BrotherJesu:What about the illegitimate child? Isn't that a constant reminder that your father broke his marital vows? Do you think that is something easy to forgive? What does he do with his salary? Probably spend it on other women. Before you remove the speck from your mother's eye, you should remove the log from your dad's. |

The reason I am raising a kid all alone now is because i married a man who have a mother just like yours(Only difference is she never bought a car from her bread business. )I can imagine the kind of advice she will install in you when you get married and decides to bring her into your marriage. Let's call a spill a spill. You seems closer to your mum but can't help the attitude she gives to dad, so i believe all you've said. You can only talk to both of them and if no yielding, call an elder they both respect. Mind you, self pride is the worst thing that can happen to man. I don't see your mum coming o terms with your dad. If we must face reality, I will say call someone they both regard to talk to them, if no result, then just leave them alone and remain prayerful until a miracle and happens. |

The only questions I have is what your Dad does with his 400K monthly salary? Why should your mum be the one to get a car for your Dad, he isn't jobless, if he needs a car he should get one for himself. Why is she the one picking up 80% of the bills when your Dad receives 400K monthly but never seems to have any money? What does he do with his money? If what she said was true, she will surely feel more pressured to stay financially buoyant plus have they always been like that? Some women take the focus on your work and children route when they are being emotionally dealt with in marriage. I don't know why you are concentrating on your mum as the bad one when clearly they both have issues. Your dad isn't the Saint you are painting him to be and you are crazily biased. |

AFONAMARO:I don't see a car as such a valuable to attach so much sentiments to. That's me personally. The only reason she probably instructed her son not to allow his father drive the car she bought with her money is so that he doesn't carry his new baby mama and child in it. I feel that's fair enough, as most people will not want their wives to carry her lovers in a car they bought for her. So it's not really about turning the OP against his father. Allowing the father drive her car (and he'll definitely carry his new family in it) is just like rubbing salt/pepper on a fresh wound. The Ops mother has her blames, but so does the father. The only reason the OP still has any respect for his father is because his mother is successful enough to meet all his needs, so he has never really experienced any lack. If all his mother's hustles didn't pay off, and he's had to struggle to feed, clothe, pay school fees despite his father earning reasonably well I'm very sure he would probably be saying a different story about his dad. Like I said, hunger is no man's friend, and those who struggled with irresponsible parents are the best to give an objective view of this. I see a lot of threads on NL attesting to such. |

eyinjuege:Honestly i am shocked at the number of Nigerian men that are covered by their wives. I just never knew this, but honestly i have now seen a lot of homes and men showing off that are really not the bread winners and are using their wives money to feel manly. What i have noticed is that some cultures in Nigeria really frown on divorce or leaving and so the women just deal with it. I mean strong looking, handsome and vibrant men! I'm amazed. |

grafixdon:Nobody would notice if there's understanding between them. Epileptic communication amongst couples is the major ingredients to marital challenges... Everyone has allotted blames to all parties... i wont do that.. My verdict, the family needs time apart for a while with the right mindset. he's sober, which means he wants the good old days back... He can start by calling regularly while away, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. He needs to buy a CAR too. take care of himself, double his hustle. Competitions are healthy. @BrotherJesu, U have to be neutral.. remind them of the good memories they shared... Spice things up For instance, " Mum, dads been calling.... I think he's in love again"... Plan a dinner date for them both after a while... I like the part where you said you are a man...so I'm sure you know what to do... As for your mum...She's still a woman....Soft inside.. She craves for what every woman wants... |

My dear, sorry about what u are going through, but truth be told, this marriage may have just broken down irrevocably except Christ intervenes. The way I see it, popsy was stingy, mumcy became rich and rubbed it all over popman. popman seeked validation outside and got a child, mum feels seriously scorned. Hmmmm, please prepare ur mind for anything while trying to make them talk and reconcile. BrotherJesu: |

Your dad was using his 409k salary to finance his mistresses/concubines. Now one had a child for him. Yes somehow your mom was supposed to be the bread winner, home keeper and stil bow down to him and his wandering peenis. If your mom is serious about traveling abroad make sure you support her and if you have any siblings under 18 they can benefit from that by going along with her automatically. If you really love your mom, you wouldn't want her slaving away for your father and his mistress/es to enjoy. God forbid one of them kills her, you will see how fast his total loyalty will shift to the new pucci and the children that came from there. Don't be your own enemy. |

GoodFaith:All what you said are "maybes". There is no evidence that is what happened and even if the wife stopped sleeping with him, he could have filed for divorce, instead of impregnating another woman. |
| Re: My Mum's Pride Is Breaking My Family Apart. by GoodFaith: 4:46pm On Sep 18, 2017 |
cococandy:Do u know, if the man had the mistress/es after the wife started to treat him like trash? |

Filmdirect:I've seen more than enough That's why I'm surprised when the e-warriors on NL keep insulting Nigerian women. Don't they see what I see almost everywhere? Are they so oblivious of what Nigerian women contribute to the homes? It's not even a big deal, as I believe couples should protect each other and look after one another, for the common good. The problems start to arise when they're no longer on the same page, and one starts feeling cheated.. |

BrotherJesu:First and foremost, ur mum isn't telling u everything. If dad earns 400k, why did he leave d running of d house to mum? Most women over protect their husband, so they get very disappointed and misbehave when pushed to the wall. But as its a man's world in Africa, the men will come playing victim. If u allow ur mum to tell u the full story, u may diswn ur dad. Seen lots of women in this shoe |

Adaumunocha:The problem with Nigerians is that we worship wealth too much, and equate wealth with respect. That's why the likes of Evans will always be amongst us. Why would you say a man is weak because he couldn't afford to buy a car, and his wife is able to? That's a wrong mindset to carry about o. There's more to life than money. There are a lot of values a man can carry than wealth please. |
| Re: My Mum's Pride Is Breaking My Family Apart. by GoodFaith: 5:36pm On Sep 18, 2017 |
eyinjuege:Great point sometime money getting in people's head In Nigeria there is still the mentality If the man make less the man still have to carry the whole problem in is head because he make less , he is less than a man Marriage is a team -- "IT IS WE" |

eyinjuege:You don't get the gist. I seriously don't see myself driving a car and my husband trekking it! Impossible. Won't have anyone laugh at my family. Mind you the wife bought 3 Cars o... |

Nancy2016:NO You are young The more experiences you get the more open minded you become life is sometime a bitch Make yourself happy is the goal for all individuals All the decision we make has a price Men and women must be willing to pay that price You can cheat yourself of happiness , If you are not willing to pay that price |

Adaumunocha:My dear, that's if your husband hasn't impregnated another woman outside. Who will want their spouse who stabbed them in the back to carry his lover in a car she bought with her money? Do you really expect the love for her husband to be that strong especially since he not only had an affair, but came home with A1 score? A child from another woman. Please reason this n.a., she's also human |
| Re: My Mum's Pride Is Breaking My Family Apart. by Adaumunocha(f): 5:53pm On Sep 18, 2017 |
eyinjuege:Thought she had the cars before he impregnated another woman. Anyway, may God shield us away from such spouse. |
