Don't go far. All sisters are working own their businesses. Their husband's even brag where we keep them is where we find them.


Go and develop psychologically. If a man can't marry a woman without wondering what's happening to her pussy anytime she's away, he's unfit for marriage. My inner fortitude isn't dependent on having my wife glued to me to be assured of her loyalty. It's my inner person development.

SBL28:


Shut up there, chairwoman of the suffering and smiling club. The same Bible asked men to love their wives like Christ loved the church. What the OP's husband is doing to her, is that an embodiment of love. Or the poster told you she has not discussed it with him calmly? Why should a man even want to control his wife. Is that what the Bible preaches
So being submissive is letting a man ruin your life and then you wake up at 50, children have left the house and you have absolutely nothing to show Radarada.

Hizzy:

In my place we don't offer our wife like cola nut to visitors

imam07:
so u totally believed all wht d OP posted here. Kai. U never know women. Heat d man side of d story b4 writing this. I know if u understand women. OBINRIN. U wld nit have said this. Women will never say they are at fault in anything. Nah u d husband needs wisdom or else u go die. The woman's parents too understand their daughter than d husband. That's is d reason they gave that decision. A very rude girl will learn her lesson in her husband house.

after reading the first two pages I had given up on nlders till I came across your comments and it renewed my hopes that Alas, not everyone here is myopic and stupid. thanks a lot. O.p pls follow his advice

Dude most of you are backward and acheic simple. How can you tell your wife not to work. Its barbaric simple.
I am a very exposed traditional African man but telling your wife not to work is evil.

And like I said, men with this kind of thinking are those that lived loose life as singles, they think every woman is loose.

I have married sisters, beautiful, smart, intelligent, classy. My parents brought them up in traditional African way, they run homes perfectly But all there husbands allow them to work.

I am from Anambra State that has produced pace setting women, married and still submissive to there husbands; late Dora Akunyili, Oby Ezekwwsili, Chimanda Adichie etc

Do you know Dora all the time she was in NAFDAC/ Minister, she cooks the food her husband eats. Nobody does it for her.

See we raise our daughters be submissive, but don't give up on your dreams. And when the men comes to marry our daughters we tell them, that you can't stop there careers.

That's what my Dad told all the men that came to marry his daughters; they have been raised perfectly for you, marry them well, and the girls don't disappoint.

See there are quality women of sound stock out there. But not every man deserve them. They are meant for men who know value, not backward and acheic kind of men

Hizzy:

Once she attain the age of doing business without being deceived her husband will give her go ahead

My sister's husband is the HEAD of his home, not me. My own is that he takes care of her and treats her well. If my sister want to work she can focus on her craft or business but not in a corporate setting as long as her husband kicks against going corporate.

Life is that simple! The most important is having a HAPPY HOME[/s]

Damilolacoker:
Hello everyone I'm 24 years old and I have been married for three years. last year we had our first baby . Prior to our wedding, I and my husband decided I'll be allowed to work once our baby is old enough to attend day Care. Now our daughter is almost 2 years and he has refused to let me work. We've had countless arguments about this and it always ends with him saying women who work are not always submissive. I cannot be a full house wife , I am educated and cannot sit at home all say.

He recently told my parents I was being rude to him and they're all saying I should do whatever my husband wants. I love him but on this issue, I refuse to agree with him.

The other part here is he doesn't like me correcting our daughter. She's almost 2 and it irritates him whenever I try to potty train her or scold her. He insists I go to check up on Her at school during break hours. I understand that she's quite young but as her mother, I want the best for her.

Now he's changed towards me, he doesn't care or pamper me like he used to , sometimes he refuses to eat at home and when I try to speak with him, he's always very cold. Please help me, I don't know what to do anymore.

Your position is the one that was nowhere; you tried to compare the generation of yesteryear with that of now in order to justify your stance, when the two time periods are totally incompatible.

An 18 year old getting married in todays society is absolutely preposterous, full stop.

Like I said, 22 years is on the early side but still redeemable if the person is ready to juggle several balls at once. But still quite unnecessary.

I said that the type of personal development that OP is looking for would be better attained before marriage. I didnt say that personal development stops when one gets married so you dont have any point.

Chi59:

[s]Oh I'm a feminist because I denounced your blind beliefs?
You tell me, so you think you're a big baby, possessive and throwing tantrums at your age. I'm sure you have white hairs on your balls, yet you think you're a baby.
Come lemme breastfeed you.
Shame. [/s]

U married too early
22yo and you're married, hmm

Read I'm reading every minute but
Those that said that they are educated are the problems we have in this world especially Nigeria
Too much book de confuse brain
Now look at where the educated one kept Nigeria
Who and who is handling our Economy a professor in actually sense he suppose show us his educational quality through his policies but things are hard
Look most of this Agbero boys will do better than PHD holders.
Dem no de study wisdom for school

Take my advise.

