Please I Need Someone To Tell Me If I’m Wrong Or Not. by umehaam: 9:49pm On Nov 06, 2021
I will be concise and as straight to the point as possible and will appreciate people’s advice or suggestions especially married folks.
I got married first week of August this year. This is just three months of marriage.
We didn’t have long courtship because she’s based in a different location and hardly visits.
Now we are married, I’ve started seeing things I don’t really like and is giving me concern. I’ve called her to have a close heart to heart talk but each time I do that it normally ends in quarrels.

These are the issues, I’m a neat person and even before marriage I do my chores myself. I hardly eat outside because I cook all type of food and store in deep freezer and I’m the type that likes things to be neat and environment tidy.
But my wife is the opposite. My wife hardly wash dishes. If she does it she will be feeling like she has done one big job or so. For the past three months we got married I have been the one washing dishes most of the time. Plates will fill the sink she will ignore it until I wash and clean everywhere. Hardly will you see her sweep the room or even mob. I do cleaning of the room and the last time it was mob I was the one.
I made sure I got her stuffs she needs to be comfortable. I got her a washing machine but I will still be the one to load clothes in the washer and even when she does that, she will keep them for me to go downstairs and hang after washing and still bring them back when completely dried.
I do those things without complaining but recently it has turned to be my duty that even when I’m not around and she wash, she will keep them for me to come home and hang them downstairs.
For three weeks our room has not been swept. Just this night I felt really bad seeing many plates in the kitchen sink and she just ignored all.

Not as if she’s working. We are planning on securing a shop for her because she is a business person and still does business online currently and most of her reason according to her why she doesn’t do most chores is because she said she’s always talking to customers on chat. I’ve asked her what of people that manages several business so they don’t have time for their family? I’m just being skeptical starting up a business for her because since she’s doing this way when she has not started a full blown business, how will she do when she’s now managing big business.

I do cook well and most often she relegate cooking to me. Is either she cook one and beg me to cook the other. I’ve been so down and that’s not what I bargained for.

I complained bitterly about her action this night and she’s threatening me with divorce. We are just married for three months and the way it is going now I don’t think I can’t bear this going forward.
She got angry this evening because I told her that the way she keeps house untidy that just very soon my coming back here will be to just come home and sleep and leave the next morning because I’m tired. She got angry and started moving her things from our room to the visitors room with a threat of divorce. I don’t know what to do.

You better calm down and fix your marriage.

When you said for better for worse, this was what you swore to bear.

You now know the true picture of the woman you married. I wouldn't say you carried out due diligence or not, but you have to find a way to manage the situation.

What actually made you love her? Dwell more on that.

Instead of shouting and threatening, find a way to make her a neat person in love. Teach her how to be neat. Be patient through the process

The matter never reach to divorce

Brother you are not wrong, It feels like you begged her to marry you, for God's sake stop pampering her, if she's is misbehaving you call her to other, scold her and let the quarrelling last long, you have taken the position of a wife in your marriage instead of being the man who is supposed to be in control, you are here crying because she threatened divorce, how can you work then you still come back to do dishes, not rarely but occasionally, guy you dey fućk up,

I feel she must have done a lot for you to be holding you to ransom or maybe you are a simp and not man enough, a house wife who can't do basic chores is not wifable.

@OP, I'd really like to know what the terms were in your courtship.
This is what I tell single guys, when you are dating a lady and she is forming feminist and pushing house chores on you without remorse be careful and define the lines before it gets out of hand.

I can cook very well, but I still let my babes know that the kitchen is their office, I have met a few who disagreed and that was when I knew I could not marry them.

What you will not take in marriage dont even start it in a courtship... I am sorry to say this but you will have to live like this or be prepared to go through a difficult process to set the lines straight again in your marriage.

I wish you goodluck.

I think you diagnosed the issues from ur write up - short period of courtship. Now that you are in already, note that you are from 2 different backgrounds and have to gradually blend into each other. You may have to develop thick skin and talk to an elder sister or someone else that can explain things to her. But note that the Change process is gradual and needs nurturing.

its an upbringing issue and too bad she didn’t change before getting married.

