Romance › Re: Is This Lady Interested In Me? by ImaIma1(f): 12:33pm On Jun 19, 2018
Just sounds like child's play. She is moody today, ok tomorrow. She is giving green light...and then red light.

It saves more energy to ignore her or friend zone her.

this is not her fault its the chauvinist settings in Africa.... To here you are a slave to every member of your husbands family loool... Is there tribal differences?
No...the same state.

So you see...before you get bias and conclude that a wife is more disposed to her family, you should find out things first. You can imagine my MIL coming with her two daughters below 18yrs and i was still slaving like that for almost 3months. Still when they were leaving, i gave them many things...phone...clothes...handbags.

So if i relocate abroad and i have another baby and i send for my sister instead, won't i be termed as a bad inlaw, forgetting the seed that was sown. But that is what i will do and i will tell my mil politely and with all sincerity that i need someone to look after me as well as the baby and she didn't do that.

Cos i have told my hubby that next time i would prefer my family member that i can quarrel with and send around without them feeling insulted. And he agreed cos i was the one that insisted on his mum in the first place since mine is late.

MILs are cool but most of them have the interest of their son and grandchild more than their DIL.

What things? The different faith?

My husband and I share the same faith.

Or is it the fact that she would let me stress myself after delivery? No i didn't see that.

The good thing is that her daughter is pregnant and she will go take care of her. I can bet that even if her daughter has a normal delivery, she won't lift a pin cheesy.

∆ You know, I watched how things roll recently then I realized everyone at one point or the other isn't perfect. Men accuse ladies of being whorish. But men are also the authors of bigger messes...This one is clearly a murderer. Whether accidental or not what could have prompted this? Barely four months after wedding.
I think choosing a life partner needs more of God's guidance than mere human calculations and predictions we make especially here on nairaland. sad ∆

ImaIma1 sorry to say this...all yourpoints have been directed towards defending the woman folks which is kinda biased...let me ask you,if it was your mother acting all those drama towards you,will you despise her like you are doing to your mother inlaw right nowhuh Secondly,you are a woman ,your son(s) will get married then you will understand this better...mother inlaws dont hate their daughter inlaws,most cases i have seenhave been caused by either the wife's altitude towards things or trying to control the man,or maybe the family never wanted their son to wife her in the first place..though some families can hate you for no reason loool...but daughter inlaws are still to be blamed cos they wont treat they are becoming one with a man and yet the can't take his family as their,even after adopting the family name.... Well i will end this debate here as i feel we have kinda deviate from the original thread...nne put your house in order,you are lucky to have a good man....don't joke with husband's family oh,they can ruin your marriage,try to stay close to the,no matter what!!
My house is in order. My MIL doesn't live with me. My mum wouldn't have allowed me go to the market constantly and spending so much time standing in the kitchen cooking two weeks after a ceasarian operation.

That is why i said she showed me that she is not my mother so i can't treat her like a mum. I think the fact that i don't share their faith plays a role. We are both Christians though.

I will not interfere in my son's marriage and i will take my DILs like my daughters knowing what it means. My mum hardly ever visited my brothers or sister for that matter. I have learnt from her.

I call my inlaws even more than my husband calls them. No issues there.

What a world! He Killed his wife after just four months of martial lifehuh They were never in love.
These are the possible scenarios:

1. He wanted to pride himself as having a beautiful wife irrespective of her manners, but low and behold he couldn't stand the real her anymore.

2. She never loved him but because He was capable of taking care of her materially, she agreed to marry him.

Moral of story: The first and foremost thing in marriage is good manners. Never! I repeat never ever marry your partner solely because of good looks. For the ladies, wealth is not a yardstick.

He who has ears, let him HEAR.

Ima I agree with you that few should not be used to qualify all, but then 90% crop of modern ladies have that domineering tendency especially in the early days of marriage, they want to make the rules and dictate who comes and who gets what, most times against the man's family, all in the name of protecting her family.
I once had a gf who wanted to try that rubbish with me 3x, it was enough to tell me the kind of wife she will be. When I changed my attitude and gave it back to her nobody told her to park well and stay away.
Men should take charge of their marriage especially at the early stage, never give unnecessary room.
Let every member of the family know their place including the inlaws.
90% is gotten from which census? I disagree. I even see many good wives with inlaws trying to frustrate them.

Infact, one that i know is pregnant. Her sisters inlaw are just a product of bad upbringing. I saw the chat of ine of them and i had to beg my pregnant friend to just be calm. Meanwhile she herself is a superb inlaw and helped her brother's wife when she put to bed. She planned a surprise birthday party for her other brother's wife.

She keeps asking why she had to have bad inlaws.

Some people are just mean..wives..inlaws...siblings but it will still be unfair to generalize for the sake of the good ones that always strive to be good and accommodating.

Many men will neglect their families when the going is good and then become humble when things crumble.

