He is a very principled man. Very religious and doesn't play with his God been a devoted Muslim. Extremely rich and bless with four grown up children with the second of his children getting married in a month time.

He retired from the bank 2 years ago having risen to the pinnacle of his career in the banking industry having served in different capacities for almost 35 years.

Yes, the wife is uncultured and ill-mannered. He knows already and has been managing her all these years.

He is presently in court seeking to divorce his wife and has vowed that nothing would stop him from divorcing his wife.

My question is what could possibly make a man thrown in the towel and walk out of his marriage after so many years together?

I will like to know.
In life one's peace of mind and sanity is priceless and nobody is ready to trade it for anything on planet earth, and that was why your uncle did what he did, BECOS THERE IS A THIN LINE BETWEEN SANITY & INSANITY

This is happening in my own family right now. My mother was always telling my older brother that our father's house was his own.She will say things like do you want to spoil the kitchen sink and block the drainage system, don't you know this house is yours.

My mother was always talking with my older brother in private and filling his head with only god knows what.My brother will misbehave and when confronted he will fight with my older sisters and be saying things like do and go marry, this is not your house. You have married, go to your husband's house I don't know what you are looking for here

Today he is over 40 and still living in our father's house with our parents. My father was telling me that to even buy bread or gas in the house he does not, yet he works. I think he is waiting for the day our father will die so the house can go to him like he has was told over the years.My father has never said anything about the house being his own or talked about a will or inheritance, but mother and son since decided who is getting the house.

I like my mother she is honestly not a bad person just flawed but this thing you have talked about is so real and I don't know if some mothers do it knowingly or unknowingly. She has now seen how her 2 male children are useless and not helpful, last month I sent her some money and she was thanking and blessing me saying it is we the female children that are actually helpful. I said to myself so it is now you know.

I pray I don't make the same mistakes with my own sons. Me and my sisters want to put money together to renovate the house for our parents comfort but one is not very interested and she has been asking, why should we spend money renovating a house for our brother to come and inherit. He is not even the first born child.

Sorry for the long talk, your post just triggered me to talk. I also support what you said on another thread about training children to be independent and responsible enough to hustle their success instead of fighting over inheritance and fathers properties. I have noticed that it is mainly male children who do this dragging of inheritance and fighting for property
My mum was doing similar thing to us about who and who owns what in my dad property in PH and the village and also trying to pitch us the children against him with so many spurious accusations, but we figured it out on time and slit 4 against 1(the last boy). I sat her down to told her the truth that she can take a bow if she is tired of the union and that i will not visit her wherever she is and that my dad is the one that commands the authority to shear his property and not her. the last daughter told her that if she disturbs the man too much and he decides to take another woman as wife that she will welcome the new wife with open hand.

When she saw it was 4 to 1 against her nagging behavior, that was how she cool till today. her reasoning done stable. what the mothers do first is the buy the children to there side then start attacking the husband because the children has her backing. this was what lead the man in Kano to burn down his house to ground level because the children and his wife where against him so nobody could lay claim to the building.

children has a big roll to play in mother/father misunderstanding.

He just want to live the rest of his life in peace. He has endured enough and deserve some peace in his life for a change. Now I know better than to judge men in this kind of situation.

Why didn’t he divorce her since? Is it now that she is no longer appealable that he wants to divorce her? Who does he want to marry her now? Smh!

And what he will be looking for in a woman now that he want to divorce his wife of 30 years, this is the time he need her most during his retirement age.

Come to think of it, maybe there's a small girl somewhere pressing his buttons. Just like my uncle who spent 38 years in Europe only to return to Nigeria and start messing himself up with gold diggers & 419 girls. Every week his iphone is missing or unfamiliar withdrawal.

He was able to cope cos he was always at work. Now, he is home more and has known what hell in the cell is. grin

The man is simply trying to live longer. If you ask him, his doctor are concerned about his bp already. grin And the only way is to run away from the woman.

Mrkumareze:
Grown children re involved, divorcing her is an insult to the children .. Since the man is rich, getting the wife a separate house would be a good idea..
The man ran away from reality all dis while, now he's beginning to face it..
Are you really serious?grown children indeed.are they the ones who built the house,so if the man runs into a health condition that requires so much money to treat he cannot sell his property to take care of himself because he has agbayas as children

Na your kind dey connive with their mama dey do this rubbish.

The only way the man does not have rights to sell the property is if he built it in collaboration with his wife,so it is co-owned by the both of them ...Shikena!

Hmmm Klass is back with the adorable Klassics. grin Nice one.

I believe the older you grow the calmer/unbothered you should become because the kind tension and stress a young man or woman's system and heart can withstand is different from when old.

