Due to work, my husband and I live in states, and my husband lives in Canada. 3 months ago we had some serious skirmishes during our phone conversation and in the heat of the argument, I told him that he does not appreciate the fact that I am raising the kids and doing everything alone.

To my disappointment, he told me that he is overworked more than me. This really angered me. This got me angry and I hung up. Although He tried to reach me for 4 days, and also sent me some messages, I cut him off without replying, about 9 weeks later, I sent him just a message on an unrelated issue, he ignored my message, after another month, I sent him another message, he also ignored. It has been 3 months now we have not spoken to each other.

Recently my brother had a baby, and he only called once to congratulate them. Moreover my younger sister got admission to a university to study the same course that my husband studied, so naturally, my sister contacted him. My sister said he advised her on what to do and what she should expect. This was about 2 months ago. I personally did not inform him about my sister’s admission myself.

After about one month, my sister also called him for more information, but he has not been picking my sister’s call.

My sisters fiancee also called him to inform him about their upcoming marriage (my same sister that got the admission) he only spoke with my sister and her fiancee once, he stopped further communication with them on both issues of admission and marriage, and that he only spoke with them the first time about the admission and the marriage out of the respect he has for them.

He gave my sister the excuse that it was not proper, for him to speak with her fiancee' because he said that I have not told him anything about the marriage, therefore he can not relate further with my sister as per the marriage. And that it was out of respect that he even called my sister initially to advice her.

What are you thoughts and opinion please.
call me when you get divorced..


I would love to have a MILF in my life kiss

MrBrownJay1:
you made a few mistakes (and so did he)...
A) just because you work hard, never assume that others dont (simply because you dont see/feel it)
B) cutting off your husand and giving him the silent treatment for NINE WEEKS is insane. is that not the father of your kids any longer?!?! why such harsh treatment?
C) your husband is as childish as you are and now playing your own game by ignoring you for months... blame y'all childish self, which ultimately will only hurt the children.
D) look within yourself to see what is bothering you so much that you could take such a small statement from your husband, and turn ii into such a big deal... then put your pride aside, get down on your knees and beg him to forgive you (because it is obvious, you aint gonna win at this "childish" game)
The man is not childish. He is tired of the woman's behavior. Instead of killing himself over a woman, he decided to stay away for peace of mind. Before we know it now another woman would fall into his arms. This is age-long scenario. I wonder why people haven't learned. Atimes it is the man who makes the woman fed up.

Can you even listen to yourself? This man was disrespected by his wife, he became the bigger person despite the disrespect and then called, sent texts, sent voice messages for four whole days to sort things out, what did she do? Cut him off for a whole 9 weeks. You think that while 9weeks he wasn’t trying to reach to her or the kids? And then out of the blue, after 9weeks, she reached out to him over an unrelated matter, bro are you even listening to yourself? And all you could do is try to blame the guy for not being mature? Where is this world sense of equity and fairness? All the time people find means to blame men even on the mistakes of women. Bro men are human beings too with emotions too, he have lives to live too, they shouldn’t always be emotionally blackmailed or abused. They also have the same blood running through their veins. They also have the right to be angry too, they have the right to express their emotions too. Atleast this woman was the one that brought this her problem here, she is reading the responses from others. And instead of correcting her mistakes, help her find solutions to save the marriage she messed up, you are here talking rubbish. I pity men. Alternatively you are telling this woman that what she did was okay that the fault is from the husband for not being mature and man enough. Cut men some slacks, call a spade a spade. Tell the woman that she is wrong and she should find a way to fix it.
He's been fair.

He already advised that she should kneel, crawl and beg him. Majority of the readers agree that that will restore their marriage. It appears once a woman's knees touch the floor, and her husband hears her begging, that he receives godly powers and everything is made right.

Until the next time the same problem comes up again.

Lol

Op is completely wrong and she should look for means to apologise ASAP

However, using Op line of story to generalise that women cannot take what they dished out for MEN is totally wrong

Even a blind person knows that we live in a patrachial society (Nigeria)

The rate at which men treat women is quite absurd


Rapist
Domestic violence
Physical abuse

I'm sure you know women (single and married) are most victims of the above mentioned social vices

I don't have to argue much on that with you bro

We have mothers, sisters, niece et al make we try dey talk truth abeg
You are right but I think what explains (not justifies) the "upper hand" Nigerian men have over women is the dynamics of relationships. Op's story is a good example. You notice how the man is actively involved in the life of his wife's sister and by extension her husband to be. I don't gamble but I can bet Op is not as actively involved in the lives of her husband's family members

Effect of feminism.. You hung up because he said he works more but you would rather he said you both work 50-50.. una go learn by force.
That's what spark the issue, underline the need for money.

Since she work more by taking care of the kids, let her carry the financial responsibilities.... Her mental state is borne out of 50/50 Feminist agenda.

BRATISLAVA:
Okay.

She will kneel and beg this god she married and everything will be okay. The more she grovels, the more she will have the power to change his mind? Maybe it will make the man want to do what exactly?
Orr maybe she will just develop calluses?

