he is also a nairalander ,if only he can see this post and tell me my offence , im not saying I'm a perfect being but I know for sure that I have not offended him in any ways, as a matter of fact he was the one that had offended , for three years I was in Nigeria ,hubby was cohabiting with another woman untill he they had issues and he beat her up, she lost two tooth and got into a problem.with UAE police , the ugly lady contacted me and she seems to know so much about me , things I shared with my hubby she is aware of everything in my home ,this was part of the reason why we had some crisis in June and also part where I got a job in abj added to it ..I forgave him and moved on .
I couldn't ve seized his passport,he told me he was making plans for us to go on a short vacation to UK to make it up to me for the pain he caused me , when the visa came out he said he needed to return to UAe to finish up so business so he can be free to travel and then boom., he went to UK just like that and right now he isnt communicating wit his family ..
ok let's assume I did something wrong , what about his children , didnt he consider them at all, what offence did the committed against him for him to turn his back on them like this
Clearly a violent one. Too many stories about him always not being where he said he is. After, he apologizes. The next time, he does the same thing. You make up. You're back to hearing new lies. You make up again. You seem to enjoy it.

I have only question for you: why have you stayed in the marriage? And don't give the excuse of children or his money. Why have you been with a violent, cheating liar all this while? Who brainwashed you into thinking it will get better? The person who told you to stay in the marriage is a wicked person with no life experience.

Madam, you're not doing yourself any favors and your children may grow up to resent you for your choices.

I will advise that you continue with the express entry as a principal applicant or the student route if you have the means. You must stand up for your kids because that man doesn’t seem ready to be with you guys.

I really feel your pain. As u narrate, your husband said that what he is doing is for the family future. He maybe right. It like your husband understand how the system work in UK. U have three children for him,do you think he will leaves his children. They are his future. I don't think he has a bad intention. He just wanted to settle down and then take care of others. To get a permanent residence,depends on how you package yourself. It depends on your program. Pls you should bear with him for now. Understand the message he trying to communicate. He will surely come back for you and his children. Try get in touch as you will,so as not to leave any gap in your communication. Pls and pls do not fight or abuse him. U know woman now,when u are fed up u say a lot of wrong things. Don't fight shadow. Just be optimistic. Shalom

Hmmmmm.
I will advice you not to run into fast conclusion yet.i will I am on the road now.
I will digest your reply and we see the way forward.
Quick questions.
1. After the introduction, was any formal wedding conducted.be it traditional or church wedding.

2.you mean his people came for the introduction in his absence and younand your people accepted.

Honestly,I can see the hand writing on the wall, like I said ,once am free ,we will address it and know the way forward.

What does the type of marriage have to do with anything? You people can invent reasons for deadbeat behaviors in men.

Some people aren't even married, just living together, and they do not do what this man has done. Just admit that the man has issues. He lies, beats her, cheats on her, abandons the children; and all you can come up with is if she was married in a church or not?

I don’t know even if the right word is “scamming” but definitely your husband is up to something and from your story, it’s a negative move.. this seems like “mr and mrs smith”.. try to talk to him and let him know you are not a fool and he should come out clean..it’s really kind of hard to advise since he is there and you are here but have that heart to heart talk!!!!

Please I seek advice from experts here as I'm lost and devastated over this issue, please bear with me as my story is a little bit long.

This is the 7th year of my marriage and the union is blessed with three kids, hubby and I stayed in UAE, but whenever I'm pregnant I come down to have my kids due to cost and also I ll be needing helping hands after delivery, it happened that when I came down to have my last child 3years ago as usual, I was preparing to return to UAE , I discovered that my Husband had canceled the resident visa for myself and our two kids, when I confronted him he said he is making plans to leave UAE and there was no point for us coming back and also business isn't moving as usual so taking care of us will cause a strain on his finances. At first I felt bad and cried about it but later I accepted my fate and moved on.

First plan was for me to apply for Canada study visa, the plan was to go with my last child and after sometimes hubby and my other kids can join me later, I got admitted into a Canadian college but when the time for visa processing hubby pulled out that we should go the express entry way, I accepted and started with registering for ielts tutorials which I did for 5 weeks, and to God b the glory I aced my exam. It was left for him to write his as he ll be standing as the primary applicant since he has lots of job experience but along the line he pulled out again and said everyone is going to Canada and he ll work out something different.

Last year he applied for US visa he was denied, he applied for Germany too, still denied. While he was doing all this I was alone in Nigeria with the kids while he stays in UAE but visits every 5 months. This year June, we had some issues that would ve resulted to divorce but we settled it with the help of some elders so he said he was going to make up for his mistake by applying for UK for both of us so we can just take a vacation to London, of course I was excited and looking up for the trip.

