Giftedhands45: This is the problem you people have. Do you know that that ready made man you want to go squat with will only take you on merely sympathy and will never make much sacrifices for you? Do you also know that the new man you are running to to probably rob your bad luck on may still loose all his money too and fall? But then he will treat you worse than your first husband. Go and meet someone in your husband's family you can trust and he respects that is doing well. Report your husband to him although your husband will be mad with you but that's nothing after back and forth someone in the family may profer help in the end. Secondly, you have to gird up o! Hustle more now. Don't worry with time everything will be fine. |

olamilarks:So, the current suffering those kids are having to endure as is with their father not holding up his end of the marital bargain is what? Nothing? Marriage is meant to be an agreement between a man and a woman — a partnership. OP says she has been the one carrying the partnership for head since the beginning while the husband has mostly existed as a mooch off of her. School fees, rent, groceries, etc. are covered by the woman alone, and she is without work while her husband does nothing. clearly, she has worked hard on the marriage and finally admits things aren't going anywhere. Of what value is your prayer though? You do know that God only answers the prayers of the righteous — the prayers of the unrighteous are an abomination to God. So, saying you prayed for wisdom for the lady amounts to a self-aggrandizing bullsheet as an unrighteous. 1 Like |

Acidosis:Don't even go there. Unemployment has been there before I was born. As population soars, unemployment follow suit. Especially in countries like Nigeria. The problem is that majority of Nigerian men( graduates) feel some certain jobs are not for them. A woman can finish school and start sales girl and yes, she has her family to take care of. It was here that most guy were insulting Nigerians abroad cos according to them they will rather die hungry in Nigeria than go abroad and start cleaning poo but I'm sure men from such countries who do such jobs do that with joy. A d when those cleaning this poo send money to them, they will accept with hands wide open. The problem is bloated ego with duck brain. 2 Likes |

About 11 years ago I was like your husband. Not necessarily out of a job but I wasn't earning enough to get by myself talk more of taking care of a family the way it should be. Wifey lives in another state while I live in Lagos and she earned about twice my take home and was actually good to go. But women don't like paying bills. A man can pay 100% of the bills and nobody will hear a word but once a woman pays a percentage, the entire world hears about it. As for me, by the time I was done with my rent in Lagos, power, tfare to work and tfare to go visit her and back, I was flat broke I must have appeared to her how your hubby appears to you now. The difference between myself and your hubby perhaps is that I knew I wasn't doing well and was looking for ways to balance the equation. So I would buy little food stuffs, cook, wash and clean up when I visit. Or I would find someone in that area to do the washing and pay her 700 bucks back in those days. I tried always to balance the equation. Wifey wasn't happy about the whole arrangement though. Here I will digress, young financially unstable men must never assume that a lady loves them enough to bear financial insecurity with a child. She will swear that she will manage. But once a child comes!...forget it man, you will be harassed. Back to the tale, she wasn't happy and would say nasty things. I had grown up in a happy home and never knew that a wife could say such things to her husband. It was such a sad situation for me. I wasn't a dunce or irresponsible, things just hadn't set yet, I was just a young dude 2 years out of NYSC. Here again, I will digress. When I want to take any action, I will always ask myself; what's the purpose of this action? What's it's value? What are the potential consequences? That's because I have a long memory and I assume that people do too. If you kick me when I am down, I will never forget. These are questions that you may care to ask yourself. Anyone reading this might think that this happened for a long period. No it didn't, it was just for about a year that I tried to get my feet under me. By the time my little boy was past one year, I could pay for his creche, buy nearly all the food stuffs and pay for other stuffs in my second home. But I never forgot the kicking when I was down. It made it very difficult for me to get over slights from wifey. Fast forward to today, 11 years afterwards. I have a bit of money to my name. A lot more than a bit perhaps. Wifey and I are going through a divorce. All the slights I just couldn't bring myself to forget have come to a head and I was just done. I have seen what it will be like with her if I am down and it is just not a bearable thought. My sex plug are 2 single mothers like you intend to be...so beware. It is unlikely that I will remarry presently. I have no desire to create half brother/sister issues for my kids. So I will ask you, what is the value of kicking your husband when he is down? There are too many poorly raised people here telling you things you don't need to hear. You can identify them by their choice of words; useless, broke as men, stupid etc they frequently say. They are usually unable to think beyond tomorrow. Maybe a week. They are rarely married and perhaps will not and have scores to settle with men. They want to copy western countries. Unfortunately they usually don't read well enough to find out the consequences; such as the collapse of the family unit in those countries and the recent study stating that by 2030, about half of American women between 25 and 45 may never marry because their men don't want them, and will rather go abroad to look for wives or stay unmarried. Or that marriages are best constructed in the traditional sense and always last longest anywhere in the world, in that structure (they appear to love to talk so much about woke ideologies) It is sad that you are in this situation. I remember though that back in the day, our mothers plugged up financial holes when our dad's were not on their A game. And guess what, people rarely knew! They even told the kids that the money came from their dads! Good old days. Before social media, before low quality education that has reduced the average IQ of Nigerians to 71 and rendered them unable to face life's challenges without taking the apparently easy way out. Your situation is really sad. I know how you must feel. Perhaps you can let it all play out and see how it goes, perhaps you can opt out...But do not kick your hubby now that he is down. It never serves any purpose. I wish you wisdom. Giftedhands45: 8 Likes 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: Who beats the child? The husband or the wife ? I’ve had my fair share of experience and I’m grateful to God. Sometimes the husbands try to cover up for their wives and even treat these kids. If they can’t treat their own kids that way then why treat another person’s? It’s sheer wickedness please not transferred aggression. |
Re: Leaving A Marriage Because He's Not Taking Responsibilities, Make Me Bad? by lomaxx: 6:24pm On Jun 06, 2023 |
Kobojunkie: I can make a reasonable assumption that no one initiates a temporary separation without a plan. It is a classical scenario where the party initiating is trying to hedge their bet against being further involved as a couple. There are several indicators of marital failure and any type of separation is one of them. Anyone who says they’re doing some temporary separation to “clear their head” is just being economical with the truth. |