Men are big babies and you know babies are possessive and stubborn.

You have to understand that he’s your husband and not just anyone else.

He said clearly that women who work are not submissive.
He’s right about that.

Don’t argue with him. Show him that you are not going to be rebellious.

Don’t nag at him Learn to negotiate with your husband. Treat him you will treat yourself, because you won’t nag at yourself, but you’ll rather negotiate.

Don’t destroy your marriage now It’s obvious that he’s no more comfortable being around you; you have to make him feel comfortable. To have him with you because if you start to loose him, small girls with big gODS with snap him up.

Marriage is not always easy There’re no perfect marriages, so learn to compromise and always apply negotiation to avoid having a destroyed home.

From my understanding, there’s something you’re doing that is making him take such a decision and others things he does.

We know you’re a graduate and want to work and all that, but lower your standards and remember that you’re married.

The secret weapon is NEGOTIATION

I wish you good luck

Im sorry to insult you like this but you must be crazy.

So her husband has the right to age her like wine?

He wants to waste her and mess her up in the house until he thinks nobody will come near her before he allows her to get a life or what?

healthserve:



My brother God bless you. How I wish I knew one of your single sisters earlier....


God forbid I give my daughter to any man who stops them from living their dreams. Men that turn doctors to tailors. Rather than destroy the woman, it's their selves they should fixand build up. Stupeed tins they are.

UyaiIncomparabl:


What do you mean she married too early? Is there a particular age for getting married?

TonyeBarcanista:

You sound funny Honestly!

World over, INCLUDING developed countries, 18-21 year olds do get married. Nigeria of course is no different.

I don't even know the generation crap you are saying but it doesn't make sense honestly.

Anyway, my point is, 22 year old is not too young for marriage.

Educated. Embarked on over 300 person Al projects. At the moment working on my startup. Company 20 workers. Commander in chief of an entire clan where even married men take notes when I talk. Education isn't attending a school but of the development of the mind, soul, character by values and experiences learnt through the process. Education without refinement amounts to waste of opportunity. Education isn't schooling. Many go to school, few come out educated.


Top 2.5% my entire educational career. Worked across 23 fields of life. Education has done me good. Even my peers see me, come down from their cars and take a bow

Like I said its barbaric men that behave like that. Work makes a woman into a better person.

My mum retired as a top director in her profession. But we were raised up excellently.
See women not married should shine there eyes when dating. Find out the kind of man you are tying yourself to.
A lot are dream killers.
Every human being created by God comes to this world with a dream.

If you are a man, ensure your wife pursues her dream, support her, don't let it affect the home stead, learn how to balance it. And you will have a happy, fulfilled woman in your home

Most men only think because they are young now, you will get old. And when you do, then you will know that your children will be more inclined to there mothers, and if you made her life miserable, pay back time is coming.

Love your wife
Make her happy and fulfilled
And you will know that you are laying a good seed you will reap in the future.


But most times we are now raising very wicked, mean and callous men, who think its only now forgetting the future.

Look at one very powerful rich senator them from oguta in IMO state. I won't call his name. He never valued women.
Today he is sick, a vegetable, can't move again. With all his money, no woman is with him, wife's, children all abandoned him.
There is payback tomorrow, as long as there is God in heaven

Desric:
If you are all these, you won't be too quick dispel the man for not allowing his wife to work just yet, instead you'd have advised the wife to find out what the man's reasons are for not wanting her to work before you can give a sound advice on a way forward.

midnighter:


She shouldnt have to choose between those two. Your house shouldnt be a prison

SBL28:
You have to take some hard decisions. Your parents failed you by not fighting for you, it is now left to you to save yourself.

You should be doing something meaningful with your life. Why did he not marry a stark illiterate instead of imprisoning someone's daughter.

Go and start looking for a job and avoid getting pregnant at this period (that is what some men use to pin down their wives). If he wants to break the marriage because of that, let him. You can't just be sitting on your hands waiting for him to feed you for the rest of your life.


Edited to add for the slow pokes here yarning dust under my comment:

No sensible man will divorce his wife because she got a job. She can't be crying about not being able to do a job when she does not even have one in the first place. For how long will she continue to nurture her husband's insecurities?? She should look for a job that won't be too far, somewhere she won't have to close late so he won't have more ammunition to use against her.

Many older women today regret not standing up for themselves on time. The earlier the issue is trashed out the better.
