Don't worry. He may just be trying to adjust to the fact that he has realised early that he married a manipulative woman. Hopefully he will adjust and learn to cope. |

Only the OP understands why shes apprehensive, she knows her relatives and hubby more than we do. Maybe the mum didnt support her hubby marrying an ibo lady, maybe she had had issues with MIL in the past,there are too many things that might have happened. she knows why shes apprehensive,its quite easy for us to say she has wahala. This one is not really the issue of how long will mama stay there are other things attached to it and those are the main issues. Shes mentioned hubby's support, she doesnt think she can depend on him when she needs his support and also ethnic differences I believe those two points are the genesis of the matter. If you can get hubbys support and look beyond ethicity all will be well. |

Ma'am, I feel no reason to be frustrated. If I come back home and hear my wife has been in a dispute with anybody, I'll be annoyed even if she was the victim. That's why I always give strict instructions to my partner never to get involved in a fight, dispute or whatever No matter what happens. It's better to walk away. About the Mother, you asked in a bad way. Such things are asked at leisure time playfully or stylishly like someone above said. With the way you said, you made if feel unwelcoming. The last one is laughable. Did you even bother to check the mood he was in at that moment? You remind me of someone I refused to date because of behaviours like this. Always wants to be pampered and supported even when she is wrong. |

What is this age long excuse about a man being under pressure each time they screw up, for any pressure a man is going through, a woman goes through it double. Being under whatever kind of pressure is no excuse for meanness. |

Stop lying jare... You're simply compiling unnecessary defensive issues just because his mom is coming over. I bet if his mom calls to postpone the visit or cancel it outrightly, the so called issues would die naturally. Frankly, your attitude is disturbing. First, you opened a thread because you felt the decision is "sudden", what is sudden about a week notice? Secondly, she hasn't even arrived, you've already began to plan her exit. Unless her son is a bas.tard, he will never take your actions lightly. No matter how much we fight our parents, we cannot stand others insult or degrade them. You married a man with a mother, your marriage with him doesn't change the fact that he has a mother. Leave the poor woman alone, she has done you NO harm! Wouldn't you love to visit your son someday? Stop this wicked, selfish and hypocritical way of life. It won't help you. How could you even get married to a man, and expect his family to stay away? |

byvan03:Some men can't stand the pressure.When there's no money,they start throwing tantrums.If they don't get kpekus,they start sulking. It's an inexcusable excuse but many young husbands are that way. |

You fought with your neighbor and you want your husband to take side with you.you didn't let him come home to a peaceful house after a long day at work. Where's your patience!? Well, I guess you lost it before getting married. If not, you would have applied it in your marriage. |

byvan03:it is my dear and there's nothing that's gonna change that. but the good news is there's always a better way out. psychological approach. humans are very predictable. social animals. winner instinct. so with these you can sometimes play the chill part after all marriage is about sacrifice. but then sometimes nothing works. some purple are just total irredeemable jerks, at that point we'll only Blame the devil or probably label it "destiny" |

thorpido:Any silly attitude is always there for whoever chose to claim it, I don't really see people getting irritable during stress as a man thing. I guess this happen to those that followed the crowd into matrimony without understanding it's essence. |

Madam, i understand what u are going through and whats going thru yur husband's mind. Ok look at this scenario: About quarreliing with the neighbour? Yur husband must have stayed in that compound before he brought u in, as his wife. He knows his neighbours and i bet hes the kind of person that hardly quarrel with his neighbour and i bet he doesnt have the time, and also hes the type that resents quarrels amongst neighbours in the same compound.. Everybody should live in peace, that will be his key in living in that compound , am like that too... So when a neighbour complains about a quarrel u guys had, mistake number one he made was, he should have called u and asked yur version.. Then firmly tell u to stay clear from them and mind yur bizness, goodmorning , goodevening,goodbye.. Simple. Thats one perfect way of handle neighbours, no time for chitchat. Then the second one, u could have taken extra money with u, anytime u r going.to unknown destination,be it interview or otherwise. Cause trust me,nobody who is engrossed in his or her job, with clients breathing down their neck, would want to leave his job and go pick u up.. So remember always take extra money with u for tfare. Then, his mother? Its so rude to ask yur hubby when is hes mother going or how long is she staying? For christ sakes , shes his mother.. And i bet u , he will resent u for asking him such question.. If not for his mother, u wont see him to love and eventually marry Try to love the mother and remove the notion am.igbo, hes edo.. As long as u guyz are married , u are both one. If u show him and his family love, u will see how.loving he will be towards u.. Having sezx is not love oo.. But be humane and caring ... Think carefully before u speak to him and place yurself in his shoes, if hes acting the way u r acting towards him. Then judge for yurself how u will react towards him ... Try be selfless, and u will.enjoy yur marriage. Peace. |

