I've been married for 7 years and blessed with 3kids... Sometimes ago my wife confessed to me about the paternity of my first son that he is not my son, when she got pregnant while we were dating, she told the real Dad but he denied being responsible and she had no option than to pin it on me. I became shattered and down, infact my world nearly came to an end, i sent my wife out of the house but after about a month, i forgave her and took them back with the kids, infact I still love all my kids equally without remembering the paternity of my first child. We had a little issue some weeks ago and she threatened to leave the marriage by the end of the year, then i told her if she really wants to leave, she mustn't wait for the year to end..... Then two weeks ago she started packing her things gradually to her parents house (her father is late). She finally left yesterday and we even had sex a day before she left. The funny things is that she has packed every of her belongings, leaving nothing at all.

Since she started packing her things back to her mum's place none of her siblings or her mum has called me or come to find out what the problem is, anytime we have issues and she goes back to her mum's place, nobody from her family will come to enquire what happened, i'll still be the one to go and pick them back home and apologize to the mum whether i'm at fault or not, i think that is what made them to view me as a fool, even when i discovered the paternity of the my first son, her mother never came to my place nor called, i was still the one who went to see her mum and we spoke then brought back my wife and kids home.

I work so hard to take care of her and my kids, i always make sure they lack nothing. People envy them because i invest so much on my kids...

Please guys, what do you think i should do? Should i just move on and forget about her because honestly this time around nothing would take me to their house. She called me yesterday that they've reached and i said okay, then she called me this morning that the children are asking when I'm coming to see them?
You have only one problem " Lack of self worth" as a result of extremely low self esteem.

All that is happening to you is very strange to me, the fact that non of her family members ever called whenever she left your house says alot about the way they see you.

Stop talking to that woman and completely cut her off from your life. You can be sending her certain amount to take care of your children every month. Pay their school fees directly to the school and visit them there whenever you want to see them.

I will also advise you to stay away from relationship and marriage for now until you become a man or build your self esteem.

do you know that just like that she told me that if i think she would come back when she gets broke or can't cater for the kids then I'm deceiving myself because God will never allow that... I then told her that it's your imagination, i'll never pray for that to happen to you. The painful thing is that i can't even tell my siblings about it because they didn't support my marriage to her and because of that we stopped taking with my biological siblings since i got married.
At the junction, a smart man should have known from that statement that she has gotten a better man who is financing her life.

Don't die before your time, God actually loves you, reason she move on by herself.

Open up to your siblings. Don't die in silence! If you can afford it, do DNA to confirm the paternity of the other two children! She might be collecting upkeep money from the biological fathers of those children while in your house.

Ask her what she told the children is the reason for packing out of their father's house? For them to be asking when you are coming to visit means they don't even understand what is going on.

just imagine that even when i discovered about the paternity of the first child, none of her family took it as a big deal and nobody came to see me nor plead, not even the mother, the only call I received then was from one of her sister who called to insult me for sending her out of my house and said all manner of things to me.

It depends on your relationship with your neighbours, Just tell them she has found a new job or business somewhere and needed to stay Nearby. If you are not the owner of the house, you can move to another location and start afresh. In whatever decision finally made, don't take that woman back into your life.

I quote you earlier to say that you can call or chat me up through the phone number on my signature.

As for being ashamed of facing your neighbors, please don't even care what anybody will say. Don't become a slave of other people's opinions. See, everyone have their own challenges and if this is your own cross, thank God because you can overcome it.

Be determined to think straight this time around and get a lasting solution to this situation.

What a shame!!.
Me no send ur wife. Person wey supposed dey work to win back ur trust still dey play victim. Tufiakwa!!.
Na ur legit children I dey concerned abt. Get am for the back of ur mind say if u leave them with ur wife and her family. Them go poison their mind against u over time with lies. E no dey hard some women to do. Especially with the kind woman wey u go marry. Better get ready.

You fvck up for not keeping in touch with ur family. I blame u 100%. Family wey know u from ur pampers, from ur nothing days, till u begin stand on ur own, u just shenk dem. U no try gaskiya!. U don see urself now?
Na now u need them the most. If you fight this battle alone, you go die in silence. Family will always be family. Highest ur parents go reprimand you. But them no go stand by and watch their own flesh n blood suffer. Correct family na solid backbone. Even ur wife run back to her own family.
Steel ur heart and mind. Ur manipulative wife can go to hell, na ur legit children u suppose dey fight to get.
Re: Please Guys I Need Honest Advice by Kirchoffs: 2:02pm On Dec 08, 2024
@odafe360 listen and listen good. Don't go back to beg your wife and her useless family. The family even see you as a weak man the more reason why they didn't come begging when they discovered the first son isn't yours.

If I knew you personally I'd have told you to shout on the rooftops and let everyone she's a LovePeddler. The end of the earth will hear what she did.

Use your head

LoL..kia, u no get mind at all.
U get bigger problem to solve u dey worry about ur neighbors. As if ur neighbors no get their own personal problems to deal with undecided. Wetin concern ur neighbors for this matter? If them ask about ur wife, tell them say she travel. E get how u go answer question, the person understand to mind him business.
After one or two weeks ur neighbors go forget abt u and face their own life. Grow some steel balls my guy!!

