Right decision

Kayberg:
Remove your "Point 1".
No sane family will watch the wife of their son murder him in the name of marriage before reacting.

"Points 2 & 3" are good enough and well said without "Point 1".
Aren't you surprised that we can point to one good "counsel" from Junkie? grin Don't ask for more please!

✓ Unfortunately, there is no proper documentation trail here in Nigeria. A person can be an violence offender and his/her name does not pop it up with pictures when searched.
With a population of over 200 million, that country don become wild West be that. 😩😩

I Finally Chose to Walk Away from My Marriage

After deep reflection and repeated attempts to make things work, I have decided to step away from my marriage for the sake of my peace, safety, and well-being.

For a long time, I have endured constant physical and emotional abuse from my wife. During disagreements, she often resorts to violence, slapping, hitting, and using hurtful words. On several occasions, she has even threatened me with sharp objects such as knives and scissors. Unfortunately, today, she carried out that threat and stabbed me in the neck. By the grace of God, it wasn’t fatal, but it was the final straw that made me realize I cannot continue living in fear.

Throughout our marriage, I have done my best to provide for our home and ensure we lacked nothing. Despite my efforts, I have never received her support, emotionally, mentally, or otherwise. I have never raised my hand against her, yet that restraint has often been taken for weakness, giving her the boldness to abuse me repeatedly.

My family, having witnessed much of what I’ve gone through, has now asked her to leave and packed her belongings. She has quarreled with nearly every member of my family and remains in conflict with them.

This decision to end the marriage is not out of anger but self-preservation. I am choosing to prioritize my mental, emotional, and physical health. I have nothing to hide and no intention to tarnish her image; I am only speaking the truth about my experience.

From this point forward, I am focused on healing, rebuilding, and finding peace again.

Re: I Finally Quit My Marriage. by ARISHEM: 1:38am On Nov 13, 2025
It is when she stabbed you in the neck that you realized that you cannot continue like this. I detest clerics who argue that it is not an excuse that managing the situation and negotiations is the only way.
Like they are waiting until she cut off your head

I think the only thing that would make a woman or anyone go straight to physical violence with you every time there's an issue is if they know that they you can do absolutely nothing about it.

You should not be anyone's footmat in the name of love.

So sorry man!

Over 100 slaps this year and you’re still there? Wow.
grin grin

One retaliation at the early stage of the violence could have saved him a lot of troubles and probably saved his marriage but he chose to be subservient.

If he had died, it would have been a clear case of natural selection.

He has little will to live.

So you mean you courted for 5 years, but couldn't maintain the real thing for even up to two years? That's crazy.

Did she just become violent in your house or love clouded your consideration of her violent nature while courting her? What role have you played in her become hateful/violent towards you? I strongly believe you played a role in this if ever she wasn't violent during courtship.

It is when the woman kills their son, that you will understand why it is better for the family to intervene.
Kobojunkie:
Congratulations @OP!1. Why is your family putting their mouth when the decision is yours? Did they have some sort of contract with your wife that they then feel it is their place to interfere in the divorce? undecided

2. Good decision! From your post, it is not clear if you have actually implemented the divorce or if you only recently decided on this. undecided

3. Please, be sure to opt for shared/joint custody of your children(or full custody if you feel your wife is a threat to them), so you can only have a part in the raising of your own children and maybe have them at least 2 weeks out of each month. undecided

If your family is into doing any such, you better warn them to stay out of husband-and-wife matter, even if divorce, before they meet their match in a woman/man. undecided

I'm sure OP is part of men who kneeled and begged his ex-wife to marry him all in the name of proposing and yeye romance undecided
.
Naturally most women don't respect SIMPS. Women can easily see through men and bring out our weakness. But if ur woman know say plenty craze dey your head, tell me how she will hit and beat you. Ko possible
.
Even to discuss children's school fee matter with you sef, she will need to comport herself, serve you better dinner and sit quietly bedside you before landing the matter
.
But wen una go dey kneel down beg woman to marry u because of booooobs and yaaaaaansh wey go tire you few months into marriage , she sees herself as a demi goddess and starts misbehaving
.
Most women don't misbehave to their husbands with craze and money to take care of her the family. Emphasis on the CRAZE aspect
.
Men should stop acting like sissies and act like men angry

What were the fights about? For things to get to the point of stabbing...

It might be a good thing to report the neck stab, just so there's an official record. Take picture evidence of the wound, hospital reports.

Stay away from her. In fact flee. Block her number, communicate strictly via email, so there's a trail.

If you are careless you could still end up dying at her hands.
Then Tinubu Will end up pardoning her.

"For better for worse" was coined by male-focused systems to help keep women in check. Men being encouraged to stand up against the establishment is actually a good thing. undecided
Men standing up against the establishment is actually good because it will help to elongate the lives of the two parties involved.

Imagine in the centuries before women were subjected to all kinds of weird stuffs because of the "for better for worse," mantra.

She saw you as a weak man.

In marriage there should be a spice of one minute madness from the man once in a while to make sure your wife see you as the leader. University, book or social media will not tell you this.

You courted for 5 years and didn't witnessed these gap in her behavior?

Why wait till after marriage.

I'm sure on your wedding day you both will be happy of building a new home in love.
