Hello all, please all I need is your candid advice. I do not think this is the time to ask me rhetorical questions. I would have answered all those questions before the end of the epistle.
I do not sincerely if to quit my marriage or jut keep hoping that things will change in the nearest future.
I dated my wife for three years before got married in 2006. I can say without exaggeration that it has been war, except occasionally when peace will just reign for a short period of time.
Sadly I got a job in a multinational and we moved to Germany in 2014 and that just worsened everything. This made her to acquired more powers to do what ever she likes.
My wife is someone that literally fights with every single person.
During our dating, she exhibited so many of these characters. Despite all these red signs, I somehow just continued rather foolishly in the relationship hoping things will get better. This was not also helped by the pastor of our church who ensured that the relationship continued, he gave very many biblical examples including forgiving someone 7 times 77 times. I must also state that her mother was an elder in the church. So the action of the pastor is understandable.
We eventually got married, and it has been sorry tears and blood. We were able to have 3 children, and the eldest is 11 years, the youngest is 7 years.
My wife disrespects every single living thing I say, every one of them, she can insult me in public without giving a damn. I can not list all the scenario. Just to emphasize this point, her eldest brother and sisters have cautioned her many times , in my house and even when we visit them. To further emphasize, her eldest sister’s husband stop us from coming to his house because he said he can does not just bear the insults and the manner she disrespects me.
We can not have a heart to heart discussion, she is always not ready, or when we talk she just tell me to summarize, or she ignores me completely.
I have suggested counselling, however, she simply refused.
We can stay in the house for months without talking to each other, I have and still has always been the one that tries to initiate peace. Sadly most times she doesn’t even listen and walk away.
She keep male friends that I do not even have any real relationship with them, even if I try to caution her, she screams back. I have actually stopped trying to caution her, I just leave her alone with them. The latest now is a pastor who prays for her for the past 5 years, sadly the pastor and I have never had any conversation for all these years. I demanded for his number 2 years ago, she refused as usual, so I just allow her be. Of course their has been one or two case of suspected infidelity, initially when I asked she just ignored me and was even screaming. I gave her deadline of 5 days and she later cam to me to explain. Although there were still many grey areas.

The sad part is that, there is no single family member to even look into the matter
1.Her step brothers and sisters- they are not in talking terms.
2.Her mum- her mum dare not !
3.Her uncle- She is not in talking terms with any of them
4.Her Aunt-the same story, not in talking terms with them

She does not really have any close per say, and occasionally attend church online. I wish does attend a physical church, her pastor would have been the next person that might probably look into it.

Sadly she believes every one of these people including me have a problem. She feels she is right and we are all just evil people.

I am so confused and frustrated. I do not know exactly what to do.
I think you may have gotten too used to this treatment it has become normal. You shouldn't tolerate this. The same way you gave her those 5 days to offer an explanation, give her some days of ultimatum to change, else you'll leave the marriage. If she doesn't change, just leave. People always have a choice to change or not change. If she doesn't take that choice, you should be in that marriage tolerating it any further.

I am happy you realized how foolish it was to ignore red flags. No matter how long you try you can never make semo with ice water. Some women have no business in marriages but some of you dumbos manage to marry them.

Number 1. Secure your finances. If this woman manages to take hold of your finances you are finished. Remove her name as next of kin in all your documents immediately and ensure she has no means to legally tap into your finances.

Number 2. Stop reacting to her stupidity. Leave her be. She will soon ruin herself.

Number 3. Counselling is not what you need. You need deliverance. Demons are competing for the remote control of your wife. They are playing ludo with your wife's brain. Go for deliverance, fast!

Number 4. No matter what you decide to do next, make sure that you will never be a fool again!
Re: Please My Marriage ! Advice Please by NemoDatQuod(m): 1:48am On May 27, 2022
I hope you have left your home. You have been emotionally and psychologically damaged by that relationship. It will take you near a lifetime to heal. But if you want the chance to ever know what it is like to be at peace with yourself again and to live life they way your creator desires for you, you ought to pack and go. You forgive when forgiveness is sought and when it is demonstrated to be deep and sincere. The Scriptures did not say you should forgive where forgiveness is not sought and more so where the wrong doer persists. The Creator Himself will not do that. Why should you.

There will be significant financial consequences if you leave. But you will find that it is far better to be alive and happy than the slow death you've been going through. And with time, you will come out better off on the other side of the financial challenges.

