playapayaski: Not hard, u either still love ur wife very much or scared of the perceptions of people outside especially in church.. What will they say or think? Keep working on it and if it doesn't then quit, that don't mean u won't cater for ur kids? But the real question here is, are u a good husband Have u listened to ur wife n actually check ur own self for faults?
The problem is that my wife is extremely stubborn and don't listen to me. She used to have this feminist mentality. Her mother also controls her father and can tell him to eat shit and shut up in front if everyone.
When she(my wife) does something wrong and I complain to her mother, she shouts in me and calls me a bitter person and that I always complain alot and if I refuse to complain that her and my wife does first, she says I have guilty conscience that's why I didn't call to complain.
The best thing to do na to just catch Oga at the top and fling him come the side were those hungry Lions are so at the end of their meal, Nigeria will be liberated and better again