Let your dad be. Do not waste precious time and money that you could use to achieve much to fight him.

Focus on your mum. She needs to be break free from your dad's hold or else she will continue to remain his vomit that he keeps going back to.

See Ima, a cousin got married his wife insists that anytime his family members including his mum needs money or anything from him, they should first consult her or request through her. But when she earns her money she distributes to her mum and siblings without his knowledge or passing through him. Now tell me, is this the cleaving u preach??
Fear women!!
Do not use one or a few people to qualify all.

Even if i am not in love with my MIL especially how she treated me when she came when i put to bed, i ask my husband if he has sent her money in case it skipped his mind.

A lot of times some guys put themselves into problems when they use girlfriend to do wife and wife to do girlfriend.

I met a guy recently who told me of how him and wife discussed not allowing inlaws come over. His family side was secured but not his wife's side. He said as he was speaking to me his wife's sister has been there for almost a year and his MIL over 2months

The wifes sister came to the house with pregnancy and gave birth there and the mum came. Him and his wife have problems because of this. But he told me something. He said he is a reserved person and he wanted to marry someone that was outspoken and more vocal.

He said he was warned about his wife but he went ahead because she had a dominant character. He said he was not expecting someone that will say 100 before he even says one. Now regrets his choice and he just manages the situation.

There are bad women but it doesn't cross out the fact that there are many good ones. Focus on the good ones you know.

nne quit the story thing... In my large extended family ,we have trained upto 50 inlaws(the ones i can count) for our various wives(my uncles).... Women always have their way....and you pushing family away from your family will cause more harm atime than good,if the man and the woman does not have a skeleton in their cupboard both families an always visit once in a while...i trust my family as they do not intrude into marriage related issues,dont know about other families though......woman are possessive in nature,and dont forget that them dey like compete with themselves die..hence its natural for many woman not to love their mother inlaws..them prefer their husband brothers to sisters and mother T or F??
Guy!! You seem to see things from.only your POV.

If you cannot talk to your wife and agree on a thing, that is the fault of both of you for not being able to communicate.

I have inlaws from my sisters, brother and myself. My sis is even closer to her sisters inlaw than to us. Infact you won't know which is her inlaw or sister.

People make things difficult for others intentionally. You say women prefer the male inlaws to females. Most ladies try to mark territory and frustrate the wife..seeing her as an outsider coming to snatch their brother or son.

I don't hate my MIL but she made me understand that i shouldn't see her as my mum. So i keep a safe distance. I just set a reminder to call her and ask how she is doing. Just basic duties of a DIL. No extra.

I want my children to be free to speak up...not being timid and shy. I won't shut them down or overreact when they try to tell me something. So that i keep communication open.

I won't make beating a norm. I will give them a chance to defend their actions and tell me why they shouldn't be punished.

I won't act like i know it all. Let them know i can learn from them.

Allow them be what they want to be. Doesn't have to be doctor, lawyer,etc.

This exactly is what I mean by not forgiving them....the letting go aspect is what I'm tryna do, it's not as if I'm gonna be planning how to hurt them or something, but we'll simply NEVER be a family again once I've repaired my battered esteem.

There are family you're born into and there are those you choose....
I also agree with other people's views about forgiveness. I don't think you can move forward genuinely while holding on to people.

You cannot sentence people to life imprisonment, 5yrs, 10yrs in your heart and be ok.

The annoying thing about unforgiveness is that it affects the party that holds the grudge more. You see your siblings living their lives happy and oblivious of your hatred for them and it will pain you the more.

They offended you but you are the one carrying the load for them.

It is better you use them to learn forgiveness now because marriage has a way of bringing out the best and worst in people. So that you will not be keeping malice with your wife every now and then.

All the best. You guys will laugh over it soon.

either you are not in Nigeria or you are not in Nigeria,either way you are still not in Nigeria.how can you say an average Nigerian man should not be scared of the unkown,with the way Nigerian ladies are these days,majority of them can never be seen talking about marriage,all you hear from them is wedding this,wedding that..its only the wedding thing they have in their head,the fantasy of putting on a white gown,and ring and the kissing thing..then honey moon haha..outside that most of them hardly prepare for the marriage life...i have seen several girls with that mindset to the extent that one proposed to me,nne i wont lie oh i ran for my dear life..the fact is most Nigerian ladies just want the marriage cos of the activities that go with the wedding,and you are telling me not to be observant and careful with such women??nne say something else... And let ,me not even go in details cos the rate at wish young women are digging gold these day,we might run out of gold in the future....the quest to get married to rich men is now another problem on its own,i pity those everage guy still hustling to get to the top..cos an average Nigerian lady sees marriage as a means of getting rich quickly,and you are here telling me not to be scared of the unknown abihuh Clap for ya self!
Any lady going into marriage because of one day out of 70-80 years is delusional.

