You can't have feelings when you cannot pay your bills.

My marriage would have been a victim of these reasons but thank God my wife always come to my rescue... She has always been the one calling me to order... Thank God I did not marry a liability... A responsible married man living below 200$ with kids during this Tinubu era must have a wife earning at least 150$ a month to balance life...
Please don't marry out of pressure oo... If at all u have to marry then marry a partner who works... Don't marry LIABILITIES
You Dey feel am 😀😃

Physical intimacy is one of the things that keeps a relationship feeling close. But for many couples, it slowly fades, and it can be confusing or even frustrating. There are some common reasons why this happens.

1. Stress and Busy Lives

Life gets hectic. Work deadlines, school, kids, or family responsibilities can leave both partners drained. When you’re tired or stressed all the time, it’s hard to feel like being close or intimate...

2. Lack of Communication

If you don’t talk about your feelings or what you want, misunderstandings build up. Sometimes one partner feels rejected or unnoticed, and neither says anything. Over time, this can make being physically close feel uncomfortable.

3. Emotional Distance

Being intimate isn’t just about touch—it’s about feeling connected. If you’ve been drifting apart emotionally, cuddling or kissing can start to feel forced or empty. Feeling emotionally close often brings back physical closeness too.

4. Health and Energy

Illness, hormonal changes, or even some medications can lower desire. Things like depression, diabetes, or high blood pressure can make it harder to feel in the mood, even if love is still there.

5. Routine and Boredom

Doing the same things over and over, both in life and in the bedroom, can make intimacy feel boring. When things feel predictable, the excitement that fuels closeness can fade.

6. Lingering Conflicts

Old fights, resentment, or hurt feelings don’t just stay in your head—they affect the bedroom too. If you feel hurt or ignored, being physically close can feel unsafe or unwelcome.

The good news is, intimacy can come back. It starts with small steps: talking openly, showing affection, and spending time together. Simple things like holding hands, hugging, or sharing a compliment can slowly rebuild that closeness.

Remember, it’s normal for intimacy to dip sometimes. What matters is noticing it and caring enough to try again

some work but too Stingy to assist their husbands ,
remembered what my $tupid father in-law told me when I complained her daughter doesn't assist me financially at home,
I wasn't broke, only took a loan from my work place which I must pay back,
my father in-law open mouth dey tell me say na my duty to provide not hers,
I replied him immediately, if I die, I will see if my dead body will provide, oga Ur daughter is to stingy

All these op self en

Na their life problems Dem dey like to dey share

Marriage get code, you have to learn the programming scope

And maintain upgrade constantly

Money may not even keep woman when that time comes, u self go shock again

Na people wey dey choose beauty dey cry pass
Re: Most Couples No Longer Enjoy Physical Intimacy Because Of These 6 Reasons by Adesina18111(m): 7:48am On Apr 18
I am sorry to say but that kind of father-in-law does not deserve ur respect...u would be surprised to know that her daughter (ur wife) has been the one taking care of him while you her husband needs her help...I am not praising my wife and her mom oo but if thats what it looks like trust me they deserve it
.. indirectly my mother-in-law has always been of help...my mother-in-law would come to our house and tell me She knows me and my wife won't take money or foods from her but she would insist on taking our two kids to her place for some days to ease the burden...sometimes I would want to refuse cos I don't want see finish at all but she would insist they are her grandkids and if we were not around she would take care of them..and once we are back on ur feet like this, we go buy foodstuffs and even send money to her before we go pick up the kids...cos my wife always remind me that they respect me in their house and she doesn't want that to change at all...

When he says support does it mean it's only you that owns the family? Anyway you answered him well , may we not marry our enemy. You can't love someone then watch him suffer alone when you have the means to make life easier for him.
