most of my childhood friends that seniors me are single and have started envying them from last night.
Everyone is complaining that i have lost so much weight from the last time they saw me before my marriage
several people have said it in his present and he is not saying anything about it
Hmm nawa oo. If at all I am to believe all these..How you did you say you met this man and what even attracted you to him in the first place? Because from all you have said, this man seems he is not good at anything at all.

If you're doing well for yourself as a young lady; why did you even get married? On top of that you got married without courtship, meaning that someone forced you into marriage.

If what you wrote here is to be believed, you'll certainly be better off without marriage.

WARNING: You don't need to travel outside Nigeria. You'll do better in Nigeria.
Devil has spoken thru u... so men that are doing well sudnt also marry them... they should also not need it since they are doing well ...

You're a very concerned human being. So much concerned about irrelevant things, things that can take away your peace.

What is stopping you from leaving the compound? and look for a compound with landlord and few tenants? Don't tell me your husband since you're the one paying rent so why are you still in the compound?

Then your husband, you complained he slept while you're awake thinking; I don't get this. You didn't speak out for him to know what the issue is, so you expected him to be awake with you?

Take a break and let him fend for himself. Marriage is not a do or die affair.

SouthAmericalif:
i am still here updating because i need to speak out and learn from others by picking out the positive comments to encourage my self and not to think much while adjusting to a new life
Finally arrive my mum place,woke up my daughter early gave her few of my stuff to take to my mum before my neighbor woke up
while she was away my hubby woke up and i confronted him for peace talk and told why i am angry and he slept with out considering me
he got up and walk away with out saying a word.clean up make sure my daughter eat then i came out freely not knowing my neighbors where waiting for me to come, after a year today this girl greeted me the mother followed me outside that the landlord is very angry with them begged me to call the landlord that we have settled i told her ok and left.she is settling with me after causing my marriage.

it seems you just needed a place to vent, you should have done this in the diary section, but you probably needed the attention too, you wanted to be seen and heard perhaps your husband doesn’t give you the attention you crave despite all your efforts. If kids are involved and there’s no physical abuse, I honestly think it can be salvaged. Nothing good comes easy.

Don't get me wrong.

The girl said there was no courtship, meaning she was forced into marriage. My view is that she shouldn't have agreed to that no matter the pressure since it wasn't her choice.

Of course, any girl doing well for herself AND WANTS TO GET MARRIED SHOULD GET MARRIED.

She's in a situation she didn't create for herself.

we have mid year for our rent to expire, i told him the money we have at hand that by weekend he should split it and give me part so we can fend for each other separately i will get a room self contained and start living there if he is willing to reconcile na that small we go stay until he wakes up, i feel it’s a loveless marriage

Isn't this your story what men face everyday and most women down play men's efforts? Madam settle your issues, you knew he was struggling with his finances and went ahead, its only a man that can feed a jobless woman for 50 years without complaining and divorcing her o doubt if any woman can do that.

You want us to tell you tto leave your husband because his finances aren't checking up? Madam any decision you want to taake do and the society will still go. On

Marriage is a poverty eradication scheme i guess and anyone who is doing well shouldn't marry but unfortunately I didn't see men up there, why aren't men included? Are they a lesser specie of humans? A man should go ahed and marry while he is rich but a woman shouldn't become her finances will be drained according to you. Did you see why wisdom has nothing to do. With age?

I would have said OP is exaggerating if I didn't have an aunt that married a man EXACTLY like this. She slumped and died at the age of 42 leaving 2 young teenagers behind. There are so many irresponsible men like this out there yet they'll come online to diminish women's efforts, claim they're the ones paying all the bills and women are leeches. That's why I will continue to say it that Nigerian men are 100% worse than the women they constantly criticize
Hahaha my money is my money and his money is out money crew, this is just a tip of what men go through everyday whoo die more from blood pressure issues die to stress between men and women? Why are there more windows than widowers? You see same scenario? A man will go through iit with a liability at home but same man won't even see her as a liability and they will grow together.

