Buy a car on distress sale, tell your husband to sell the car at an agreed amount, let’s see what will come out of it. If he sell am well, establish a car business for him to do.
Very fucking simple

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,
okay

@SouthAmericalif: go and have sex with your husband. Make sure you let him dominate while at it, and give him the sweetest of styles, but a few moments before he nears orgasm, stop and kill the mood entirely. grin

Why did I give this analogy? Because the problem you are facing is not caused by money, nor by him not having a job or a business or anything, the problem lies with complacency. So many rich homes, employed men and women also face this same thing.

Complacency is deadly. It is very common in marriages. Complacency happens when people don't have anything to dream about. Keyword: dream. Not anything to "do" i.e. jobless, but anything to dream about. But you can kill complacency with near-orgasm experiences which would then be the source of fuel for enduring the pain that would get you to your dream or orgasm.

For instance, it could be japa that'd be that dream that gives you guys an orgasm. Breathe it, have a WhatsApp group on it, have wall posters on it, talk with people in your dream country every day, live on Nairaland threads related to the Japa process, and watch that complacency go. Even with things that bother you now like your neighbor, you'd be so unconcerned and say to yourself, "At least when I Japa, I can report stupid neighbors like them to the police". Dream and be delusional.

But I must warn you, when you finally achieve that dream, you must look for something bigger because it never ends.

Summary: Complacency is from the lack of dreaming. Dreaming gives you confidence and builds you to be able to withstand the pain that would give you the competence to achieve your dreams. Competence then brings options. Options then bring confidence and kill weakness. Options also allow you to dream bigger.

This is exactly what most married men go through, they carry all family responsibilities, whether the women are working or not, and yet they don't threaten to leave the marriage all because the wives are not making financial contributions to the marriage. shocked. A woman is doing what most men have always done, she complains and wants to leave the marriage shocked. May God bless our men.
that's why a woman is a weaker vessel. She faints at the sight of a cockroach. A man provides for the family without complaining because God has made it so when both humans were cursed in Eden, it's the natural responsibility of a man and he's built to do that. A woman's role is to carry and birth children, then support the man. Whenever the whole load rests on a woman, push has come to shove and the square peg will be easily identified in a round hole. It is very natural for a woman to complain when left to fit into a man's position.

1. Many of you are just extremely wicked beings. OP clearly expresses that she lonely in her marriage. She practically does everything for herself; her husband exists as a dock she pays to keep by her side is all. Yet here you are trying to gaslight her into believing she is the reason why her is like that of a single woman carrying unnecessary baggage. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

2. Your wife once labeled you a lazy husband --- a man who does not provide or bring anything meaningful into her life other than the occasional dick here and there---- yet you think it your place to come lecture another woman on why she should not see her husband in the same clear light if that is who he is? 🫤🫤🫤
Its easy to sit behind a phone and type whatever you like. But life will teach you lessons you will never learn reading a million books. Its easy for you to blindly judge when you have not heard the other side of the story. I just brought another reality to the fore based on my personal experience and not some lame emotions that always beclouds sane judgements. You think the man in question just decided to cruel to his wife? You think the lady from all her story is the only one going through some form of emotional stress? I will not go further than this. These guys might end up working out their differences and live happily ever after.
My own dey my body. I am not perfect, she is not neither. We are a decade in it and committed to keep going.
If you never start your own, God help you!

Let her come and answer you but I'm 100% certain NO WOMAN will marry a man who presents himself as jobless and hopeless.

Whether he masked his finances or not as at the point of marriage, she definitely met him in his "glory" day

If you didn't consult these people before marrying him, why are you bothering the public with your poor choice in a man? Carry your cross in peace cool

Woman wey marriage don tire, go use soap or sponge find divorce

One Naira lander gave her a very beautiful solution.
Buy a car, give him the keys and ask him to flip it for a profit.
If he does that successfully, use the money buy another car and ask him to flip it.
Like play like play business don start.
No man should fail at a business like this unless he's CURSED!

i am not quarreling or fighting with him, i feel depressed and stressed each passing day and he is not making it easy for me , i am not asking him to fight for me but as a man there are some measures you put in place to protect your family especially when you know i can never do anyone wrong but he is always mute to every thing and am carry too much burden that i can’t take care of myself my blood pressure is high and it has never been this high.
He should care for himself and i will do same if he doesn’t give me a valid reason to come back and not this house we are presently in then i will let the marriage go.
He knew fully well i didn’t sleep all through the night and it has never happened before but is 5:30am he is sleeping very soundly. It’s very easy to please me but i don’t think he has a heart.
I don’t want to comment on this post but with this comment you just dropped, I think you’re being very immature here. For how long have you even catered for your household responsibilities that you brought the matter to an online forum? God gave you a cool headed husband and you want to turn him into a tiger because you can’t live peacefully with your neighbors. Why can’t you be like your husband and overlook some things? Do you always have to react to everything? So because you can’t sleep your husband should also develop high bp and kill himself? You don’t have any problem except for the negative thoughts and advices you have saturated your mind with.

