Ruke1991:
Not because of that. It's because every woman is ruthlessly selfish and want a successful man's wealth all for herself without rival. Rather than work for their own money, they can go all out to use JuJu or witchcraft to kill their co-wives, husband's mistresses, son's wife or husband's mother the moment they notice that the man they want 100% of his wealth, also has other women eating from that wealth. Most time it has nothing to do with love - just selfless. Women generally do not understand what love is - for them, it's just a buzz word for manipulating and stealing from men
I agree with you completely!

Marriage has always been between a man and a woman. It is the husband/wife whose mother it is that allows his/her mother to destroy the marriage that the blame lies with—not the outsider to the marriage. undecided
na mature and advanced mind know this truth. One partner is to blame

Only a foolish wife will be intimidated by her mother-in-law

Some of una ladies are not ready to be married, you are just looking for a man who you can control and claim he loves you so much.

Do what's right and enjoy your marriage

Kobojunkie post=136501256]See dem.... always looking for avenues to shift blame onto others, right? If you are not able to accept responsibility for your decisions in life, then you are simply not mature enough for marriage and other adult decisions in life. huh If this was fact based how come we have a continuous generation of people getting married? You need to stop the narrative of blaming mother in-laws for every crash that happens in marriages. Some are self inflicted by both parties.

Self-inflicted in the sense that someone in that marriage home had to permit the outsider to come in to cause commotion — assuming that be the case, of course. undecided

If a man allows his mother into his marriage to dabaru things, no be im mama fault but na him own. The same goes for the woman. undecided

Whether you like it or not, once you marry a man/woman know that you have married their parents by extension. Most mothers-in-law have no problem with their sons-in-law but you see that cat and mouse relationship between mothers-in-law and their daughters-in-law is something that needs to be researched. grin grin

My neighbour divorced his wife immediately he lost his mother.

The wife went on Social Media - Facebook specifically and wrote an epistle that God has cleared her tears and seen her hidden prayers.

The Man told her he was no longer interested in the marriage and has not picked her call for 8 years.
I would have done same

Good one from the man

If your mother is a single-mother by choice, it very advisable to keep her at bay from your marriage!

Most women subconsciously like to put other woman in their own unhappy situation. “You mean your husband did this!, I can never take such from a man, this is what you should do!”

A word is enough for the wise.

I remember one thread here about making children the parents' investments and most people support it. Nigerians are funny. You guys supported a mother to invest in the child. She no go get her ROI back? grin The time comes for her to get her ROI back to back, and one "yebrika" gal wan spoil the show, she go stay? She no go stay.

The same gal too go invest in her kids ooo. And the cycle continues.

The day we shift that mentality of investing in kids to the right one, things like this will stop. Your kids are your obligations and everything you do for them, do not expect anything back from them. If they give you, accept and bless them. If dem no give, focus on your life. But you build your life around them such that you will do absolutely nothing in your old age and they will be 100% responsible for you, and you think it's OK. No worry. Dem go kpai you. And you too go kpai many others. Se una brains no wa reset ni.n

Also, fix the nation. Let's make the health system OK such that there will be care homes and you don't need to burden your kids with your care. Another thread was here about a man complaining his wife doesn't want to accept his sick mother. His sick mother suppose stay with them in the first place? But many said the woman is wicked. OK oooo. We go see. The useless way of life una dey live that you keep killing yourselves, una still no wan change am, abi?

Good luck!

I wholely disagree with you too. Someone who has been handling divorce cases and have actively listens to couples is taking n u are saying what u don't know .. talk is cheap
Re: Mothers-in-law Destroy Marriages More Than The Couples Themselves: Lawyer Says by Exceed15: 9:15am On Aug 20, 2025
I totally I agree 100% with this assertion. Most single mothers ended their marriages because they were behaving like their mothers who are not in their husbands house too.

Run away from single mothers. They carry their mother's venom.

You are very correct. The age will change but that but that ability to establish deep understanding of wisdom. Is always lacking.. They are mostly driven by emotions.

I guess that is why you are still not married. Maybe when you finally get married, then you can come back and let's continue this discussion.