unbiased2021:1. Both because these atrocities have to be sanctioned by both for them to take place. 2. The only reason a husband would try to cover up such wickedness is if he too sees nothing wrong with it. 3. If the absence of house help, women have been known to take the aggression out on their own kids, or for instance, a step-child in the home. 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: I sympathize with anyone that has to make a choice between parenting their kids as a single parent or with their spouse. Hopefully, decisions made can turn out to be (at least) beneficial for some parties. Typical case of winning some and losing others. Everyone should ensure to lay a solid foundation for good parenting. Requires conscious effort from both sides. 1 Like |

nairalanda1: It's a one sided story. Have you heard the man's side? Women will paint any story to make them look like they're the victim. Women have taken over so many jobs men used to do before. Go to offices, civil service and banks and schools, over 80% of the staff are women. They're taking all the jobs and still complaining their husbands are jobless. They still want a man to be running from pillar to post to earn to give them additional money. The entitlement mentality is too much. I often wonder what is the essence of female education when at the end of the day, they will still be looking up to a man to take care of them? let them resign from their jobs en-mass and stay at home so there will be more vacancies for men. The way the economy is now, I can't blame any jobless man. You can't eat your cake and still have it 3 Likes |

lomaxx:In order to do what you have there — bold— one first needs to understand what good parenting is about, right, something that does not automagically come with having kids or being married. So, there you have the problem. Society focuses a great deal on marriage and childbearing, but not so much energy is spent understanding what good parenting is about and how to go about laying those solid foundations you speak of. 1 Like |

Giftedhands45: Relax my sister because so many women are wearing this same shoe I think for now, stop having kids to reduce the future load on you If your rent expires, look for just one room self contain if you can afford that or oay for the rent Let all of them pack along with you including your husband Stop expecting things from him since he has swore never to have or struggle to have Face your children and be there for them Buy few food stuff that will serve a meal at home and cook just little, give him the same little portion your give your children and eat same portion.. Start seeing yourself as married but a single mother Dont keep money or count money in his presence he will assume you have enough If he ask you for anything tell him that you don't have, keep singing that to his ear so that he will stop asking from you So far he is not violent or harsh on you, keep on keeping on Stop telling him to get something doing, just be looking at him let him be the one to advice himself When he realizes that the food portion is small and he can't get anything from you, he will dust his shoes The more you spend the more he will become a lazy man You don't have to leave the marriage because he doesn't take responsibilities, but once he starts treating you like a rag, find your way He is too young to be dodging his responsibilities Rock your would and be happy for your self 2 Likes |

He even told her that, the reason he got married to her was bcus he thought they family will give him money to start up a business.