1st mistake u made is don't marry ant man without a sustainable job or a skill and a drive to always be better. Same applies to a man marrying a woman, the woman must not be idle or jobless.

Nobody should be babysitting the other in marriage. U are both adults and should know how to act and thrive.

Damage is done u married him to fix him but did he have his own concrete plan to fix himself or are u his mother? U can only help and assit but he must know what he's is supposed to do and how to do it then u support that in whichever way possible. That's how a partnership works. U don't spoon feed anybody.

U got him keke that was ur idea not his and he may ot be a good driver or capable in that area, so I ask what was his own idea? Did u have an objective discussion on this?

Marriage is never do or die so I'm not against leaving but make sure u do things right and do ur best without sabotaging urself. Cheers

Before you invest money on anyone to start a business , make sure they have known the true value of money, has done a trade before and know how to at least turn 1,000 Naira to 1200 , using their sense

Otherwise, that money you invested will disappear into thin air

Make sure they have learned and learn Naija economy and how to survive it, otherwise, one single business mistake, you are back to square one

I am a man but trust me, you can't continue with this man. You mentioned something like japa in your accompanying post, if you still have the fund and might, you may consider this. As for the kids, if possible, look for a carer in trusted family member while you pave way overseas. There's nothing more dangerous than being with a NFA man.

In pure traditional Igbo culture as practiced in the past, marriage is not a childsplay.


Before a man marries a lady, the elders of his family do embark on spiritual journey to make findings about the woman he intends to marry and her true family background. The woman's family too also embark on their own physical and spiritual findings after the man makes his intention to marry their daughter known.


Some families will never be wealthy. Some men will never be rich or wealthy, some will depend on others to survive, that is how their chi programmed their life. So for such men, his family elders do embark on a spiritual journey to unravel the background of the girl he intends to marry, if they carry same negative destiny or fate in life, the marriage will be aborted to save their future and that of their unborn kids from untold hardship and sufferings.


Instead the family elders will then look for a girl from a family with success or wealth trait or fate or destiny, whatever you call it, to get a wife for the man to help his own destiny. That was how marriage was done in the past in Igbo land but today youths marry anyhow in the name of love without consultations.


Some family carry the fate or destiny of untimely death too and people foolishly go into such families to marry without due consultations and when the consequences come, they start crying.


Marriage is not a childsplay.


To all single ladies and guys reading, dont marry anyhow oh. Dont just marry because of what you are seeing physically at the moment, make some spiritual consultations through your Pastor if he is truly ordained and spiritually carried or through your native tradition. Don't marry anyhow to avoid plunging your life to a perpetual misery
Oga sorry,a man chi does not decide anything but if a man say yes his chi will also say Yes, looking at this man's case,his chi has said yes by giving him a blessing in the form of wife,but he is the one saying no,why the wife is annoyed here is not because of his laziness but his inability to defend her against intruders,

1. Well, if I may suggest, except you bought the Camry for Uber, you can sell it and buy a car for taxi instead. Let him drive while you manage (if you have a brother you trust, he can manage this).
2. Have a discuss with him, find out what he loves to do naturally, what he enjoys doing and can push without limits. That's his strength, invest in that.
3. Have a list of businesses, let him choose the one he likes to do. Then, navigate how to invest in it together.
4. Anything you decide to do don't contribute the 100%. Let him also have an input. Tell him to contribute 50% while you add the remaining 50%. He can get a loan for his part.

As for your neighbours, you can:
1. Report them to the landlord, let him take action.
2. Get a restraining order from the court or police (a lawyer will guide you on this).
3. Meet a lawyer on how to issue them a warning letter (if it exists) to let them know you will sue them for libel/slander if they don't desist.
Op don't you ever ever listen to or follow this crap.

Once a woman have more money,men irritates her .....she want to Bleep her fellow women instead


Once a women is in the helm of affairs she become so offensive in attitude
