RomanceRe: My Fiancee Is Very Aggressive And Rude by ojuolu(m): 3:31pm On Mar 08, 2016
Inspinia:
I no longer know what to do. We have been together for 8 months and I want to marry her quickly. I have my reasons. She has been my childhood crush for years and now that she gave me a chance I don't want it to slip away. Many guys flock around her so before one asks her to marry him I had to do it first. And she is very responsible and definitely not a fling.

But I have problems with her aggression. A little thing she picks an issue with it and starts dishing out hurtful words to me. I always try to apologise and make her happy even when she is wrong not me just so she will be calm. It was working before now it no longer works. Whenever I try to make her happy she gets more angry and tell me I'm trying to patronise her. If I take her out on shopping she will be so angry that I'm trying to buy her with money that I don't love her.

My fellow brothers, what do I do? There was a day I had to invite my sister to come talk to her as woman to woman talk this lady pulled the belt on her jeans and began to assault my sister I'm grateful to God that I was there even my left eye is still bruised wth the way she hit me too that day. And the worst of it all is everytime she gets more angry and more violent.

I threatened to call off the wedding thinking it will make her rethink but it didn't instead she got angry that day and pushed me against the wall. God saved me beause if there was knife or bottle around that day with the way she was angry sh could have used any on me.

Please I need assistance from matured minds. I love her so much that I don't want to call off the wedding I want her to be wife but her aggression is too much. She get angry easily. She outrightly told me no sex till marriage and I can't do anything about because she seems stronger than I am (Yes she works out alot. Perhaps because she is a model or so i don't know)

I need help.
Op you really need help. You are seeing these now and you still want to go ahead and marry her? because she is your childhood crush? Haba, why do people like committing suicide like this op gan?
The standard of Venus and Mars relationships will not change no matter what, the rule of engagement is simple...Husbands, LOVE your wives... Wives SUBMIT to your Husbands. Obviously you are CRUSHING and not loving...and she is SURMOUNTING and not submitting too. Do we have to go further to explain that the aqua on which this ship is sailing is shallow and the ship is bound to run aground soonest?
FamilyRe: As A Husband, Or Wife, Who Will You Make Your Next Of Kin by ojuolu(m): 9:33am On Mar 08, 2016
Johnrake69:
My brother just make a will. Cos your next of kin cant have access to your estate without a will or letter of administration from the probate office. And going through probate means the government will own a significant portion of your estate And not to talk of the stress your family will go through.
Ok. I really don't have the luxury of a will for now. All investments are jointly own. Properties are in both names. But i think i will go will the advice soonest. I really don't want them to have any issue while i am gone.

onoslove:
Was listening to this programme on air on Saturday. And so many callers called in naming who their next of kin will be with reasons .And there was this hated argument in the circle where I was on who to make your next of kin. This is a very good topical issue, and I decided to bring it to Nairaland, so that we can debate and also get to learn who our next of kin should be with very valid reasons. Will appreciate if the Mod can push it to front page so that this topic can get a wide view.
My wife is my next of kin.
And our first son is her next of kin.
We are both his legal guardian.
The reason behind this arrangement is this. I am a man, statistics have it that our life expectancy is shorter compared to that of the opposite sex. My thinking is that if i pass on at anytime, she would be able to take care of the home. If we both pass on Our son will be the next of Kin by default because the direct next of kin for me is no more. If she pass on, my son is her next of kin and i am still the legal guardian. In any case, my prayer is to go before her, albeit in old age, fully ripe... grin.
So there is no controversy. I love her and i believe she will be responsible enough to take care of things after me. She also love her kids so much that i know she will protect them with the last drop of her blood.
My position may look somehow, but that is the structure that i want and is now in place.

Nairalanders help me praise this awesome God for his mercy towards me!

yesterday...been Saturday,I planned to travel to anambra state university igbariam! to know how everything is going on there concerning jamb!... and to know how much it will cost me when I finally will be going there on 11th to sit for my jamb!....


