Okay so when the going gets tough, that's when you remember that the responsibilities should be shared 50/50 but in good times, you impose your superiority. Abeg cut me that crap. We're Africans, Nigerians and we're very cultural people. If as you said the man and the wife should have equal responsibility in a marriage, then the man should also be able to cook, clean , take care of the kids and do other chores equally with his wife. That's the only way your theory would make sense.
CapitalCee:
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?

Two years! And doing nothing? I married in 2011, only worked with my certificates for just six months before termination of appointment. It has been hustling for almost 5 years. One can't just sit down and be expecting white collar job by fire by force.
Thank you! Now sense has entered. I can respect a man like you.

rent a piece of land and go into farming, stop wasting your time at home searching for job,
God bless you IMMENSELY for this beautiful piece of PRICELESS advice. I wonder how many people understand the profitability of farming in this period of our national life.
I always beg & advice people not to look for any job, that may tie their destinies down. There's a saying that if you refused to use your destiny someone will pay you for your destiny.

May you become great, in Jesus name.

Women are ENTITLED to certain things in her marriage, to be taken care of and provided for. You call that entitlement mentality? So she's supposed to solely cater for her husband and family abi? Wanting Her rights is now what you refer to as "entitlement mentality?" Okay.

They even have a car he can use for a side hustle to raise money for the farm if he so wishes but he will rather be home reading the book of lamentations. A time of adversity is the ultimate litmus test for manhood.

You are obviously not getting the point. Marriage is a partnership not a parasitic relationship. Yes, men are the providers, but life can happen and that was why God said the woman will be the helper. Meaning she will help him, support him get back on his feet. It is not meant to be a permanent situation hence the statement Men who cannot cater for their families are worse than infidels. There are better ways to motivate your husband instead of nagging and killing whats left of his ego. Supportive words motivate faster than death strokes. But ofcourse, you wouldnt know this.

But where is she now? You said you weren't idle, so what you are saying doesn't matter. You were hustling. You can't have a happy marriage being broke.

Op, your wife is simply displaying the trait that EVERY WOMAN possess,which in simple terms- NO WOMAN is wired to fend for the family. Different women with different tolerance levels (some can tolerate this scenario for some years, some some months, while others its few weeks, if not days), what you are seeing playing out is that your wife has simply reached her own breaking point/ tolerance level and she cant take it no more. This is why I always say that women and men are different beings, they act differently, think differently, and can NEVER BE EQUAL.

Any man that comes here to boast of his wife is this or that or different, my response to you is simple: put this op's scenario to test, and see how long your so called 'special wife/ woman' will continue to respect you. You will be shocked what reactions you'd get from her.

Back to the op, the solution is CERTAINLY NOT to fight your woman, cos she is displaying what every other lady will also display (cos its not like as if you start dating another woman, and remarry another woman and this same scenario plays out, its not like another woman will stay with you, no, she wont once she reaches her breaking point, which your wife has clearly reached).

Women are not wired to be giving or committing funds in any relationship for a very long time, its not in their nature, so oga, quickly try to double your hustle so you can start earning some income to resume your duty as the 'man of the house', which your wife is tired of playing for you. Why not convert your car to e-taxi business (Uber/ Taxify), that way, small income comes in, while you look for other streams of income before you get another good paying job. This way, you will be shocked how your 'nagging or insulting wife' will quickly change back to normalcy and resume her loving, sweet wife that you used to know.

MEN AND WOMEN ARE NOT EQUAL, THEY ARE WIRED DIFFERENTLY AND RESPOND TO MATTERS DIRFFENTLY. DONT CRUCIFY YOUR WIFE.
Nice submission, you nailed it.
No woman on planet earth would assume the responsibility of a man and things would remain the same. Any woman criticising the wife of the complainant is just deceiving herself. Those saying she doesn't love him have lost touch with reality. How do you expect a woman who is stressed out, frustrated, worn out and unhappy for obvious reasons to pamper her husband in the name of love? Dreamers keep dreaming!

Cerebral is an adjective. You are just as smart as your english. Nothing will ever substitute love not even a wicked world.
Cerebral = Go medical a bit..

Love is the most beautiful thing on earth. Of course nothing can substitute it. When using that sentence again, try and add a comma after LOVE.

Also, it's English, not english.

You're worst than your construct.

Re: I Lost My Job, Now I Am Losing My Dignity At Home by Nobody: 9:54pm On Jul 02, 2017
I'm sure a lot of nairaland men must have gone through or are probably going through what you are currently going through. I know of a couple..the wife started her wahala when the husband has less than one year in service to retirement. Mind you this man got the wife's job .a good one @ that. To cut the long story short the wife left him and took the kids away. The man is retired now. A lot of sordid details but for time i can't share. Be thankful that you are still young during this trial....guy double your hustle and reconnect with your GOD or your faith. Succeed for your self and son...then teach him how to be a man.as for your partner....she has her life to live..let her live it how it suits her but one thing you should never ever do is transfer aggression to your son for the mum's wickedness also if you decide to remarry never allow any woman come btw you and your kids. Talking from experience bro.
Re: I Lost My Job, Now I Am Losing My Dignity At Home by Nobody: 9:54pm On Jul 02, 2017
You're the one that's slow and reasoning through your dîck hole!! But what kind of men do we have these days??! Of course the woman is supposed to be catered for, that's to be expected, it's her rights and it's not a Favour being granted to her. I do not support her actions although I do not blame her but her husband should get off his ass and be a MAN as he should be. I'm done replying you Biko.

You just posted my thought..Op brace up...guys like us have been there done that. One of the best moment to test your spouse's endurance and loyalty is when you are down and lacking.
Right now your madam expect you to be cook,cleaner, houseboy, yes-maam-husband, the type when ask a simple question that would respond " wait let me consult with my wife first"....but guess what? so long you are not lazy,be ready to pay some prices..e.g take up offers that could take you away from your comfort zone, you will bounce back...believe me!.

Then your marriage arrangement will have a more adjusted pattern.Cos without money flowing from you, to her, you are worthless.
You have said it all,bro. cheesy

My brother I tire o some ladies are not fit to be called women at all but babies who only stick with you as long as the candy is always there,
Even if you give them a fortress the day you fall from grace they will trample you. They only want to enjoy and not work, when you hammer its our money when they hammer its my personal money I feel it's best to take the Ronaldo route and have surrogate mother(S) for my kids and spare myself they headache at least am paying for the service I get
