Imogenn: It is expected she feels that way and you can't blame her. With what you wrote, you are not respecting boundaries and seems you are acting like " Madam wife, I knew him before you and we are close friends so deal with it" attitude. She has every reason to be possessive, he is her husband he belongs to her. You said he is just like a brother, snap out of it my sister. He is not your brother and don't deceive yourself. You sound like you have every right to have and keep another woman's husband as a close friend and his wife has no right to feel bad or complain. Why not make the wife your friend. Even if you guys were friends before he got married, he is married now and you should respect boundaries. My question: Are you married.? Will you be comfortable knowing your husband has a "close" female friend that is not his blood relative and he properly spends a lot of time with her or share a lot with her? No woman will be comfortable with that. Strengthen other relationships you have and leave this one alone. No come the cause trouble for people marriage abeg. |
Family / Re: As A Husband, How Would This Statement Make You Feel? by Massey27: 2:30pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
OP I think it's a positive statement. It tells she loves you and not the material things you have. In as much as so many are saying love is a scam, I still believe they are people who love deep and genuinely. So don't fret. 1 Like |
Family / Re: Should I Tell My Mum About My New House? by Massey27: 2:17pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
I really don't understand why your siblings will be that angry at you for not telling about your project and even refused visiting. And I still don't understand why they would want to be informed on everything you are doing in your home. Neither do I understand why you are acting secretive. Your story does not really add up . I feel it's not a big deal telling them but if you don't want them to know then something is really up and you are not opening up here. Because acting that way just because your sister did not inform you about the house she is building is weird to me. Well just like someone said above, it depends on how you are closely knit and how you tell each other things. You are an adult OP with a family of your own. As long as your husband is aware of what you are doing that's all that matters. If you are informing your siblings it's just because you want to. Not because you have to. 4 Likes |

GHoJes: Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it. You know when you find yourself in this kind of situation, you become an FBI agent. The three kids she had where taken by the man she had them for. They were not legally married. She had them for same man. The eldest being nine and the youngest five. |

Update on this. I opened up the discussion again today after morning devotion and I had to show him the post and suggestions. After a long discussion which I must say helped in addressing our fears and pain, we concluded on the following; 1. He will make contact and get to meet the child for the first time and discuss a paternity test with the mum. ( The call was put through around 9am today to her and the conversation was not pleasant. She insult am tight; Oh boy I hear insult this morning I fear. Hubby too was insulting her and they were just insulting each other She told him that he is a joke for asking after a son he has refused to see since he was born. She told him never to call her number again. Hubby too said very nasty words to her. The insults from both side Sha ugly. She told him to do the needful if he wants to see the son and ended the call) Me I just siddon the hear from speaker and I no talk Sha. I don't know what doing the needful means Sha. That one no be my wahala again. Plan B after the unpleasant conversation, is for him to have a face to face meeting with her. Since we don't stay in same town again, it will be when he is chanced to visit the other town where she is. Our sponsors during our wedding is going with him on that one. Oga don make the call too. And we don talk 2. After she calm body and them fit see talk, paternity test will be discussed, welfare of the child and the child Making visits to the family house will be discussed. We don't stay in same town anymore. My husband,s sister will be responsible for doing that. Going to take the child and returning the child to the mother after the visit. His sister is my bestie so I specifically choose her. I called to tell her today too, sounded not too excited about it but she will do it when it's time. 3. Talk to my father in law about what we have decided and involve him how it's going. We never call Baba yet. We will do that this evening. 4. Child is not coming to stay with us or live with us. I don't want that. And child is not visiting his daddy in my home for now. I don't know when that will be lifted Sha. I never ready to start seeing him in my house. The visits remain in the town we were before because that's our state and our extended families are all there , so is the baby mama. Child will get to know where he is from. 5. We discussed adoption and surrogacy again. The plan remains the same We are seeing our Parish Priest later to let him know our decision. He has been with us all the way. God bless you all for all your advice it helped us in reaching this. Happy prosperous new year everyone.❤️ 4 Likes |

