My own advise is you should find a way to reduce your level of dependency be it husband or brother. Your brother has been responsible for your upkeep under your husband's roof says you should leave that toxic environment, you pack your bags and gtf out of that environment, that could be the turning point your husband needs to put a stop to his addiction habit.
Na you done talk better for here.

Go and pack your stuffs right now and go with your kids! You've got nothing to lose.
Your son go cope without his dad. Life is too beautiful to be in a bondage. Better thank God that u still have a brother wey dey help out and haven't forsake you! Act now before your matter tire him.




Savingrace678:
Hello nairalanders, pls I need matured mind on this.


My marriage has been stressful and draining.

I have really suffered if not for the help of my elderest brother, we would have died by now.
My husband has been in addiction since we got married 5yrs ago. that has never allowed him to take care of us. In 5yr we married, he has changed More than 5 jobs all wasted effort. We have two twine children. A boy and a girl.

His addiction has been the reason I never want to have another child ever since then.


my brother has asked me to pack my things and the children, as soon as my husband left for the village, he will relocate us and my husband will not have access to us again.
And he said, if I declined, he will take his hand off my matter. He has been the one taking care of our rent, school fees and upkeep as my husband's money goes to addiction
.

My fear now is, my children are so used to their father and I'm afraid if they can cop without their father. Especially my son.
Secondly, I'm so scared that I don't know how I'm going to handle more brokness in my life
My life is so scattered right now.
And lastly, I don't want my brother to take off his hands off me. He's the only person helping me out with my mistake.
Re: I'm About To Run Away From My Husband by JovialJune(f):
I wonder why women think deadbeats are father figures to kids, why are you worried of his absence in the lives of your kids when his addiction and irresponsibility can cause severe damages to their mental health and upbringing? Ehn Op?

This is even more confusing. I don't understand.

If it's gambling, then it's manageable.

First, do you guys have who he respects?

If yes, threaten to report him to the person

Secondly, have a heart to heart discussion with him but you must be ready to work with him... Let him open up completely.

Then both of you be ready to move into action.

Question though, seems you also have nothing doing if it's your brother that's paying all the bills.

Since you don't have same addiction, why are you not making money?

we need to hear from your husband's side of the story too...share his contact.

I think he can be redeemed.

You guys sef, what is so manageable about gambling tori Olorunhuh

@ op - Have you reached breaking point? Only you can respond. Just dont put yourself in a position where pent up anger and frustration will make you resort to violence cos in my mind youre the only functioning parent, your children have.

Gambling addiction is as crippling as drug addiction as they both mess up the brain’s reward system.

Gambling is a mental disorder, with darkness ahead.

Sometimes it's better to ask questions than just assert.

Yes, gambling can be managed, meaning it can be resolved, a gambler can stop gambling if he or she meets the right people for the right prescriptions or did they tell you it doesn't have a solution?

It's not a disease nor an affliction but an habit that was picked up.

There are millions of ex-gamblers that are doing well today including some of your religious and political leaders.

So, who will be paying house rent, feeding and caring for the children now that she's going to keep managing her husband? Because I'm sure the brother might hands off from narration.

This is a tough decision, I can see you still love your husband. I hope things get better. Your big brother has a point too
She is enjoying the banging from her husband that's why she is feeling reluctant. Addicts are usually good in bed.

Stop saying nons.ense. if it were to be a woman doing this to her husband, would you have said the same thing?

A man who loves his wife wouldn't involve himself in a lifestyle that brings schame and disgrace to his family. What kind of husband can not pay for house rent, school fees and you still expect her to stay with him.
@op, listen very attentively to your big brother. He loves you more.
Addict hardly change. That's the truth
I have no argument with genZ like you.

What do you know about marriage?

Not to talk of fathering another man's child.

Talk is cheap.

you're dumb if you think her brother wouldn't love her far more and better than the addiction husband. You're more dumber if you think people hasn't raised other people's children successfully. You're even more dumbest if you think single mothers don't get accommodation.
You are naive if you don't know that most landlords don't give house to single mother anymore.

A woman came on nairaland and gave you a half - baked information about what is going on in her home and you immediately draw to conclusion.

Have you heard the husband side of the story?

This makes you less than an kid.

genZ everywhere on nairaland.

What's the woman doing or she's also as useless as the gambling husband waiting daily for her brother to pay the bills?

Secondly, is she saying it has been like this since they got married?

The properties she's saying the man sold off, who bought them?

They can seperate for as long as they want but the woman should go find something doing while they find rehab for the man.

Single motherhood is never the best option. go and verify from Annie Macaulay and the likes.

Provided your husband is not beating or handling you rough, stay put.

Landlords have stop renting their properties out to single mother oo

This is the time your husband needs you the most. He is addicted to bet9ja which I guess but is because he wants to win and use the money to impress you and all of the family.

Talkative, be still and have your peace.

Most landlords don't give out their properties for let to a single mother or divorced woman. Most of these single ladies will now claim that their husband reside outside the state while some will still claim their husband reside abroad. The landlord will still insist on video calls with the husband.

You better go and do your findings.

Wasting any money away playing games.
having your brother's support and backup, if you don't leave, you will later regret it in life just like my aunt is regretting it now. She has the backup of her brother supporting her and wanting her to leave the marriage due to how irresponsible her husband was. She was using her children as excuse. Today, the same man has dumped her and moved on with another woman. The so-called brother helping her is dead. He died a year before the husband dumped her. Now she's suffering with her kids while the husband is enjoying with another woman and the kids the woman birthed for him. I am telling you to leave without looking back. Let your brother empower you and also be in the life of your kids. Take good care of yourself and if marriage comes knocking from a responsible loving man, then you can give it a try but let him know you have kids from your previous marriage. Men will never think twice before dumping you if the table turns tomorrow. Wake up please. You have a supportive brother. So many women out there don't have it.

Since you guys are advising her and the children to stay with a broke addict, may your girl child or your sister marry such a man. Only then would your understand that the brother is actually trying to help her.

To the op, if I am your brother and after giving you such instructions and you ignore them, you will NEVER call me again for any financial assistance. Carry your cross.
