CareerSeafarers: The Unsung Heroes by koife(op): 7:13pm On Jun 25, 2021
While the world was on Covid lock down and doctors stole the front pages. Seamen were quietly behind the scenes to keep world supplies going albeit strict restrictions from countries they sail out to help. some contracted covid, were rejected by their own country and country they went on SOS for, and eventually died onboard on international waters while trying to keep you happy. They paid the ultimate price. They leave their loved ones for extended period and live in solitary regimented space cry
Do you know 90% of world supplies goes through the seas and Oceans? Seafarers, in my opinion are not least appreciated folks despite their contribution to the world.

From the WhatsApp chat, I can see that she complains about the way you explain things to her. Do not be condescending when explaining things to another adult, especially your wife. Try not to make her look stupid because you have a better idea on something.

I don’t think this is the end of the road. You can still mend things. Being offshore is very challenging. It puts a lot of pressure on relationships. Just hang in there. When next you’re around, try to settle with her.

Your brother in-law is a fôol though. Never forget that.
Thnx mate

Mr Man, this woman will dump you for a better guy the first chance she gets!
All I see up there is a man suffering from a nagging and unsupporting lady. It seems she dislikes working for something and prefers "ready made"
I am suspecting the aunty cause she may be behind this change of character. Who knows, she might be looking outside the marriage for her "benefits" (hence her telling you that some people marriage is better than yours)
How can your husband lose 2 fvxking million and all you could deduce from the situation is a request for wage increment?? Shows the kind of human she is.
Be a papa to your child, love her and shield her (though I fear for the influence the mum will have on her), do all your necessary duties, but be wary of that lady.
Stop updating her on what is going on, take back the reigns of your financial life and march forward. Since she doesn't appreciate how your toiling for her, she should have no problem in handing over.
Don't sign anything in her name. The issues you put forward to her saw no solutions from her so don't bother telling her about them again!
I won't recommend a divorce, but give her some distance, give her space
Let her think on her own and make her own decision.
Thanks man
RomanceI Think I Want Out by koife(op):
Permit me start by saying, I have my flaws. I could sometimes be a pain in the ass but I know when to press the stop button. My marriage is barely two year with a cute daughter ( haven) which I cheering and love with my breath. My wife has been a supportive woman,kind and homely untill recently. I may not be able to put things succinctly but I will try to be brief. We've had our hiccups just as every couple would but the last few months has been unbearable.

My job takes me six month away from the shore of nja so my wife is virtually my eye on our business and growth. I support her with upkeep, yes it may not be enough but our plans has been that she add little from her salary to augment Wich she totally agreed to. A few weeks before I left home for work, we had a financial storm and few needs were hard to provide coz I wanted to quit my job and search for another job that will give me time with my family. While on job search I declined calls to rerun to work. So I hustled with me car for ubber and do occasional selling and buying of car for profit. My wife went ahead to gossip me to her elder sister whom I've always suspected has big influence on her coz her hubby is well to do, that we eat crumbs as meal. Before I found out this, I kept asking my wife if she has been tongue lashing me before her sister coz the sister attitude suddenly changed towards me but she denied it. I left for work and things went from bad to worse. I could have an emergency to put a cal across to her on WhatsApp but she wouldn't be online the very minute I need her online so I would resort to calling my relative or her siblings who are online to do voice call to her line. One of those days, she (my wife) called me with a nice phone coz complained her phone was acting up. On another occasion I called the line and her sisters hubby picked and gave me the warning of my life via WhatsApp msg that I should never call the line again that it's inconveniencing. I thought to myself, even if it was bad, should that be the way to approach things?I figured he prolly did that coz of what my wife has been saying... I forgot to add that my wife has been staying with her sister since the Advent of COVID19 on grounds that she is lonely and wants someone help her out take care of my daughter. I wasn't pleased but I agreed. Now, I made some investment that almost went South over 2mill to get two cars, of which one is for bolt and the other for sale. After the purchase, alot went bad in the cars ...I had to spend alot to fix and move them to calabar. The cash was even loan ooo. I was hoping after sales of the cars and ubber I should be able to make some profit. My wife started acting up amidst the problem. Asked I step up her stipend which I did (>10%) increment. Gbam I was told the ubber guy was involved in accident just few days ago. As if that wasn't enough, I started nagging is should get her a new phone. I drew her attention to the cars issues, the loan etc but my wife got very insensitive that she said slot of things that i cried on ship. We madeup and continued. The last time she told me that her relationship with her ex was far better than this Marriage. I was hurt to my soul that I told her let's go separate ways. Her sister even had the effrontery to call my kid sis and narrated all my wife has been telling her how stingy I am and her sister eating crumbs in my house, that's how I got to know the woman I married has been bad mouthing me to her family. I ordered her leave her sister place. Up untill today she wouldn't want to leave coz according to her she will be depressed back home and no one would be around to help out with my daughter while she goes to work. I've been trying to save money to go to uk to do officers course as oow which would cost about 8m, coz I am a rating. I hold diploma, bsc, msc and was once admitted for PhD but I quit coz of lack of funds. So I resorted to keeping the job reserved for unskilled labor because there are no jobs in nja. That how I found myself in the job I am now. I am distraught. My wife talks back at me, hang up on me, very heady, selfish, abuses no be here...I. Afraid I'm beginning to hate her. Has very bad sense of entitlement, even her pgd I literally forced her complete

