Well wisdom is from God. Thanks too

They chase shadows and leave the precious jewels behind. Their love is fickle and built on wrong foundations.

Mine is a bit different. It's about how my marriage is going to end. As negative as it may sound, I currently feel I will have to bring and end to this marriage in order to be happy.

The problems:
Keeping secrets and telling lies about everything from past relationships to whether she had dinner. Once visited a male friend without my knowledge. Still passing off an ex as a family friend, and keeping that relationship (platonic or not) going till today. Just to name a few.

And it's not just about ex's. The lies and deceit from her are at a level I never imagined I would have a personal experience of, and with marriage I have realized; unfortunately for me, that it runs in their family. For example, I found out after marriage that the house she took me to meet her parents is not their house. And everyone in their family played along.

My curiosity was aroused when I noticed her deleting chats from her phone about two days after the wedding but it faded in the excitement of that period. I was intrigued further when I observed another red flag phone conversation after two weeks while still adjusting to the new status, and then I knew something was not right. So I decided to investigate some of my concerns and the stuff I have found make my heart sink. I realize I am being betrayed repeatedly and now have virtually lost trust in her words, actions and intentions.

Let me add that I never expected an angel, we're human and are all liable to lie and stuff like that, but with her its like a deep rooted problem and I find that I can't deal with it. I'm too open and straight-forward to be matched up with a pathological liar.

I have confronted her on some of the lesser lies (e.g she lied about her salary on a job she got through my network, lied that she didn't do MMM whereas she did twice, lies to maintain her previous lies, and just lying even when it's unnecessary). I have had to be playing the fool just to get enough information to confront her with when the time comes. Because I don't want to bring up a situation that will leave room for any family members and their expected begging, or reconciliation.

I am glad now that I did not question her immediately. Now that I know her much more from living together, I realize she would have just told more lies to cover up and blocked my means of finding out once she found out my method of getting info, and I wouldn't have gotten all the additional information I have now. I know a lying is an essential ingredient of cheating, and I am only anticipating catching her red-handed on a matter of faithfulness, and that's it.

For those who say some comments here are from people making out to be victims and not confessing their own shortcomings, I say with a sense of seriousness, DON'T JUDGE. And I sincerely pray you don't find yourself in these types of circumstances. As for me though, I have become more irritable and tend to over-react at times. For example, I have reacted physically, though regrettably, on two separate occasions in the early days of my discoveries, but now I'm not as shocked anymore and find it easier to keep my cool. Additionally, I don't show as much care as I can, and probably don't regard her with the kind of respect she deserves as my Mrs. The love has diminished. But that's what happens when trust flies out of the window.

What I've written above does not do the situation justice as it's not possible to capture everything in a few paragraphs, but overall I have not been genuinely happy for months and want out for sure.

Please note that I am not looking for sympathy or consolation as I know what I've gotten myself into. I'm just sharing so that someone can learn from my experience, and also hoping to read others' experiences as well.

You smart and emotionally strong. I know your plans and its the right thing to do sir.

Hmmmmm. I know the trauma of having a lying partner. You have to find out the truth about a thing long before asking her and even when you do, you stil sometimes doubt yourself cos of terrific style of manufacturing the sweet lies. When she says it is raining, you stylishly look through the window to confirm the statement, and you still have a war goin on within you as to whether or not to believe the next words coming through her mouth. Had to deal with one too some years ago, though it was not in marriage. And yes just like you, I had to keep the means of finding out a mystery to her, so she doesn't find out nd block it or cover up. Whatsapp web did the job. How fun to watch a version of lie manufactured on the spot, when you knw the truth alrdy. I was not happy I did this and wish I never had to, but have no regrets doin so. It was a timed bomb of sadness waiting to detonate in the future. I understand you brother. I hope you are able to forgive her and move on. Not forgiving her can draw a lot of set backs for one, and make it impossible or difficult to love again. Not all ladies are like that.

Sure you hit it spot on. Many people enter into wrong marriages because they don't put in God. It is only God that knows the true condition of a person. What his or her future will be like.