He applied for UK visa for both of us and lucky they granted us 6 months, I was already getting set and looking forward to the trip when he said he needed to rush down to UAE as he has some unfinished business, two days after he left I saw him updated his fb and the location was showing UK, he left without me and he didn't even inform me that he ll b going until he got there. When I confronted him he came up with the excuse that he needed to meet with some companies over investment so that way he can process resident permits for everyone at home so we all come over there at once, two days later he told me he got a job.

it's been 2 months over there already, we filed our stay for 10 days when applying for the visa and I know what he has done is messing his future chances up, now he doesn't do video call, won't pick my calls when I call at my own time, from 7pm he isn't active as no way I can reach him, before now the only time he put a call across is when he is in a bus .. I confronted him over all this and guess what,he has stopped talking to me, Wont reply my chats or even talk to me yet he reads them, our sons bday was 4 days ago and he couldn't even call to speak with him or wish him happy birthday.

I'm so confused, this is the man that I have lost lot of jobs opportunity for simply because he doesnt want me to work, I learnt fashion designing so it won't be like I'm staying at home doing nothing, I run a fashion store but trust me I'm not feeling it because its not what I'm meant to do ..

In two months time I will b 30 and you know how Nigerian systems works, the older you get, the lesser chances of getting a job I dont even know what to do with myself, please advise me what to do?

I'd also like those who ve an idea of how the system in UK works to tell me how long it takes for one to b granted residential permits in the UK so I ll know when all this will end or if it ll ever end so I can make my next move
also how possible it is for one to land UK and in two days he is already working .

I feel used, I feel like hubby used me to secure a visa and I was never in his plans..I reported the issues to our family already and he Told them all he did was for the future of myself and the kids and I shld endure but I do not know for how long..,I'm tired of this distsnce marriage ,its been 3years in distance marriage and its been hell for me.

MOD please help me post this


Don't go to the, What are you looking for again?

Must you build your life around this useless man who obviously doesn't want you to do good or move forward in life?

If your ielts is still valid, sharply go and apply for that Canadian visa. Sort your life first na

For you to ace your ielts and get admission to that Canadian college is evidence that you aren't a dull slay queen

Leave that man and take care of your kids

Stop being stvpid. You are just gloating over the woman's problem. That's evil. There is no scam in what the man did. He simply wants to go and hustle alone. A wife and 3 kids might hold him back. By the time he drops a Mercedes Benz 2017 model for the wife, all will be forgotten.

As long as he pays your house rent in Nigeria and gives you money to feed, leave the man alone. He simply wants to hustle for you all without hinderance.

In conclusion....

OP if you believe ANY OTHER THING except what’s in this post I just quoted, then I’d say it’s clear why he’s able to get away with continuously mistreating and deceiving you.

Wake up and get wise for yourself and your children

He has another family somewhere else. It’s time for you to move on. And fast too.

You think it's that easy with three kids?

I have a big cousin who is a victim of this...so I know it's not easy. Tho she has moved on...so I think, but dear, she went thru hell. Three kids too.

I pray you guys don't experience such... So you know how easy to move on.

@op I'll advice you just concentrate on your fashion designing big time, learn more and make it big. Forget about looking for 8-5 job and if you know you can combine the two which I doubt go ahead.

Don't turn the heart of the kids against their father. I don't know the relationship between you and his parents. That's why we keep saying try to maintain a good relationship with your in-laws, it's very important no matter how tough they are just use wisdom with them because of cases like this when their son bleeps up.

Then lastly, please pray, pray and pray. Prayers give you his remote control. You control his life with your prayers.

I remember my big cuz told me she prayed her husband must not have any another kids aside the ones she bore him. Last time I checked, the guys now calls, speaks with his kids and she herself.

May God be with you ma.

Do you have any money saved.with 100k,you can afford a sewing machine,some materials.Sew and advertise on nl,instagram,fb.from your parents home.

You got carried away with life and forgot that ur parents sent you to school to better your life and family.

If he was dead you wont wait for him to come and stand up to his responsibilities.So assume,he is out of the pic.

Other women hate to think along this line, that a fellow woman could have done something that the husband couldn't handle and he freaked out and ran.
He may have discovered that madam's attitude overtime is a threat if and when they get to Canada or Europe.
I'm not in any on his side but there's more to this story and we may never know.
even if the wife has a bad attitude,is that an awesome excuse to dump the three kids at home

my sister, most of us women see this marriage thing as the Alpha, Omega, Ultimate, be all and end all of life. The moment they marry, it's as if they start living for their husbands without having personal goals and ambition.Whatever the Husband says is final even when it pertains to an opportunity that will improve his wife's life. Tomorrow, the man walks away and she is left to start her life from scratch.
.

Well said . At these juncture , some women always cry out that love is wicked .Little sense will never betray . In as much as the OP is hardworking she can easily try to pick some pieces and be strong . She needs wisdom ,good emotional intelligence , patience and most importantly God for her to wade through her trials

Life is a battle . she has a choice to conquer it .

