I will advice you don't involve an external person since is all your fault. Just keep calm and do your thing just as normal, she will definitely calm down soon. But never try such to a lady that truly loves you. One love

This is deep bro, i will still advice that you involve someone she so much respect in helping you apologizing to her, that will show her that you are serious.
You have a rear gem, pls don't lose her to your insensitivity. God bless your home!

I concur to every bit of this advice.

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?
See I'm a man and no sentiment attach but the truth is... Sorry, I wanted to say you are a fool but I just realize that we are all human with mistakes. Quote me if I'm wrong, you make caricature of people, you derive pleasure in teasing people, you make mockery of people, unorder for you to win cases, you go extra miles to talk about irrelevant things that are not in line with the immediate or cause of dispute at hand. All these characters you have used against your family n friends, have been drafted toward your wife . you may deny it because you may think they are all joke n fun but you don't know how hurt it feels to those people at the receiving end. Now, hear the truth, your wife is seriously depress and may take along time heal her because the seed you planted has already germinated and grown big but not yet producing seed. If you allow it to produce seed and get ripened then its over. Now, do these, don't apologize for a certain period. Within this period be yourself, behave as nothing happened before, and take her out on a regular basis on chopping, merry, visit of friends n family members, take her out on any good type of outing, in all these these outings, show her love like there is no tomorrow, the kind of love she had never received from you or anybody, don't be stingy with it, this love should shown both in public and in private but never, I mean never in your house. Any time you go home within this period, be yourself n don't pretend, don't show her love unless your body or atmosphere move you to do so. Don't force love in the house within this period. I would have ask you to pretend not to show love at all in the house but you might over do it, so in the house take things the way you see but outside house show her love extravagantly until she start reciprocating same love to you at home not out side home, then seize this opportunity to apologize to her and everything will fine. Please I stressed what you should do in the house n what you should do outside the house, do not mix them. Thank you, problems solved.

I understand how you feel but you went too far with those words but did has be done. my own husband hurt me also with his words and action so I stopped talking to him,mind my business,speak to him when necessary,which I promised myself that he won't see anything good from me ever again. one day I went to work,I brought cloths I will wash once I come back from work,both my own undies,when I came back with our child to do my normal bathing and washing of the cloths uhmmm my hubby has done everything,God I was so happy,marveled and I blessed her and those my pains,anger left immediately because of this single act and other once he does now.why don't you they helping her out in doing some of the home chorus,why don't you wash her cloths,her undies,clean her shoes,bring her back because there is nothing like peace in your home. and pray to God to touch her for you is well nobody is perfect.

He's accepted his fault and apologized many times according to him.

Stop begging. Change tactics. Just tell her everyday that you love her and she means a lot to you.. Say it every single day, no matter what happens.
If she remains that way till the year ends, just know you married a very vindictive person you should actually be wary of.
If you can't forgive a person or look past their flaws, then you don't love them

I'll suggest that you don't keep apologizing to her because you'll keep refreshing in her mind the hurtful words you said to her. Let your words and actions show her that you love her. And, don't profess love to her or act lovingly toward her because you want her to forgive you. You'll make her think that you don't mean it; that you're only acting that way because you want to clear your guilty conscience by getting her forgiveness. Love her because she's your wife and you truly do love her.

Let me add this last thing, if both of you are Christians, try to pray together by holding hands and sometimes both of you can read a portion of the bible and discuss your various understanding of the passage you read. It'll create communication and build a stronger bond between you two. Also try as much as possible to always eat together whenever you're around. It's gonna help you both a lot.
May God heal and restore your union.
Re: My Wife Is Slowly Distancing Herself From Me..... by Fantazy(m): 1:23pm On Sep 15, 2019
It's good u re honest here.
U have begged her severally, fine

Now try this:

Tell her u love her every morning before u go out.

Pretend as if u re getting fed up as per her inability to forgive u

Try to distant urself a bit also from her (Not too close to her again as before)

Whenever she decides to stay alone don't rush to her and beg. Be on ur own also at least for that moment.

In a maximum of 3 months if she still continue that way, my brother she is not the woman u re suppose to marry.

My brother things are not like that. Those ladies you see love unconditionally but when you kill them you have to be patient with them and persevere in bringing them back alive again.

