I have to join this forum to post this tonight.

I'm in my early thirties, my husband is just two years older than me. My husband has always been neglecting his responsibilities even before we got married, but I was seeing it as he doesn't have a better job and a struggling guy whom we can both join hands together to build each other. I endured everything with him. I have always supported and provided without complain.
Since last year my husband lost his job, since then, he has refused to look for any other source of income. Even when he had a job, he always have one story or the other to tell about his monthly salaries. So, he still doesn't provide.
Once, there's nothing in the house, he will keep watching because I can't watch my two children Starve. I will try everything, even call friends, families and borrow. He doesn't care how I borrowed and how I paid.


Now, he wakes up every morning and still go back to sleep. Whatever I asked him, he don't always have. He's response always is ''I don't have money ''
I am the only one sourcing out everything in this house, I don't have a job as well, just struggling up and down with a business I do.

There's no food, school fees, bill, everything, he will ignore. I can't watch my children suffer. So, I keep struggling without any help. But he eats food and uses everything in the house with us. He wouldn't provide, but he can use them once they're available.
Our house rent will soon expire and he has no plan towards That. The previous one I paid, but presently, my business is down

Lately, I've been thinking. I've never cheated since I entered this marriage, but If I keep struggling all myself like this, my children will suffer. I feel, I need someone who loves me and willing to support me as well.
My children are too used to their father, it borders me if I separate them from him.

Leaving a marriage because he's not taking responsibilities, does that make me a bad woman?

What could make a man to be very comfortable not providing for his family but wouldn't want to loss the said family?

Have you ever been in my shoes, what would you advise me?



You can never know his pain until you're in his shoe, just because he was silent does not making him a lazy man you need to put your best together so that he can overcome [ when you cheat you have a regret you will nurse till end of your life ] prayer is the key

Just know if you continue you will do everything by yourself until the end of your lives. He will never change and he will never take on your responsibilities seeing as you’re taking his. Instead he will consider it insulting if you ask him to. So you’ll end up married but single. Decide what you want

Mothers are busy training lazy male children.

In my opinion, too much attention is being given to the ladies on how to be a good wife, but men on the other hand, are not being thought on how to become a better husband. Any unproductive young man, is advised to get a wife inorder for him to behave well, whereas, in most cases, he will later torment the woman.

They'll say if a lady demand for money while dating, she isn't a complete wife material. Imagine! It is only stingy broke a$$ men that makes the above statement. How can you claim you love a woman and find it difficult to spend on her?

Ladies pull your ear and repeat after me "i will never start what i cannot finish"

In as much as i believe in this saying "lets grow together " that doesn't mean you should act mumuishly all because of love. The lets grow together should be after marriage. You clearly saw that he was neglecting his responsibility even before marriage so what now makes you think he was going to change after marriage? When he sees you as his problem solver, desperado. Why should you even agree to such marriage in the first place? In this 22nd century where things aren't easy for an average income earners let alone a low income earner.

Now see innocent children you brought to this world to face the circumstances created by their parents. For the sake of those children, go and report him be it family members or human right or court. Where he'll be forced to get up and start acting responsibly by providing for the kids. Because if you divorce now, the responsibility will still be on you.

Or abi you have found a lover who is willing to accept and take care of you and the kids? Hmmm my sister don't believe any son of man who says he's gonna do that o. Let's face reality, no man will accept to shoulder another man's child/children responsibility knowing fully well their father is very much alive and kicking. Think twice o, before they turn you into an after two hook up mama.
in the labour market, people or to be more specific, men, don't get paid because they are in love. They get paid for work done. Stop promoting monetization of private parts.

Thinking of cheating will put you in a lot of agony later so I will advice you to not do that. First I hope you are on family planning because if this man impregnate you again it will be another sad story.
Try and talk to his family and also keep on encouraging him to find something to do. You can also suggest to him some business he can take up. You know things are very tough in d country. Many people dont even know the way forward to their life again.

Responses on this thread are one of the many reasons why men are pushed into doing ritual, fraud and other gory things in order to earn money. sad

All they care about is themselves and children. Nobody care about the man's wellbeing. If he die tomorrow, God forbid, what have the wife gained? Is being alive not enough reasons to be thankful and appreciative?

When he had a job, he was taking care of everything. But there's no job, what do you want him to do? Should he go and rob and burgle.

Everyone keep saying he can't take care of his children.. his children.. shebi the children are his? Oya let him carry one of the children and use to do ritual money. angry


All this your comment would have made sense if the guy was actively hustling for legit job.

Didn't he know what his purpose in life was before taking on the responsibilities of marriage and fatherhood? Are you men not the logical gender who know it all and don't need us or marriage, except to procreate only?

Now you need us to also hand hold, baby sit and give you purpose too grin. There is nothing I won't read from NL men. Are his hands broken or is his brain malfunctioning? That man is just a lazy free loader fortunate to have found a woman who is willing to play her role and play his role too. Don't make excuses for him!

His father is my first suspect. Unlike motherhood that comes naturally, fatherhood is bequeathed, takes a father to turn a son to a father. Fatherhood is nature's peak for every man.

There's no food, school fees, bill, everything, he will ignore. I can't watch my children suffer. So, I keep struggling without any help. But he eats food and uses everything in the house with us. He wouldn't provide, but he can use them once they're available.
Our house rent will soon expire and he has no plan towards That. The previous one I paid, but presently, my business is down

Lately, I've been thinking. I've never cheated since I entered this marriage, but If I keep struggling all myself like this, my children will suffer. I feel, I need someone who loves me and willing to support me as well.
My children are too used to their father, it borders me if I separate them from him.

Leaving a marriage because he's not taking responsibilities, does that make me a bad woman?

What could make a man to be very comfortable not providing for his family but wouldn't want to loss the said family?

Have you ever been in my shoes, what would you advise me?t

Madam, but you saw that red flag in bold and you allowed so-called love or the zeal to settle down becloud your reasoning.

Yes, there is no perfect marriage anywhere, but there are things that if not in place the marriage cant work E.g the man not taking responsibility. Even the holy book says "A man who cannot provide for his household is worst than an infidel". Let me warn some of our yet to be married ladies here, from the way a guy shows concern over your needs while dating gives a glimpse of how he will care when you settle down. I am not saying you begin to dump family needs on him but even if he doesnt have, from the way he feels if he doesnt have will show you he cares and wont fold his arm when the family is in need by the time you get married.

@Ops, take a break from him, seperate(not divorce)for 2 to 3 months. Keep in touch but dont support him financially.
Watch him and see if he changes.
Life is a gamble, his head may reset and he will wear his hustling shoes and hit the town to survive.
