems he is feeling trapped and taking out his frustration on you. BTW, why was it that you are the one to switch off the gen?, your husband should have taken care of that or even your cousin.

never?we were serious wit our courtship...I told u we had a great relationshp.moreova We av planed to marry dis year b4 I got pregnant last year..he went 4 nyt duty and afta dt nyt duty he also went 4 his weekend programme dt makes him tired.tnk u

snazzylove: Your marriage is still very young to be experiencing such situation, but then again, crises in marriage can start as early as on the wedding night.

First, don't go reporting to anyone again, he may not like it. Thank God you dated him and he was not like this, so definately something snapped in him. The reality of being married and now a father (sure your baby has arrived) may have jolted him into a sad reality. Its not everyone (men especially) that reacts positively to such things immediately, to some it takes a long time to really sink down, that yes am now married and a father, to others they welcome it with a lot of love for the baby and the mother
Sadly it seems ur hussy fall into the first category.
What do you do?
Please take it easy on him, show him a lot of love and respect, don't snap back when he snaps or is acting up. His friends may have told him that marriage is a prison and women nags the life out of the man, those things will kip replaying in his subconscious mind, and it will make him to keep looking out for where you talk back at him or challenge him (intentionally or unintentionally). You need to start massaging his ego.

For the beating, I don't subscribe to abuse (physical or verba). They say real men don't beat women. No matter how much you push him he was suppose to apply restraint. But where he has failed to do so, u need to change your strategy. I'll tell you a story that my momma told me about a woman whose husband always beat.

A particular woman went to seek help from a native doctor to make the husband desist from beating her all the time. After listening to her story, the native doctor gave her a concoction in a bottle and told her that anytime the man starts acting up, she should put the concoction in her mouth and should not swallow or spit it out until the man is calm. He told her to try it for one week and see if the man will beat her. After one week she went back to the native doctor very happy and told the man that the 'juju' is wonderful, that the husband never touched her again, infact he was surprised at her change of attitude. She demanded one gallon of the 'juju' from the native doctor to continue using on the husband. The native doctor told her there was nothing like 'juju' in the bottle, that it was ordinary water he gave to her, he told her to go back home and learn how to keep quiet when the hubby starts acting up.

In essence, from your post its obvious you talk back to him and probably challenge him when he's talking, about the beans issue, if you had politely told him to please hold the food while you get the tray, or apologise and go put the food in the tray am not sure he wolud have abandoned the food. Plus the fact that your cousin was there, he'll feel that you are disrespecting him in the presence of your cousin. Learn to be more matured and diplomatic in handling issues with him, and pls stop telling him you'll report him to anybody, cos you are actually making him feel like a boy that cannot handle his affairs.

If you've done everything internally and its not working, then you'll need to involve a third party but for now, work on yourself and your relationship with him. So that whatever negative opinion he has formed about marriage generally and you in particular will gradually fade away.

I wish you the best in your marriage.

tnx so much 4 dis advice...am relieved.

lamps011: I think your husband doesn't respect you or he's the old school type. but our mothers experienced worse in those days... those that endure among dem were the good women on the long run... be more tolerant as a good housewife
