I really wish I had never married this man. I dont know what is keeping me in the union but oh no, I dont have any happy time with him.

He is not committed at allllllllllllll, am in pain, deeply sad and sorrowful. He is promiscuous, have speech issues and maybe memory issues. Very had to please and make this difficult always.

He'd rather please outsider than me making me and the kids happy. When I got pregnant, I only received 100k from him to buy infants items as I had twins, I funded every other things and not that he doesnt have money. We build our house together but his family sees him as their Lord and this man train his cousins, nieces, and now had the mind to tell me again that he has adopted another child of his cousin to sponsor. He never pays our kids school fees 100%, I'll always have to balance the rest cos I do not want embarrassment from their school.

We moved abroad some years ago and no he says he'll drive my kids out of the house once they clock 14, but he is training his family children who are over 25 years old. Well, I don't have many, I can train them but I truly regret this marriage,

I am never going to advise anyone ot marry.

Coming abroad, this man would sit and call those in Nigeria for hours daily, he is never serious with his work and will chose to work form home until he got sacked and since then he's being struggling to get a job and I am getting blammed daily. He said his friends called him to warn him never to give me a smiling face, they dont know I have never had a smiling face from him and this man has gone from bad to worst.

You all who it to read social media comments over men who cry woes abroad, if I leave this one now and he comes on social media, you all will start to condemn the woman without listening to her. Am in pain, it has gone from worse while in Nigeria to worst here abroad. Everyday he says marriages dont work abroad, regret coming but go back he is refusing saying we must all go back with him. I cant, I rather remain here and cut off from all my friends and family.

Maybe I remained in the marriage because of shame from people around. And I am not from that loving family so they'll laugh me.

Am so sad; at times, I just feel I never said yes to him, I had many other suitors. but I considered him because he was nice then, things changed the very first day we got married, he started telling me all the evil advise his family had advised him.

I regret building with him; I should have invested on my own.

He has never bought even a shirt for his kids, shoes, toys, christmas cloths, nothing, i Mean notihng, never. when their school asked they buy laptops, he said they are not of the age, nothing. But this man dishes out money to others. I have been supportive enough, but still not appreciated. All i get is name calling, I have never since our marriage of 16 years received a gift, I dont know what it looks like. They have never owrn christmas dress bought by their father.
The signs are always there, but you ignored, now you are seeing wonders = signs & wonders 😂😂😂

Aunty marriage is for better for worst, manage your problem like that.

I will only advise you to ignore him and focus on yourself and children.
Re: 16 Years Of Tears In My Marriage by Originalsly:
The advice to fellow women should be to take time to know a man before lounging into marriage. She chose him "because he was nice" the moments he was in her presence. Men make the same mistake... choose women because she was nice the few moments she was in his presence. Rush to marry then the tue colours pop out. Abroad.... she should be seeking a divorce.... Irreconcilable differences ... but the real reason being he has no interest in his family. How can you not put your kids first?... and he's not been working? the system will force him to work ... and pay... or... go to prison or self deport. Guy is a loser.

This alone makes it clear this is click chasing bs.

You cannot chase your kids out of the house in obodo oyibo until they are legal adults

All this story would make sense in Naija not in the abroad where the law leans heavily on the woman's side. In Naija it is the other way round and if the snippet about abroad had not been inserted, one might be able to believe the story.

Your version which I can swear with my dick is full of bullsheet. He is terrible but you shined teeth during your wedding, spread your legs many times for him to grow his seeds. Even while he was processing papers for abroad, you gladly joined and I'm sure you took selfies inside plane to oppress your friends. Now that you're abroad, you have started complaining again. The fact here is that you have made plans to dump him and join the wicked class of Nigerian women abroad but you're looking for Justification because that man has done nothing but being everything to you. You can fool everyone but not people like us who see through hypocrisy and lies easily.

