Op wait!

Wait.

Just wait, okay?

The younger, timid and lowlife women are the ones to beware of.

It pains a man more, even to the marrows and to a man's soul that he brought out a nobody as a wife, brushed her up and made her somebody, then she disrespects him. This case in point as you paint it isnt that too bad.

My thought:
May be the wife at that point was exhausted and, for that reason, requested that the man dish his food by himself.

In family setting, its no big deal for a man to go dish out his food himself, in fact it does not amount to disrespect. I presume that the woman cooked the food. Is it dishing it for his stomach that is a hard labour for a loving husband?

SEE OP, TAKE IT FROM ME AND TELL ANY ONE WHO CARES TO LISTEN:

A MAN SHOULD NOT EXPECT HIS WIFE TO DO ALL MENIAL JOBS AT HOME ALONE. IT SHOULD BE SHARED AND THAT IS WHEN THE COUPLE ARE IN 21ST CENTURY.

TO TRY TO MAKE YOUR WOMAN SUBSERVIENT AND LABOUROUS, MAY BE THE WAY OUR GRAND PARENTS HAD THEIR WIVES DO WILL NOT ENGENDER HEALTHY HOME FOR MODERN FAMILIES.

ADVICE: Let the man not always insist on asserting himself. Let him apply humility, it smoothens love and peace in the home.

If the man had (perhaps foreknowing the way his wife behaves) gone to the kitchen and fetched the food himself without demanding that from the wife, perhaps the woman may have toned this way: "oh Darling, you should have asked me to serve your food na"

In that way, your friend could have saved himself, his wife and their family this whole embarrassment.

The good news is: soon their children will complement the deficiencies of either of them by rendering this kind of services...

I hate men like you more than the devil...all male feminists should be killed and their carcasses fed to dogs. You don't know what the eff you're saying.

It is obvious that our expectations for marriage are very different.

If your "strong thing" has any meaning, please lay it bare.

She picked the man from the gutters and now he has the effrontery to turn her
into a maid.
He should hire a maid if he wants someone to dish his food for him.

Since he is now maid, I wonder why he hasn't look for a young illiterate wife that
will worship him.

Pick him from the gutter
The man is not educated?? He won't eventually get employed He will never be successful without the woman intervention
I think I will have to agree with the op on this. Avoid every woman that think you are less of a man or want to negotiate leadership with you just because she is about to assist your struggling self...

Sometimes, You can't blame culture and religion that promote polygamy . This woman is the only one. Why won't she tun herself to a demi God...

I pity the man tho, she married a woman meant for a temperamental man..

It's only a problem of both inferiority and superiority complex. Nothing is wrong with a woman being well schooled and bouyant than her husband. It doesn't change the standard of the home, except in a case like this, where both parties don't know their roles, and are ego murdered. All a man and a woman has belongs to both parties. Ignorance breeds headache.

I am so tired of niggaz complaining about dating/marrying women who earn more than they do. When they tell you to marry women of your levels, you will not listen. A woman who is a high salary earner is not going to endure your "Headship" B.S. Even the religious ones can only endure for so long. I'm not giving these women any excuses on their behaviour but something's got to give guys.

When you find yourself in that situation, you have to bring something to the table in order to make them appreciate you. It could be your intellect, charisma, bed skills or character. If you really want someone who is going to "submit" to your "headship" then marry a someone you can control. Otherwise, you have to change your attitude and be smart.

You cannot be whining about poor girls bringing nothing to a relationship but sex and then when you find someone who brings more than that, you nag that she's not respectful enough. The reality on ground is that most Nigerian women regardless of class are very materialistic. Choose your poison.

So he can't go and dish out food?
I have never dished out food for my husband and he is not a small or hungry man. As a matter of fact even when I stopped working for sometime unless when we are eating together.
Once he finish eating, from the day one of our relationship, he will take his plate and wash, with every other thing he sees on the sink.
It has not reduced him from being a man and the man in the house that has my respect always.

Enough of all these gender rules. It has destroyed more than it builds.