All i see here is "Nigerian ladies...Nigerian ladies".

Oh!!you think Nigerian men are perfect. You hear a man talking about marriage and how his wife must wash his clothes, cook fresh meals daily, and everything fantasy he has in his head...and she must still work and bring in money and not be a liability.

Men beat their wives, bully them, talk about how their mums will be their number one and can even sleep with him and his wife on their bed.

Men cheat and bring in all kinds of STDs and pass it on to their wives. They want to have their cake and eat it. They push the upbringing of the children to their already working wives so that they can have some freedom.

But you don't see me generalizing and insulting all "Nigerian me" up and down. There are still fantastic Nigerian men.

Even if i had a few bad experiences with "Nigerian men", i still had a positive mindset that even if it is one good one left, i will have him. Maybe that is why i was able to meet a wonderful Nigerian man that gives me peace of mind.

Quit obsessing already. This Nigerian girl this and that is getting old.

The one thing I'll avoid totally is the autocracy that comes with having to respect one's senior. I hate that thing to the core cos it only ends up destroying the self-esteem of an individual, especially the lastborn in most cases of whom I am unfortunately one-everybody transferred their aggression and vented their frustration on me but I had no one to let off steam to. So it all just built up till it turned into hatred, frustration, damaged self esteem and eventually depression.

I'll have the courage and boldness to apologize to my kids when I wrong them without fearing disrespect from them....this is what my mom and siblings NEVER do, infact they won't even keep quiet or bribe you with gifts sef like other families do, they'll rather twist it all till they find a way to absolve themselves of them and possibly even push it to your doorstep.

I went through hell in my family to the point that I decided to stay away from them and pray for their prosperity without my help. I pray they never need my presence to make it in life cos I honestly can't stand their disgusting behaviour.

Like yesterday my elder sister, a 38year old lady drank purewater, put the remaining in a cup and dropped it on the sofa. She does this most times but I always remove it for her without even telling her, till yesterday when some of the water from the pure water had spilled on the sofa makimg it wet, because the cup had turned sideways. I told her gently that the water she puts on the sofa has now made the chair wet, instead of her to accept her mistake and say oh thanks jarey, she rather went defensive by saying she puts it in a cup now and it's not supposed to pour out that way. I was just pissed off internally, cos was she even supposed to put purewater nylon in a cup and place it on a sofa in the first place?

I just logged off her matter cos i knew then that she was a waste of time and a lost course.
Wow!!! I really hate that over respect thing and calling someone "aunty" or "sister" especially if it just a year or less than 5yrs...totally unnecessary and annoying.

I am also the last child with 5 older ones but i am not from the "aunty" tribe. So i only call our first born who is about 17yrs older "sister". The others... by name.

My advice...make friends. When you are out at work, etc, push yourself to talk with someone. Don't keep to yourself. Mix up and try to be with people that make you laugh a lot.

For me, dressing well and paying a little extra attention to my appearance makes me feel confident.

Minimize your words with your older ones. Don't talk much around them so that you don't get riled up. Be quiet and give them that "you know you are wrong look" when they try to pin things on you. Don't say a word.

When you have the finances, move out. Don't tell them anything until when they see you packing. If it is possible to move when they are all out, good.

Nobody has the right to control your life not even your parents.

Consciously make friends and mingle with people who make you laugh

And yes...pray..heart to heart talk with God. Not the default...generic prayer. Pour out your heart like you are talking to a caring father

Na only twice my people come visit me for university in another state, I free like bird, na street OT man use survive, if them dey come check me frequently it would have really made sense.
If it is secondary school, you can visit often. But in the uni, they need to learn independence without mummy and daddy popping in every now and then.

It would make them still depend on you guys like babies. I didn't get much visits...just calls and i was fine. I could pack my bags and go home any weekend to relax.

It is not supposed to be that way. It doesn't mean abandoning your family. It means your wife and new family become your priority. Your mum will always be your mum. You should never abandon her.

But remember that she has her own husband and she is in his house.

Couples need to set a policy in their homes for inlaws. How long they are allowed to stay or if at all they should sleep over.

If only the wife's inlaws in the house, whose fault is that? Should the wife call the husband's family to come and visit or stay?

Marriage is one institution that has many detractors and physical principalities, not spiritual. Everyone will want to have a say. That is why it is always best to keep inlaws, families at bay to avoid someone feeling insulted.

I hope you will also be happy to have your sons be buying everything in the names of their wives (your daughters-in-law).
I guess you guys are assuming that he would leave this earth first. What if you leave first? Then he would have to go through the process of changing the titles to his name. And it is not an easy process.
It is his way. I didn't ask for things to be in my name.

Who's name should my sons put in their properties? Mine? They are building their own life too with their wives. Why will they put my name?

Concerning whoever goes first, families don't come to harass widowers for properties the way the harass widows when the spouse dies.