Growing up, leaving dishes unwashed was a thing until I went to live with a relative that is so obsessed with being tidy and living in a clean environment. I thought the woman was punishing me for always making me clean, wash dishes and clean the kitchen always, fold clothes, lay my bed sheet smooth and nice etc but now, I’m grateful for those times I was talked down at for being disorganized.

It will really take the Grace of God for her to change and you really need to be patient with her, keep correcting her with love.

Get a maid that comes to clean the house maybe 3-4 times in a week, pay the maid from her upkeep, explain to her that because you are big on clean environment you will have to reduce her upkeep to pay someone to do it

You are not wrong. You just like a tidy environment and your wife is a messy person. Maybe you can agree on a cleaning and cooking schedule? Set up a timetable for the two of you. Divide the chores and write down who is responsible for what on which day of the week.

Why were you so much in a hurry to marry someone you barely even know?

See, whether she likes it or not, you both must address all the issues, and if she threatens you with a divorce, call her bluff and tell her to go right ahead with the process.
It is either you put your foot down now and insist on change, or you accept things the way they are and remain unhappy for the rest of your married life.

So you married a woman who does not like to clean up after herself and also does not like to do chores. Did you love her before you discovered all of this about her or did you love her thinking she was also the clean chore-loving kind? undecided

She has moved her stuff to the visitors room to stay in there, threatening divorce, you say. Why not go easy on the nagging for a couple of weeks and see how things go then. Hopefully she can learn to keep the guest room tidy and maybe work on doing her own laundry this while she speaks to her customers, who knows? Give her time without your nagging to process the situation. undecided

You don't need a maid. No need to waste money on such with two grown capable adults in the house. undecided

The decision of having a maid should be when both of you are financially settled and able to both afford it as a couple. undecided

The only way to save your marriage is to get a maid. That woman won't change so don't even bother. The fact that she's chosen divorce over sanitation just three months into her marriage shows that your troubles haven't even started. By the time you start raising kids, you may have to resign from your job and take a full-time cleaning job in your home, leaving you broke and frustrated.

You have to just find a way to get a maid YOURSELF to handle cleaning duties and nothing else. A clean environment is necessary for your mental health. But as for other tasks like cooking, well, consider eating out. A clean environment will keep you sane for a while and limit the complaints. Eating out will naturally define the future of your marriage.

Guy, boldly make her sit up now before its too late. Heat it up so badly that she'll only have two options, one is to sit up and be a responsible wife or 2. She can find her way out of your life.

She's doing her deeds on purpose.

This isn't a maid problem but a marriage problem. In the same way you don't solve a marriage issue by having a child , you can't do it throwing a maid at it. undecided

The couple first needs to come together as one to decide the way forward after which they can then decide on solutions to the cooking and cleaning problems. Right now communication has broken down. undecided

When people are thinking marriage, careful and observant courtship is important. Avoid sex and emotions so that your eyes will not be covered by them. Watch out for red flags, compatibility traits etc.

While no human is perfect, watch out for things that you can't coupe with.

You are in it, you are in it.

Report her attitude to a trusted and respected friend, relation or spiritual leader.
Re: Please I Need Someone To Tell Me If I’m Wrong Or Not. by Nobody: 2:59am On Nov 07, 2021
The problem with most marriages these days is, many rush into for various selfish reasons or out of desperation
and fail to take time to understudy their spouses to know enough to say, ok, I can cope.

It's after the whole rush rush, they'll now begin to study and notice what has prolly been staring them in the face all along.

I'm sure you observed some of these things but overlooked them maybe because she's so hot and sexy therefore it's no biggies; its something you can handle and cope with. All you just wanted was this damsel beside you. Shikena! you forgot that marriage is for life and you'll have to put up with it forever.

Now, you haven't even gone quarter way, You're already tired. She too is tired. The worst of it all is she's not even willing to change because she doesn't see herself in that postion and would rather dump you than succumb. So, you have a big problem.

Look, both of you are not a perfect match. Stop deceiving yourselves Patching what is not patchable here. Your happiness is key and if you're not getting it from the most important aspect of your life, then I'm sorry miserable is an understatement here.

Maybe in your next life, you'll calm down and look well before you leap.

Las Las, this marriage of a thing is overrated. Just three months, body don dey bite everybody. Hm!