That statement he made killed the first woman he married and is only living with a stranger in the Shell of the previous wife, he needs to do everything to bring her back.

I think that incident needed to happen for the scale in your eyes to fall off in other for you to know how good your woman is. Act more than your words. Spoil her with fun. Its now your turn to love. I hope she ignites back the same love she once had for you. All the best and happy married life.

If my husband said that to me, honestly it would break me. Age is so sensitive to women, you don’t know the pressure and scrutiny women face for marrying late. She found ‘love’ and now you use her age against her? The only human being that she thought was non-judgmental and she could find solace in? Her age, Something she can’t control? Even if it takes 5 years to forgive you fully, you must be patient with her. Words hurt deeper and mind you shes such a good woman because she still cooks, has sex and every other thing. Most women will show you pepper. Her body is there but her heart and soul has disappeared from the marriage.

It is well jare.


You said it all. The woman loves her with all she got but the F*ck boy in him decided to ruin his family.

He found a diamond but He's busy looking for bronze. This man deserve nationwide beating grin.


He should show her so much love by his deeds, only his deeds can bring her back.

Take madam on one week vacation, show her love and she will be back.

Women say similar thing to men everyday and we get over it. A woman will insult you today, tell you hurtful things but after a while, you get a yes. Some even go to the extreme by giving you a thousand reasons they won't date you. We have seen women who told us they can never date us in this life but turned out as wives (some as one night stand).

Some women never thought they could date a short man but las las, they married short men. Your wife needs to come out of that euphoria and embrace the hard reality


Why did u stroke the bolded post made by Acidosis?
Everything stated there is nothing but the truth, unless u are just being delusional

Even your own parents or siblings will say more hurtful things to u, than what op said to his wife. The wife is just emotional, reason she is taking it to far.

Do u know what unemployed graduates are going through in the hands of their parents? Do u know the hurtful things being said to them? You think if they land a big job tomorrow they will forget their parents?

Women have said worse things to men, especially the excerpt bolded part from Acidosis post "A woman will insult you today, tell you hurtful things but after a while, you get a yes."

Just recently approaching women is becoming simple, couple of years back, a woman will insult the hell out of a man and make mockery of him before saying yes. Women are just too emotional, reason for all these.



I would have loved to reply you, but then you concluded that I must be delusional for cancelling it

So let's leave it at that, sire grin

@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.
Simple stuff cool

You never said it any better!

The poster is a "sissy" who does not want to man up! His wife has seen that he has placed her on a pedestal and is using it to her advantage!

If I were him, I'd simply ignore her and act like she does not exist and she will be the one to start bringing up convos which I will still act indifferent to until she ends up begging me for attention! The worst you can do to a woman living under the same roof with you is not to hit her or even deny her sex or not eat what she has cooked...it is NOT GIVING HER ATTENTION!

The poster should stop acting like his world revolves round her since she is not willing to forgive and let's see who flinches first.

Nonsense and ingredients!!

You should be empathetic to her b/c the things he said were too much /incredibly hurtful, and shows he doesn't love her that much.
These are not just bad things but things you don't say to someone you love, that is, if you truly love them!

How would you feel if your own so-called spouse tells you

1. You were never who they wanted to marry
2. You weren't their specs
3. You were/are too old for them
4. If someone younger was available you wouldn't have blinked twice before marrying them

She is never going to forget these words and it's going to affect their marriage henceforth. He shouldn't have married her if these were his feelings going into the marriage. Anger typically exposes hidden feelings / things you've been bottling up, so I do believe he meant them.

I've heard my very own sisters said something exactly like that to their husbands, women say these things to men almost all the time the guy is making the whole thing worse by continuing to beg. If my girlfriend offends me really bad and continue begging and feeling desperate for me to calm down, I become more angry. Once that man starts ignoring her and keeping late nights all the previous begging will instantly enter her head and she will start trying to save her marriage and everything will be fine

If she's a virgin she's too stiff
If she's not a virgin she's too loose
If she knows how to cook,she doesn't know anything except food
If she doesn't know how to cook she's too lazy
If she has too many kids her body is like a pig
If she doesn't have kids she has been promiscuous during her younger days
If she's a chatty person she talks too much
If she doesn't talk she's too quiet
