Am I Doing Bad As A Father And Husband by evangmx(m): 9:08pm On Jun 22, 2022
I just lost my job like 2 months ago. I use my car to do can work. My wife works as well. And we have 2 children.

I want you to tell me the truth am I doing bad or good?

I pay all the bills at home, I still give out 15k every week for food.

But my wife still complain. I don't know what she use her salary to do. All I know is that she use to wear new cloth every Sunday and new shoes. And buys cloth for the children once in a while.

Pls tell me if am doing bad.

Only you can answer that question. Sometimes its not really about how much money. How's the relationship with your wife? Or what kind of woman did you marry?

My elder sister saw my post which day on WhatsApp and was asking if I'm still using my "old clothes and bags". Wetin man go do now? @Op your wife is insensitive aswear,why does God or whoever it is allow good people marry bad ones and vice versa. Check well she might be building a house somewhere or processing her visa to travel out with or without the kids. Na your type of person dey carry love and marriage matter for head. It's well

You simply trying to BREAK your own home by bringing this to the public square that does not possess the requisite for THOUGHTFULNESS. A field occupied and filled with the BRAINLESS. Including, people without the EXPERIENCE for this. Some of them might not have either a HOME WIFE and or UNMARRIED. They do not know what a home is and its DEFINITION.

YOU ARE COURTING MORE TROUBLE MY FRIEND.

Go resolve whatever is going wrongly in your home with your wife. Desist from bringing your dirty linen into the public. According to you you have endured and managed this well all this while.

TOLERANCE WITH ENDURANCE, MY FRIEND.

Wish you well as you continue to understand your wife with RESOLUTION to keep your FAMILY.

baba you are doing very very well...60k a month for food plus paying all the bills....most men won't even do that when their wife is working...

my brother,YOU ARE A VERY RESPONSIBLE MAN... DOING ALL THESE TO TAKE CARE IF HIS FAMILY DESPITE THE ROUGH TIMES FOR YOU....


YOUR WIFE DOESN'T KNOW SHE HAS A GOOD MAN...SHE IS NOT BEING SUPPORTIVE...


MY ADVISE IS CONTINUE DOING YOUR BEST,GOD WILL BLESS YOU MORE AND OPEN MORE DOORS FOR YOU... DON'T GET FRUSTRATED OR DISCOURAGED BY HER ATTITUDE...JUST IGNORE AND CONTINUE BEING RESPONSIBLE...LOVE AND CARE FOR YOUR FAMILY....forgive your wife,she knows not what she is doing!!...chai..

oga if you are so experienced with family issues,you would realise that sometimes the head gets too full that you need to empty it somewhere or somehow...so it's either you talk to "your wall" or you come to a "faceless" forum like this to let it out...and be relieved.... secondly he is an adult, he can filter whatever he sees here and know what is worth adding to his private life....so it's totally wrong for you to use brainless and such derogatory words on everyone and every opinion here....DROP YOUR OPINION AND MOVE ON...THANKS FOR YOUR TIME

IF HE IS MATURED ENOUGH TO FILTER ANYTHING AS AN ADULT. HIS RECENT MOVE CLEARLY PROVED YOU AND HIM OTHERWISE.

For your INFORMATION and EDUCATION. No successful union and matrimony ever had external FORCES and OPINIONS intervention in their internal affairs. Their internal matrimonial home is never for public comsumption.

A MAN CAME PUBLIC TO DISPARAGE HIS SIGNIFICANT HALF, CLAIMING SHE USE HER MONEY ON CERTAIN ITEMS THAT IS NOT NEW TO HIM SINCE THEY CAME TOGETHER AND FOR HOW LONG.

He also sings his own praise in contrast to his wife's.

SO MUCH FOR YOUR MATURED MAN!

The way bumpkins like you are always quick to project your inadequacies on the general public is both funny and irritating.

@OP, you've been doing your best truly. The problem is that you've been using servility to maintain and sustain your relationship with your wife from the inception, thus aiding her self-absorption and small-mindedness in general. If not that you obviously lack grit, I would have said, gather some guts and jolt her to reasonableness through action.

Servility is as bad as unjust cruelty, say no to both of them.

Except nothing indicated nor did you even in any way indicated you were ever married and or with home with a partner.

IF I HAVE FOR OVER DECADES AND STILL IS AND YOU, NOT EVEN NEAR.

You are an abundant FOOL! An undesirable nincompoop.

I HAVE GIVEN THE BEST IDEA WITH OPINION FOR A SUCCESSFUL MATRIMONY. A PANACEA FOR GOOD PARTNERSHIP WITH A SPOUSE.

All you IDIOT could offer was the BUFFOONERY crammed into your useless HEAD.

Don't ask us, tell your wife your expectations when you hand her 60k every month for food. Since what you expect her to do is bring in the rest to make up for the needed amount from her salary, tell her straight up this is what you expect for her to do, and then you can come back and tell us then what you two eventually agreed upon. undecided

For the umpteenth time this year, marriage is an agreement between a man and a woman. It is beneficial that you both sit down as a couple to spell out exactly how to resolve these issues, instead of one partner thinking it is OK to pretend it will somehow solve itself. If your wife does not understand that you expect her to chip in her share as far as bills and of food is concerned, you both should come together an communicate this and related concerns. undecided

Doing your best in what exactly? undecided
You are married, no longer a loneranger! If a pat on the back for doing your part of the work is what you need, better go see a mental health counselor at this point. No one force marriage and children on you, so open your eyes and continue working on communication between you and wife until you both begin to get the real gist. undecided

omo the kind of things i hear and read about insensitive women in marriage scares me. I currently have one on my head trying her best to hide her true self and pressure me into marriage including reporting me to people she feels have influence on me. i don't keep friends at all but whenever she's around me and I talk to someone else, she complains bitterly and she honestly expect me to marry her. she wants 100% of my attention to be with her and everything she wants. she's not ready to release 1%. she's looking for someone's son she will imprison into marriage and she wants be to be her slave. me that even has anger issues. it is well. that kind one marry her tomorrow and you must drive away everyone that made you somebody from your house else you won't have peace in your house. I have met with some ladies that applied to divorce their husbands. some of those girls' characters are TERRIBLE. I can't even have them for a girlfriend

The more pertinent question is why do you folks waste your time dating those you see no future with? undecided

All of this chaos in your head over this woman no be for free. Your mental health is impacted by all the stress you put yourself through simply by continually engaging individuals whom you oppose, talk less of when you actually enter relationship with them. Na wa o!. undecided