... So where's he getting all the money he's sending home?
You saw a richman and chose him over other suitors.
You chose this life, it's best you adjust to the current realities.
Leaving that man will mean you've used him and dumped him.
Marriage is for beta for worse

Forgive yourself for choosing to spend 16 years of your life with him.
Forgive yourself for choosing him as the father to your children.
Forgive yourself for refusing to heed the many red flags and warnings over all those years with him.
Forgive yourself for choosing the opinions and validation of others over your own happiness and that of your children for so long.
Forgive yourself for making excuse after excuse to remain shackled to that which has caused you so much heartache... You are human, and we all make mistakes. 🤔

You now know that you are better off walking out of the situation. What is now important is you picking yourself up and creating a life better than you have had to endure for the past 16. Shift your focus and your mind, in full gear, in the right direction needed at this point, to distance you and the kids from the past failures. That is more important than the woes. undecided
Don't be one-sided c'mon kiss
She's not happy she gave birth kiss
She's not happy, she do visa
She's not happy, she moved abroad
For sixteen whole years!
Na this kind woman dey advise her children against their father.
Na this kind woman dey also dey discourage other women against their husbands or against getting married kiss
This one sef, her eyes still dey outside sha kiss

Abeg make we hear word. Everyday Nigerian women are tired in their marriages. Come out, no way

If you want to leave, you leave.
You want to stay, stay.

A Nigerian woman seeking advice on marital issues already knows what she would be told by the majority. So I am beginning to think it is a coping mechanism for many. Rant about the man, rinse and repeat. Then blame "society" for making them remain there.

He has never done this, never done that. But you went through something lifechanging as pregnancy for/with him.
The moment i read that the man has never paid complete school fees, i laughed and stopped reading. Women and cooked up stories.

Sorry about your situation if you're telling the truth.

This is not a time to regret about the past and I am not in support of you leaving the marriage.
Focus on training your children and make them the best of their world since God blessed you with good children and the finances to take care of them.
Live the best of your life and make yourself happy always.

In as much as he's not a violent person, don't allow your children to have a broken home.
Good advice. Thank you.
It's not too late for the man to turn around.
Most likely blinded or distracted for now.
Please keep praying for him because when God answers and He will answer you will really dance.
16 years is still young, our people say evening sun is better than morning sun 🌞.
You can still enjoy plenty.
You will still enjoy plenty.

I will advise you to send your sister to Dino Melaye for marriage, and let us hear the outcome, Dino not only educated, he is rich and even added law degree join the geography he first studied.

He trained other ppl kids, adopt them and pay Der fees complete but his own seed he won't pay complete or takecare of them.

Tell that to women and mugus

My wife never works and I pay all the bills 100% but whenever she wants to talk to an outsider if we had any issue she will say I HV never done anytin for her

I thought I'm alone in this. Women are really terrible creatures. Wished I never married at all.

My friend had same issue and she claimed he never did anything 😄😄😄

Bliv women at Ur own risk

I can't even believe what I've just read. Suffer head must mark register in your life since the title Mrs is the most important....once done you will know what to do. Until then, stay afloat for the kids. They need you more than you need yourself.

It's very possible, I've seen this first-hand in my mum's cousin's husband. At the end of the day, his business crumbled. His children were very young and only one had gained admission at the time. Some of the relatives he trained and were already standing on their feet no look his side. His children will go and meet them for assistance, they will give them like ₦2k and turn them away. The man's regret till he died was not using the money he used in training cousins and half siblings to secure his children's future. Thank God they're all grown and doing well for themselves today.
Life is good.
Don't you think the children doing well today also has to do with the good deeds his father sowed in the life of his relatives?
God is faithful and he sees all our efforts and He is a rewarder.

Reading this was heartbreaking. Sixteen years is a long time to carry this kind of emotional weight, and no one deserves to feel unloved, unappreciated, or like an afterthought in their own home.

That said, before anyone on social media tells you to "leave immediately" or "endure at all costs," I'd encourage you to first ask yourself one important question:

Is this marriage difficult, or has it become emotionally and financially abusive?

