She hasn't seen her dad for more than 10 years and counting, he was In another state, the day of our traditional marriage (February) was when she and her biological sisters saw him last. He was seriously sick, since February until he gave up the ghost today. He was in town ever since they brought him to collect the bride price, seriously sick. Since February until date my wife and her sisters none went to see him, not even once, they claimed he abandoned them when they were young, that whenever they went to visit him he'd lock the protector and talk to them inside while they're standing outside. I repeat since February until date they haven't set their eyes on him despite the fact that he was seriously sick and in same town with them.

That aside whenever my wife is disturbing me and I reminded her that I'm a loner and loves being alone, she'd get furious and always tell me that I'd die a very slow, lonely and painful death. This words still ring a bell on my head, and thinking about how they totally abandoned and hates their dad because their mother hates him is another thing that'd make me take her threat seriously.
Bros o, do you not know manipulation when you see it?

You lacks manners, wisdom and humility, that is all I can tell you.

Save this post today, you will regrets your action someday.
I won't regret anything, you think I'd have reacted in such a rude way and manner if my mind is still in the marriage?? Of course I won't, my mind is no longer in it and I'm hoping and praying heavily for what transpired yesterday to be the deal breaker that'd make me get back my bride price.

Good evening Nairalanders, few months ago I posted here regarding how my wife forced me into marriage that I wasn't in anyway ready for because she got pregnant. I posted about the regret I'm still battling until date, because the love isn't there from my own end and I'm also not in anyway attracted to her physically. I have told her severally that I want to option out of the marriage and not doing again but until date she has refused to let me go.

Back to the main point, my wife lost her dad this morning. Her deceased dad has two wife's and several concubines that gave birth to lots of children, my wife doesn't know some of her half brothers and sisters.

So I went to their family house this morning to console them. The eldest son of the family (her half brother) told me and another in law that we'd be the one to pay for mortuary expenses and casket, and when the burial is getting closer they'd give us a list of things to buy and we'd both bring one goats each.

To be brutally honest I wasn't mad because of this latest expense, I got furious immediately and right on the spot because of the pressure my wife pressured me into getting married to her, by now I'd have been totally free of these unnecessary expenses. More than 19 of her sisters, both biological and half sisters that has given birth, no single expense was listed for their man that they got pregnant for and has a child for. But I and the other in law that paid dowry are the one going through these unnecessary expenses.

So immediately he told me about everything, I charged at my wife right on the spot, right in front of her mom, her brothers, her sisters and some of her friends that came for condolence visit. I got so furious and started shouting at the top of my voice, I reminded her how she forced me into marriage that I'm not in anyway prepared and ready for, both physically, psychologically, emotionally, financially. (I have been reminding her regarding this almost on a daily basis and whenever we are quarreling.

I reminded her how she threatened me with suicide and our of fear of the unknown I wasted almost 4m in getting married to her. I told her that I'd have been free of these expenses if not for her pressure.

Immediately she burst into tears, and started crying endlessly.

Her mom and sisters started yelling at me and I yelled back at all of them. They told me I met her a Virgin and now she's no longer good for me (truly, the whole family thought that I was the one that took her virginity) My wife and I agreed to keep it a secret, but the constant remainder from her mom and sisters made me let the cat out of the bag, I told them that I didn't met her a Virgin that she has already started having sex when I met her, they didn't believe me but with my tone, I know they'd.

I also made mentioned that I'm not buying any goat or paying for mortuary or taking any list from them. That it's their dad and they should take care of every responsibilities, after all he has uncountable children, why putting some of the expense on me? I walked away, and switched off my phone until now that I'm just putting it on.

I know that I acted wrongly and allowed my anger to get the best part of me. But I was furious because no single bill went to her sister's baby father's, absolutely nothing was listed for them. I got furious because these expenses won't be on me right now if not for her pressuring me into marriage that I want ready for. I was furious because I and the other in law that they billed became the scape goat by doing the right thing by getting married and not leaving theirs daughter In ruins, where as those that got their daughter pregnant without getting married to them were totally free from these unnecessary bills. I'm in so much pains and regret right now.

But why on earth will you marry someone you don’t love ❤️?
So you are going to spend the rest of your life regretting your decision.. wow and unhappy for life.

That how my ex tried to make me to Marry her out of self pity I told her I am not going to live the rest of my life regretting why I marry you . I just end the relationship.

Unwanted pregnancy shouldn’t be a reason to go into marriage.