CanadianNaija: The reason I am not planning on taking him away from the mother. She will love and take care of him better. Concerning his ex friend, his reason for telling the family was not because he loved me. I can't start writing all that. But I don't regret unfriending him and his wife. For my Oga(husband)Trust me, he is strong to still be alive after everything came out. I know what I am saying. He saw hell, and he is still paying for that six months. But I am not the one making him pay Sha. 1 Like |

cococandy: Thank you so much. We are already discussing surrogacy and have eve.n contacted some agencies. And the process will start next year hopefully. The reason I brought this here is to know the best way to get him involved in the boy's life if he is the father. And I no want carry load enter 2020. It's not a pleasant thing for me and even talking about it makes me angry. And the pain and hurt comes back at him. I never believed I can even bring it up and talk to him about the child. But just like they say, time heals. I know the emotional and psychological trauma I went through. And the anger still pops up once in a while. I talk about him the way I do cos it's natural and he has gone through a lot too. That does not make what he did right, but everyone deserves a second chance especially if they are working hard for it. I appreciate your advice. Thank you. Oh concerning a counsellor, we had a one month session with a marriage counselor. I was not meeting up cos of the nature of my job. That was in August this year. I guess we have to schedule another. Thanks allot. 2 Likes |

Brazenbabe: Thank you for the advice. If you read my earlier comment you will see that I don't blame his ex friend. Neither have I blamed the woman in question. I not vexing for the man o, but I don't want them as friends again. My vex na with my husband. Concerning my husband's family going round and taking the child, I am even the one talking about the child. His parents are still alive and his father has eight sons and a daughter. All are married. And my father in law called a family meeting with his brothers, uncles etc,to tell them and he said unless I give permission to bring in the child or have anything to do with the child, he forbids anyone to have anything to do with the lady and the child, now that he is alive and even when he is gone. He went ahead to place a curse on anyone that will do contrary. My father in law loves us his daughters in law and treats us nice. Just like my Mum in law. Concerning my husband going back to have other kids with her, I have nothing to say to this because I am not in control of a Man's actions. But I pray it doesn't happen Sha ... Because e go pain me pass this one . The issue here is hubby not wanting to accept this child and having anything to do with the child. And me, I no want future wahala of a child that bears a grudge. Thank you for all your input. You spoke well. 3 Likes |

heavenlychy: Thank you so much. I think using the word good makes him look like a saint. And I apologise for that. I would have contracted a deadly illness. I agree and i still have an unforgiveness in my heart towards him because of that. I keep going for test every month. Knowing the kind of life the lady in question lives and I was put at risk. I didn't stay because of the childlessness. I stayed because I found more than 80% of what I wanted in a man. And he is sorry, he has shown he is. I don't need a Prophet telling me. You won't understand what I made him go through because of his betrayal. And he actually went through alot. And the truth is even his family and people close to us were surprised he did what he did. He is not known with that. In as much as he betrayed me , I don't want the iniquity of the sin committed to linger. He should do right by his child. It hurts me talking about it and wanting him involved in the child's life but I no want old age wahala from any pickin that will raise up one day and start causing problems for me because he was neglected. Thank you again for your advice. 10 Likes 1 Share |

oyoolima: Thank you. I admit I was angry at my family for hiding it from me and I actually felt betrayed. But I have forgiven them. For his ex friend, we later discovered so many negative things he was doing behind hubby's back. when he discovered I have found out, he actually said he would have loved to see me and see the pain and hurt on my face. He was not who we thought him to be. It's not just about him telling my family, he went all out to say despicable things about hubby to our greatest benefactor that we also got to know which were all lies. And we loved them like family and treated them as such. The wife who was also my friend called me when she knew I have finally found out and told me that at least she is not the only one in this. That finally I have joined the club of wives with cheating husband. And she believes now I will agree with her that every man cheats and not just some like I used to argue. So I didn't want to have such friends around me again. 5 Likes |

ZIMDRILL: I don't have plans of hubby and I taking the child. I only want him to do good by his son if the baby is truly his. Number 4 which is the baby mama drama is what I am not ready for. And the lady going all out to change her name's on Facebook and adding hubby's name even changing her relationship status to recently married to husband makes me certain she will cause a lot of drama. She has been called by my brother in law with hubby's directive to take down his/ their family name because she is not a wife and has never been, but she has not done that. |

