Acidosis: Do you think a man should take responsibility for leadership in the home?
NB: The home means husband, wife and children, and their relations with outsiders, extended families, etc. If that’s what the both of them want, I don’t see an issue. I think that individuals should come to a mutual agreement on how to run their home, not be forced into things by default and their love be questioned if they don’t agree to it. |

crackhaus: Another faulty inference. Lol nothing faulty about my inference I don’t submit to my husband = I don’t love him I don’t do what you want = I don’t love you In this case, the ‘what you want’ is the act of being submissive Same way you wouldn't walk into a fire just because you love someone, is the same way you don't have to do what your lover wants every time. Same way I shouldn’t be submissive just because I’m supposed to love someone? But this is exactly what Acid is arguing for. He said not submitting to your husband and genuinely loving him are mutually exclusive. I don’t submit to my husband = I don’t love him‘ As for compromise, this is not even a function of love but altruism. People make compromises for you every day without feeling that 'love' for you - your bosses, the sellers you're buying from, etc. There’s a difference between compromising on how much to sell smoked fish to a customer at a cheaper price and the important decision of submitting to the authority of your husband for the rest of your life If your conditioning is to equate submission/being submissive to having no voice of your own, then I fear we are just going to keep going in circles. I’m not debating its meaning. I’m saying whatever its definition, just because you don’t agree to it does not necessarily mean you don’t love your partner |

Not all mothers deserve respect just because they gave birth to you in my opinion. I would put up with her for as long as I needed to and then bounce, use her for the help with schooling and other resources she’s providing and then be on my merry way once I can get on my own feet
Sorry to hear and good luck with the outcome |

crackhaus: But that is exactly what the definition of love is. 
Anyway, agree to disagree. Like I also said, it involves compromise but it is not contingent on it. So every time I don’t do what you want it means I don’t love you? Lol how manipulative. When it comes to ‘compromising’, it’s the woman that needs to when it comes to the topic of submission, the guy can’t also ‘compromise’ not having her submit for some reason lol |

Acidosis: How do you define love?
[s] I really hope you won't end up defining self-centredness and selfishness[/s] crackhaus: Then they have never experienced true love in its raw and purest form. Love isn’t leaving fundamental parts of who I am behind just to please someone else and being guilted/having my love questioned if I don’t. Love involves compromise but isn’t necessarily contingent on it. I guess we’ll just agree to disagree. |

Acidosis: Women naturally want a man they can submit to...even in bed.
The problem is, many look for the wrong reasons to "submit". Genuine submission comes only from loving genuinely. Ok so it’s just your own personal version of love that you’ve convinced yourself of. The want to submit may be influenced by love for SOME women however they are NOT mutually exclusive. Submission is not necessarily the definition of love, it’s just something that may come with it for some people. Plenty of women who don’t want to be submissive and aren’t but it doesn’t take away from the love they have for their partner |

Acidosis: The question of submission does not come with many conditions. The only condition is, do not marry a man you cannot submit to. That means, do not marry a man you do not (genuinely) love. So (genuinely) loving your husband and not being submissive are mutually exclusive? |

nahzyla: I honestly don't understand why many men in this thread are so angry
Is it because of the amount I said I would be receiving? You all don't think it's right for women to earn more than men? Oris it because I wrote 'my children' instead of our children? Does it even matter? My husband calls our baby 'my son', ' my boy', 'my capon' etc when we are at home or with other people and I don't even see the big deal, he isn't wrong to say that so why is my saying 'my children' now a sign of disrespect?
Or are they angry because I said I want to use the money to better my kids lives instead of saying I want to spend on my husband? Personally I too would prefer him to spend his money on the children before considering me because they are the most important people in our lives right now.
I honestly don't understand the outrage and the wrong conclusion about my disrespecting my husband. If I didn't have respect for him I would not even seek second opinion from people for a job that pays so much. I would just leave. Don’t mind them  I doubt married people go around saying ‘our’ when referring to their kids to people unless their spouse is literally next to them during that point in time or in the same vicinity for example. The way you worded it was not that deep, lmao what a reach Best of luck with whatever decision you choose |

mrblessed: My brother, the title of this post -- "Should I leave him?" -- clearly betrays the lack of respect this young lady has for her husband, solely because he is currently incapable of providing the type of material comfort she requires. When I saw first the post, I thought it was the usual, run-of-the-mill boyfriend-girlfriend relationship challenges that litter the entire landscape of nairaland.
Imagining a future without the husband, and with no intention of being cynical, cast a huge doubt of paternity on those children. Lol oh boy |

martineverest: no I vomit or regurgitate them...very useless question.
the op IQ is very low.thw question is self-answering.why is it call 'swallow? I wasn’t born or brought up in Nigeria, don't think I even knew about the term ‘swallow’ until I joined Nairaland, so to me, it was just food and naturally I chewed. Textures of swallows are usually soft but not as soft as say pap/ogi for example where you would instinctively swallow, lol chill |
