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?

Sorry

Seems like you were expecting marriage to automatically change your wife from the person she has always been.
Are you indirectly telling us she hid all these traits of hers from you when you both were dating (if you both even dated) or most likely you saw signs of these traits but ignored them.

You will have to keep enduring this...Yes
Maybe one day... just maybe... your wife could come around and do as you desire.
Unless you want your marriage to crumble.

Who told you not to prepare yourself b4 marrying a rich man's daughter??

Somebody that cam from a rich home you're now trying to bring her level down with your average lifestyle. Am not insulting you o, but my point is that you should have known better that rich men's children behave that way whenever they get married to someone below their class.

And don't even think the family help you by talking to their daughter, they'll continue to make you feel inferior in that marriage because you're not their level. Is only your wife that can cover up for you.

Maybe they want you to help their daughter cover the marriage space. Did she even love you at all b4 you decided to married to her?

It would've been okay to "sit as lord and master over his wife" if he had the financial means?

Since he isn't rich enough, then he doesn't deserve the respect he craves. You see, such mentality is just as poor as a poor man.

I do appreciate your point that he should've been prepared for the direction his union with this woman would go. In fact, I think he shouldn't try to restrain the woman and I've already said so in an earlier comment.

But I can smell disdain for the poor in your comment. All this man is asking for is for his wife to not have a habit of airing his inadequate financial capability to his wife's family. I think that's very understandable, even if he's wrong. It's neither ego not lording and mastering over his wife. But your comment implies he has no right to feel embarrassed because he's not wealthy enough to match his wife's family. To that, I disagree.


Kobojunkie:
Having an ego has nothing to do with respect. If OP had respected himself from the start, he would not have gotten himself into this situation expecting it all to go his way --- for him in his poverty to sit as lord and master over a wife from a rich family. Op let his ego lead him and now he is letting the same ego attempt to ruin his marriage. undecided

Respect is better earned, not bought. He had originally planned to "buy" her respect with his money but that backfired. A reasonable person would have learned from that rather than continue to insist she must admire him for what he is able to buy for her in his poverty. undecided

2. I have no disdain for the poor, I just think this is a poor man with a major ego issue, an issue that may eventually ruin what seems a good and "lucky" union that he has going for him. undecided

He had originally planned to "buy" her respect with his money but that backfired.

Are you certain he was trying to buy her respect and admiration? Maybe he was been romantic with his own wife? Oh well, he's too poor to even buy the rich man's daughter some poor gift that don't measure up.

A reasonable person would have learned from that rather than continue to insist she must admire him for what he is able to buy for her in his poverty.

Chai. You keep using that phrase "in his poverty, and yet you say you have no disdain for the poor. Anyway, just chai. It's not about the quality of the gift, you know. It's the gesture. I think a man should pray for a woman that will appreciate a gift for the gesture instead of weigh the quality of the gesture by the quality of the gift. I know very well some women from rich families too will even appreciate the gift more than million dollar diamonds just because of who the gift came from.

He's "lucky", indeed, but he's still a man, period. That's my point. He's still entitled to his feelings, whether he's wealthy or not. The fact he isn't wealthy doesn't invalidate his embarrassment.

ivolt:

He probably overspend himself into poverty by trying to financially compete with his wealthy in-laws.
His ego will also not allow him accept life-changing help from his in-laws. This is a clear example of self-sabotage.

If the story is true:

Life changing help is not N250k wrist watch or changing a car to a more expensive one.

Life changing help is introducing the OP into the family business or getting him a very good job so he can take care of their sister to their taste.

While the story might be false, I think everyone should marry at their social level. You both would understand yourselves.

If the OP's family was also rich and giving expensive gifts, he would not feel it and probably hound his in-laws for his own and vice versa.

While it is easy to say he is 'ungrateful', every husband/wife wants to feel adequate in running their homes and families as they deem fit.

It is this type of interference from MILs that also makes the DILs complain.

She was spoilt by her family even before marriage

So I think you should just do what you can and leave the rest

If they want to open any business for her, let them go ahead

Just maintain normal relationships with her family and don't feel less a man if they dont involve you with their plans
You can't even fight them

The only issue here is her calling to her family for financial assistance

I don't think there is any issue if her family wants to raise her up by empowering her

Though I think they should carry you along

How did you transition from buying your wife a car and a wristwatch worth 75k to giving her 3k to cook for you and your two kids?

If your story is true (which I 100% doubt), then you have a bigger problem on your hands - the problem of financial stup*dity.


In 2023, a married man who afford to buy a car and expensive wrist watch for his wife is giving her 3k to cook for a family of four. How much do you spend in the market for beef alone, fish alone, tomatoes, egusi etc alone. He seems not ready. I do spend at least 30 to 40k to cook 3 to 4 soup at once, knowing it's cheaper to buy in bulk and not one one. Even fried rice or jollof rice alone would consume over 10k, unless it's not standard. And the fact is that the money is accounted for.

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.

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?

I do not dispute this even for one moment. But to emasculate your husband to feed your excesses, well, you're who you are.
No one emasculated him since he must have observed all of this before the marriage. He instead needs to find other ways to define his "masculinity" in his marriage if that is at all necessary. Money definitely aint gonna be it since his wife is about to get her own business. So he needs to "prove" himself some other way, deal with his insecurities, or divorce the woman. undecided
