sit her down... Talk to her about it.. .... She's probably thinking you've given up on looking for a job.. And that you've turned her to the bread winner.. Explain things to her... She's a woman she needs to be assured things will go back to the way they were

Op you were just so unfortunate to marry a bad wife.

but come to think of it, some men pour out their frustration on their wives when they loose their jobs, hope that's not Wat u do thereby making her angry. This can also lead to careless comments from her.
Bahahahaha! Bahahahaha!

Op, a woman cannot have respect for a man who does not work while she pays all the bills. Please hurry and get a job, so things can go back to the way they were.
He should divorce.

Truth is, most of the women suffering from domestic violence are those without means of income. Some men that see their wives as burdens and useless, eventually they turn their wives to punching bags knowing that she has nowhere to run to cos she's dependent. So a spouse ill-treating the other because he/she has no means of income is not peculiar to a specific gender. I've seen cases where the wife carry the bulk of the financial responsibilities without any issues. Anyways, the advice I will give op mylander is the same I will give a jobless woman suffering maltreatment in her marriage. Go and get a means of income, no matter how little. May God bless your union and ease your affairs.

Totally untrue

A man who physically beats his wife does so because it is what he has taught himself to do not because she isn't earning her own money. Most men who beat their wives started when they had girlfriends , a man who won't lay a hand on a lady before marriage will not do so after marriage , it has nothing to do with her finances/income

Do you know how many people in the US and UK have GERD? An employer would laugh in your face over this excuse. Only in Nigeria can such a disease stop someone from working. Get up lazy man and find a job. Support your family!!

Terrible comments coming from some ladies on this thread. Just four months and u're already eviscerating him mentally. What happened to your vows, or is it now for better, for better. How on earth do your expect things to go back to normal if he eventually gets back on his feet?
I'm surprised she hasn't started telling the kid how useless the father is.

You are being very naive. She didn't marry him while he was unemployed, so why should she suffer now? I'm sorry to inform you but all things are conditional. No woman wants a broke man. It's not attractive. If he wants a peaceful marriage, he needs to find a job.

Do you say naive....it obvious you were describing yourself.
While I believe the man is the provider in the family, however if a man is challenged temporarily a fake woman like you would bring out your true colors having initially deceived him by showing him fake love because of his pocket.What a shame!!!!
It's your type that often fall into regretful situations.

Someone once said that it's big trouble when the wife is the one financing the home while the husband is idle. Ogbeni, I really don't blame her. As a man, you're the head of the home and you should act as such, so don't come here saying you were the one paying for everything when you still had a job, that's your responsibility.I'm not justifying her actions oh, it's unfortunate that you are stuck with an impatient woman that doesn't understand what having your back means. Well, you don't expect her to have your back forever. What I'll tell you to do is to find a new job or at least get busy and get back on your feet. Please forgive your wife, she doesn't know what she's doing. Don't ever try to punish or get back at her for her unreasonable actions.

Can you just stop it. Stop it, what do you mean he doesn't expect he Shouldn't expect her to have his back forever? Is it not what marriage is all about? The way you ladies talk sometimes baffles me, is it his fault that he lost his job? What do you mean it's his responsibility? so it's not her responsibility to pay for the house rent of where she is living, it's not her responsibility to feed her child, it's not her responsibility to pay for the food stuffs of the food she and her child and husband consume, it's not her responsibility to pay for the utility bill of the apartment she occupies, just because she is married. Let me tell you it's NOT the man's responsibility to foot all the family bills. The money she is earning is not her own, it belongs to the family. So the man should die because he married an a5shole of a wife? No wonder when so men die due to family stress their stupid wife put them into, the man's family members will say the wife killed him, will you blame them?

There are two ways to it.
* it's either you married a bad and golddigger as a wife or.
* the woman is annoyed because you are relaxed in the situation. are you making effort to find something doing?, not necessarily a job but things like business, farming etc cos that's the way to go now.

There is nothing he'll say that she doesn't know. Let him look for a job no matter how small and take his rightful place in his family.

Since she is the one carrying all the financial burdens for now, you should take over her former responsibilities like cooking, housework, looking after the kids etc. so there can be peace in the house.

People will tell you it's normal, but that's a lie. When I see men ranting on how they can never marry a woman who earns more _because she won't respect then, I just know they are yet to experience true respect. Sadly, that's the mentality of the average man, using money to earn respect and love.


Your wife never loved or respected you. Maybe you didn't know, maybe you knew_and like so many other men, you never knew this day would come. Pick yourself up, use the contacts you made in the banking industry, you shall excel again.

mylander:
Please advise.

I was in an employment of a bank until recently when my employment was terminated.

When I had the job, I took my family welfare as my priory. My wife and our only son were faring good, I always ensure we do not lack the basic necessities. Meanwhile, my wife did not have a job then. All the house upkeep expenses including the cost of running her postgraduate program were on me and I felt comfortable bearing the costs as the breadwinner of the family.

After I lost my job in the bank some month ago, my wife got an employment with the state govt. With her little income, she has been able to assist in bearing some expenses, even she pays for fuelling our car sometimes.

The drama has now started in the house and our marriage is on the verge of breaking up.

Any little issue, my wife will turn it to quarrel, different abuses. Funny enough, she would be referring to the financial supports she has been rendering in the house. This is a woman that did not work at all for 2 years and I was bearing all the expenses with pleasure. Now she had only supported me for about 4months now and she's is misbehaving.

To my surprise, my wife maintains a record in which she records every penny she spends in the house including food items and fuel. With this, she always ask me when will I pay him back.

At the instance of a simple argument/misunderstanding, my wife would be boasting of 'I paid for this, I paid for that....' 'If not for my support since you had problem at work......'

Please advise me, I am getting fed-up with the situation, my wife had changed totally.

Sorry Op but the fact is......

Women are created to be ungrateful, this act is synonymous to many ladies.

I don't know what's wrong with them.
I know ladies don't ever love their husband but rather their children.

@op forget about her rant, strive to get a better job or start doing something even if it's not lucrative.


Women don't love me, they only fall in love with you just to change their marital status to Married.
