Then why waste money on a wedding? Why keep funding d home when ure just a mere appendage?

So a man will spend so much to raise a family only to be neglected and now becomena bookworm. Mtcheew. If u even said find a 2nd wife, I for talk say u make sense
OP is a WOMAN! Married with kids!
Do you people read at all?

I dey pity am. She don dey dey "bored" na their way be that. Before you know she don dey hop another "spontaneous, and intentional" Gbolciois Gbola, then later gets dumped. She go come realize the treasure wey she get before. I've seen this script play out many times. Women no dey learn from others mistake. Dem must experience am by force. 😂😂
No be only women, men too. It is possible the hubby has a sidechick he's in love with

How will a dog or a doll cure loneliness bro. I'm curious. But yes I agree its mostly waste of time discussing ur life issues with the avg woman. She'll be using it to project ur life and how she fits in. Its always about selfishness
Only people who never had dogs will say this. It is EXACTLY like having a baby that is totally dependent on you

Smile and pretend outside. Wear matching farher xmas clothing on xmas day and share on social media to "pepper dem"

Then when alone in d house, 2 of u sit far apart. U eat alone, u wonder wetin make u marry am. When she open clothe, u think of her past body count. U wonder if she been don do hookup before u marry am. She bills u for nepa money, scl fees, rent, money for inlaws, feeding... then u privately wonder whether ure not being used as a slave and marriage is one well disguised setup against men.

To make matters worse, high bp go wan kill u when u begin suspect say another man dey climb ur woman. U go see signs enh, trust issues go wan kpaai u 😃
😅🤣
Well-said!

I am surprised men dont know this. If u and ur wife are in a serious long drawn out squabble, there would have been an onset of a cold war on who wins the kids over.

You think a woman who risked death, her body shape, her obho size, her youth basically, to birth those kids, and brsttfeed till d brssts lose some elasticity, will just leave u like that?? 😄

The guy better plays a very tight game cos d woman go don deh do mind control on d kids tay tay
But it is wicked to take kids from their mother no.matter what

Read her comments naaa....she said her husband is caring, provides and is a great dad...but because he's traditional makes him a bad husband
She never said he's bad. She actually said he's a good person

Sorry to read this but based on experience, there are two sides to a story especially when it comes to marriage lamentations.

Start to derive your happiness from self and not others. Until you do that, you will never leave this horrible state you are in.

The romance books, glossy celebrity magazines, Nollywood movie, to name a few, are all fake and don't give a good or true reflection of life and relationships.

Also, ignore every single thing you read from Kobojunkie, she doesn't know Jack or has experienced anything, yet she will be the loudest (Anti male) noise in your thread. Misery loves company indeed.

I hope you can turn things round though it does read like the egg had cracked.

Also reflect on the part you have played, if any, to bring you to this point.

You go dey ok las las.
Correction:
Kobojunkie is trans female. Natural Nigerian females simply don't talk like that

The ones who cannot even keep ordinary relationships are here giving advice on how to sustain a marriage, making baseless assumptions and infusing their bitterness into their answers. Even the ones who married rubbish and are regretting it also came to drop their "2 cents." By their fruits you shall know them.

Op SexyRosey, pray for the spirit of discernment to be able to separate the chaff from the wheat when the world is giving you their so called advice. It is only those who have walked in your shoes that can truly understand what you are going through.
No mind Kobojunkie and her/his chatgpt posts.
This person below is not too bad tho

Double0h7:
I’m sorry you’re experiencing this at the moment. I think the best thing to do is to redirect your attention inwards.

Show yourself love, compassion, and kindness. Take care of yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. Everything you are missing, you can give to yourself.

Focus on your own self development, set goals for yourself and enjoy the dopamine boost when you achieve them.

The world mirrors back our beliefs and thoughts, so consider what you’re putting out there. We teach people how to treat us by the way we treat ourselves. Don’t let these current feelings trick you into further self sabotage (looking for those things outside your marriage) and cause you to further hate yourself.