.
As a divorce attorney, I see too many women who lived their lives for men who are now so happy to move on from them. Love is very sweet, but women should try to remove small sense and keep somewhere to remind them that "Anything can happen". Have a plan and something going for you in life asides being "Mrs somebody" or "Mama somebody".

At first I felt bad and cried about it but later I accepted my fate and moved on.

First plan was for me to apply for Canada study visa, the plan was to go with my last child and after sometimes hubby and my other kids can join me later, I got admitted into a Canadian college but when the time for visa processing hubby pulled out that we should go the express entry way, I accepted and started with registering for ielts tutorials which I did for 5 weeks, and to God b the glory I aced my exam. It was left for him to write his as he ll be standing as the primary applicant since he has lots of job experience but along the line he pulled out again and said everyone is going to Canada and he ll work out something different.

Last year he applied for US visa he was denied, he applied for Germany too, still denied. While he was doing all this I was alone in Nigeria with the kids while he stays in UAE but visits every 5 months. This year June, we had some issues that would ve resulted to divorce but we settled it with the help of some elders so he said he was going to make up for his mistake by applying for UK for both of us so we can just take a vacation to London, of course I was excited and looking up for the trip.

He applied for UK visa for both of us and lucky they granted us 6 months, I was already getting set and looking forward to the trip when he said he needed to rush down to UAE as he has some unfinished business, two days after he left I saw him updated his fb and the location was showing UK, he left without me and he didn't even inform me that he ll b going until he got there. When I confronted him he came up with the excuse that he needed to meet with some companies over investment so that way he can process resident permits for everyone at home so we all come over there at once, two days later he told me he got a job.

it's been 2 months over there already, we filed our stay for 10 days when applying for the visa and I know what he has done is messing his future chances up, now he doesn't do video call, won't pick my calls when I call at my own time, from 7pm he isn't active as no way I can reach him, before now the only time he put a call across is when he is in a bus .. I confronted him over all this and guess what,he has stopped talking to me, Wont reply my chats or even talk to me yet he reads them, our sons bday was 4 days ago and he couldn't even call to speak with him or wish him happy birthday.

I'm so confused, this is the man that I have lost lot of jobs opportunity for simply because he doesnt want me to work, I learnt fashion designing so it won't be like I'm staying at home doing nothing, I run a fashion store but trust me I'm not feeling it because its not what I'm meant to do ..

In two months time I will b 30 and you know how Nigerian systems works, the older you get, the lesser chances of getting a job I dont even know what to do with myself, please advise me what to do?

I'd also like those who ve an idea of how the system in UK works to tell me how long it takes for one to b granted residential permits in the UK so I ll know when all this will end or if it ll ever end so I can make my next move
also how possible it is for one to land UK and in two days he is already working .

I feel used, I feel like hubby used me to secure a visa and I was never in his plans..I reported the issues to our family already and he Told them all he did was for the future of myself and the kids and I shld endure but I do not know for how long..,I'm tired of this distsnce marriage ,its been 3years in distance marriage and its been hell for me.

MOD please help me post this

Madam, if this isn't a fiction, then, I must say you're in for a long thing.

Number One. You're numb spiritually. How could your better half have successfully schemed you out of his life, and you're still there thinking he would come back?

Number Two. Your agility to discern is zero. This man must have been scheming you from the beginning of your marriage, & you possibly have believed he would change one day. Do leopards change the colour of their skin?

Number Three. Your will-power is subliminal. You, possibly , are afraid you would not be able to survive without him, and hence you have decided to accept any shit he feeds you with.

Number Four. You don't wanna face the reality. Are u waiting for us to tell you that your dear husband is living with another woman? Keep waiting!

Number Five. You need to accept your fate, pick up the pieces of your life; & begin all over again. It's not too late.
Whatever that means to you, do it.
A word is enough for the wise.

Hmmm. Please try the Canadian stuff again, for you and the children. When he hears you have immigrated, he'll try to contact you.
who will foot the bill?

I really feel your pain. As u narrate, your husband said that what he is doing is for the family future. He maybe right. It like your husband understand how the system work in UK. U have three children for him,do you think he will leaves his children. They are his future. I don't think he has a bad intention. He just wanted to settle down and then take care of others. To get a permanent residence,depends on how you package yourself. It depends on your program. Pls you should bear with him for now. Understand the message he trying to communicate. He will surely come back for you and his children. Try get in touch as you will,so as not to leave any gap in your communication. Pls and pls do not fight or abuse him. U know woman now,when u are fed up u say a lot of wrong things. Don't fight shadow. Just be optimistic. Shalom

UK is now hard without a resident permit or student visa

i see him struggling to find the job he hoped for, he will be many of those illegal immigrants that would be using someone's papers to work and wont be able to fly out f UK and come back

And finally he wont be able to take his family to live with him. Remember she said the UK visa was default six months but their intention was a 10 days holiday. so basically he has no biometric card/ resident permit be it a student/working visa or permanent resident
