She needs to move on already!
I'm sure during the said argument, she also said hurtful things to you.
At the end of the day, you were man enough to apologise severally. So, the question now is; does she expect you to beg her for the rest of your life?

If What u said is true, then your wife suppose to forgive u and move on. For those that have not married, marriage is not bed of roses. There is always abusive language but what matters is asking for forgiveness and forgiveness itself. Your wife must forgive u if you ask for forgiveness.
If she continues to like this, she is still immature
for marriage. you have to consult elders

Unmhnmmmmmmmmm....... She won't forget that word till she died. You don't need to beg! It is what you want, it is what you wished for but you got something else, you got her, something worth thanking God for every moment. Step up your love towards her and appreciate her every moment.

Jisos!

So nairalanders/naija guys are serious about ladies in their thirties being evening news! Hian! 31yrs! Lawd! You wouldn't have invited me to you wedding as a guest niyen let alone as the bride grin grin grin grin grin. So the stipuuudity most of these guys portray online follows them offline! Dang.


I'm sorry, you have made your bed... Nothing remains but to lay on it. She won't ever forget your hurtful outburst...hopefully, the rest of the crettins on here would learn a thing or two.

By the way, marriage is a lifetime venture. Somehow, she would pass that wall raising countenance consciously or otherwise to your kids. What a long life of unfamiliar family you're about to have! Good evening.

That was cold blooded bro.. A technical knock out jizzzz!!!..

This kinda situation deserves 'hail Mary'

Bro this is from me to you.. There are people in this world that got acid mouths. Oh!! When they open it a little, it can divide the red sea.. and u are one of them unfortunately

Killing someone does not necessarily mean using gun or knife.. U have destroyed her self confidence man.. Try and keep your tongue in check in future man..

As for the present situation, maybe you have done enough begging and pleading. Time for action.. U have done your courtship and u know what she likes.. start with that.. she might act like she doesn't want it but keep on doing it still..also give her a little time and space to breathe and think ... She will come around.

In my opinion, taking this case to a third party will further humiliate her the more because that person will like to know what you were fighting about and what you said that made her so upset .. and u can't trust the person not to say it to another person... That will give them a weapon on what to hold against her should there be any misunderstanding between herself and whoever it was that you told..

On a lighter note bro I will suggest that you buy chewing stick in future and keep at home.. if she does or says something that upsets U, and u can't leave the house at that point, and u know that if u opened your mouth, it will shut the whole thing down, just pick up one of the chewing stick and start chewing.. That will keep you mouth in check grin

She has forgiven but she has not forgotten hence why she’s still somewhat distance. As a married man you need to understand that women are extremely sensitive. We are like babies, you need to protect us. Wives are constantly seeking their husbands validation and it has nothing to do with immaturity it’s how nature created us. Dealing with this issue will involve patience and consideration. He has caused some serious psychological damage to his wife, as small as it may seem. It will take time to heal. As a man you may not be able to understand this, but as a woman, I really sympathise with his wife.

Nigerian men have got to stop placing so much value on women.
@OP You told your wife the blunt truth.Women are waaay harsher with the truth when they direct it at men.Countless women have told their husbands the exact same thing you told your wife (their husbands not being their first choice) & the men moved on.
Tell your wife if she can't act right & put that poo behind her,then both of you should split cos you can't continue stepping on eggshells in your own house.

If you have begged and begged and she still refuses to let go. Please do yourself a favour by divorcing her so you can marry someone else and live with peace of mind.

Please kindly divorce her. Nonsense.

Exactly what I am thinking. She must have said some really hurtful things for you to remind her of your decisions not to marry her in the first place.

Stop begging her @op. Just give her time but show more than enough care for the sake of the baby.

If you beg her too much , she might still end up using it against you if she is the type that likes to gaslight.

I once told a woman to get anjob and be useful to herself, since time waits for no one. Next thing I got was that I said she is a liability and that was what torn the relationship apart.

But guess what! She still works at the job I eventually got for her and she is making a fantastic living.

My only sin was asking her to be useful to herself and stop wasting away. Fear women!

She is hurt obviously. Those kind of words leave a deep wound that takes time to heal.