"What will happen to my kids if I leave"? "I need to stay until they are a bit older". "I may have to sleep on the streets for a while if I leave and have to pay child support for three kids". Yes, those are valid concerns. But they are nothing when compared to the slow death you're going through. Those kids will be better off with you alive and hopefully healing sometime in the future, than with you dead. You may end up going crazy someday and doing something stupid that will go viral. Now is the time to leave!

I am deeply sad and sorry for what you have gone through. It is not an uncommon story these days. You are worthy to be loved. There is a woman out there who will love you and cherish you and want to spend eternity with you.

Marriage is meant an agreement between a man and a woman (no third-parties) and the beauty of that agreement is it is meant to be as unique as the couple. Since there is obvious communication issues between you two, it needs to be resolved or at least handled in order to move you both forward to the next leg job your relationship. undecided

I would advise you enlist the help of a professional marriage counselor (no pastors or family members) to help you in this attempt to bridge the communication gap between yourself and your wife. Table the issues you have while she tables hers and you both work with the counselor to get through as much as you can or decide whether best to call it quits from there. undecided

Thanks, but I said in my post that she has refused councelling. I went as far as her telling her to choose any one she feel she can table the matter before, but she refused. I promised to also foot the bills if she choose a professional counsellor, she also refused.

I read your story , I shake head. I hope she no get bipolar ? I was very happy when I got to the part you wrote, all the red flags were there during your courtship but you foolishly went ahead to marry her . So you brought sorrow , tears and sadness to your self, thinking that things would change. I don't know how old your wife is , but I know that things ( lifestyle) that did not change over 30 years of her existence would not change now .

Anyways, I don't have much to say but to thank God for my life. My relationship of over a year now has been a very turbulent one from the very first day till date and I once believed things would change, but my brother , things are just getting worst and I am planning to go ahead with the marriage. However, Something very strange happened by she, taking her madness to my family and every one was stunned !

Imagine your wife telling you and your family she can't bear your surname and you should bear hers ?? Baba , it was a narrow escape and really thank God almighty for coming to my rescue. Now reading this your story even makes me feel I am on the right track not to regret my actions very soon .

My advice for you right now is to try as much as possible to stay away from reporting her to her family of any kind , pastors and councillors ( as it has not been working but only makes her more angry ) . Always try to make your wife happy . Be the first to apologize. Put in more effort to be a gentle , sweet , romantic, caring and loving husband . Go with her love languages, just maybe, she may see a reason to love you again. The reason for this is because the old ways ain't working so you need a change of approach to save your marriage. Lastly, put her in prayers! Good luck in your future endeavours.
Guy you're such a disgusting fool.
Look at the rubbish your wrote up there as advice.

You simply don't have an ounce of sense in you.
That's why you would have headed into marriage with a demon of not that your family intervened.
But you still have not gotten sense. I'm sure the next woman you meet will be worse.

If you don't change your mentality now, prepare for a marriage worse than the OP's own.

You're so disgusting and brainless.
Tueh!

Now you understand that she has personality problems

She is complacent with her unfriendly attitude
The best thing for you to do is ignore those her attitude and focus on ways to get her to do thing's especially when she is in a good mood

Over time, she will change, if she has kids, they will make her change

One situation or the other will make her adjust and change for good

Believe God for that

Don't let her push you to the wall, do what you can and leave the rest
Re: Please My Marriage ! Advice Please by opeyy(f): 8:34am On Jun 12, 2022
Please do not blame yourself for ignoring the supposed red flags, it has happened, forgive yourself and move on. Take learning from it and don't forget.

I know that this is only one side of the story however, from my experience, when things reach a breaking point, it forces some people to re-assess and adjust. Since you have tried everything within your ability, what may eventually work, since you are willing, is for you to tell her you will be filing for a divorce, and actually file for it - that may force her to take you seriously. You should know that this may also have the opposite effect, in that she will accept this, so you should be willing to go through with it because, to be honest, you're not happy in your marriage anyway. Marriage is no longer a do or die affair because the dynamics of when it was is completely different from our society today. The world is changing at great pace and you don't have to lose yourself in the process. If you both can make it work, then it's better, if not, at least you know you did your best. It may just be what you both need, to force you both back to the drawing board and possibly start all over again.

There's always a sacrifice to make when it comes to getting divorced, you should weigh up what that sacrifice is against your current situation and determine what the best course of action is for you.

I wish you all the very best in your journey.

In as much as its biblical to love a woman as christ loved the church, also know that it is biblical that it is better for a man to live in a desert with a lion than to marry a wicked nagging wife.

Leaving home for a few days or weeks? You need to be clear with her where you are at this point if you seek to resolve your life and situation though. No need being hostage in what is your own marriage too. undecided
