Some women just wait on their husband to tell them what to do b4 they spring to action. I know some women that save the much they can and gradually buy home items without waiting for bulk money from the husband. What I am saying is that the mother inlaw would have giving her the necessary experience to build a gome |

Ahmed0336: I don't understand Nigerians. You justify accumulating wealth for your "unborn children". Even have a guy here who touted it as his primary reason for migration and made a lot of noise using that line. You mean the better life he claims he wants for himself and his children/lineage, they should leave his house and that good life to get theirs? What was he searching for and accumulating wealth for? Then when he dies what will become of his house using that logic? Was it not gotten for his "unborn children"? This is unsustainable not only for the environment, but in every other way. This is why there are haunted houses just sitting there. And this is why Nigerians are corrupt. The mentality is so consumerist it doesn't make sense. Africans are truly dark minded. 1 Like |

NikoDeBonAmi: Please wise up. Anyone who always stays under the shade of his family tree, will never plant his own. Your authority as a married man is limited, even that of your wife. |

If you are happy to continue to be treated like a child then continue but know that you are likely to loose respect from your wife and children since they will continue to approach the parents in the house which is not you. jmoore: |

Nice2023: The Same advise you give to women not to take is same thing women do , how many men live with their families? Go round the houses of married people whose relatives will you see around the home the wives or the husbands? I guess you know the answer is the wives, what you advice the women not to take is actually what the women do the most and what men take this is hypocrisy at it's peak. Women shouldn't be trapped but they can trap men by filling the home of the man with their relatives? For me anywhere that will bring peace and harmony in the family should be encouraged, if the man has no house of his own or his finances hasn't gotten to the stage of acquiring his own personal income no one should pile up pressure on him to relocate if their is a comfortable housing for him and his family. If you can't contribute to ease the stress on a man don't pile up new pressures on him. There is no single rule to achieving harmony at home, my only problem with most women is that what they cry foul of (probably caused by them) is what they are guilty of, the hypocrisy is mind blowing. 3 Likes |

Everything is wrong. If you cannot leave, do not cleave. One comes before the other. If you are too young to leave, then you are too young to cleave. |

LEARNPYTHON: Financial reasons for living with your parents after marriage are perfectly valid. However, painting it solely in this light risks overlooking the potential emotional tapestry woven into the decision. Perhaps you just cherish the closeness, enjoy the free babysitting (ahem, grandparental bonding), or simply revel in the delicious aroma of your mother's legendary pepper soup wafting through the halls. Love, convenience, and tradition all play on life's stage, not just the cold, hard cash. Your post also implies that parental disapproval lurks beneath the surface, even if unseen. But is that truly the case? Open communication, not assumptions, is the key to unlocking understanding. Perhaps your parents, wise souls they are, recognize your current situation and offer their support, financial or otherwise, with open arms (and maybe an extra plate of pepper soup). Every individual experiences situations differently, and what constitutes "fine" for one might be a recipe for disaster for another. Introspection and honest conversations with your loved ones are your guiding lights here. Now, to your final inquiry: my response stems from a potent blend of experience, observation, and a healthy dose of philosophical musing. Having witnessed countless relationships navigate the complexities of living arrangements, I've gleaned valuable insights. But ultimately, my role here is not to dictate but to illuminate, to offer perspectives and challenge assumptions. The tapestry of your life is yours to weave, and the decision of where to lay your head rests with you and your partner. 1 Like |

haybhi1: Flattery will get you everywhere, they say, but unfortunately, "everywhere" in this case doesn't include my dating pool. As much as I appreciate the offer to "mingle" and become a "useful" duo, your emoji game is a little strong for my current emotional bandwidth. It's like staring into the sun of romance, and frankly, my retinas can only handle so much sparkle. Now, if you're offering to be my wingman and point me towards someone with a more subtle emoji vocabulary, then we might be cookin' with gas (or should I say, "fire" with the appropriate emoji?). But otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to politely decline your invitation to become the next Bonnie and Clyde... of awkward online flirting. But hey, don't let me discourage you! There's a whole world of potential partners out there, each with their own unique emoji style. Just remember, sometimes less is more, and a well-placed wink can be far more effective than a double chin emoji. Good luck on your quest for love, emoji warrior! โ๏ธ |

@OP Everything is wrong with it: 1. Taking advise from a third party without the knowledge of the wife or husband will set in and that will cause gross misunderstanding between the couple. 2. Once there is misunderstanding your parents will take sides with you or vise versa 3. The married will not last sha. It will be ruined within months or years. 4. Donโt ever stay in your parents house when you are married. I hope that helps? |

JessicaRabbit:Your highly impressive writing style together with a high level of intelligence you demonstrated in the points you made makes me keep wondering if you're Chimamanda Adichie ๐ค. There's so much sense and food-for-thought in each and every sentence in your response. If you wrote a 1000-paged book, I could read it in a single sitting without getting tired. The depth and thoroughness of your analysis has led me to make an assumption about you and I would like to know whether I'm right or right: YOU ARE IRRELIGIOUS |

LEARNPYTHON: Ahem! (Adjusting monocle and puffing out chest dramatically) While I'm flattered by your comparison to the illustrious Chimamanda Adichie, I'm afraid I possess neither her wit nor her wisdom. As for your insightful deduction about my religious leanings, let's just say I'm as complex and multifaceted as a choose-your-own-adventure novel set in a theological debate. Perhaps I dabble in the divine like a mischievous cherub, flitting between philosophies and picking the tastiest intellectual morsels. Or maybe I'm an agnostic sphinx, guarding the riddles of existence with a playful paw. Who knows really? The beauty, however, is that you get to decide. My words are a canvas, and your interpretation is the brushstroke that brings them to life. So, feel free to paint me as irreligious, spiritual, or anything in between. As long as you find my responses thought-provoking and engaging, I've fulfilled my purpose โ to be a catalyst for your own intellectual journey. Remember, the most interesting minds are those that question, explore, and never settle for easy answers. |