I boarded a bus that morning by 11am....d bus zoomed off by 11:15...buh as we were moving,the driver was driving with reckless abandon!...he almost hit a car twice!...and after shouting at him,he cooled down then after some minutes,he starts his reckless driving!....I was very much afraid,so I decided to step down!....buh d conductor refused to refund my money,so this discouraged others that are willing to step down from stepping down!...
Hi Refiner, appreciate God. You still have His Spirit and Love so much alive in you. God will continue to keep you and the enemies will continue to miss the target over your life. Amen.


when I came down,I stood by d roadside...was difficult to get another bus cos most of d buses that passed bye was filled up!....but I patiently waited for about 30 minutes!....then finally I saw a bus DAT was half filled and boarded it and glory be to God he was an aged man and he drives slowly!...at least my heart was finally at peace!


then on our way....u can't believe wat I saw!..I saw the bus I boarded at first been involved in an accident with a golf!...it was really an eye sore!...most of the passengers there were injured...I was really shocked!...cries and shouts of pain....I felt pity and cried!....I was unable to take picture cos I did not have the heart!...in fact I was seriously weak!....buh all the same I thank God for no life was lost... wishing them a safe recovery!!!what if I was involved,I might miss this year's jamb!.....


lesson learnt!:please do step down when you notice you just boarded a reckless driver's bus!....LIFE IS PRECIOUS!!!

yemi16:
Ojolu...thanks...i appreciate!!...and to be more specific...i stay in Ibadan.. huh huh
You are welcome my friend. Marriage is a school you won't graduate from unless you choose to divorce (God forbid) or through death. Hence you get the certificate as you matriculate. And no Marriage is perfect. We keep learning as we grow. There is no "one medicine cure all" in marriage because different strokes for different folks. As early as now, please have your value system set straight, well cut out and know what you want/ stand for in your relationship with your spouse and family. The two sides of the divide are equally very important to a man existence. I share a lot with my wife but only because i know her value system. A lot does not mean everything but like 85% of decisions are jointly taken. She know how my value system work and this really help in taking decisions most time. My family are very dear to me and i come in to help when and where required when i can. We have been through a lot together and i share the story with my wife who has never objected to such gestures.
Let your wife know this is your stand and nothing will change it. Also continue to pray for her. David would have killed Nabal in 1 Sam 25 if not for a wise spouse in Abigeal who was able to stand in the gap for him. Two have become one, God will continue to strengthen you even as you do the right thing always.
And i am ibadan based too but i work in abj. grin grin grin
FamilyRe: Help!!..did I Marry The Wrong Lady? by ojuolu(m): 10:39am On Feb 18, 2016
ammyluv2002:
Yemi16, i get your point. I know, we(women) can be annoying sometimes. I'm not in support of the way she goes about it, she shouldn't stop you from helping your blood, but there are few things ,i would want you to know;

1) The first five years of marriage is usually very difficult. This period, a lot of things happen and if you guys aren't careful, those stuffs can lead to divorce.

2) I think, you guys lack serious communication. why would you decide to give out those old electronics to your brother without communicating with your wife? I mean, who wouldn't panic? if you had communicated with her then this wouldn't have happened. In marriage, decision taking should come from both parties. don't play "the man" card in your home. Seriously, i think you owe her an apology for not telling her of your plans. Its a simple logic, it should have been like this "Dear, since we are moving, i think it would make sense if we get new set of electronics so i can give the old ones to bros" This is understandable! No woman will say no to this, we love new things. grin grin