Family / How Do I Love The Child As Mine by Massey27: 5:46pm On Dec 25, 2019 |
Hello Nairalanders. I have been following the forum and have seen how problems are shared. I need advice for this and please from matured married people on this forum. This will be lengthy but please read to the end. I am married for ten years now going to eleven and I will say all this year's, Hubby has been my best friend and closest ally. We got married when we were in the University and I would say it has been beautiful . Of course we have had the normal quarrels in our relationship. But it has never gotten out of hand. We settle it just the two of us without family interference. My husband is very supportive and very loving and I have been told by different people that I am lucky to have a husband like him and I totally agree with them. Fast forward to years after our marriage, I suffered three miscarriages which the last one was bad. And my husband has been supportive all the way. Even though I have not been able to carry all pregnancy full term and we don't have children of our own I have never had course to doubt his love for me. Two years back, I started getting text messages and strange calls form unknown numbers telling me my husband was seeing another lady. I didn't allow that bother me because I never believed them until his close friend went and informed my family about it. My family kept it a secret from me and they didn't let my husband know. But they carried out their investigations and it happened to be true. Still no of them told me. They were afraid of what that kind of revelation would cause to our marriage. I also noticed that my husband was no longer the happy and lively man he used to be. He was getting lean and older than his age of 40. He was looking drained. He still showed love and affection but I knew he was not happy. And if I ask, he keeps saying he is going through a process and it's nothing. But it wasn't long I got to know, not from my family but from a sister to that same friend of his. I never for once saw anything incriminating in his phone. So I decided to ask him. Coupled with all the strange messages and calls i was getting and that he was aware of. I was given the name and every detail of the girl from his friend sister. So I confronted him with that. He broke down and admitted to it and also told me he didn't like what he was doing and wanted to stop but the girl keeps telling him she will come to the house and make sure I get to know if he stops picking her calls and seeing her. So he was between the red blue sea and the devil. I was devastated because I love and trust him with all I have. He knelt down and wept and he was begging me not to leave him but help him. He explained that was the reason for his sadness and he really regrets everything and didn't know what he started the affair. The girl in question was introduced to him by that same friend that went and told my family about his affair. Even at that point , my family never told me anything. I left the house with some of my things because the wouldn't let me take everything, with pain and went to my family house. After telling my mom and elder brothers, I was advised to go back to my house and settle with him. That he is a good man that made a mistake. My elder brothers took me back to his own family house and met with my father in law and all that was settled. The relationship with the lady ended for it was already shaky at that time. And she called him again when he was trying to settle his home. Telling him if she doesn't see him she is coming to his house because he has been avoiding her. His phone was on speaker and I heard it myself. So he told her she is free to come because his worst fear has happened. That she has no hold over him again and that his wife knows everything now. She immediately ended the call. I went back home and he has been remorseful and doing everything to make me happy again and to show me how sorry he is. Early this year, same lady sent him a text to tell him that, when he ended the relationship with her, she was already pregnant for him and she has put to bed a baby boy. And the child is his. This was March this year. Another drama started. According to her, she had the baby last year 2018 November and the child is a year now. Her affair with my husband lasted for six months and ended early 2018. My husband has not seen the child except the picture she posted on Facebook of her and the baby and she has gone ahead to change her profile on Facebook bearing the name of my husband. Since the news of her having a child for him came, I have been really really sad and hubby has been trying all he can to salvage the situation but I am still not happy. He has not contacted her and has refused picking her calls or going to see the child and the child by calculating when she said she had him, is a year already. Now my pan is I have tried to accept this and has even told hubby to go see the child and take responsibility. But he said he is not ready. Deep down inside me, I don't think I can love this child as my own. Am I a devil for feeling this way? And i have alot of trust issue going on now in as much as hubby makes sure I am in the know of everything. He has refused to see the child and I don't want the child growing up to feel his father is irresponsible. How do hubby i get to know this child more and take care of his needs without having the mother come too close to my home? The lady in question already has three kids for another man who didn't marry her before hubby met her. But hubby didn't know even when he was with her. He got to know after the whole affair ended. Although she is more younger than hubby and I. She is In her late twenties. I am 36 and hubby is 40. Please your advice are welcome. Married.and matured people here, I will be following. Thank you all for your patience in reading this. 1 Like |
