Wait. You are still single and you are angry at your friend's wife?
I won't be surprised if you are the one poisoning his minds against his wife.
Married people should be selective of the friends they keep.

So women are liking you post and replies and you think you're making a point abi...?? I pity you


Women think they run the world especially now feminism sh*t is rampant thanks to a wasted Sperm like Chimamanda Adichie

If you show a woman any slightest of weakness , your story will future on instablog naija..

Be wise and I'm not saying you should maltreat any woman ooo but don't give a chance

African man lol...

Calling him by his name is not disrespectful depending on their level of friendship or intimacy.

Two, everyone gets tired at some point when you're putting effort to helping someone and it seems they're unmotivated or unchanging, it's draining and frustrating.

Three, again if they were intimate I don't see what's really wrong with helping yourself fix a plate, like na you dey hungry oh not the woman, so if she traveled for a month you'll wait for her to come before you dish your meal? Her tone may have been wrong maybe , but it's not as baaad as deemed.

I'm my relationships I do most of the cooking because I'm a better cook or I love cooking. My gf is a foreign trained medical doctor I'm an IT and business development consultant. I mostly work from home, I make sure food is ready before she comes home, I bought the house we live in, she drives the only car I have.

We have our names saved as our names, we call each other sweet names but also call each other by our real names. She cooks when she's free or feels to, we have a cleaner that cleans the house twice weekly and the compound.

When I'm hungry I go and fix my plate, if she feels we eat together.

African men just want unnecessary oppression, domination and control. He should be happy he has a woman that's making effort to improve his broke timid ass.

Who cares about likes?

When you search Google, what type of men complains?
It is your type who wants slaves as wives and when she aims for freedom, they
either resort to violence, start attacking women on the net or cry out that their
wife lacks respect.

I have never seen an enlightened man complain about their wives.

I already provided a solution for your type.

Go to the village and buy an illiterate girl for marriage, she will obey all your orders.

But if you refused, you are the one who will come here to cry.

I agree that a man should not marry up . . . women can marry up, but not men.

How will a woman respect a man who doesn't show intelligence and direction, and expect him to lead the family; when he has not finished leading himself into riches.

Water seeks it's own level.

Even if a woman will marry a man who is not as wealthy as she is at that point, she should show prospects of being better in the future.

As for your friend, he is a big mumu. So he want to order a woman around like a slave when he could not even make it in life without her? Give honor to whom honor is due. If she didn't marry him he would have still been struggling and feeding from hand to mouth. He should worship her all the days of his life, and never ever take the things she did for him for granted!

In Yoruba culture, you can't even call ur husband's siblings by name. You have to add a prefix. So calling your husband by name among yorubas is a no no. Though I guess the whole thing is wearing off steadily sha.

From your post, you think single people have no business being friends with married people. You need to realise that the married ones have the responsibility to be positive models to the single ones. If the wife is rejecting her husband's request based on mood, what makes her behaviour different from that of a gf?

From the bold, it is obvious you are nor married.
Everybody, married or single rejects their partners request based on mood.
Perhaps, you have convinced yourself that wives are to obey your commands but
reality is different.
Even rich men with many wives will tell you the same thing that married life is not black and wife.

I'm not married. That's not a problem. Or is it?
I've been to many marriages and the advice usually given to couple is to treat each other with respect and do ur duties to the spouse regardless of how you're feeling. Nobody gives a relationship that kind of advice. So there's expected to be a difference between marriage and relationship.

This is why I always tell women to stop staying weekends and countless of days in their boyfriends house, because unconsciously they’ll start expecting you to do things like this. Respect yourself, go to visit your boyfriend for a few hours during daylight hours and go back to your house. This one wants to turn common gf into housemaid and that’s because his gf never respected herself. When you carry yourself in a certain way, you will see how certain niggaz will act towards you.

See the reason why the western world have destroyed our culture... When you guys were dating don't you call each other pet names?

In our African culture we have romantic names we call our husbands like okoomi in Yoruba, obim in igbo etc..

Jeeeez must you call a man by his name

Everything about Western culture have negatively affected us in Africa... Men live longer in the olden days even marrying many wives.

Now these days women claim equality with men all in the name of stupid love and feminism

So many divorced and unhappy marriages full of deceit , hypocrisy and pretence ..

I suspect you're remotely overwhelmed by what you perceive as men's expectation from marriage. I'm sure you're single and you're afraid of the prospect of being put in a box of appropriate behaviour when married.

Respect has only one meaning. Outside it we have pride, arrogance, vanity, ego, laissez faire etc

The subject of this discourse to my thinking is dat of a wife assuming the role of a gf. A woman is presumed to be the owner of the house and is expected to be a good host to her husband's guests even if she does not like them. It's ethical behaviour not necessarily servitude. She can clear up any issues she has with them when she's alone with her husband. The moment a wife refuses to be a good host even to the guest's face, she's opening up her marriage for ridicule.

As for sharing house chores, there's nothing wrong with that inherently since women are also expected to contribute financially nowadays. But I've been reading a lot of my husband does the cooking and the washing in this thread esp from sassysure and you seem to think having defined role is servitude.

Most of you have a problem if you're asked to submit to your husband but have no issues with being overburdened by your boss at work, forgetting he is actually someone else's husband as well. In normal relationship respect is earned not given, in marriage I suspect respect should be given. It behoves on the receiver not to fritter it away.

Who is the person complaining now? The man or the woman?

The woman is living her life and enjoying the benefits of her economic independence.

The man on the other hand is filled with resentment because he is not getting the reverence he craves for as a man.

But he married someone better than him, when he could have married someone lower who would worship the ground he works on. Now that the woman married him even though she is richer, why won't he worship her? Why does he expect to still be treated like a king when she is the 'king' of the home?

It is only an extremely petty, small minded, low self-esteemed man that will have issues with being called by his name. It's no big deal especially if the couple were friends before marriage. You African men have nothing going on upstairs except how to dominate a woman and how she should massage your silly egos. Your foreign counterparts are busy making ground-breaking inventions and research, you're busy looking for who to serve you food and call you sir. Don't you people irritate yourselves sometimes?
