Truly single parenthood is no joke in this country especially around childcare .... hopefully it all gets resolve. Each person making amends. Its always best when both parties work together in many areas

Exactly, those together are still struggling with childcare, bills and breaking even and even having building asset portfolio in a system that is designed for you to be reliant on them. Wish the wife was on NL reading all this sha

@lightest listen up if you have ears.

Most people typing up and down here know how they manage their homes, some men even know how they prostrate to their wives in the middle of the night when no one is there to make things work. So far there isn't any case of domestic violence here, you have to go back home and sort issues out with your wife for the sake of your kids. You are over 40 years old and i believe you should be wiser to know that you don't fully depend on the advise you seek from social media platforms. Refuse to be a victim of the system. You and your wife have come into a system and you need to be strong to pull through the system. Yourself and 3 members of your family must have sacrificed at least £10K to come on this Tier 2 with renewal fees coming up soon and i believe this should be your focus at the moment not you leaving home. The tier 2 system is not an easy one. You both literally work for the system for the said 5 years with huge financial sacrifice. Your MRS is probably tired from work as a nurse and needs your support but unfortunately maybe you are adding your drama as the Baale of Norwich as per your previous post. You probably are not looking to develop yourself either. Additionally, you might no longer appear attractive to your wife, you need to look to improve in all ways and set the example. Many things might be involved for her to lose interest in you. Talk things with her and you would find an answer. Legal fees don't come cheap. I would advise you don't even think of that route.


those kinds of men will prostrate to their wives in the middle of the night, to make the marriage work.
they will come to nairaland and and be telling other men to leave their house.all this while they have not even heard the other side of the story.
Swallow your Baale pride. Beg your wife, if you have to. Tell your mother (or her mother) to beg her too if necessary. Make your marriage work.... even if you manage to get your own visa independent of hers, you MUST contribute to the upkeep of those 2 children you have. And e no go be beans.

Uncle true talk seems you know them well oo, abeg help them settle it now and you maybe right as the wife stressing out with working with the NHS. Some hospitals ehn they are hell when it comes to their shift patterns.

This is why working together as a couple is essential if its too stressful, assist her with finding a new job and get out of the contract.

If the wife were on NL reading this, I can assure you, she will just be shaking her head. She will be disappointed, not in her husband @Lightest, but will be disappointed at how some men have jumped into a matter that they know not the other side.

You are right but hopefully she is able to pick out the positives. Also could be an insight that he won't necessarily suffer visa wise if that was her punishment for a his shortcomings.

May we never find ourselves in this type of situation

Thank u so much for the love.

the dialogue is going on and I hope it will come to good point.

U guys are really making me to man up.

thanks so much

That money that you want to use for a lawyer maybe both you and your wife should try going for therapy to help both of you communicate properly and find out what the problem is. You will be amazed at how much professional help will do for your marriage. Don’t knock it till you have tried it and your wife might even thank you for it later.

The Baale reference was a joke.

But seriously, beg her. If e bad, tell your mama. Tell her mama make she beg am. Her papa sef, if him dey alive tell am mek him beg her. to be divorcee for dis obodo iya charlie no be easy matter especially as 2 children follow dey di matter. its easier to beg and plead and resolve, than to hire lawyer.

1st lesson wey i learn for this country: The system supports:
1. Women & Children
2. Animals
3. Men

in that order.


if u pursue legal means, las las na u go wound.

I studied (2 post-graduate degrees) and lived there many years ago and had a house there at some point. It's a quintessential North East town with some parts socioeconomically deprived whist others are relatively middle-class. The university is great, albeit lowly ranked.

Yes Vetting and capturing is possible in some command if you’re able to persuade the officer in charge( meaning you will have to water the ground)

If you are a doctor then when you come in, get used to the work system and start doing plenty locum...that's the best way to augment your funds

For places to stay, try the Midlands...cities here are usually more diverse and are reasonably balanced in terms of jobs and family life

Bro you know that it doesn’t always work that way, sometimes the solution is to walk away and still raise the kids together without living together.

Marriage is not do or die affair, if you have tried all you can and it’s not working please walk away amicably for your own sanity.

You can not be in a loveless marriage and keep saying sorry just to keep it going no matter who is at fault here.

Good morning all,
I'm looking to get help before embarking on this UK journey.
I have a B.A in English, with a PGDE and TRCN inclusive. Before now, I was thinking of getting a Masters in Education in U.K..

I have been teaching as an English Teacher for some years now with different schools here in Nigeria. Upon checking list of work shortage in UK, found out that teaching English over there doesn't seem realistic or inclusive in the list

Now, I need help on other viable courses to go in for. ( I'm also presently learning Graphics- based on flair for design and in a bid to explore Tech- field)