That idiom "experience is the best teacher" slaps so hard when a woman hands u that experience.

Have you called your partner, and spoken to him about how you feel and what you're passing through?
Easier said than done. When both of you know that he knows exactly what's going on!

If a man is cheating, he can forget his wife.

Some men take the wife for granted because she is his. The same can also happen to the woman.

She might put on a lot of weight. She might even have a potbelly. She dresses sloppily, tying wrapper most days. She doesn't go the extra mile to cook him something special. The spark could go out.

It is same for the man. Her loneliness may truly be real.
Well-said. It is a little like expecting a lion to appreciate the meat given to him in a cage as much as meat he hunted and killled.

If your partner is not intentional about your relationship or marriage. Leave.
Don’t tie your life to one person. There are thousands out there unless you are scared of being alone or single.
What you are going through is hell.
I have been there before.
Since I stepped outta there, I have more peace than I can ever imagine.
Live your life for yourself and yourself alone.
Funk the World!

Sexyrosey
OP don't listen to this moniker. You said yourself you husband is a good person. There are not too many good persons out there

Tenrack:
I Neva talk finish, dem don dey advise her to go find "intentional" deeeek. This gender too dey predictable grin😂😂 lmao. Always seeking to destroy themselves. Funny creatures. OP please take this advice and find yourself a "better" man. But when it goes sideways be sure to give us update abeg. 😂😂

Re: Married But Lonely by QuinQ: 4:01pm On Jan 25

Dear Rosey,

It’s very evident you love your husband and want him to reciprocate. I am a man of similar mode although I am emotionally present, her feelings matter so much to me, I care so much about her, 100% provider, hands on with house chores but my only problem - I am not romantic (well according to her)

She loves lovey-dovey-touchy and holding hands when we walk on the road but I am not like that. But ever since she brought it to my attention, I do hit and miss and she sees the effort I make. Her happiness means the world to me and I will even sacrifice my life for her to be happy.

Most men like me grew up in loving families but we didn’t see our fathers or the environment we grew up in show this PDA or romance. We grew up way to masculine and learn romance as much as we can but placing greater emphasis on providing for the family.

I suggest you write him a love letter detailing everything you feel and how much you long for him to be there. I want to believe that the thought of not knowing that he has been hurting you all these years and the fear of loosing you will make him to start putting the effort.

It’s a gradual process and you have to play a significant role in it to draw him out. He will respond to your stimuli albeit on a hit and miss basis until he catches up.

Please always communicate your needs and how you feel and watch how you will gradually get the love of your life back

You'll know the experienced ones when they write and give true life scenarios, not those ones who don't know what they are writing about. Their experience is from the School of ''Trust Me, I Know What I'm Saying''

Duh. Im a nigerian. Wbats my business if Senegal won Americam presidency? Your statement is non sequitor.

"Her husband probably knows". Thats a whole lot of probably. The best way for her to communicate her lonliness to him, is via social media? On the pages of Nairaland?

Also, she is the only Woman name Rose in Nairaland, right? The way you jump and make assumptions, hope you didnt break a knee when making it?

Many marriages are exactly like this. But they persist and accomplish what marriages are for - raise children!

What surprises me is how some of yiu folks will be on NL for years and still not be able to know the "voice" of a Nigerian woman. That's how I know that Kobojunkie cannot be a natural Nigerian woman. Can't you tell that I cannot be a Nigerian woman? I'm amazed at you folks who can't recognize "voice". Unless the person posts very little, you can't fool me!

You know full well that's a HUGE LIE! I never doubted anything about her or authenticity of her story. I am infact who singlehandedly brought it to Frontpage by tagging the mods.

You on the other hand spent enormous amounts of words and energy arguing she's NOT married!
Do you still believe she's not married?😅

True. But they persist and stay and raise the the children. And stay till one of them dies.
One old woman said she started living only after her long-time husband died
