My Wife Is Surprising Me; She Is Now A Direct Opposite Of Whom I Thought She Was by ElonEmpire: 10:38am On Mar 12, 2022
GoodMorning all ,

I will make this as short as possible.
Before marrying my wife she seems to be this very generous and accommodating fellow . I felt fall in Love with her because this is just the kind of partner I want,

I have not really stand very well financially, though comfortable and contented, but I have this great dream of, because of what I pass through to help as much people as I can.
While dating her, she told me all kinds of stories of her philanthropic and generous gestures to people.

But moving forward to today, she seems to be direct opposite of everything.
She detests people coming close or we offering any kind of help or assistance to family both hers and mine not to talk of friends.

What about suggesting to assist a relative that can't afford, with their child education na war
We have not born but I have more than enough space to bring one or two children to see them through school but my wife is not buying is at all at all.

I know who I am before I marry, this is the only thing that gives me joy, and my only reason for asking God everyday to bless me so that I can bless people.

But right now am seriously confused
it hurts me alot but I don't wanna force anything against her will.

I have tried discussing it over and over with her but she is still not buying it, with the excuse of that we have not stand enough to carry anybody .

What could be her reasons and
What should I do?

If you really want to help people out of your will,, since that's what gives you joy go ahead, f
Financially though,

Sit her down and talk to her soul to soul, find out why she doesn't wants you to help people,, even her own family,, it's quite surprising,
Or else something is wrong with her,,

But the aspect of bringing people to your home to see them through school,,
It's not going to be an easy one and not advisable with the situations of things right now,
It might lead to unnecessary disagreements between the two of you,
So just forget about it,,

Above all you're the head of your house, lead well and she will follow you

Fake women everywhere , faking their life just to get married to men.

Why pretending to be who you're not? you just want to pretend just to get married.

Op your wife wasn't a philan let's not even talk of thropist, she's a selfish and a self-centered kind of person. She knows the type of person you are hence she pretend to be a giver and she succeeded in pressing your mumu button.

She wanted you to marry her and she has succeeded, now is the time for her to show you her real self. If you're not comfortable with the marriage , you can opt for divorce . Let her take her self-centered body to somewhere else.

1. She's has joined the geng of #stay wicked.
So check if she's taking any of dem wickedness pills and observe the dosage.

2. Violence is upon us on earth as it is up in heaven.
Only the strong (esp. at heart) will survive.
It takes power to do good in this trying times...and those who do good are considered weak.

3. Statistics have shown that marriage changes people (for better or for worse) take it or leave it.

4. Her friends might have be influencing her through several means and advise.

5. God knows what she might have seen on Nairaland, instablog, IG and the rest of it.

It's a kind person that always help, NOT who has alot of money. Look at how God used Obi Cubana to lift up that boy who helped those prisoners with the little token he has. Indeed you are a kind man and God will bless you.

The people you want to sponsor through school, it is not necessary you bring them to your house to stay, you can sponsor and monitor their education from distance.

Don't let anyone (not even your wife) block your breakthrough to divine wealth and prosperity. God is about to bless you abundantly.

I'm sorry to say this but your wife was never generous, she was only hiding her true character from you. But I believe with time she will understand your vision and purpose in Life.

I wish you peace in your marriage.

He sudden change may be related to what she have seen inside marriage as compared to when you were still dating,
You no challenges comes along with marriage and you may think you have much now but when children starts coming in expenses tends to skyrocket and the much you can save now might be your saving grace, opting to bring dependants in is another huge move at an early stage of marriage.
My advice- she have her own perception which you most respect as they are not out of place, if you most give, she must not no, you can pay fees for people without bringing them into your home, don't and never take her refuser as been wicked or a sign that she have changed.

You can help people without trying to bring them into your home. Help them from afar.

I also hope you aren't trying to outdo yourself in the name of "we rise by lifting others" by helping everyone who needs assistance? You'll fall while trying to find your feet.

Don't come and quote the Bible for me that says "it's better to give in nothingness". It doesn't exist. If you are rich and choose to be generous, I can understand. Seemingly, nothing like being "wealthy" was mentioned in your post. That being said, I can't tell you how to spend your money.

Also, the fact that your wife pretended before marriage to be what/who she is not is deceitful. Women should just be themselves, honestly. Who go rate you, go rate you.

Furthermore, you can't force people to believe in your cause. It's your prerogative to be philanthropic, not hers.

Be what you want to be in peace, and don't spite her for not following your cause. You'll only be brewing grounds for malice and hate. Learn to balance your home without affecting your relationship with outsiders and vice-versa. I hope these people you're aggressively clamouring for will go all out for you should you hit hard times. It's a cold world out there. Do you first, others follow afterwards.

I come in peace.

If u are financially buoyant to assist someone, please do it with or without her consent... As long as you are earning separately and it wasn't a joint venture...

Helping does not mean bringing people to live with you...u can help from a distant... U don't wanna bring in kids into your home that your wife will starve to death because she doesn't agree to it right?

As for her recent behaviour, please tell us something current... It's an old news... No be today Yash dey back. cheesy

She got what she wanted (which is the ring).. she has seen you without clothes on, so what is the need for pretence... It's unfortunate you bought it when she told u while dating that she likes charity and helping people... CATFISH grin

Giving is a gift

Giving is a gift

No one said it's not. Everyone should strive to be a GIVER. Giving gives me joy. If there's anything that gives me fulfilment in life, it's GIVING.

However, forcing people to believe in that cause is not advisable. Not everyone can give as much as others. Not everyone has a large heart, as much as we would want everyone to.

I get where your wife is coming from. As much as it's good to help you also need to plan for your family. You are a married man and your responsibility first and foremost is to your wife and your children. Nigeria has zero social contract so you need to always plan ten steps ahead. What if you lose your job tomorrow or your business takes a turn for the worst or Nigeria happens to you. Will those you have helped return the favour. Put your family first.

Leave her behind and push forward your agenda. She's not even worth discussing your plans with since she has showed you her real self.

OP while dating was looking for someone that shares the same vision and mission with him.... A companion with almost 80% or above compatibility in terms of giving... Because that's what makes him happy... The lady pretended her way in... And try stopping something that makes him feel good... That's what OP is talking about....
Pretending to save for rainy days while the heart of giving is not there is the weapon she has in bringing him to his knees. And it's not cool.. And it's confusing OP..

You're a victim of your own ignorance and unpronounced philosophy that places materialism above spiritualism; thus, the reasons why you didn't know that being philanthropic/charitable doesn't automatically equate to being kind - know it now that most acts of philanthropy are embedded with self-absorbing intentions. You got yourself a self-centered woman whereas you had in mind to get yourself a selfless woman, lol.

Also, you're the kind of person that is in the habit of mistaking people who take to posturing for people who've self-respect - posturing isn't the same thing as having self-respect and being just.

In all you get as a man, get discernment.

OP, she was never a philanthropic, she only told you that to manipulate you into getting married to her. angry

Your wife has an entitlement mentality, whereby thinking your money/ resources and everything else belongs to her and her alone! This is exactly how Nigeria girls behaves, they're so broke and filled with entitlement mentality.

OP, if you want to help people, go ahead and help them. You don't need her opinion or suggestions at all

Lol. I've always said this and would always say it. When I want to marry a woman, I would obviously let her know that whatever wealth I acquire in the future isn't just meant for us a family but also for strangers. So long as I am taking care of you and the family and everyone else and you do not lack anything, whatever I do with the rest of the money after saving a lot for us, should not be your headache or problem.