Maybe the uncle had a terrifying experience one day and realized he could snap anytime soon if he doesn't do something quick. Or maybe baba just wants a fresh start and a new/younger wife for retirement life. grin grin

But my only question is........

30 years. How can someone be a bad person for 30 years? Like live all your life with a bad character. What a waste. Aren't humans supposed to strive to improve and be a better person everyday.
Permit me to say this: there's a difference between CHARACTER and HABIT.
Habits can be dropped as one gets older for instance, partying, even drugs womanizing, including positive habits like playing games or even hiking, etc....but character is ingrained and some people DNA carry characters that refuse to be malleable!
So maybe that's that woman's issue, over the years the man had hoped she'd change, yet no improvement, now at the twilight of his life he needs peace, the woman is yet to see that...so character is the main issue...

I don't believe that anyone should take a person serious who can write out such a bold faced lie as the bolded below.

It's obvious such a person is dwelling in a Reality Distortion Field as this is far beyond telling a lie.

People that have a distorted sense of Reality can pass a lie detector test as they actually believe the nonsense they say.

Buhari and Lie Mohammed are sound examples.


pocohantas:
Yes naw. Male sons because I like to think they are men in every sense of the word and not bobriskies. Men are way more subjective than women and would typically indulge and support themselves, even in the worst situation. So to see FIVE SONS, not one or two, but five educated and UK trained sons, beating their father? Very questionable.

It is their actions that would kill the man, not their mother’s own. He must be very broken.

Marriage in this age is turning to another Thing.Marriage was a Blessing to Our parents,but marriage in this age is a thorn in the flesh.When you marry the wrong Person ,its a life of regrets.Both Sex are guilty in this ,but i think Most Nigerian women mentality about mariage has Changed .Our men are refusing to understand that you cant practice marriage Like the Way that Our fathers handled marriage.You hardly find find women WHO will submit to any man .we See women WHO want the men to bow to them.We See men who want women WHO can be Slave to them.Marriage has Lost its purpose now.i noticed even those we called religious sister are even worse marriage Partners and also religious Brothers.The result of failed marriage IS telling on children and society at large

Can you pls link me up with your uncle, I can help him with a retirement plan that can give him a financial peace of mind.
Thank you

Pensioners are always with retirement plans, and besides the man is already rich, therefore he doesn't need you.

You said he's your uncle and you came here to ask strangers why he's divorcing his wife. Couldn't you have asked him and kept his matter within the family?

Is he aware you're discussing his private matter with total strangers on the internet? Would you like people to do that to you on your domestic affairs?

After 30 of productive marriage!? Your uncle suddenly realised that he cannot tolerate the wife- who bore him 4 grown up children? Haba! The 30 years of "managing" the wife is longer than the the further years he will live with the woman as husband and wife.

Your uncle must have found another woman somewhere who has in one way or the other 'captured" his heart and changed his marital orientation towards his wife and the marriage.

If I were your uncle, I will tolerate the wife till death separate them.
Tolerate u say? This sounds so stupid for a man to endure
Re: My Uncle Has Decided To End His Marriage Of 30 Years by NaBanga: 7:48pm On Oct 17, 2021
The job is a buffer that helps people tolerate each other. Once the job and even kids are gone, you could die of high BP dealing with such people. Your uncle could build another home that is not too far. Divorce is not always necessary.

,

Check your own, if you're married. You will definitely see it there.When you see it, don't ignore and leave it till it becomes rotten and unbearable as your uncle did. Cast it out immediately. If you're not married, wait until you are.The dynamics of marriage are better experienced than taught.

If you are yet to marry or you are fresh in marriage,have fate in God and strongly hold on to him. Never ignore the advice of an elderly man. Move closer to people who are older than you,you will learn a lot about marriage. Then you prepare yourself,so that you may leave long. When a woman tell you I love you. You should know the meaning. Woman have little understanding about life and existence, they are ready to destroy it..seek for knowledge ,. Never rely on your own understanding

grin Na real male sons indeed grin. But aunty Poco, there's nothing these sons know that my dad who's the closest man to their father don't know......The Problem all started when my uncle sat his wife down,and told her he want to sell one of his buildings (precisely the one in PH) so that he can use the money to build a house in his home town since he's already aging...But the wife didn't agree to his plan... Instead,she insisted on the fact that everything belongs to her children and my uncle shouldn't even dare sell any of his property cheesy

Imagine am na cheesy. Children wey about 3 out of the 5 dey do well..
The man should quietly sell off most of his properties and relocate somewhere else and become incommunicado. Its not by force to leave any inheritance for anybody, what a parent owes the children is sound education. That is how they(children) will be praying for him to die quickly so that they can inherit somebody else's sweat. Nonsense.