I am writing this with tears onboard. For the first time in my marriage I want to quit.

Will be back with more details and screen shots

PoliticsSAILORS, The Heroes The World Never Spoke About by koife(op): 9:11am On Apr 12, 2020
While the world is on standstill/ lock down, they keep the globe supply chain going, pick and deliver supplies ( Energy, hospital supplies, essential commodities ecetera) to and from different part of the world and sail off into the dark night while you sleep.

They make this unavoided sacrifice and no one even care to notice. They face most life threatening sea condition just so you stay well and alive amidst even visit COVID-19 hot spot if need be. Thousand of sailors out there do not have means of going back to their home countries and join with their families in these trying times. They navigate the world's oceans and be for themselves best partners, doctors, cooks,fire fighters,father's and confidant.
Lest I forget, these are people's brothers, fathers, uncles, husbands, nephews and Yes, they accept the peculiarities of the times we are in and chose to serve behind the scenes, where the curtains and light and all the glitz are out.
Sad they forget about them, while they make the unheard and untold sacrifices.
God bless all sailors worldwide who are at sea doing their bit to keep our earth alive!!

RomanceHelp! My Wife Is Driving Me Nuts by koife(op): 1:51pm On Feb 25, 2020
Hello fam, I'm not used to writing about my personal life. I try as much as I can to keep it off social media. On this very instance I'm tired and I desperately need honest advise, I'm also ready for insult.
I met my wife and we got married less than two years after our meeting.
I must say my wife is a quiet and slow person by nature and very churchy. I won't forget to add that since I met her I've had many blessings come my way. We are blessed with a 6 month old daughter.

My main issue with my wife is that she sees home upkeep as my total responsibility, yes, I do it but she hardly contribute anything and any time I'm coonstrained fin. She would say all manner of things. My wife isn't that a smart person, she would wait for you to give her direction in the simplest of things and shys away from taking charge and ownership.

I got a 6 digit job few days after introducing as her my fiancee to my parent and I'm often at sea for three more than 6 months. I've observed my wife isn't prudent with money no matter how much passes through her hands. At some point I'll get her attention how much she has spent without knowing and then she would go " wow, I didn't know it was that much" after doing some addition.
She works with insurance firm and her pay is within 60k (Max)/monthly...with that, she still get home support from me and my sister who is in USA. Recently I gave her her usual home support money and my sis did too....her allowance and commission came too. My wife had over 95k total in less than two weeks.

I was surprised barely a week and, I asked my wife support fix the car I left with her at home with just 5k since and i was yet to be paid salary. Note, I bought this car to ease her movement at her instance oo, she suggested the car is idle and we should get someone do bolt( taxify) just to get us additional cash.I got the driver do agreement with my lawyer via my coy and travelled shortly, the car alternator shut down and wouldn't charge, it was at that instance I asked her help out and she said she had no money on her and that she was barely surviving. I was shocked and Drew her attention to how much had gone through her hands in less than two weeks. Don't get me wrong, it might not be much to some peoples financial cash flow but we are Young family and less than two years in marriage. My wife believes once money comes, it's time to solve all her outstanding problem and ive told her she needs to prioritize.