You can't loose at both ends

You need your sibblings now and it's time to redress some issues

You can imagine, she knows that you are not in talking terms with your sibblings and she is also using that to deal with you by behaving like an agent of destruction

Find a way to reconcile with your sibblings, worst case they will mock you, but at the end you will reconcile with them

You are not there and you are not here

How do you want to live a satisfying life

Family is everything especially with your sibblings

If anything should happen to you to day, God forbid, your wife will never bring those kids to your family because already she is not with them

So, you can't handle that alone

Remove pride if you have any and go back to your siblings

Well sorry for this kind of embarrassment just because you choose to be a gentle man

At this point your wife will still do you things that will break your heart the more

So, go and inform your family or siblings of what she has done and will still do more because this is not the first time and is not the second time, that means she will do more

Just move on with your life and if possible Change your residence and move on, as it is now she is killing you slowly

How can you be training another man child yet no peace at home

When hunger deals with them she will look for you by then you are already busy and can't keep two relationships

She will take you to court or mediation centre, when you get there, open up

No human on earth has the power to deprive another person's happiness

And she had the guts to call and insult you. If I were you I'd let go of her. I know it's gonna be difficult, but it's doable. Each time you see that boy it would trigger an annoying feeling. Don't spend the rest of your life in anger. Just let go of the boy and the mother. She should send him to his real father.

You should have mentioned why your family did not want y0u t0 marry her. How are you sure your marriage would have been better if you had married someone else? Some family members are simply wicked*, they can just kick against someone's intended spouse for no good reason. If this is the situation here, going back to your siblings can never be a solution, you should nevertheless keep in touch with them from time to time, but they have no solution for your marital issues.

Don't bother about what your neigbours will say, some of them are passing through worse battles in life. Just ignore your wife, but be calling to speak to the kids like once a month. Don't remarry. Time will lead you in taking the right decision.

Dear Op, sorry for your ill experience. Please do not feel bad that you forgave her the first time, it is a sign that you're a good person. It is not foolishness neither is it weakness. It is strength!

This time she packed out, what is the cause? Has there been any issue you haven't mentioned? That will equip me with the necessary information to advice you.

Meanwhile, I hope you have not been rubbing the first infidelity case on her face? If you have been doing such, you haven't forgiven her and the pain is enough for her to want a leave.

Please shed more light sir. I sense a spiritual undertone to this matter anyway.

I've never rub the infidelity on her face, i forgave totally. Though from time to time, I feel the pain but never reminded her about it. When she packed out, there was no issue at all apart from when she threatened that she will leave because of a very trivial issue.

Re: Please Guys I Need Honest Advice by Originalsly: 6:12am On Dec 09, 2024
My advice is to first apologize to your siblings for not following their advice not to marry the wench. Blood is thicker than water. The most they will say is we told you so but now you've found out for yourself. Most likely ...they been expecting the marriage to collapse...so you going to them wouldn't be a surprise. Your biggest obstacle to overcoming this problem is pride.... you have to swallow it if you really intend to get out from the gutter. Accept that your wife is a scam ... the marriage is a scam ... the child is a scam ... these three you know of so far ... what else? She told you the first child isn't yours. Are you going to wait for her to tell you about the other two? ... or will you not wait but take them to find out? After all.... she didn't tell you they are yours ....or she did? ...if yes ...do you believe her? Find out .... take care of whatever child is yours. Why would you still be father to the kid that's not yours when he has a father?...who maybe is now stepping up? ..the kid's birthday and not available....because he's spending time with his real dad. The woman's family knows everything that's going on... you are no longer important.... stop being played.... they all used you...now they have someone better. Accept that and move on ...or your life will be miserable going forward....worse... you will start tripping. Many of the mad men you see roaming the streets weren't born mad ....it is situations like this that lead to their demise. Take a deep breath in ... cut your losses ...use this as a lesson and move on with your life .

P.S your neighbour...why are you worried about what they will say? You plan telling them some lie to avoid shame .... what if they already know?...you prefer to be known as a liar? If they ask...what is wrong with telling them the truth? ...which will be a plus for you and a minus for her. You may even hear stories about what they been seeing and wondering when you weren't around. Just saying.

The more i dey read this thread, the more I dey vex like say make I catch op, use beatings reset him life.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of men are getting married in this generation, what manner of multiple abomination am I reading.


Odafe360 your self esteem is so down that you'll soon find oil, oga with all due respects, you're a weak man.


Year don dey end and I don promise myself not to drop anymore advice for anybody this year cause I get better things to do with my time.


But if you're truly interested in breaking out of your dire circle of useless torment, my WhatsApp number dey my siggy, you can drop me a message make I reform your life.

You're a very good man for forgiving her and accepting the child. God will bless you, he's your son. A father is the one who raises the child, not the sperm donor


Now, as for your marriage, put it on hold for now. You guys have issues. You need Marriage Counselling, separately and individually. But Counselling requires two willing people to work, not one. So make arrangements for it but don't tell your wife.

Now, buy a phone for your kids and give them to contact you freely.

Sit down and think "do I want to continue this marriage?". Really think. You need to speak to your marriage counsellor now about that. But don't speak to your wife.

Like someone rightly said, she should be doing her best to earn and keep your trust after a huge betrayal. That has to happen.

Try not to take too much advice from Nairaland, you're speaking to a lot of angry young men who will lead you astray. Look through all our profiles before accepting our advice.

It's very clear what the case is. You can't handle this matter with some intelligent decisions. You need to understand that there is a pattern of flow marriage failure in her family. I haven't asked about yours. But be sure that marriage doesn't carry the same value to her. You value the marriage but she's doesn't... She's comfortable with loosing her home. The home doesn't carry a heavy value before her. It's a pattern and unfortunately, it is beyond her.

You need to fast and pray. And it's meant to be done by both of you. Until she shares an healthy value for marriage and home, your marriage won't be sweet. Pray o... Pray.

I would actually love to ask you some more questions but this time about you. But here is a public forum.
