Your husband is very different from you. You should not marry someone different from you. You should marry someone hardworking like you. These are the consequences.

How to have Peace in Chaos

Peace is the absence of fear. There are two types of peace, peace of the world and peace of God.
We don’t know what tomorrow brings, we hear and see chaos everywhere including in our lives, these bring fear of the known and unknown. People try to escape and to distract their mind from the feeling of fear and create false happiness, they daydream everything like nothing unpleasant is not going to happen at all, some can’t bear it and they commit suicide, some try to escape with pleasure, they get drunk, use drugs, partying, involve in sexual immoralities and many other vices. This is the temporary virtual peace you get from the world, and it’s soon over and you find yourself battling with finding rest and peace for your soul again. That’s why people go back continuously into all these vices until addiction sets in because we all crave for peace. To have peace in this chaotic world, your hope must be placed outside the world

How do you have the true permanent peace?
Firstly, Peace with God : Romans 5:1 ‘Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ’ we must first be justified of all our sins. Being ‘justified’ means Jesus forgives you and erases your past as if you never committed any sin before. 2cor5:17 ‘Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.’ You need to have peace with God first, you need to repent from your sinful life, receive Jesus Christ by faith into your life and be willing to obey His commandments. There’s no other way to have peace with God except through Jesus Christ: John 3:16 ‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’
You have peace with God when you know you have everlasting life after this chaotic life is over. How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation
Secondly, peace from God: After you have peace with God, He gives you His peace that is above the chaos of this world. Jesus says in John 14:27 ‘Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.’

Remember Paul and Silas in the Bible, these two were beaten mercilessly in the marketplace, thrown bound into the worst prison without any treatment of their wounds despite the fact that they did no bad thing, out of these chaos, they prayed and sang praises to God because they had peace towards God and peace of God. This is beyond human understanding, it can only be peace of God. We all need Jesus, He is the only source of life because without peace, we are only existing and not living either we are free or bound. Psalm 34:8 ‘O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.’
You can have peace right now, it doesn’t take a whole lot of process or application, it’s a free gift. Get on your knees and pray to your maker to forgive you, He loves you, He will welcome you, justify you and give you his peace. Amen!

thank you sir for your candid advice
i have reported my neighbors to the landlord because he doesn’t stay in same compound and after warning them dey stay clear from me for 3days and started last night, they doing this so we can pack out and then give the house to another person and eat agent fees
the car keke and machine after been packed for years i sold it then for small money.
it was last december i started studying rigidly online and found out ways to invest by myself for myself january i started tbills and mutual funds and ok with it than wasting money for 8years i can no longer partner again we did okrika business it failed where buying from togo.
My dear sister you don try, please take care of yourself. i have similar experience i don't even have up to your resources but i quickly advised myself and Oga read the handwriting on the wall clearly, the only thing you hear him say is but this is not the person I married but i no send no quarrel no fight but unnecessary wastage na lie. Part of the decision i took is any contract i handle the finances myself. one of my experiences was that i got a loan of 600k plus interest total of 750k budgeted for mini bus in 2020 but he never bring the bus nor the money but i cannot explain such to bank so I have to pay

You mean you did all these for your man, yet he no work?
1. Bought a tricycle
2. Bought a Camry
3. Bought nylon making machine
4. You even pay rent, feeding, and sch fees

You are hardworking, and I respect you for that.

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.
This woman will have no time to do all these. She's already carrying enough family burden meant to be bore by both. She can't be thinking for the NFA guy.

Instead of communicating with him you prefer the online attention, na lack of communication dey cause this thing mostly, plus your kids are grown up, and you have the means to japa, you can japa without dissolving the marriage na, take some time apart so you can miss each other and rekindle the spark, you complain too much.

I know both male and female folks who are a replica of the man she described. Give them $1 trillion, they will still amount to nothing. People like that apart from being lazy are wasteful and pleasure loving. Divorce is the key

I don’t support weak and lazy men, a man is supposed to take care of responsibilities. My elder sister got married to a lazy man like this also. Until your sister is in such a situation you will not see anything wrong in it. My sister takes care of 95% of the house responsibilities, she recently completed her house this shameful man still moved in with her even though there are many works to be done in the house also . Men should be men.