In order for peace to reign let her know, you re sorry! then make it clear that you will continue to help your brother till he gets a job. She's your wife and i think, you owe her that explanation. Don't assume she understands, carry her along. Act like you really need her opinion.
Did you read the write up. " just last few days ago....we were relocating to a new area within town and i called my brother to pick up a few stuffs (electronics, household items) i know i wouldn't or i planned replacing with a new one......He came and picked them up as i had informed him....After he left, my wife let hell loose....she went completely mad and we had a big quarrel...she even called my brother to return a few stuffs he took even when i already bought the replacements... please note that this is not the first time. " each time my brother comes to me for help....and i send him money, my wife complains that i lavish my money on my brother...that he should go and get a job and not rely on me always...we would quarrel seriously for days/weeks before time eventually settles things..." OP, please do not apologies like i said earlier. you are doing the right thing. Be careful though. I don't want Ibadan lawyer story on any nLder oh. It is well.
FamilyRe: Help!!..did I Marry The Wrong Lady? by ojuolu(m): 10:22am On Feb 18, 2016
OP, I was in a relationship in the past before and we were planning to get married. The lady in question asked for my statement of accounts 3 months before wedding and also investment documents. I thought she was trying to see how financially secure we will be until she started asking questions such as:
Why are you giving your mum so much money?
What is the 5k monthly to your brother account for?
Why do you give your friend money every other month?
Innocently, i answered because i thought she should know. Her response was shocking. She told i have to stop it now before we get married so that they will not think her coming in into my life and home was the reason why these giving stopped. I was so disturbed and i really prayed because i loved her and i was confused. Eventually we still broke up over money issue before the wedding and i believed it was an answer to a prayer. I have since married and moved on.
Signs such as these are never to be ignored. You are already married now. Just be careful of how you handle this situation. I have read some wonderful pieces of advice here but please think of what is best for you. In whatever decision you take, never stopped helping your family members. Family is family. Some situation will warrant that you go back to these people and if you allow your wife to take you too far away from them, the journey will seem very long when you need to reach out to them. Time, like tide, changes. My prayer is that good times will outweigh the bad ones in our lives.
Do not apologies for doing the right thing in this regard.

Op, we are all like sharks, circling the water, looking for traces of blood. Do not let emotions and sentiment becloud your reasoning. Look at the present job and the new offer critically. It is not about pay packets alone, the condition of service, the welfare, the growth potentials etc are parameters that should help you reach an informed decision. It is neither too early nor too late to change jobs. Just look before you leap. If the pasture is greener on the other side without traps and servitude attached, Have an honest one on one with your boss, if moving on is better for you, please do. But ensure the new offer letter is with you already before resigning.
Best of luck.

Time To Pick Between Goverment Job And Firm

Nairalanda your advice is highly require in my case. I am currently working with a consulting firm here in Lagos, with no leave, no allowance but the salary make sense. Late last year I just decided I need to leave the place because I see no future there, I began to attend interview for other job, also told a family friend that is a politician that I need job. Last week Sunday the family friend called that she has secured employment for me with a state government in* (One of North central state)
Immediate I began to make enquiry about the salary, from my enquiry I was made to understand is around 34k when I am currently earning multiples of that. My parents are advising me to take up the offer and resigned in my place of work, please Nairalanda should I? I was called today to come and take appointment letter on Monday.
Guy, the decision is purely yours. You need to have dreams of where you want to be, the you that you want to see in the next 5, 10,20, and 30 years. That should form an important part of the parameters on which you will base your decision.
I was in the state civil service as a graduate before i left for my present job in 2008 and i am not looking back although it is tasking, demanding, stressful but also rewarding. Unless it is a federal government parastatal or agency (not ministry), i don't see any government job worth gunning for, unless you are very lazy or you need time for other things such as additional qualification and family...etc

What does she normally do between 4am and 8am?
Please look at the answers to these questions then you will know if it is psychological or not. I do not leave in Lagos, I wake up 4am daily even though i don't have to leave the house for work until 7.15am. I don't have to do anything at all than observe my quiet time, bath, dress up and set out. The difference is that my flat mate wont even know in his room until i am ready to go around 7.15am.
so let have answers to the questions and mind you, 4am is not too early to wake up depending on when you go to bed and your personality / and schedule.