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.
As you’re rushing to give advice, have you heard the man’s side of the story? Did she say the man is cheating or doing any societal vice? You should know that there’s more to this story. How can a man that doesn’t cheat, he doesn’t beat his wife, his not a drunkard nor a smoker, not a chronic debtor and not know how to handle a basic business? Think bro. Women have a way of telling their stories to gain pity and emotional support.

I don't really have much to say except people are really stupid on this platform. Even after all her explanations, many are still asking if she has kid wtf ? don't you read ??
Madam, you've tried ... but no one on this website knows what's best for you , think deeply about it ...will you be able to endure this for the next 5 years ? Do you think if you continue like this , you can even see the next five years ? So I rest my case .

i have two grown kids and my mum takes very good care of them.
i didn’t sleep this night but am a bit calm this morning since i figured it out that i have to be there for my self, in health wise and all round moving to my mums place this morning and will
get a room self contained by next week and start from there.
You deserve that inner peace ma'am, at this stage of your life, your kids and whatever you do for yourself will be sources of joy for you, take good care of yourself, if the man is moving funny, file for a divorce, you have a very good case.

God will bless your mum and make her live long, she is a good fortress according to your story, pray for her everyday and always seek her blessing. I pray God turn all your sorrow to joy and mine too.
Re: I Want To Leave My Marriage Because My Husband Is Weak by travelzcruix: 3:32pm On Feb 19, 2025
Nairaland in-laws no get chills o. It's obvious from what you have narrated. You got married to a death- beat husband. Even if miraculously he gets out of his current situation " financially", he will be a thorn in your flesh. Relocate if you still have hopes for the marriage. It is better you people leave as distant couples till he sorts himself out.

Clearly you and your family have lost total respect for your sisters husband, I just pity the said man and the amount of humiliation he goes through in the hands of your mindsets.

The important thing is provision is available, who provides it shouldn t be the question as one is clearly opportune more than the other.
I clearly said lazy men, maybe you haven’t come across a lazy person. No matter how you push them they will refuse to move
Re: I Want To Leave My Marriage Because My Husband Is Weak by JonSchamo(m):
Judging from your write-up, It's obvious that you're stressed. For your mental sake, go and live with your mum for like 3 months you'll be fine.

Re: I Want To Leave My Marriage Because My Husband Is Weak by clarion30(f): 4:02pm On Feb 19, 2025
The contributions of men and women in marriages can never be the same. The most a man can do is take all the financial contributions.
He doesn't give birth, he doesn't "care" for the home, just financial contributions.
On the other hand, while a woman might not be contributing financially, she's birthing the kids and taking care of everything apart from financial.
Read that story well, the woman does everything. Financially and otherwise, nowhere did she state that the man contributes anything at all and that is what happens in some homes where the woman is the breadwinner. The men do absolutely nothing, not even lending a voice of encouragement and that is where the problems and frustrations lie.

The woman should leave because the man WILL NEVER CHANGE, THEY DON'T CHANGE.

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 take do and the society will still go. On
I am sorry to hear of your travails. You may have married a lazy man, as you said, or someone who is struggling with issues you are not aware of. Either way, it is up to you to come to terms with it or move on.

That being said, I've always maintained that women are not capable of love. Even the Bible instructs women to respect their husbands because God knows that the species He created cannot love.

Love is when you can cheerfully provide, support, and protect regardless of the circumstance(s). Men do everything this lady did and much more for our wives, some of whom are outrageously ungrateful, unloving, or twice as lazy as the male in the above discussion, but we do not complain. It's our job. This is love. All we ask is that you respect us.

Don't look to anyone here to justify a decision you know you made on your own. Do what you have to do and be happy with your decision.

How many men take all the financial responsibility and also do all the house chores.

You need a month long break first just to clear your head and get your strength back then take necessary steps. Don’t waste your life but honestly take stock of the years with your husband and it might be that what he needs is shock that he might loose you.

At times when women get too eager to pick up after their husbands you are creating problems later in life for yourself. Always ask a man what his plans for the next 5 to 10 years is and use it as part of the decision to marry. Many are too happy to live rudderless without purpose through life.

Parents train their girls how to be good wives but hardly do any work on making their sons good husbands so wives often have their job cut out.