This was what came to my mind too when I first read what she posted. But, a woman will always be a woman. Moreover, this woman played her part. Let the man play his part too.
You guys forget that the man will not do anything in the house, no shores, no cooking, no baby care or pregnancy to carry... the woman will be the sole worker and everything in the house while he relaxes and want to be served inspite of all the stress of work the woman goes through.
But a man providing for his family his wife will be home doing wifely duties but in this situation this woman does both wifely and husband duties that's why most women that provides complain, they are left to do virtually everything in the home.

I know men and women who are useless physically and mentally like the men you guys are describing. I am beginning to think it's aental health issue and the society needs to segregate irresponsible people so that they don't keep sleeping with responsible people and spreading the gene of irresponsibility

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.

So marriage is now an escape from route from poverty for female gender. These one is also on line adviser.
Re: I Want To Leave My Marriage Because My Husband Is Weak by DMechyyy: 12:18pm On Feb 19, 2025
You are having issues with your neighbors, and you want your husband to fight them too.

Because he chose peace, you are angry.

Your neighbors probably had a sound sleep like your husband, you didn't. Because you neighbors are not so good.


Take a break and fix yourself.

You need to love yourself first. You can only give what you have.

Your husband might have probably warned about your neighbors and look away. No, you want war. But you prefer that he fights. My dia, let that man breathe.


You need to breathe too.

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.
Your husband is probably an introvert who lacks motivation because people probably his parents are the ones forcing him to be motivated including marriage. Now parents are not around, he cannot be motivated to Man up. I don't know if my analogy is true but am speaking from experience with someone.
You said you you discussed with your man and he walked out without saying anything. The same applies to the individual I am talking about. His wife eventually walked out of the marriage and dude did not bother to chase after the wife. It was his parents forcing him to go and bring the wife home.
Trust me until you leave your husband he will see no reason to change.

Don't let anyone deceive you, there is predestined life but you still have the opportunity to fight it out if you can fight the spiritual battle.


All humans have a predestined life but you still have a chance to fight it out and change your destiny if you have the fighting spirit to do so.


Even the Bible recorded this when God said; "I will bless whom I will bless".


Also, go and read about Jabez in the Bible.

Let me stop here for now
You're talking about juju and at the same time making references to the Bible.

Quite confusing!
Re: I Want To Leave My Marriage Because My Husband Is Weak by ejire042(m): 12:29pm On Feb 19, 2025
I recently came across this post that resonated deeply. I feel compelled to share my perspective, as I've experienced something similar. It seems many women risk losing good men due to their own behavior. They try to control their partners, and if the man isn't financially successful, they perceive him as weak and resort to silent treatment. While it's understandable to have financial security, using money to turn your husband into an errand boy diminishes him. You might even push him to the point where he withdraws, like when he refuses to fight your battles with neighbors, likely because he recognizes you're the source of the conflict.

The real issue isn't your husband; it's you. You need to focus on self-improvement and stop blaming him. He will likely be fine without you, but the same might not be true for you. If you find marriage to him stressful, imagine the alternative: living alone. Would that truly be better?

I can relate to this from the other side. My wife once labeled me lazy and unambitious. I knew my own worth and refused to conform to her expectations just to prove something. I wouldn't take just any job to validate my manhood. I felt like a failure, and she found me less attractive. We were on the verge of collapse when my fortunes changed dramatically. Now, things are completely different. My income far surpasses hers. My tithe alone is far more than her monthly income. Now she appreciates her husband.

Your husband is likely a good man who simply lacks motivation, perhaps because you control the finances and make all the decisions. Don't give up on him. Stay with him, respect him, and pray for him. He's not the root of your problems.

As long as it's not affecting your children...
Don't listen to feminist theory....So many women are facing worse than you think but will make you feel their better than you after divorce or without a husband....