Maybe at this point you have to report yourself to someone older that she listens to. Then start doing some little things to get her attention. Buy her gifts, leave love notes where she will see them. Have a cake delivered to her at work, business place(at home if she's a stay at home wife).

Just do things that make her know her importance in your life. You can get ideas from Fire Proof's 40, day challenge. And next time, be careful what you say because words, when spoken, cannot be retrieved.

After we got married, you know newlyweds now, the quarrels about every little thing, it was much then, so this particular incident made me so worked up and angry I made a statement I shouldnt have said, during the heated argument I told her that she was never who I would have married, that she wasn't my specs, she was too old (31 lol) that if someone younger was available I wouldn't blink twice before I'll marry the person, after saying all that, I wasn't sober about it, she held on to that statement, I knew she cried that night, since then we don't talk, play, gist anymore, we became distant, though I apologised the next morning but things isn't just the same anymore, communication isn't there, she only talks to me when she wants to ask or say necessary things, nothing more, though she still cooks, we still have sex, infact every other aspect is fine except for communication, anytime I come back from work and I'm in the sitting room, she doesn't stay there, she either goes to the room or dinning room,

Lots of people feel one kinda way about their spouses though. It is only human nature to think you can get someone better. Some are only smart enough never to voice it out, so they live happily ever after. As OP done talk im own, na God hand them dey. She will forgive, but she won't forget.

I had to create a new account for this

I don't know how to get through to my wife anymore, of which the fault is mine, when we were dating, she showed that she was committed to me and loved me wholeheartedly but I was reluctant to marry her cos she was of age, I wanted someone younger, say under 25, but something important that i have to acquire made me marry all of a sudden and she was the only one available, don't get me wrong, I loved her then, her peaceful and humble soul but for some reason I simply can't understand I felt she wasn't enough, but I was wrong, she was perfect, the best I can ever wish for and more, she is everything,

After we got married, you know newlyweds now, the quarrels about every little thing, it was much then, so this particular incident made me so worked up and angry I made a statement I shouldnt have said, during the heated argument I told her that she was never who I would have married, that she wasn't my specs, she was too old (31 lol) that if someone younger was available I wouldn't blink twice before I'll marry the person, after saying all that, I wasn't sober about it, she held on to that statement, I knew she cried that night, since then we don't talk, play, gist anymore, we became distant, though I apologised the next morning but things isn't just the same anymore, communication isn't there, she only talks to me when she wants to ask or say necessary things, nothing more, though she still cooks, we still have sex, infact every other aspect is fine except for communication, anytime I come back from work and I'm in the sitting room, she doesn't stay there, she either goes to the room or dinning room, I have begged and begged and I don't want to involve third party cos I obviously caused this, when she got pregnant, she didn't tell me till I saw the strip, when I asked why she said she forgot, and we had plans to celebrate when she takes in, I was sad that day, I begged and asked to tell me anything she wants and I'll do it, I'll make it up to her,,she said she wants nothing that she is fine, I love her, she is my baby, we use to be gist buddies, I missed that and I want it back, I don't know what to do anymore, it's my fault I know that and I'm sorry I ever said that cos it hurt her deeply, I told her to tell me more evil things so that we will be even, she said she can't that she loves me, we are drifting apart, I can feel it,

Pls help me folks, I came here becos I want anonymous advise, what else can I do to make the hurt go away?
You are the one who needs to let this go at this point, not her. You have apologized and given her the chance to get anything she wants from you although i think you should not have done that but you were desperate so its fine.

I noticed where you said you both still have sex.if this is the case, then that is your eureka moment right there. We are most vulnerable when we are bum naaked soaking in ecstasy and feeling the moment. It is at this time i would have expected u to look into her eyes and tell her exactly how you feel about her, tell her how much you love her, cry if you have to, shiver if you need to. Let her feel the love more from the temperature and vibrations from your skin on hers than just from the words coming out of your mouth.
You don't have to go out of your way trying to beg..you have done that already, stop pleading, be assertive now.

Please try this and give me feedback, i am touched by this and want to see it resolved.

Op you just told your wife you dont love her that much thats the pain. So she is hurting badly. Apologizing to her is not enough. You have to repent and be born again, when she sees you are closer to God she would turn 360 degrees.