Simple things like that are what endears your spouse to you but it seems like your friend is always trying to bring "I'm the man card" in his union like most of our men do.
The woman refused to dish out food, and she was forcing her?
If she usually dish out food, what made her not to do it at that time. Was she too tired or very angry over something?
Did he try to know what was her annoyance, rather he want to exert his right as the head by ordering her to do that. Somebody that houses and feed you?
Common, u guys are really very dumb sometimes. It takes so little to make women lay down everything they have for guys especially working ladies but pride will never allow you guys to see whats before u.
Everyone can't be a pvssy like your husband .

You are a typical timid man that is incapable of understanding that cerebral power is the divine order. I am a man, a real man and not a snow flake. I am such man that is not afraid of the devil and not even the Gods. But even as tough as I am, if I ever get challenged intellectually by a woman, I am humble enough to admit to learn from that woman. If she is more wealthy, then there is something she knows more about money that the man does not know, so what makes the man superior to the woman? His dick? His name? or his ego?

I am of the opinion that Gender is a farce, and brain power is ultimate. Success leaves clues and if the woman makes more money, she is more experienced in conversion of intellectual and intuitive functionalities to material gains.

So, the woman is absolute head of that home and the man should wash the fuccking plates or go out there a be a man and bring money and respect to the home and himself.

Full stop to foolishness of snowflakes and weak men who think they deserve Glory because they were birth with a phallus.

Respect is Earned and Money is Key to any earnings.

God will bless you. My wife a graduate for UI with Master degree from lasu marries me. I only have OND.

Her parent were finally buoyant than mine because the dad was an ex staff of chevron.

5 years ago when we wanted to marry, the daddy collected only 60 naira as dowry. They are not Hungary at all. From jss 1 to ss3 she use to board planes to and fro - FEGOCAL TO LAGOS. Meanwhile me I did not even know how to enter airport sef until we marry and she booked a flight for us.

Apart from the normal quarrel, she had respected me all the time and never say any stupid things to me. She corrects my English at times but with love. She still cook my food with will even me use to complain sometimes to rest. She is gainfully employed and holding a managerial post at a company.


People just assume anything.

I have said it repeatedly, MARRY A GOOD GIRL. A good girl remains a good girl. A bad girl will only appear like a good girl if there are other things to benefit from you.



HOLD THAT WOMAN WELL OOO!!!!

When we played , millions of girls were at beck and call.

It was when we decide to marry, that you you will realize that women are very, very, very, very , very, very,very, very...











Scarce.


To the OP i will only say this:

RESPECT IS EARNED. NOT BOUGHT. NOT DEMANDED FOR.

Dated a woman who was earning 5 times what I earned.

She was the kindest, smartest person I know.

Though her sanguine nature sometimes got on my nerves-- as she 'talks a lot,' she has the kindest heart!

Only girl I know who washed my underpants... Wakes me up with food, and constantly sends food to me at work ( even when outside the country).

We were not on the same level, at all, she was smarter than me and way more charismatic!

How did we gel?
I allowed her be herself, I was not intimidated about her successes, and constantly asked her to improve herself.
She had never done well with controlling people as she has an adventurous spirit, so I never sought to do so.

Every sane human being despises control, but wants to be lead. Our cultural evils have a lot centred on control-- Parent, Husband, Pastor, Boss, Politician... All thinking they are the all-in-all.

I say to such people, ' calm the Bleep down!, You are just a human being'

I however don't support abuse and arrogance from a woman and vice versa, if my wife changes to something else, I will leave her, no time for rubbish.

My father controlled my mum and she never realised her true potential-- her charisma, charm and talents all died because my dad was afraid.

I was trained to wash dishes, do house chores and I do so till date.

My woman won't end up looking like a hag due to overwork.

This is not me defending feminism though, a man is the head, he leads but doesn't rule!

Even if she is not sick but tired. Helping out is not a problem.

But to say that "I have never dished out food for my husband since we married. After he finish eating his food he will wash his plate any dish he met on the basin..." Ha ha. You guys should stop emasculating men especially those that are gentle..

Action and reactions are always equal and opposite.