But people follow physical appeal which is very fleeting. Also another thing i have come to see is that most times, the things that will make our life better may not be appealing to our senses. It may not really look ideal, but those are the things that will make our life the best.
And that is how many people miss out on happiness in life.

Marriage is like a TV station. You choose a channel that u stay glued to for the rest of your life. You go with all the programmes in it, whether boring or not. Some choose too early and chose a cartoon station, only to realise years later that they have outgrown it and wat sports or news channels.
Identifying some mineral resources required skilled eyes and some spouse in their raw form before being processed, are looking haggard, skinny and unkempt. Some people that are able to see past the present and project into the future tru the help of God, have been able to pursue the right "better half"

Yes I am. and yes she is better off... But I live in South west Nigeria, and I believe if ure truly married and have ever faced any challenge from ur in laws, u will understand me. Dt story I summarised in 3 lines, if I should give u d full gist, it will be up to 500 pages of A4 paper, front and back.

did I mention my inlaws (I mean her father and mother came to beat me one night) just because we were having issues and she called them (we live in d same town). dt day she left home since 9am and came back around to 9 in d night, without telling where she was going to since dt morning. so I told her to go back to where she was coming from.

that was it, d next thing was to called her parents who came to pack her things. her father broke my door with his leg. and started beating me.

it was in my house one day dt her mother told her that she's too dull and dt is why I'm dictating to her. dt if it's her Elder sister (who is also now a single mother) she would have locked d husband, tear her cloth and beat him. since dt day, any little misunderstanding, she will pounce on me, tear my cloth and neat me. I can show u pictures of tore cloths. twice I've been to police station to report her.

madam, I can drop my digits for anyone who cares to listen to d full gist. my story is verifiable. I have loads of evidence to support my claims.

How you go dey old man and woman go dey beat. You no fit paralyze d man?

But doesn't Genesis 2:24 say the couple would become one flesh meaning no other bond was to be stronger, not parents, not kids, not friends?

Is undue influence of the bond not a problem irrespective of whether it comes from the husband's side of the family or the wife's side of the family?

My understanding is "the Scriptures emphasize that, upon marrying, your mate becomes your closest relative. Your husband or wife becomes the first one to love, care for and consult."

Wife's parent are d one controlling her. after several attempts to severe her relationship with them was unsuccessful. divorce was successful. shez back with her parents now, and she's d one doing d cooking and washing for them.

Should the issue by severing the relationship or making the relationship with the husband more important and all other relationships subservient to the marriage relationship?

When the bible speaks of "one flesh" it means intimacy of the highest degree, so when a partner reports his mate to a parent or parents, or allows parents to remote control their union, such a person in effect demonstrates disrespect for God and the marital arrangement

No other relationship is described this way with the words "one flesh"

The other important word in that passage is "leave" a man must leave his parents, their control of him must seize, so he can have the freedom to start an independent family, so if a wife is controlled by her parents, she impedes the man's attempt to set up his very own family. It is thus very wrong for parents to attempt to talk less of succeed at monitoring or directing the affairs in the home of their married offspring

There you have it. People don't factor God in when choosing a life partner, that's why we have so many failed marriages

...and why did those pastors that factored God in when they chose their marriage partners (including those that had visions and those pastors prophesied their life partners) have failed marriages?

Possibly i have a different thought about "physical" and that does not necessarily mean physique or beauty. Physical to me could mean how one relates with other humans, morality, ideology and ideals in life, willingness to sacrifice, humility, flexibility, life future goals and achievement, etc. So its not all spirituality. Many unbelievers as well have "perfect" homes i can assure you.

I'm so glad I walked out of my marriage of three months.

I even thank God when I think about it because God saved me.

The guy had so much skeletons in his cupboard. So diabolic and fetish. Had I known of those skeletons I wouldn't have accepted his proposal.

Say no to long distance relationship. I did it for 4 years only to get married and leave 3 months after.

It works in some cases. I've witnessed a few working well. Sorry that you had to go through all of that.

It is well. I think dropping power tussles, communicating honestly and paying adequate attention to the intended spouse's lifestyle before getting married helps. In fact, if I were the president, I will make a 3 month trial marriage a prerequisite for getting a marriage certificate. May God's peace envelope us all o.