Good luck with your unhappy life .
My advise just leave her and run away to start a new life.
Thank you, leaving her won't be easy but I will fight tooth and nail for this to become a reality. I haven't been happy ever since I got married, not even one day of love, laughter and happiness.

Always sad, I love sleeping alone in the other room than sleeping on same bed with her, I love cuddling but barely touch her whenever I sleep on same bed with her, the marriage is also sex less. I barely get an erection starring at her totally naked body, but would get an instant and strong erection while driving and seeing my spec of a lady on bike or walking along the road.

My brother if you cares to listen, you did wrong , that their tradition other sisters of hers are not traditionally married and they cannot be tasked or asked to bring something. You must perform your traditional duties and there a lot of benefits and also there also consequences. Act wise
He doesn't have to do anything...his responsibility is to his immediate family.

..they should go and bury their father with what they have instead of irrationally trying to do what they can't afford by inconveniencing another human being..

Respect is reciprocal....the could have asked for his support in a kind way....instead of making rash demands as if they put money his pocket ..

....someone is being exploited by lazy, dirty, inlaws and all u could do is further blackmail him guy with empty consequences.....

Oga economy is not smiling....nobody should harass anybody with their own personal shiits

You don't need to be afraid of anything, whether you do it or not, it will not affect you spiritually, all those are empty threats. Culture kor, tradition ni,, nothing will happen to you. But if you have money, just use it to support your wife family.
I'm concerned about you not loving your wife,, see eeh life is too short to live in regrets everyday, you may be forced to take your life one day because of loneliness and lovelessness. If you don't love her, set her free and set yourself free too.
BlindAngel:
Exactly what a friend told me this morning.

But they're claiming that it's their culture and traditions and that's how it is. I really wish to know if not donating or giving a dime would affect me spiritually, that's my only fear right now since they said it's their tradition.

You should have respected her a bit, the outbursts are not needed in this critical time that her dad is dead. She needs you for comfort and peace , you can tell the family the extent you can assist financially without degrading her worth before her people.

You did wrong. Despite you don't love her , she's a human with feelings. I can't imagine being reminded how I'm not needed constantly by my husband, she's going through a lot.

Be kind or rather seek a divorce if you can't stand the marriage anymore.
he said he cannot assist in anyway..na by forced!

In any family burial expenses are shared among males children and inlaws, in my own tribe urhobo if you had not pay your girl dowry you will not even be allowed to attend the burial because nobody knows you as inlaw. The only problem is dat you never love your wife and don't want to spend your money on her so you decided to disgrace her for her family because you were told to bring money for Your wife father in-law burial.. you no try at all why will you even married a woman you don't love for the first place.

Please enlighten me so I would know what to do and not acting out of ignorance. Is the list or goat compulsory? Because a friend told me that the only thing in laws are mandated to take care of is the digging of the grave. I really wish to know if the list or goat is compulsory, most especially the list because only heaven knows what they intend heaping on it for me to buy.
What are your own parents saying in all of these?

You didn't act right. You should not have let your emotion get the best of you. It has happened. I think you apologies to every concerned party.

In most Nigerian culture,especially south and east, at the death of father/mother in law, everybody have a role to play, including, the husband of the legally married children of the deceased man/woman. It is big deal. It is the pride of every married woman. This is one of the things we don't get of know when walk into marriage.

In as much as I am not support of the culture, It's our reality we have to accept. Everybody people have there their culture too that are obnoxious. I would advice you you and your co in law and make the purchase of whatever is in the list. I won't advice you buy it yourself. Give them the cash equivalent, it will give you the room The bargain with them so you can pay a lesser amount

Finally, If you are no longer in for the marriage. File for divorce and let everybody go there way. I feel it's the best thing to do.

I read ur story and I am laughing at u...u are such a joke
U didn't want to marry her
She forced u
Can u really listen to yourself
What bullshit are u spewing
My dad died last year
Till date my inlaw didn't call me to say he heard my dad died
Not to talk of money
Look the others are baby fathers
They don't have to pay anything
U are the one recognized by tradition
U and the other one who paid bride price
So they are right
All u need to do is take the list and do the needful
U can't go around this with anger
Be a man
U are a father to their nephew or niece

Oga you should be ashamed of yourself. Did they tell you to buy drinks, buy food etc for your in-law's burial? I'm from Edo and it's the custom to do izoton immediately after the burial has been concluded. The burial planning has nothing to do with you but there are certain things like buying yams, a goat that can only be carried out by the SIL not even a cohabiting partner with children. If in doubt ask questions from people who come from where your wife is from and do the needful. Once that is done nothing stops you from divorcing if that's what you want. Head to a customary court and file for divorce.

