A woman that loves you when you are broke and jobless will never leave you when things become hard because she has been there with you before

LIES. Did she leave with 5 kids because of allowance? How will she cater for 5 children alone?





Should we say you have ishi with your eye or ishi with comprehension ... it is right there in the story she left with two kids, only if you had sat ur lazy ass down to read.
In this bum short age some people still think a woman need a reason to leave a man, lolz! they might as well cumma tell us one reason anita left paul.

I want to thank you all for your advice and comments.
I want to clear some issues that some people brought fort.

1.The issue of domestic violence does not arise between her and me.I don't beat or fight her.

2. When I was working I established business for her and the business is not doing bad.

3.iam not totally jobless, I have a handwork, that is solar energy installations, CCTV camera and dstv,startime and general satellites installation, I told her that I will be supporting whenever I get jobs but she said ,she need it in bulk as I normally used to give her whenever I received my salary at the end of the months

4.Another issue is that of bearing kids which I cannot take care of them,.Actually my wife didn't support family, when she gave birth to our third Child, i told her that we should embarked on family planning but she turned it down, citing that her mother did not do ,hence she can't do it as well.Even another issue that she complained when she reported the case to my pastor before she finally left,was that we sleeping on the same bed for about two weeks but I am seeing her like a log of wood but for me iam afraid of anything pregnancy because the loads are too much on me.

Thanks you all for your advices,
May God bless.

My wife which we have been married for the past thirteen (13) years and have five(5) children, four boys and girl for me ,just left my house on Sunday to her parent house without informed me.

She left because we have little disagreement about monthly food allowance which I used to give her every month but I failed to give her this month when she requested for

She left with the girl which is six months old and a boy two years and left three boys for me.

Please I need your advice, should I go and beg her or I should forget about her and continue with my life. According to my family members, they said I should forget about her because of the manner she left.


Who has 5 children in this economy,time and age?
You are already "fighting" over food allowance.

Brace up! She will surely be back.
There are many other things to "fight" over.

As you lay your bed, so you lie on it.

Goodluck

You see yourself bringing your marital problems to nairaland to immatured, unreasonable and unmarried people. So because a man that has been taking care of a wife for 13 years lost his job, so the next thing to do is for the wife to pack out of the house and move to her parents house, and people here are supporting her action. You have learnt your lesson o. Instead of sitting down with the husband to find a way out and pray together to God to provide another job, the people here are supporting her movement out of the house. I can't understand how Nigerian youths of today reason.
Re: My Wife Left Me Because I Lost My Job. by TuFab(f): 9:05am On Sep 16, 2021
Please go and see you wife and talk to her calmly, she must love you to have 5 kids for you, so I'm sure she would listen to you.
Don't listen to those useless family members asking you to abandon her, will they halp you raise the kids?
Have they finished sorting their family issues before pocknosing into yours?
It will shock you how they'll tune their backs at you when you need their support.
Nigeria is hard we know, but try and get another job and do a permanent family planning.

Hello,

First, I don't support the way she left. Marriage should not be all honey and darling when the going is good.

You guys didn't have any outstanding issue apart from the money thing? No quarrel ...no beating?

If that's the case, I think you should call her mobile phone.

I think you should try to meet her and discuss issues together.

Crowdfunding for public advice may not be too good sha. Awon redpills are coming to tell you to take in another woman.


Wouldn't another woman leave too if it is unbearable?

You don't need to be a redpill. You need to be an alpha gentleman. You need to know your responsibilities as though they were your body parts.

I must say... I hate it when families know husband and wife are having an issue.

We shouldn't listen to our family sometimes.

Check: they are all concentrating on the woman but none of them is telling you be more responsible. Of course, they'll support you with words. Will words help you take care of your family?

When I mean trying your best, I mean living up to the expectations of being a man; it is your responsibility to take care of your family! You don't bear children more than you can take care of.

You may rightly argue differently that you work hard. Sure, you do. But you aren't working harder enough for the family. You need to man up.

Bring your wife back.

Be the husband you'd want your daughter to have.

Be like the man who was sent to the lions to be eaten but came back leading the pride.

Please don't forget to buzz me when she is back make I come chop nkwobi biko.

You are welcome.
Nice script.
I will never beg any woman that leaves my house on her own volition.
As long as it was not because of domestic abuse or any other physical abuse, any sensible parents would not let her stay 1min in their house and not chase her back.
Am sure the woman didn't love him from the start, she married him cos of comfort, and when the borough broke, she absconded.
Mr Man, don't disturb yourself, take your boys to your mum to be looking after for you so you can concentrate on how to make your life better.She will come crawling back when she smells something cooking(in d rock's voice).
Things will surely cone back to normal and even get better.

Are you kidding me? I know how annoying that can be, well thats that gender for you. For your own good, just meet her at her parents and have a descent discussion with her, dont get angry. Let her express herself and you can take it up from there. If you decide to ignore and continue with your life, I bet you, you will not like the outcome..

Prior to this job loss, how was the relationship between the both of you?

If you have lost your job, why does she still expect you to foot the bills like you normally do?

Does she earn? If yes, does she contribute to the family pot?

What have you done to secure another source of income? You have five kids which is a lot in today's economy and everything is freaking expensive in the market right now.

What should you do?

Ignore your family and invite her back home to discuss the your issues.

I believe she told you she was going to her family house during the misunderstanding that's why you immediately knew where she went to with the kids.

