God... How did we get here??

How did Men become so weak that they can't even control their own home... God.. Why are men of today so weak??....

OP.. Send her back home to be with her brothers until she learns contentment because from the look of things you can't control your marriage.

Other than giving a stern warning, you are begging her to stop. If you don't stamp your feet, she will keep taking you for a ride... But come to think of it, did you court before marriage??

Like you saw all these red flags and went ahead to marry her...


He be like say u never date girl from a rich home b4.
That girl will never back down, that's the way they were raised.
The marriage would rather crash than give in to penury demands of her husband.
It's will be sooo difficult for his wife to see things from his own perspective because the husband's reasoning can never make sense to her.
It's not her fault, she's from a wealthy home.

1. You want a woman who was raised in a rich home to come and experience poverty with you? Was that some sort of agreement you both made when you got married that you would both live solely off your money and not a dime from her own family money? undecided

2. The business they are planning to open is for her, abi? Not for you? Why should they INCLUDE you in the plan? She is from that family so should she not at least get her share of the family money for herself or something? undecided

3. When you were dating her, did you not notice this same thing about her? undecided

The kind of whiny cry babies we have as men today ehn! Tufia! Marry a poor girl, he'll come and whine that she and her family wants to kill him with billings. Oya marry a rich girl, he will come and whine that her family is taking over his responsibility and making him feel less than a man. What exactly do you men want?

Now oga op, you gave your wife 3k to cook food for yourself, herself and 2 kids as per magician wey she be. What kind of food is 3k supposed to cook? Should she starve because she's married to you when she knows she has a financially comfortable family that can bail her out? Would you have preferred if she had gone to her ex, or one toaster eyeing her on the streets for support? You should be happy you're married to a woman from a comfortable supportive family.
what if they just using the OP to procreate before discarding him? Imagine in the event of quarrel, the in-laws decide to use their wealth to move the children to another country like has played out elsewhere before now.

Don't try to compete with her family. Don't put yourself under any pressure. Since they want to open a business for her, then that means they recognize that the burden is not what you can bear alone. As much as you may feel that they should have involved you in their plans, don't over react. That's one of the challenges of marrying up the ladder. Just keep doing your best

My wife calls her family for everything, once I'm broke she calls her mother to send her food items, I have begged her to stop, I have gotten angry yet she said she can't be hungry in a man's house when there's excess in her parents house, my wife can't manage 3k to cook for me, a family with just 2 kids, she'll call her elder brothers and tell them I gave her 3k to cook immediately they will send money for her.

Can't a woman water down her taste to keep her marriage? They don't insult me but I feel not man enough, I feel less of myself, my wife is from a rich home and the house we are living is a wedding gift from her brothers, she's an only daughter and they over pamper her, they don't allow her ask twice.

I remember I bought a car for her when she delivered our first child my brother in-law knew about it before the car arrived cause I ordered through his company, he changed the car to something twice the one I could afford without my knowledge, when they brought a car to the house I said this isn't what I ordered my brother in-law said their Ada can't be seen driving such after marriage.

They are planning to open a business for her and they didn't involve me in the plan, my marriage is not what I wanted cause I feel like I'm not man enough.

My wife doesn't appreciate gifts from me like when it's from her family, I got her a 75k watch she said thank you and for months she didn't use it, I had to remind her that there's a watch I gave her, but when one of her brother sent her a watch worth 260k she danced and used it always.

How do I handle this?

poor man marrying a rich girl must always surfer what you are surfering.
Had it been you are richer than her family, I swear they will call you for everything they want to do in their house not even your wife.

A woman is helping you and you are complaining? Oga, the 3k is small , it shows you really don't have much but I wonder how you take use 75k buy watch for her when you can't drop 10k for cooking.
However, It's obvious that is her life style, she doesn't want to suffer and the brothers are willing to help, just act like you are not seeing them

3k for a family of 4 and you want her to cover his shame? Somebody that comes from a well to do family should deprive her children of good food because of shame? That is not wisdom itโ€™s foolishness. Granted she shouldnโ€™t rub it in her husbands face, but no matter what he will feel inferior because heโ€™s not financially stable. Thatโ€™s his cross to carry because he knew the lifestyle she lived before they got married.

Pls, can you recite the marriage vow?

He got her a car. He gave her a wristwatch worth 75k. If he now gives her 3k to cook, that's to tell that not everyday is like a festival day. Something that many of you are personally experiencing, you would still pretend like you didn't know what's up.

โ–  Bruv you saw the signs before marriage but chose to ignore. The biggest turn off for me in any relationship is family and action.
While I love family, I only want a lady who's capable of making her decision void of family. If we're broke, can we still find a way out together? My eyes are wide open to the various maneuvers..
Well, since you're in it...you're in trouble. Fortunately, it's not a trouble that has no solution. First, get an elderly clerical counselor involved.

....
Correction... OP is broke does not mean his wife is broke. The issue here is when OP is broke, his wife is able to dig into her resources in order to fill up the gap. undecided

Very much possible. And he won't be able to do anything about it. His saving grace is not to fight his own wife.

It is called respect. But for me, as long as his wife informed him and carried him along, that should be enough.

Brother, I understand you want to be in charge which is normal for responsible guy, but your case is different, your wife family has it all and they can not close eyes and not take care of their sister. Since she is not using it against you and her family are not complaining, I think you should use your energy to build yourself up and stop complaining. Learn to overlook and ignore most of these things you mentioned. You didn't mention that she's rude. Focus on building yourself and allow her to enjoy her family in peace. The day you start to ignore, peace becomes your identity because she will never stop. You want her to manage when there is abundance, it is not possible. You can not choose suffer when there's excess somewhere. Face important things

How do I handle this? I won't advise someone from a humble background to marry over pampered rich kid, the only girl for that matter, no matter what, she will not understand where you are coming from because she has never suffered in her life. I believe you knew this before marrying her so I suggest you work harder to give her everything she wants.
I guess this is the reason why the rich like marrying the rich.