I don't know why your response remains as funny as the first one I quoted.
i guess your option is better, they should remain the way they are and play tit for tat childish games for decades until one of them decides to let go of this madness (that was started by this very childish/immature woman).
Re: Complex Marital Issue : Your Thoughts On This Please. by simplesearch: 5:46pm On Sep 29, 2022
If you know how to manage life, by God's grace marriage won't be a big thing to manage. Pride and irrational decision emanating from one mistake or error commited by a partner and taken too far is the root cause of unaccounted divorce cases filling up our societies and courtroom. Couples must learn to tolerate each other and seek for one ultimate purpose which is to help each other get better. Yes, offenses either deliberate or not are bound to come, but should one offense be allowed to destroy long good years of togetherness?
@OP, the golden mistake you made was to block avenue for airing differences and resolving issues; which is communication. By so doing you create an atmosphere for suspicion and escalation of enmity.
I didn't know I wronged my wife this morning, but I got her text while in the office and immediately replied her with a very soft and sorry text. What if she blocked me because of an offense I wasn't even aware of? So we should learn to tolerate each other and do away with ego and pride in our families. In a relationship no one is doing each other favour, the man's role was assigned to him by God and vice verse, so we complement each other and that makes the difference.
Since you're the root cause of the whole quagmire, then you have to personally find a way to get to him wherever he is physically and sort things out with him amicably, since he longer picks your call. You can cry your cry and regain your pride later, once the process of reconciliation is completed, not by taken your pounds of flesh or seeking another opportunity for revenge but by asking him to pay you back for the long time of silence and you can as well bill him for desertion; Couples things you know. This is an experience and an eye opener, so next time you guys should learn to laugh over such matters.

The world does not revolve around you and your sister (family).

Over the past months, how many times have you called to speak to his family? Or...their lives don't matter?

And what is this game you people are playing sef? If I don't talk to my spouse in 2 weeks, then I'll naturally assume that the relationship is dead. You guys go months without talking and all that concerns you is your sister's fiance?

Are you in some kind of open marriage?
That is what you get when children find themselves in marriage
Re: Complex Marital Issue : Your Thoughts On This Please. by vikstandon(m): 5:47pm On Sep 29, 2022
I am not married... But make God no gree me act out this script between you and your husband.

You are two warriors in marriage.
How did you both come together... You can be in malice weeks to months.

I get my own for body but I am weakened after Day1 max 2days.

You can see the life some of this women are living. In relationship/marriage they think about themselves and their family alone
Re: Complex Marital Issue : Your Thoughts On This Please. by DaCharis2016: 5:49pm On Sep 29, 2022
Your husband is a principled someone like me, we hardly hurt people. And if we get hurt, it touches down on our souls, it destabilises us. But once the other party apologises, we can afford not to even remember the issue anymore, and finally let go.

And on your sister's fiance and their marriage, he's right on that. He can't come in when you haven't informed him about it properly. Though it's cos of the issue between u two.

You should try to get him on the line and apologise, so everything can fall back in place.

Goodluck.

You ignored your husband for the period of 9 weeks? That's 2 months and 7 days. You deserve all he's dishing to you now.

In all that even happened you were much interested in him not responding to your sister and her fiance. Damn!!!!

I would have filed for divorce in the first month of your stupid drama. The narcissist in me would never let me take you back. Nobody dare hurt my ego! Nobody!
Lol

I'd assume you are still a small boy or just talking out of proportion


You better don't marry then, if you can divorce when you and your spouse had issues even within a month.

You think people celebrating 50, 60, 70 years of marriage et al didn't go through difficulties or challenges right?

If everybody reason like you then no marriage will ever get to 5 years before going their separate ways

When no be say you catch man on top her head. Nawa o

Anyway, i pity who go marry your type

You shouldn't have used the word your boy sir!

This is one of the reason feminist are talking about. Even if you have all boys kids or just a kid which is a boy. You shouldn't have put it in such manner

You make it looks like you're only interested in a boy child

No harm intended

Gracias!
Most likely he was putting himself in their shoes and he has a son so he can relate that's why he said "my boy".

Perhaps the person sustaining their madness—her innocent husband with supernatural powers he tied to her knees and pleas—should be the one to end it.

As I said, if fantasy, the tale is justified. If reality, the advice will be dooming them.

What are you thoughts and opinion please.
do you want your husband to be the wedding planner for your sister's wedding?

You want your husband to be teaching your sister lesson because they studied same course?

Abi you want him to sponsor your sister wedding and sponsor her through school?

I've been starting quarrels with girlfriends, boyfriends and husbands for close to 20 years in my world, and they always forgive me. I still don't understand why.

Could it be ugly privilege? Do they not want to hurt me because they feel I'll turn around and say they're doing it because I'm ugly?

Or maybe I've not been with anyone so pigheaded and uninvested in a relationship to bear a grudge forever? Or have there only been simps in my life?

I don't know.

You could give your insight.

Keep you simpleton to yourself and your male children. And I pray you get a narcissist woman to enjoy their simpleton.

You need to start aplogising through calls, messages, voice notes.....yes you wronged your husband. Unfortunately he is not mature enough to forgive you and let go easily.

Satan is fighting marriages these days seriously lipsrsealed , such that you will see so much ego, anger, unforgiveness over minor issues, how much more serious offense.

Your husband seems all out to embarrass you among your family members and let them know there is a problem in the marriage.

This is the disadvantage of long distance marriage.
Appologise with speed.
Leave Satan out of this thing pls. They say we do name calling in this part of the world sef. I am quite sure we call God name, Satan/devil more than any other people of the world What is our problem?

Coupled with the fact that you are egocentric.
Keeping malice like a trophy.
If i were ur husband, i will relegate u to baby mama status.
How can ur husband have sexual feelings for you when u re filling his heart with sad memory.
Please what is wrong in being single mother or divorcee?

Your type are the reason why most Nigerian women keep dying in silence in marriage all in the name of virtuous woman.

You guys are too judgemental and you take pride in stigma

We all know she's completely wrong and she has been advised to look for means on how to make amendments

What's the fuss about being single mother or divorce? If they both go their separate ways then they are both single. Single father and single mother

Seriously Africans still have a long way to go truly
