Hello Nlanders

I will tel you guys something for sure, marriage is sweet, but the bitter part of it can affect a mans life even more than a woman. Episodes upon episodes have surfaced online regarding SOME men bringing in their wife to the western world and gradually seeing the demon crawl out of them. I have read many and heard of some within my community here in the UK. I always thought these episodes only happen to some people that it could never happen to me, bros and sis, he dey sup oo.

I don't want to delve into too many details, but I just want to share with you guys the most recent thing happening in my own, this is just to let u guys know that he unthinkable can happen to anyone whether or not you deserve it or not

So one day i decided to change the kitchen lights from the white one to the warmer bulbs, I had kept them right atop the kitchen cabinet which is a bit high. I climbed my chair and lo and behold I saw a paper neatly wrapped in a square shape, I took and opened it, lo and behold the attached is what I saw, I obviously don't know exactly what it is, so I called my mum, and the only thing she could tell me was to destroy it and up my spiritual game.

Overtime, I sort of react on situations with my wife, but I have changed ways. I politely and diplomatically approached her and asked if she knew anything about what I found, and she said, where is it, told her I have destroyed it but showed her a picture that I took. She sobbed and said she knows nothing about it, and I silently ended the convo.

A week later, I was assisting her to monitor the facebook ad that I have helped her with, a notification popped up on her computer saying ' finalize your hotel booking', which apparently popped out from bookings.com, I checked and saw that she pre-booked a hotel booking for 24th of Oct to 25th of Oct, I saw this 2 days prior to the 24th. I have had it in mind that I will not question her, set a trap and catch her red-handed, I know alot of you would say you should not have told her, she will now be smarter, I have my reasons and that's that. I left for work that day (24th), she was suppose to go for a house viewing as we are planning to move, I knew if for whatever reason, she might use that outing to go run things, that's if an actually plan was underway. On her wayback, we were talking while she was driving, then towards the end of the conversation, I asked her why she nor tell me sey she book hotel for me and her for Basildon, 24th to 25th two adults, she paused for like 6 seconds, and said which booking,then i gave her the lowdown, at first she was defensive, saying she does not want to further be asked questions, but that the pre-booking might have been done in error bla bla. I just ended it with no p, I thought I'd ask you.

Since 7 days now, she dey try seduce me, i nor gree Bleep, im just telling myself, what kind of fake life person wan dey live so, i am with a woman that at least i know she's effing someone, because she has not been caught red-handed its all 'lets continue our normal life' but me nor sabi pretend and the fear of contracting disease and also spiritual misfortune is now on the high for my mind. Winter dun come, who i wan dey nack, the depression just start now again.

She is afraid that she might be pregnant and want to pin it on you. She will go on pills. STI should be your biggest concern at this point.

You need to become highly security conscious and take meaningful steps to protect yourself. Your life might be in danger.
Next time: a forensic analysis of the substance you found would have been key. Also surveillance on the info you stumbled upon.

What is in the paper?

Why would you fire questions at her with no plan? You are simply throwing your ace away. You're supposed to be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove (Matthew 10:16) bu you appear to be doing the exact opposite, you are confrontational with your questions and being foolish to fail to investigate the root causes of problems, even saying its okay when you're burning inside.

I don't fancy your chances at all. Who books hotels by accident? Thats like booking a return trip by accident. Where does that happn?
I tire!
U saw the hotel booking ur wife made, why asking her about it, when you should have used the details to carry out investigation before bringing it to her notice? Let them no kpai the guy sha

About men taking their women abroad, i will say it's wrong, if a woman wants to go abroad, she should do it by herself. And first mistake men are making today is sponsoring their wedding 100% if it cant be 50x50 then you're investing wrongly.
Re: Marriage On The Brink Of Collapse by Kalulu44: 12:43pm On Oct 29, 2025
You had an opportunity to drill and exact some good answers from her from that hotel bookings and you let it slide just like that bcus she as the man of the house threatened you not to go further with the topic.
So what do you want us to tell you since you have seeded your authority to her

Re: Marriage On The Brink Of Collapse by Paut(m): 12:47pm On Oct 29, 2025
I don't have any advise for you because it seems you're not man enough and this could be the reason she's taking advantage of you, you claimed to caught her on the move yet you could not investigate it deeply.
Let me tell you something, the very first point you failed was asking her about hotel booking and not Investigating her rather you said no problem.
She will not and never take you serious, now you said children are involved lol...
You're indecisive 😏😏

To this statement, I have a question.
Is it right if the woman brings the man over as against the reverse? Does it make any difference ?
Re: Marriage On The Brink Of Collapse by gabbytabby: 12:55pm On Oct 29, 2025
What did she say it was because in my 20s and 30s I used to make Dudu Osun. My grandma will buy good quality black soap and Osun for me and I will add honey. So it might be nothing.

Majority of the reason why marriages that was successful in Nigeria might encounter problems abroad is often because

1)Men refuse to assist in the home forgetting that in Nigeria they had help (domestic, school bus etc, most of the extra curricular activities including swimming are in school) in the home.
2)Men often working in Gas and Oil or Banking back home with the respect that comes with it now having to start with menial jobs that they used to pay someone to do for them back.
3) Oftentimes the wife earns more and men having to adjust to that dynamic.
4) All the Oga respect they were receiving in Nigeria gone even a 2 year old would call you by your first home.
5) Humility and face your hustle is the order of the day.
6) Your wife is unlikely to look away if your are cheating.

So if you can’t deal with your new normal please stay in Nigeria and preserve your ego and your mental health.

You're a weak man.

Strong men moves in silence, they avoid unnecessary dramas until they are satisfied with their curiosity. After which they'll quietly end the marriage if they catch their wives in the hotel with another man.

The fact your beloved wife said she doesn't want to continue that conversation already shows she's in charge of the home and not you. She didn't bother proving anything. Ur beloved wife would be knacked back to back that's if hasn't already started collecting massive rods elsewhere
Imagine the audacity of a woman,not just a woman, your wife telling you she doesnt want to continue a conversation

Sometimes we erroneously think that we know someone else, but we are still getting to know our own selves. The key is going for someone with a good character, it is never cool to ignore red flags before marriage. I have an aunt who took her husband to Europe (she sponsored everything), he was tall, handsome, well built and crying like a kid on their traditional wedding day. He got to Europe, got a job, started getting money, drinking and probably flirting, but she couldn't hide his flaws anymore when he started beating her in her own home. It got so bad that she once jumped from the balcony of a first floor building, while chasing her with rage. Well, they are divorced now with three kids and she moved all the kids to another country. As for me, I'm not sure I'll ever get married, the wahala is just too much, but I surely want about two kids, baby mama self na another wahala.

Good example

So y’all should stop with the crazy narrative that it’s never right for Naija men to bring their wives abroad. From your example, it could also go wrong when a woman brings her husband.

They were together when she was still broke and living with us at our family house in Nigeria, they seemed to really like each other back then, I don't know how or why the love went sour. She took him to Europe because he stood by her when she had nothing, he would travel from Delta state to come see her in Lagos and my parents always welcomed him. This love and marriage thing is just confusing.

Most women are very chaotic and can never give you peace.
