Good wives = they love their husbands
Bad mother = they hate/maltreat their children

undecided

Na question idey ask
Doesn't even include love or hate. Being a good or bad wife/mother doesn't automatically mean the person loves or hate husband/children.

Good wife - Does many of the things expected of a wife (by her husband or societal standards)

Bad wife - Doesn't do many of the things children (or the society) expects from a mother.

For example, you can claim to love your child, but if after they close from school, you put a tray on their head to go and hawk groundnut on the expressway, you are a bad mother.


Take this scenario that unfolded this year in the estate I live in.

Husband is the breadwinner. Husband loses his source of income while wife only has a petty shop just outside the estate. Wife is supportive of husband in his downtime. Takes charge of the home using her petty business, uses her finance to make him able to attend interviews, and uses her contacts to find him job opportunities, and ultimately lands him a job. Home was kept running smoothly without husband having to borrow from friends or family.

The truth was wife's business was not flourishing either during this downtime. Turns out wife, without the knowledge of the husband or anyone else, has been pimping out her 12 year old daughter to the Hausa men who do security for many of the houses in the estate. It was only exposed when she tried stopping after the husband was back on his feet.

In less than 3 sentences, do you consider her a good/bad wife/mother?

The number of unsuccessful attacks on the Crimean Bridge this year alone is mind boggling.


On a Ukrainian telegram channel, they said Ukraine has launched more than 350 attacks. Storm Shadow, Sea drones, even sabotage groups but all failed.
Wetin this bridge do Ukraine? They seem to hate this Crimean bridge than anything or anyone else.

When Ukraine partially and temporarily immobilized it through a terrorist attack of turning an innocent civilian into a suicide bomber, they seemed to celebrate it more than anything else since the SMO began. They even made a commemorative stamp.

At this point, I'm sure Ukraine will consider it a victory even if they lose all of Donbass but manage to destroy the Crimean bridge grin

Make me understand a good father and a non loving spouse in one person.
Yes. They are not mutually exclusive to each other.

People can be good fathers to their children and bad husbands to their wife. Growing up, I know plenty of good wives but bad mothers.

jify:
When we got married, we were sharing responsibilities and financial contribution like 60:40; I take the bulk because I earn more. The goal was that I would support until it gets to a point where he was earning more to take up more responsibility.

I am not the type that talks too much, but when he gets me angry, I would vomit words that is unpalatable as a result of piled up anger. When he starts with his arguments, most times I go silent. But he starts poking me to talk. In some cases, I tell him that if I open my mouth to talk, he would not like what would come out of it, but then he starts dragging me on the cloth, leg or anywhere he can grab me saying I must say what is on my mind, just so I would respond. Sometimes he starts to insult my parents, siblings, etc.


In May this year, he told me that because my brother told him 3 years ago, that he doesn’t know why I am still with him, that I should have left as I can take care of myself and don’t need him, therefore he would no longer contribute money for food.

Since that time I have been taking care of feeding. Before now I do part feeding, children’s school, children’s lesson, children transport to school, cleaner, hospital bills, etc. He takes care of rent and electricity. At some point, I was doing electricity and lawma but I had to stylishly push that to him.

I don’t have a problem if we share these things with mutual agreement, but each time we have an argument, he reneges and uses the kids to start punishing me, putting my job in jeopardy, insulting my parents as much as picking up the phone to insult my mother just to make me react, locks me outside when I tell him that the decision he took on something has caused an issue. These days I don’t express my feelings about anything, whether I like it or not, because if I say I am not happy with how things are, I would most likely get a call in the office and if I don’t respond because I know it is to harass me and mess up with my mental state, when I get back from work, the doors would be locked since he comes before me.

His family members have waded in, and he gives me like one month and we are back to square one. I am tired and frustrated. I told him all I wanted from him was peace of mind. My mother’s mantra raising us was if your husband does not do it, then you do it. Don’t wait for any man to do anything for you. As girls, we were not raised to be dependent. My mother hates it. So we don’t usually ask husbands for money, we expect that husbands would do what is right and if they don’t, we take it up and do it.

So I don’t wait for him to do anything, I do it or provide the money to do it, and I have told him I won’t enter into a joint savings with him where he has the full control. This year alone, I have been locked out of the house up to 6 times, if I save money with him, it means when he locks the door, I would be stranded.

Please how do I navigate this? When he locked me out of the house 3 years ago, I had to rent a place to stay. Mind you, the house we live in now, was the house I rented when I left because it was far better than our previous accommodation. For almost one year I was away with the children, he didn’t pay them any visits, didn’t ask to see them, occasionally he calls to talk to them, but he didn’t see them, and my kids were broken. They need that stability and I am so afraid of denying them that fatherly love (maybe because I lacked it in my childhood and it affected me badly). The only thing holding me here is my children. But God knows I am tired, frustrated, bitterness is growing in me at a rapid rate.
This is my own honest advice from my experience in marriage and the marriages of people around us.

First, Financial arrangements of a family are unique to that family. There shouldn't be any basis for comparison with others. Most probably, what you started with is most likely what your partner will expect to continue.

I understand that you acknowledged you can be verbally abusive. Please try as much as possible to control your tongue. Unless you both have agreed to go separate ways, hurtful words spoken will remain. I hate when spousal arguments turn physical, so make arrangements to go outside when he starts dragging you even if it's inside the compound until the matter subsides.

