I perceive trust issues with your soul.

Free your mind from all this irrelevant thoughts and see how beautiful your soul will be.
No Sir. You perceived wrongly sir. I don't have trust issues, infact I have this carefree attitude,the guys or people I meet are they ones that takes everything I do to heart. I'm yet to see who has my type of heart.

Oga u get wicked wife! The test of true love for a woman is when a man is broke or lost his job and the wife treat him the same as when he was working!! But for a man is when he has a good job but he never cheat and remain loyal to his wife! Sometimes The way u treat your wife when you have your job is when she will reciprocate to you when u are broke! Did u treat her well when you were rich and having your job! If you wife they wear wigs, Mary Kay, eye lashes etc na Jezebel de your house oo!! She will finish her money on demonic material! May God help u, next life u will not marry a slay Queen.

Stop marrying for yourselves wives of the average Nigerian woman then. undecided

If you know that what you want to share bills in your marriage, it is foolishness on your part to marry for yourselves an average Nigerian woman whom you know won't do this with you. undecided
Marriage is an agreement between a man and woman and if she does not agree to share bills with you then you are nothing but an eejit when you go on to marry her only to complain later that she refuses to do what she never agreed to in the first place. undecided

Excellent question! undecided

I don't, for the life of me, understand why anyone would choose to carry it all alone to begin with. Marriage is an agreement between a man and woman, a partnership meant to make easier the lives of those involved. But that is far from the reality for many, including the Op, who continue to think they gain something but shouldering it all themselves. undecided

Your point exactly?

He's a diabetic patient? Yes.

He masturbates a lot? Yes.

Does it negate the fact that he might have had a wife or a family then? Absolutely no!

If you go through his topics, you might have come across one of them where he was looking for a wife as far back as 2013 or where he even put up his phone number for a business deal.

I have been on Nairaland enough to know an agenda driven or Seun-must-chop story and this is not one of them.

Again, you might have to come out in clear terms and tell me why you think this story is pushing a narrative against women.

I've known you since you were using the moniker Ornicus and while you are clearly "Team women empowerment and protection": the classic definition of a male feminist, I believe there are other ways you could do this in real life and not on Nairaland where your actions have inconsequential impact.

In addition to that, it is what it is: men will always complain/throw shots at women and vice versa.

It has been happening before you joined Nairaland and will continue to happen after you leave.

Most women have been brain washed, thinking that its the man's responsibility to take care of the home, Things and events have changed. .marriage now is partnership....if a woman is not ready to partner with u, my Guy leave her.
Back to the matter, the current econic situation in the country and the world at last have made it know to us all, that marriage is partnership, your wife is being selfish, to you and the kids, 60k per month is some couples take home pay and they still survive, so what will u do when ur kids are no in higher institution?....if she cant support u, my Guy leave her, to me i will act as of i dont have a wife, i will single handedly go to market and buy all Things needed at home and give her money to Cook food....Since she is not listening to ur Pastor, i guess a family meeting should be held, from there as a man take ur decision...u can act as a man with put a wife

If you beleive any of the different stories the op throws up as threads, I have a bridge to sell you. I have been on Nairaland since 2006,for your info, and I have watched it evolve.

I am familiar with people like the op, who throw together silly threads for clout

I have also watched the gender wars devolve from matured potshots between adults to malicious lies by small incel boys poisoned by redpill nonsense.

The fear vagina women threads are easy to recognize

I also recognise you as the new breed of troll who gets his rocks off on misogyny, so I am not particularly suprised that you would defend a fellow bro in arms

You are not sir! Besides, the fact you quickly got over the job loss and found something doing, you are a man! Time for you and your wife to have a heart-to-heart discussion about contributing towards the finances of the home so that you don't quickly grow old and die early of high BP (God forbid!). My 2 cents.
Re: Am I Doing Bad As A Father And Husband by Nekky5(f): 3:50pm On Jun 23, 2022
Oga, you just have to revisit the issue of home management once again which includes finances with your wife since the cost of maintaining a family now is indescribable. Any virtuous woman should support the man in building the family rather than investing in new clothes and shoes all the time just to prove an irrational point. It takes divine wisdom to survive in this country now. family work is divisional.

I will say you are by saying he's trying to break his home. Most times when you speak out, it help you solve the problem as a man.

When you pile up the pain, it tends to aggravate into something bad. Sometimes as a married person speaking out doesn't cause a break up, but rather you will get insight from reasonable people.

Like most people and even you have advice he discusses the issue with her and clear his mind.

@Mickykarim 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.

YOU GOT IT VERY WRONG AND IN LINE WITH MY ASSERTIONS THAT MOST PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM DO NOT GET IT RIGHT AND INCAPABLE OF GIVING ANY REASONABLE MEANINGFUL ADVICE TO ANYONE.

I DID NOT ADVICE HIM. WHAT I DID WAS TO POINTIFICATE ON HIS ERRORS MISSTEPS AND BAD JUDGEMENT TO BRING HIS FAMILY MATTERS TO A FORUM FILLED MOSTLY WITH EMPTY SHELLS.

People who are incapable of a HOME and or without one.

Re: Am I Doing Bad As A Father And Husband by Ilovelife4sure: 4:44pm On Jun 23, 2022
If your wife is working and not supporting financially that is wickedness, and that is if you are contributing in doing the house chores, you can't expect her to do all the chores and still contributes in paying the bills. This is where most Nigerian miss it. My advice, call your wife and have a heart to heart talk with her, and see if she can tell you why she think you should shoulder all the financial burden when she has a job.
Re: Am I Doing Bad As A Father And Husband by AlhajiApa(m): 4:48pm On Jun 23, 2022
My candid advice is that you should file for a divorce if you both are legally married because if that car is your only source of income she will eventually leave you.
You can't continue to be with her at this moment. It dangerous for your health considering the work you're into now since you've lost your job.
If you both are not together anymore she'll definitely know what you've been doing in her life. Nothing will happen to your kids bro.

Okay, you have a point, but look at it from this perspective, do you know that we sometimes send money to our wives parents, siblings and close relatives as responsible African husband without putting our wives in the know??.

I have done that times without number, I sponsored siblings entire fee and project, support even sibling's husband who had problems with his business..

Look as Africans we treat our wives family as our family. That is Africa for you.

There is no difference when I'm referring to my wife's parents and my parents. I use location to specify who among them..

There is no limit to what we do to our wives families as Africans, most of which were not in agreement before the marriage as well. where we get it complicated is adoption of western lifestyles into our various homes..

Isn't it embarrassing to find some women searching on google 'is it right to host family members in your home for more than a week' I ask, why would you even reason in that line in the first place?

There is so much around marriage and African style than our women understand..