Recently when I got to nja I left 600k in her account and told her we shouldn't touch it in case of family emergency but I noticed each time we have little need at home she would pressure me go get the cash. Some how we kept touching the money till it got to 300k and I travelled again.
I've tried my best to groom her and get her financial planning life better but she would not accept she has issue. I'm considering getting her family and mine involved but I dear it would out her in bad light before my family ( trying to protect her), I I decided to bring it here since it's faceless forum for candid advise

Need I also add that I can say one thing give times to my wife and she still gets it mixed up. I've asked her to read book and expand her intellectual capacity. It was just two weeks ago I forced her go defend her post graduate project after many years of abandonement....we quarreled. I later helped her arrange the work and pacify her supervisor allows her defend without paying school fees before I left.
Pls is my wife just dull or does it have to d with her character with life and money? Pls advise me coz I'm getting sick, really sick already. I'm typing this onboard on my way to Japan. I can't even concentrate

Redberyl:
Good day oga koife. I understand what you are going through because my husband does exactly the job you do under NSML. He is usually gone for 6 months or more at times. Despite that, we have figured out a way to keep our marriage drama free and interesting.

From your chats, you sounded quite harsh talking to her. I know it can be annoying when sjhe isn't reachable because I know your job is run on shifts so you can only be free for a specific period of time to chat her.Also the time zone difference doesn't help sometimes. What you should do as a loving husband is tell her your work schedule everytime so you guys can set out time to chat.

When I started dating my husband, he was always updating me of his break times and when he would end his work shift and the time zone difference for anywhere he is in the world . That way I already know that by so so time, I need to be free to talk to him. In most places like Asia, I have to set alarm to wake up at night(then it's morning there and he is almost getting ready for work), so I can be able to talk to him a bit. It messes up with my sleep pattern, but it's the sacrifice we vowed to make right from when we started dating to keep our marriage going strong.

It's not an issue of quarel, you need to make her crave for your conversations.Your tone alone is enough to make her detest talking to you. As a sailor it's so easy to have a strained marriage cos of the distance and absence for months. You need to talk to her, pet her and let her know that you love her and would like to hear from her daily.

I jokingly tell my husband that he is a lot more romantic when he is at work, than when he comes home . He finds a way to ask about my day, how am faring, organize surprises for me. We talk about everything, I mean everything. It's lonely at sea, so it's best you make your wife your best friend.

Draw her closer especially as she is pregnant. It's not easy dealing with all she is going through now (trust me, I know), especially without her man at home. This isn't the time to quarell over how u can't reach her. U need to toast her all over again,show her love, care and attention.

Being a sailors wife isn't easy. The fact is most women are wired to be faithful no matter what, while some can be pushed into the arms of another man because of lack of communication and friendship in their marriage. While you are at sea, don't slack o.. Chase your wife, pamper her and try to be a part of her life. It's not all about placing her on salary. You need to be her best friend, else your marriage may start to have issues because of this lack of communication.

My husband told me of a philippino man that tried committing suicide by jumping into the sea because someone sent him picture of his wife kissing another man at a coffee spot in Phillipine. So, except you don't love her o, else anything that happens like that will mess with your head at work which you don't need.

My husband talks to me a lot about how things are run on board, you need to be happy emotionally to excel at work, a little mistake or oversight may cost you your job which won't be good.

So Oga, find a way to draw your wife close.
Send her pictures.. My husband sends me pictures of himself a lot and I do same. He asks about my day even before it starts, we talk about future plans, gossip about celebs and stuffs, most times we talk into late at night. I have to drive him to go sleep because of work the next day. Most times his colleagues even tease him saying "you sure say na your wife you dey chat like this so".



Forget those girls chatting you, they have nothing to offer. Focus on your wife and marriage, those girjs are just after your money.Then it's your wife that would even be leaving you romantic messages before you get to your cabin after the close of your shift. All the best!
im with NSML too. Yes it do most of the stuff u wrote above sbout work schedule n tome zone diff. Nice meeting my colleagues wife
