No comment to make on the current trending topic?

None o. I think marriage as an institution has outlived its usefulness anyway, so I can only wish both parties in the matter the best in sorting out their issue. Having said that, if my wife woke up in the morning and decided that she no do again, I certainly wouldn't beg or try to change her mind. Women generally know what they want and put their children first, so if woman decides she doesn't want you - and more importantly your presence to fund her children - then her mind's made up.

As someone else rightly pointed out, if she's holding out the threat of not renewing visas, return to Nigeria or a move to anywhere else in the whole wide world is not a death sentence.

I would definitely do what your wife did if I had a financially irresponsible spouse that would come and mess things up for me by not meeting up with bill payments or messing up my credit score if we were to have a joint account. Some people are very bad with money management.
Disclaimer: I am not saying you’re financially irresponsible.

Men, only if u guys know what I do to make my wife happy ehn. But its not my case to say as it will look like I am praising myself.

But my question is what would make a woman bring a man to UK and refuse to put her name on the bills, house rent, electricity, water and Co only for her to say I should be paying into her acct even when I pointed it out to her that in case of visa renewed in the nearest future?.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate this. Now I have more accommodation options.

Sunderland and Newcastle are virtually the same city, very possible to live in one and work/study in the other. I took a course in Northumbria Uni once and I think a couple of my coursemates used to come from Sunderland.
In London, some boroughs are farther apart from each other than those two ciities are.

what will make a woman open an account for her children without her husband knowing when she knows I can contribute to it without any argument?

So many hiding thing going on that when talked about resulted into argument.

Anyway, I really appreciate the love on this forum as I have learnt a lot from everybody including the person that wants to hear from my wife side of the story.

if I say, I have being stylishly enslave I won't be wrong with some things I have seen. But I have open up a conversation channel and hope to resolve this as quickly as possible and I will be coming back with resolution and proposal of having a better home in the nearest future.

Once again, God bless u all for ur wonderful contributions.
these are the u told stories abroad.the real hustle.my take.ur Mrs might be on some sort of benefit.Or might have been dealt the wrong card in the past

You can see how some people are trying so so hard to come up with made-up excuses to justify why the wife kicked him out?

They say maybe....

He is overweight and not attractive to the wife again, he is not developing himself..

She worked sooooo hard to bring her husband here.

She is doing 12hrs shift and should not be expected to come home to cook for the husband and kids

He is financially irresponsible

One asked men to explain why a nice and loving woman will suddenly changed...

Remember they are all waiting to hear the wife's side of the story ? SMH

Well u don't know me and if u must be told I work 66hrs with 6hrs unpaid break in a week and I pay what she ask me to pay as bill and apart from that I spent extra £s every month.

Anyway, thanks for the advise and the polite insult.

I have being trying to engage her in talks, and I think most of her grievances have being the issues we have dealt with over and over in Nigeria.that I felt it has being erased in her mind was never erased. Not adultery issues o b4 bash me.

I believe communication gap has being created for a long time which I believe most part was my fault I wil say but nevertheless, there is no way u can read minds even when u tried to ask what is wrong all the times

She is a kind of woman that wil rather bottled up issues rather than say it out.

In what she has being saying so far, she said I should give her time to think.


Though I am proposing we walk more on our communication but she believes am doing that because of my visa.

I will soon conclude what to do if ADR does not work.

The worst that could happen is going back to Nigeria but the fate of our children is my fare right now.

Please note, she is a good woman that would rather bottled issue up than say it out untill it explodes

I believe a thread on living in marriage should be open so that we can all learn from the good, the bad and the ugly of marriage in UK.

What I have realised so far is that I still love my wife and my family as a whole.

Thanks to all advices

Awwww, sounds like you are making improvement. Why not suggest Therapy so you can both have a professional help you work out your issues. And if she still can't overcome it then by all means it's fine.

Meanwhile what kind of job do you do? If its healthcare related go check the sponsorship list and start actively searching for an opportunity to sponsor your Skilled work visa. That way you can still be in the country to see your kids.

Wishing you the best as you navigate this period

You are a good man, you haven't come here to bash your wife so as to gain sympathy despite all false accusations flying around here.

Keep working on peaceful and RESPECTFULLY resolution of this issue.

Keep your own side of your marriage vows to love her even at this difficult time.

Give her time to decide as you keep constant contact with your kids

You will definitely find peace even in separation because you have played your part.

You have my respect.

I have seen first hand what toxic marriage break up can do to a man.

A very close friend went through it and it almost destroyed him if not for intervention of city council and his work HR department who supported him and gave him time to return to work.

12yrs marriage with 3kids ended and he can't put his finger to what he did exactly.

He was kicked out and was sleeping in his car while the wife got council accommodation and child benefit from his work.

You can also start before the ADR, infact sponsors are a lot for such jobs and like someone advised, please make friends. It will help you greatly.

BTW I believe UKVI might even have issues with renewing the visa with one parent because of consent letter and custody issues. So if shits hit the fan, all of you may end back in naija if care is not taken as you also have equal power over the kids.

Bro, I’m sincerely pained with your personal problems but more pained that you brought it on this platform. This is a public platform where we come to catch cruise and of course from time-to-time express ideas/suggestions on sundry issues. This is not the platform to discuss your marital issues - your marriage deserves its privacy and respect.

Marriage is a very sacred institution and irrespective of the happenings, this is the very wrong platform to either express your situation or seek for advice for such problems as peculiar to you and your spouse. You are an adult and MUST have a network of people around you including clerics and family who should be the circle within which your discussions about your issues should reside with. You didn’t marry out of the blues and neither have you lived with your spouse without a support network – leverage this.

There are no marriages without problems but if we all come on this platform or other public platforms airing our situations, we make mockery of this very pivotal institution and show we are incapable of handling or managing situations. You are a manager of a woman and two kids and that’s your cross – not mine or anyone else here on this platform. You must take that cross and carry it ALONE and carry it well. You must do ALL it takes to make it RIGHT.

I sincerely wish you the best in your marriage but hey MAN UP. What advice do you expect from us who aren’t in your peculiar shoes or concerned parties? If you need advice on visa routes or professional advice (lawyer for instance) that’s fine to ask here, but please respect that institution, your wife, and kids. Give them that privacy please.

God bless.