From what you've shared, this isn't just about money. It's about priorities, neglect, emotional distance, and feeling like your children consistently come second to everyone else. That can leave deep emotional scars over time.

My advice would be to stop suffering in silence. If it's safe to do so, seek professional marriage counseling. If he refuses, please don't refuse counseling for yourself. You need clarity, emotional support, and a plan—not because you're weak, but because you've been carrying this alone for far too long.

Also, continue building your own financial independence. Looking back with regret won't change the past, but making wise decisions now can change your future.

Finally, please don't stay in a marriage only because of shame or what people will say. The people who criticize you won't live with the consequences of your decisions—you will.

Whatever you decide, make it from a place of wisdom, not exhaustion or fear. And if there are signs of emotional abuse, threats, or any form of physical violence, please prioritize your safety and that of your children.

I sincerely hope you find peace, whether that's through genuine reconciliation with a changed husband or through making the decision that's healthiest for you and your children. You deserve a life where you don't have to beg for love, respect, or basic partnership.

I really wish I had never married this man. I dont know what is keeping me in the union but oh no, I dont have any happy time with him.

He is not committed at allllllllllllll, am in pain, deeply sad and sorrowful. He is promiscuous, have speech issues and maybe memory issues. Very had to please and make this difficult always.

He'd rather please outsider than me making me and the kids happy. When I got pregnant, I only received 100k from him to buy infants items as I had twins, I funded every other things and not that he doesnt have money. We build our house together but his family sees him as their Lord and this man train his cousins, nieces, and now had the mind to tell me again that he has adopted another child of his cousin to sponsor. He never pays our kids school fees 100%, I'll always have to balance the rest cos I do not want embarrassment from their school.

We moved abroad some years ago and no he says he'll drive my kids out of the house once they clock 14, but he is training his family children who are over 25 years old. Well, I don't have many, I can train them but I truly regret this marriage,

I am never going to advise anyone ot marry.

Coming abroad, this man would sit and call those in Nigeria for hours daily, he is never serious with his work and will chose to work form home until he got sacked and since then he's being struggling to get a job and I am getting blammed daily. He said his friends called him to warn him never to give me a smiling face, they dont know I have never had a smiling face from him and this man has gone from bad to worst.

You all who it to read social media comments over men who cry woes abroad, if I leave this one now and he comes on social media, you all will start to condemn the woman without listening to her. Am in pain, it has gone from worse while in Nigeria to worst here abroad. Everyday he says marriages dont work abroad, regret coming but go back he is refusing saying we must all go back with him. I cant, I rather remain here and cut off from all my friends and family.

Maybe I remained in the marriage because of shame from people around. And I am not from that loving family so they'll laugh me.

Am so sad; at times, I just feel I never said yes to him, I had many other suitors. but I considered him because he was nice then, things changed the very first day we got married, he started telling me all the evil advise his family had advised him.

I regret building with him; I should have invested on my own.

He has never bought even a shirt for his kids, shoes, toys, christmas cloths, nothing, i Mean notihng, never. when their school asked they buy laptops, he said they are not of the age, nothing. But this man dishes out money to others. I have been supportive enough, but still not appreciated. All i get is name calling, I have never since our marriage of 16 years received a gift, I dont know what it looks like. They have never owrn christmas dress bought by their father.

Pls try and commit your family to God in prayers.
We worry about too much things but simply forget prayers...
God is the only one that can change a mans heart....
God direct the heart of kings...
Concentrate on yourself and your children...
Give them the best!

This alone makes it clear this is click chasing bs.

You cannot chase your kids out of the house in obodo oyibo until they are legal adults

All this story would make sense in Naija not in the abroad where the law leans heavily on the woman's side. In Naija it is the other way round and if the snippet about abroad had not been inserted, one might be able to believe the story.
You didn't see this part? ⬇️⬇️

The story is just weird and seemed cooked up….