I would have said you go to your in-laws house however, if they did not deem it fit to intervene/resolve the issue, then leave them out like your parents. Both in-laws seem to have given up on the marriage which goes back to my first question:

How was the marriage pre- job loss?

During your engagement, also assert that you would not tolerate her leaving home for issues anymore except they are life/death and she is willing to end the marriage.

With hardwork, you will break through.

Amen.
The inlaws are already shouting that he should leave the wife. The woman is even kind enough to take the two youngest kids. They are not ready to help out in any way but to instigate matters. Bunch of useless set of people. I believe they were dependents when the man had a job but see their contribution. Like they are ready to step in. They are useless and i say it becos when hubby had issues, non of them stepped in to help. My family did everything including returning the C of O the bank took. This was few weeks after i got married oh. Meaning i wasn't there when he was 'loaded' like they said. We separated. Only for me to come back after we settled and started hearing that i came because things are better. Ahh, egbon shebi i follow una eat the money? Bunch of parasites that do not care about you when u are down. Thank God hubby knows better. Op, born again u hear? 5, and u expect her to stay. Rubbish

There is more to this story that OP is not telling us. How long have you lost your job?... and more importantly ... what have you been doing to earn money? (applying/searching for jobs does not put money in your pocket.) As a husband you need to provide for your family. If it is you lost your good paying job .... and was dipping out of your savings to give monthly food allowance .... didn't you expect savings to dry up? I can bet my life your wife been advising you to find another means of livelihood... but you weren't listening because of pride. You know why she left ... and you were warned so why the surprise? You're lucky she didn't leave for another man's house. Personally ... as a man ... you should be ashamed to bring this issue to the public .... and to even consider discussing it with family members ... or even consider begging your wife. You have failed as a husband period. Your children are watching you ... will you blame their mother for not having food on the table? Bro.... man up ... get up and get .... swallow your pride ... sell water or whatever to put money in your pocket and food on the table..... that's the only way your wife will return. You are the one destroying your family. Man up.

I know you brought the issue to Nairaland because you were expecting a good bashing for your wife. Feels good to know that you are getting reasonable response here. Op, go and reconcile with your wife. Even the redpillers here secretly slide into Nigerian girls dm.
If she comes back, good for you! If she doesn't, just know you have tried your best. I'm wishing you divine grace in your Hustle!!!

Sir, be strong and courageous.

Examine yourself well, and ask yourself this questions

1) when you were in money,how did you treat your wife?did you treat her nicely by giving her money to buy things for herself and the kids or did you do otherwise to her by maltreating her financially?

2) When you were in money, do you save or whatever you have you spend it the way you like, as if there's no tomorrow?

3) When you were in money, how well do you pay your tithe and how close are you in serving God?

There's a saying that if you want to know the level of humility of a man, you'll definitely know when he's broke but if you want to know the level of arrogant and pride of a man, that's if he's in money and power.

Well, there's a possibility that your wife got married to you because of the money you had then, but not for TRUE LOVE, and now that you are broke financially, instead of her to patiently and prayerfully assist you and the family for a while, she rather left , but I won't really blame her because nobody knows how you treated her when you were in money then.

So for now, you need to get closer to God, ask him for mercy and take you to the land of prosperity.

I don't know how close is your relationship with your male friends, but I believe if you tell them you are searching for a job, I believe if they are good friends,they should be able to assist you, in case there's a vacancy in their place of work.

Pray to God to restore you back, to the land of blessing and prosperity.

Oga are you married? And if yes for how long?
Few marriages have it all on a plate of gold. Ups and down including financial wise. 21 years ago in the UK, I knew a man that was a top management staff, he lost his job and was driving a city bus. Few it took him a year to recover back to his previous level. His wife did not leave him.
The issue here is what is the contribution of a wife apart from having kids. Afterall this is the 21st century and especially unique is the Nigerian situation under buhari, most good wife's contribute their own quota to hold the family. Heck the woman I buy food from lost her job but instead of sitting and living the burden for her husband she cooks, puts the food in her 2012 Toyota sienna and sells good food. Even has a portable cooker for warming.
When I had financial issues years back wify insisted on working till she was 8 months before stopping just to support the family.
Most families now need income from both partners to make headway.
That man never had a wife jare.

Very stupiid and useless comment


For one month a man failed to give the wife money due to some financial crisis, which was not deliberate, a woman have the gut to packed out of a man's house without even telling him. Who does that? She was never a wife , she only stick to the guy because all was rosy, it it's also a clear indication that woman didn't love the husband.



To the OP, forget about that kind of woman, she doesn't worth it. I pray you get you fit back on track.


I am a woman, i can never support her.



� you know before now,I would have this exact opinion of yours.but the years have thought me better.it’s best not to judge from just one persons opinion.for a woman to leave after thirteen years,there’s just more to this story than the op is dishing out it’s not just about the money.

And just to add in this unstable Nigeria N employee having 5 children is a big risk as it’s not easy to provide for them without a stable income. Citizens of more advanced and stable economies are having one or two .
Nobody here knows the wife though I’m sure if you ask her she’ll justify her actions

Comments or notions like this is what makes it wise for men to stay on their own, suffer and enjoy on your own.
When things are smooth, you're the man. When things aren't, you're a looser.
This man isn't an infidel, he is responsible, but situations changed. During Bible times, didn't Israelites experience famine, did that make their men infidels.