Parental and family abuse is where I draw the line. Personally, I wouldn't be with anyone who is disrespectful or abusive towards my family. It denotes a disrespectful and impulsive individual. That's not someone I want to be a partner with. I don't know the unpalatable words you say though, maybe you abuse his family too. In that case, it would be hard to advise. But does he actually picks up the phone and call your mother to actually abuse her on the phone? If so, unbelievable.

Why is your brother saying that to your husband? Your brother's advise should have been to you and not him. I believe he said that due to what you have told your family about him. When you report your spouse to your family, you might forgive and forget, but your family wouldn't.

Finance is what causes majority of the arguments in marriage. Have a talk on the current realities and have him talk about what he wants to do financially. You can find someone he respects to have him talk to him if you cannot reach an agreement on your own. But like I said, you already started on the wrong foot by showing you were capable. I'll be surprised if there is a way out for you.

About the phone call harassment in the office, put your phone on airplane mode or disable the sim. No calls, no problem. But I wonder how long you'll be able to keep up with it.

Maybe it's due to my own upbringing, but I believe your mum's mantra is a little bit wrong.
It should only be followed if there is a major factor that causes a change in circumstances, if not, it will encourage irresponsibility and laziness in men. Like for example, I take care of 100% in my household. The only month in my marriage that my wife took care of like half of the bills due to medical reasons, I noticed how complacent I was. Have his family speak to him again, get financial commitments and make sure you don't bail him out, except he lost his job, a major expense or health reasons. You must also show strength in your resolve. For example, if he says he will pay the children school fees, have the children sit at home with him on the first day of resumption if the fees have not been paid by then. I hope you have neighbors who will ask him why his children have not resumed yet.

I do not understand this husband locking wives out of a thing. I never saw something like this growing up but I can't believe how common it is since I became an adult. It shows a lack of care about the safety of your spouse. This is why I strongly dislike impulsive people. If anything were to happen to you out in the cold, does he know he will take the blame for it. If such were to happen to my daughter, I'm certain it will be the last time it ever happens.

What's up with the kursk invasion. I guess it's no longer funny for Ukrainian soldiers there anymore. I can't see pro westerners mentioning anything about kursk anymore.
It was doomed when Russia didn't draw their forces out of the Donbass region. Russia MOD claimed a few days ago that over 21,000 Ukrainians were reunited with their favorite Bandera in Kursk.

Overall, it was to Russia's favor.

✓ Ukraine withdrew some of their best troops to Kursk allowing Russia to blitz through the Eastern front.

✓ Negotiations are now totally off.

✓ The Ukrainian incursion allowed Russia to use its conscripts. These young conscripts are now battle-tested and more experienced for future conflicts.

By bombing more civilians as usual. Abi e wan pass that one?

Maybe if like Hamas and Hezbollah, they had focused on military targets and not just bomb civilians to rack up numbers, I'm sure they'll probably have achieved their objectives both in Gaza and Lebanon.

But no, bomb innocent civilians while their opponent's military capabilities remain intact and strong enough to inflict multiple casualties such as these. Now like someone here said, these soldiers have had their last supper grin.

Lots and lots of spies for Israel, mostly Syrians and Lebanese were captured today by the Lebanese Army. Too bad they were not captured by Hezbollah. Btw, reports are that they are currently undergoing a lot of diabolical things.

Somehow US managed to pressure the LAF to release an Israeli spy who entered under a fake US passport and posed as a reporter. I wish Hezbollah get their hands on the rest though.

IDF: Drone Footage: Hezbollah Terrorist Commander and Cells Eliminated

Since the beginning of the limited, localized, targeted raids based on precise intelligence in Lebanon, troops from the 36th's Division Unit 636 that specialize in drones strikes have eliminated several Hezbollah terrorist cells and destroyed terrorist infrastructure.

The unit's activities have included guiding drones to eliminate armed Hezbollah terrorists, in coordination with the brigade’s fire control centers.

Attached is drone footage of the elimination of a company commander in the Hezbollah terrorist organization by the Golani Brigade’s Fire Control Center: https:///3U08l8N

Attached is drone footage of the elimination of three armed terrorists by the 282nd Brigade’s Fire Control Center: https:///3Y677dw

Attached are photos of the soldiers of Unit 636 directing the drones that eliminated the terrorists in southern Lebanon: https://IDFANC.activetrail.biz/ANC453984
Did you bother to verify whatever it is you wrote here or you just copied and pasted propaganda as usual?

Did you even bother to click or check the link?
Where is the drone footage?

The only so-called drone footage that was released today of the so-called unit 636 shows the drone trailing "a single Hezbollah operative" not a commander or cells as you claimed. Even in that footage, there is no definite drone hit on anyone because the operative managed to disappear into the thick woods twice and the drone strikes were "blind strikes" as the drone operator cannot see anything in those woods.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-releases-footage-of-drone-strikes-on-hezbollah-operatives-in-south-lebanon/

So I'm asking, where is your footage that killed an Hezbollah commander?

Kyiv announced its plans to recruit a “Ukrainian Legion” in July, hoping to convince thousands of men who have fled the country to avoid the war, in particular to Poland and Germany.
Hahaha. They'll start dragging Ukrainians off Polish streets very soon. Military volunteers would not have ran before.

Anyway, there are about 6 million Ukrainians in Poland. I expect at least about 20% of them to be men. More than enough fodder for fighting someone else's war.

I expect the smart ones to be on the move to other countries from Poland.
