Hmmm, I have a friend whom his wife called police 3 times, police came twice search him and his property and stuff, nothing was found based on her allegations, third time she called police, husband brought out loads of video evidence and police asked why he didnā€™t show them the first time that they would have believe the wife in absence of evidence. Police evicted that lady and ask my guy if they want them to prosecute her for domestic violence but my guy said what will I tell my son that I send her mother to court/jail? Police told him to sign that he agreed not to take the matter up. Na the wife them evict for two weeks and she had been acting normal since then. As a man donā€™t hit or touch a woman, make sure you are doing the right thing. Make sure you have evidence to defend yourself for future.

Also, I find this country very depressing for couple partly cuz our expectations are high but left disappointed. We work so much that we forget to have time for each other cuz we got bills and responsibilities back home. All those little little outings for Naija is underrated. The accumulation of those bad feelings might cuz issues.

justwise:


His evidence matters when there is violence on both sides. Not only women suffer violence in this country, men do as well but too ashamed to speak out.

Una nor de fok? Funny as it may sound, but it is the truth. I don't know the cause of your quarrels though but I think if she say she doesn't like you ignoring her during such quarrels ...try to be the bigger person and don't ignore her. Never leave the house in anger or sleep over a quarrel. Sometimes just a hug and some knacks would resolve the whole issue. Also try to initiate moves to see the gynecologist if conceiving is an issue ...this is one of the causes of tension in newly weds. God bless your marriage.

Updated..
Before I forget ...you guys should sign up to go see a professional marriage counsellor that is if you try playing the bigger person to resolve the issue doesn't work out. Think of what she loves best, order it and get it delivered to her at work or at home. Ladies love surprises. Try to knack too ...inside kitchen or where she least expect in the house ooo grin

If the person just finished masters, didnā€™t they do IELTS to get admission? You can submit that.

Wow! Interesting. So because I reached out to you as per your gracious offer to unmask yourself based on personal experience and I replied with my feelings (or my own truth) and even told weā€™re seeking professional counselling and you ghosted me afterwards means Iā€™m not ready to listen to good advice (or validating my own thoughts).

Sorry Sir, that someone whoā€™s 50% of a union dare voice out his fear and trepidation.
1. Created an anonymous account
2. I took advice on physical separation to avoid a repeat.
3. Opened up regarding my fears
4. Listened to your personal account and experience

But God forbid that me that saw my eyes flash before my eyes should open up and tell you what doesnā€™t align with your personal view. You kept on pushing that Iā€™m not a saint and madam is not all bad, even though I owed up to the causing emotional pain. You donā€™t know if I have ADHD or any condition which prevents me from fulfilling the emotional needs etc.

But because I must accept your advice hook line and sinker, even at the risk of OUR personal safety and long term viability, Iā€™m thus ā€œinterested in validating my own thoughtsā€.

Well done sir.

PS - thanks all for your comments/suggestions. We will seek professional help (from a distance) and follow the process. May God help all of us.

Hang in there....

Fact is many coming in via care route would in 5 years be better off than the a good number paying thousands for masters. The introduction and success of psw has shown that the economic viability of many masters programmes is the 2 yr work opportunity they give. In the end, most migrants pay in search of a better life.
Also remember with care your visa fees are less, sponsorship more liberal and you don't have to pay IHS.

There are bottle necks, but know your strengths and leverage.
If married, you can seek any sponsored role job in the NHS. The NHS has good maternity leave allowance and pay. Most of your 5 years (before ilr) could be spent on mat leave. Your partner OTOH, would have the free room to work wherever. With certain roles, he could set up and work via a limited company which is significantly more tax efficient when planned well.

If single, maximise that and don't be hesitant to move (even outside). Most masters students would pick up jobs in the towns they live. You could move to other counties with more need. Irrespective of the poor pay, with care you can work virtually unlimited hours with your main sponsor - an opportunity many other roles lack. You could target less stressful roles. The visa numbers might soon be culled and vacancies would reappear. Looks for ways to upskill- there are an increasing number of opportunities which keep opening up e.g teaching recently. You could work your way from a carer to a HCA to a nurse. Now, there is a push towards apprenticeship and folks can work as a HCA and at same time train to be a nurse (visa limitations might apply). In mental health, work is less and pay is more. You can better target your approach once in the system. Network and very importantly, have a driven clique of friends.

This country has opportunities. Target them.


Please how can a Nigeria train staff nurse/midwife already in the UK as a student dependent get a specialize training in mental health or acute care?

I'm not aware of the full nitty gritty but there are licensing exams to be sat. With medical fields, the pathways are pretty much out in the open. He/she could reach out to colleagues already practicing. Also, there is a NL page for nurses looking to emigrate to the UK which has good breadth of knowledge.

It's not had any effect on my marriage (yet)...... Almost 25 years and still waxing strong........ It's all about commitment, dedication,compromise, setting goals and achieving them, going on couple holidays, spending that 1 day wisely etc etc etc ......

Nothing good, comes easy ....... Couples have to be understanding and work together, not pull apart......

This UK is difficult enough, let's not make it more difficult for ourselves......