I'm married mind you and my in-laws know I'm not a weak man that can be manipulated and they respect me because of that. And that's how they equally earned my respect because they maintain their lanes.
You don't give me nonsense and neither can you manipulate me or gaslight me.

I'm 30, I got married to her 9 months ago, I was 29 then.

It'd be difficult and nearly impossible for me to end the marriage, she isn't in any way ready to let go. The only condition she has accepted for the marriage to come to an end is the fact that we'd both still be fully together after returning her bride price which I rejected, anything short of this she'd become a tigress whenever I talks about the discontinuation of the marriage.
First conduct a DNA test on the child since you didnt meet her as a virgin.Next time never sleep with a woman you can never marry.

As a man,i practised No sex before marriage and married the love of my life ,we are stilll waxing strong after 25 years of togetherness.Met my wife as a virgin.

It is better to seperate instead of living a cat and dog life,think of the innocent boy brought into this mess with no fault of his own.You guys can coparent.Find the one you love and let her find the one who loves her.Life is too short to live in an unhappy home.You can relocate to another part of the city.

Even when you seperate please make sure you take care of the little boy's upkeep.He didnot ask for this kind of mess.

I pity you because you don't know exactly what you're doing. I'm tempted to ask " How old are you?" What you're doing is clear display of irresponsibility, she didn't force you into any marriage, you perfectly walked into it hence you should boldly walk out since that's what you want or stop complaining like a child and wake-up to reality. Lastly, stop feeding your wife's mind with constant negativity because when it will backfire you'll most definitely be a goner. Feel free to reach me on 07043130410. I think you need deep counseling, and I'll love to help you in my little way by advising you and staying with you through this time. Mind you, I'm also a married man with a family.

My wife has been the one holding me back, she's not ready to let go. I told her that she should at least get some dignity, someone doesn't want you but you're forcing yourself on him. That most women in her shoes would have walkes away without blinking an eye, due to the constant humiliation and disrespect, but still she isn't in anyway ready to let go.

She told me that she's ready for me to return the bride price but we'd still be together, which I plainly rejected.
Your outburst was as a result of the frustrations of your marriage. It may be high time you consider finding love elsewhere. The life you live is yours and no one should force themselves on you in the name of marriage.

I got furious because these expenses won't be on me right now if not for her pressuring me into marriage that I want ready for. I was furious because I and the other in law that they billed became the scape goat by doing the right thing by getting married and not leaving theirs daughter In ruins, where as those that got their daughter pregnant without getting married to them were totally free from these unnecessary bills. I'm in so much pains and regret right now.
1. You are justified in your feelings.
2. You should have controlled your emotions
3. She is human. She cooks for you, and do house chores for you and your baby. Respect her for that. If you continue like this, you will mess up her psychology and she will end it all by poisoning you
4. Because you married her traditionally, you are binded by that and obligated to carry out the traditional burial rites for her father. Don't play with tradition.
5. Nobody should force you into marriage young man. Not for any reason.
6. If you don't want the marriage, leave it at once. You are killing yourself by building hate in your heart every damn day. One day you will snap and kpie your wife. Nobody is above that.
7. You did no wrong knacking her. She intentionally got pregnant for you. Don't feel bad about that. Love your child.

Stay strong champ. Control emotions next time.
Re: My Wife Family Mounting Their Father Burial Expense On Me, How I Reacted At Once by BadBradley: 6:55am On Nov 14, 2024

As I'm talking to you right now, they are saying all manners of words, that I disrespected them and the they won't pity me with the list they'd give me.

That aside, to be brutally honest with you, I didn't mean to disrespect them, I have tried all manner of ways to walk out of this marriage but I don't see that happening. Maybe this will be the deal breaker, I won't do any of what they mentioned, absolutely none. I believe it'd make them hate me and by God's grace I pray and I'm praying hard for them to talk about returning my bride price to me.
nowhere in Nigeria are husbands required to bury their in-laws....if they do, then you should be in line to inherit from the man as well.

I'm suspecting this matter is taking place in the East. And over there, a man's family and extended family are traditionally expected to bury their father, in-law only come to say sorry with drinks and wrapper and yam and these things are actually at your own discretion.

That family has no shame or integrity or honour.