A family member is coming to visit and the "head of house" didn't tell his wife ahead when mama is coming and for how long? Such display of superiority should not exist in marriage what happened to teamwork and partnership in marriage? What about complete communication? Who will get the home ready for her visit, who will cook the food mom will eat...etcSimple thing as, Baby mi mom is coming next month for a 3 weeks stay. Or you both plan the trip based on availability of both of your working schedules or other plans. Op, make sure you get a job...you know why ![]() |

@Op; you probably would not like what I am about to type but bear with me as no offense and hope none taken. Here we go; WOMAN; AVOID BEING A PRIMA DONNA. FOR GOODNESS SAKE GIVE THIS MAN A BREAK. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHAT IS THE FUSS ALL ABOUT? WHY ARE YOU BECOMING A NAG AND BEING DIFFICULT? It’s not everything that one must make a complaint about. By now, you should know the type of husband you married and know the things that upset him and avoid them and your husband should do likewise as well. It would not take a hair out of your body if you do so. Fighting with your neighbor must have upset your husband very much and made him not to even ask what the fight was about. Don't get me wrong, he should have at least asked what happened. Bear in mind that your husband probably never had a fight with any of his neighbors before you moved in (I might be right as well as wrong) so it must have come as a shock to here that you had a fight with your neighbor. Learn to live in peace with your neighbors. The other matter you mentioned of being stranded and your husband not making any attempt to pick you up was not pleasant that I can say; but then again, this is one of the reasons you take extra cash with you when going out as you never know what would happen on the way. A piece of advice for you @OP; please allow peace to reign in your home. ALLOW YOU MIL TO VISIT and avoid allowing something as trivial as this to escalate into something big. It is not everything that one must be stubborn about or claim “I AM RIGHT AND I WOULD NOT CHANGE”. Would you be this worried if it were your own mother coming to visit you? Would you be asking your mother how long she would stay? If you know that you won’t be asking these questions in regards to your mothers' visit then desist from asking these question about your MIL's visit as that would be rude and selfish on your part (No offense; hope none taken). Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying that you should not be told about your MIL’s visit; but don’t go about trying to pick a fight about her intended visit. Trust me; YOU WOULD NOT WIN THAT FIGHT; BUT RATHER YOU’LL ONLY GET YOURSELF WORKED UP INTO A FRENZY. You have forgotten that you were not in the picture when your husband and his family were growing up; hence, he has built a strong bond with his family before your arrival. Yours is becoming a case where you are now becoming uncomfortable seeing your husband’s family members in your home. In some cases, women like you would’ve their own family members free to come and go as they please in your marital home; but your husband’s family members would be placed on WRITE ME A LETTER TO TELL ME YOU ARE COMING; and if/when the letter is received, YOU WOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED TO SPEND 1 DAY OR EVEN LESS. Sounds funny right; but that’s the stage you’re currently allowing it to get to and that's not pleasant. At this rate, he's going to detest you if you don't try and draw his family to yourself. LEARN TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR HUSBAND'S FAMILY WITHOUT GRUMBLING JUST AS YOU WOULD ACCOMMODATE YOURS and see how your husband would appreciate you even more. I have seen enough threads here on NL where the fiancée/wife’s attitude portrays the “YOU’LL CHOOSE BETWEEN ME AND YOUR FAMILY”. You better handle this matter now at its initial stage before yours becomes part of the statistics of “HAD I KNOWN”. To note, there are far more challenging issues in a marital home than for this minute issue of your MIL coming around (as that is how I see it IMHO) to cause you sleepiness nights. If that is the norm that your husband wants (different strokes for different folks); then please succumb for peace to reign in the family. It’s not as if he told you that you MIL is moving in with you. She’s only coming to visit and rather than you seeing how you would make her stay a pleasant one you’re already becoming confrontational without even leaving with your MIL for 1 day. Give me a break; this is surprisingly abysmal. Allow your MIL to eat the fruit of her labour just as you would like to eat yours when you eventually become a MIL when it's your time. No one is asking you to be 5 and 6 with your MIL as that is not possible and you know why, she did not give birth to you to create a bond. The only thing asked from you is to get along with your MIL and that's not too much to ask from your husbands perspective. Finally, in this day and age, it only takes trivial issues such as this one you’re facing for divorce proceedings to start. Take this as an alert and try all your efforts to mend your home along with your husband off course. All the best PS: I didn't want to say anything about you mentioning being from a different tribe but as it is, you had to open 2 threads just to re-emphasis about you being Igbo and your husband being Edo. Totally unnecessary if you ask me. You knew the tribe he was from before you married him. Look at him as a man full stop and don't involve tribal issues in your marital home. I rest my case |
