Yeah marriage is partnership but he is suppose to shoulder most of the financial responsibility while you support him with what you can, did you try complain to his fam.
There must be someone he listens to.

Hmmm,please what do you mean by an abusive marriage,is it a mentally or emotionally? I can give my input when I know the kind of abuse from your husband. In addition have you sat down to know the trigger of this abuse?

Fine that since 15 years of marriage, no assault, but threatening to beat you to death and being jailed.

Let me ask you this: have you also checked yourself what you are not doing right? Are you submissive and not giving a tough time?

If you satisfy all this, seat ur hubby and ask what could be the sudden change that fade away the first love ❤, he will surely tell you and if the love is gone totally, you can't get it back from him which means he married you out of beauty and not love and since he has gotten what he want, he decided to taste another fish outside and perhaps his love for that is far greater the percentage he have for you.

In this case, you have to take a leave before something strange will happen. Take a leave and he will still come back to beg you if truly your character worth it.

he has not beat me once since 15 years we are married but his plans of beating me to death n going to prison is becoming too much

dollytino4real:
i really loved him b4 because he was handsome and hardworking but tins changed wen we stayed together as husband n wife fully
Very good that you truly loved him. But is he still hardworking now or is he now lazy?
Re: How To Stay In Abusive Marriage!!! by Helpout12345: 5:21pm On Dec 16, 2025
So in summary, from the piece meal information you have given so far.

A 15 year old marriage with 3 children. Woman is now 45 and man is 46 years old. Woman loved the man genuinely at the start of the relationship. She shouldered some family responsibilities (though she thought those responsibilities are not hers).

No physical abuse but man threaten physical arm of recent due to constant complaints from the wife.

Man does not shoulder the family responsibilities as Woman wants him to. The woman thinks it's an abuse. Therefore she is tired of the marriage but she is also not doing well financially to afford to rent a room for herself.
Re: How To Stay In Abusive Marriage!!! by Helpout12345: 5:32pm On Dec 16, 2025
My advise for you are these.

1. You need to stop complaining or reduce your complaints. The man's psychology is seeing them as nagging. Those complaints will not solve anything. You need to start showing him that you are his partner. You understand his challenges and both of you are one in this.

2. Continue to support the family as you can. It's still your family. The children are yours too.

3. Have a complete rethink to heal any negative grudge you might have on him.

4. Have a heart to heart discussion with him for both of you to forgive each other, rebuild your relationship.

5. I want you to know there is very little chance that you will get to marry another better man if you leave your husband of 15 years with 3 children. You might have some man friends that will spend some little money on you just to sleep with you and move on. They will not marry you. You will still have to carry those responsibilities by yourself while outside while messing yourself up with different men.

6. The time to complain or nagg has passed for both of you honestly. You are both old and have grown up children in the family that can understand fully the disunity in the family. It's time to be thinking of how to build a strong loving big family together with your children and grand children that will soon be coming in few years from now.

7. Every marriage has problems. No marriage without issues. If you hear other people problems, you will reconcile with your husband today.

This is what many of you ladies get when you leave the men God ordained for you and marry rubbish because of some useless emotion. Op, your right man would not be abusive to you but would shower you with endless love.

Talk to him and make him understand that he's affecting your mental health. If afterwards he doesn't change then you can file for divorce. Verbal abuse from someone you love is more painful than physical abuse.

The wife is the problem of the marriage.

It doesn't matter what happens. Nothing should make a woman lose respect for her husband. As brutal as that sounds, it is the truth. She who must come to equity must come with clean hands. I don't believe a man you've been with for 15 years becomes a demon overnight. When and why did he change? Was her disrespect a factor?

This is why young men are advised to avoid lazy and unproductive women. Financial pressures are a good trigger for marital conflict. The economy is not sound and a home where the man is the sole income earner will put that man under pressure and cause tension.

It doesn't matter how much love exists between couples. Money issues can push them apart.

no wahala, u go hear my testimony of changes
Re: How To Stay In Abusive Marriage!!! by Kobojunkie:
The comments on this thread show how many Nigerian men largely hate Nigerian women and maybe even their very own wives. 🥱🥱

You know this from the fact that many of these same individuals advising this abused woman to remain submitted to her abusive husband in marriage are the very same ones who immediately insist that Nigerian men should abandon or discard their wives if they even sense incompetence of any sort in the woman. And worse, many of these same individuals believe that they are authorities as far as tradition and religion in their lives. 🥱🥱

Any Nigerian woman asking Nigerian men for advice as far as her marriage is concerned is setting her life up for the misery of the worst kind. Na so so bullsheet, you go continue to chop in marriage until the end. 🥱🥱

FYI - Emotional abuse/manipulation causes trauma/damage to the brain.

Ok thanks for the reply,most times mental abuse do lead to an emotional one,can you stop the complain for like 2 months and see his reaction.....You might text lovingly,write all your complaint on a paper and put it stylishly where he will see it, making him believe you did not do that intentionally. Takes these steps lovingly and see his reaction.
May God heal your home.
