This is a generic term used by women when their bid to separate in-laws from their husbands failed them.


The older sisters are your own older sisters too. You have to be in their good book at all times as long as it isn't against your legitimate interest. As long as they are not telling you to do overboard


There is no manipulation whatsoever. It is you trying to separate your husband from his sisters. As a wife, you have to accept your in-laws as yours and live in peace with them as long as they aren't perpetuating evil against your interest. Your husband has lived with them for MANY years before he met you. He knows them better than you do. You have to find way to sort it with them than try to make him see reason to separate from them.

   What transpired among you in the 10 years? What is the recurring issue?

   
This is irrelevant to the subject

  
I'd do same if I was your hubby! There is no way you can claim to love hubby without showing same love and respect to his BLOOD!

  
Your mind has always been made up and you are done pretending! His elder siblings are all he has and you must take them.likewise


Go and make peace with your in-laws and stop creating this arrogance.

Do know that you will never enjoy hubby as long as you are warring with his blood!

If you like take the advice of all these frustrated, angry, bitter and aggressive feminists, and male she-men, NA YOU SABI

Na Them be this.

Note that you really have a great husband who's primary target is to let peace reign at all times.
Secondly, he doesn't take life too seriously (so that he's generous).
You have different options. But the best is to follow your husband's pattern- peace and generosity, with Wisdom and prayers.
As long as God has provided the basic needs of life for you and your family, continue in helping your in-laws (as you help yours too) because that's the legacy you are building (whether you are appreciated or not)

ur hubby is doing well and u want him for ur self alone dats wrong
Haba! I've been trying not to comment on this thread bt it seems I can't bear that anymore.
Firstly, I see more misogynists on this forum daily.

2. Many men/boys think giving money to a wife or meeting all her material needs are all dt a woman needs to be happy/fulfilled.
I guess u've never experienced verbal abuse dt result into frustration/depression. I'm sure y'all don't knw what it means to be unhappy.

3. Have u ever been a homemaker? D'u knw what it takes to keep a home/house habitable (cleaning,good meals,laughter,discipline, etc)? Then add human care, including kids, nt to mention dt such is either invalid/a convalescent (she said one put up wif them for abt 6 mths afta a complicated surgery), highly demanding (as per almighty inlaws dt they are who will make d simplest task diff jst to make u appear as useless).

4. For d married lots, ow does it feel when a certain ppl (who av their homes) make turning ur own house to a getaway centre/canteen/hotel a habit?
Is it d stress of cooking meals,washing up (wch most inlaws will find condescending if they do),nt being able to manage resources (bf they label u stingy), no privacy, no freedom, etc . One even lived there for five years shocked
Make dem fear God o.
Even if they claim it's their brother's money, can money alone cook/care for smone?

If dis woman's account is true, she don try abeg.

Why can't those sister inlaws stay in their homes&if they enjoy being together, find sm other way around dt&stop frustrating a fellow woman. Where do they keep their husbands while on sojourn in anoda's home? What lessons are they teaching their children? To be inconsiderate?

No wonder they say we women are our own enemies.


@ tonyebarcanista &sm others, I'm really appalled by ur comments on family issues. Guess u've nt witnessed it 1st hand ow sm inlaws can be evil without cause.

Guys, it's one or a combination of two/more of these make unhappy families.

I knw a mother who used to send d son's wife bk at d door to their room on return frm office&wld be d one helping him out of his jacket&all. What d'u av to say to dt?

Once a man/woman is married, it's d responsibly of sensible/mature/well-meaning relatives to give them required space to build their new family without interference.

If d lady's acct here is true like I earlier said, I can confidently conclude dt either d hubby&siblings in question have a bad upbringing or decided nt to yield to a good one they'd&av refused to grow up still... cos if they're actually sincere and seeking joy for their only brother, they'd rather profer a solution/steer clear till he sees d problem himself.

Since we can't know if the story is true biko just go with logic and give two scenario's
Be a logical elder and not a sentimental one

its not a Nigerian thing only but a common bad culture among universal african customs whereby elders by birth think there are wiser than anyone younger than them and the young one tend to follow every bark by the so called elder

this woman's husband is the young who look up too much to his elders sister without realising that he is also damaging his own marriage

Are his sisters not women like the wife? Why do women hate themselves and make men's lives miseAQ0Aable?


Women are not meant to hate each other. Marking territory is one thing women do. A man should be able to manage the relationship between his sisters and his wife. Many people may not agree with this but...he and his wife are meant to be closer than he and his family because "two have become one". They have to work in each other's interest.

Families should stop seeing a wife as an intruder. That's where to start from.

TonyeBarcanista:

Your mother/parents lost influence over you the day they accepted dowry from your husband and his family. That was the day you dropped your maiden name for your husband's name.

Why should wife's mother be having influence in marriage? You and your kids belong to your husband and his family by marriage traditions.

Once married, your culture becomes irrelevant as a woman, what is relevant is the culture of the family you are married into. But his sisters don't have any valid reason to be angry towards your mother! You only need your husband's permission, not theirs.


If your husband agreed abinitio for the distant relative to come live with you, then he should sort himself with his siblings. However, I think your husband need to also accommodate your relatives and make this clear to his sisters.

If they don't go to their brother's house, whose house should they go? You have to understand that by marriage you are also part of his family. However, as long as their coming isn't to undermine you then no cause for alarm. If they undermine you, you should sort it with your husband

This is wrong of him even though I think he wants everyone to blend. But it isn't right!

You didn't talk your own side of the conflict but conflict is imminent when two or more person live under same roof. It is up to you to decide how best to resolve and avoid further conflicts!

However, she "reporting" you is highly inappropriate. It shows she is a trouble!

If what you said is the whole truth then he should man up. But I suspect that you concealed some information

You did well and your reward will come but not necessarily from the person you showed kindness. You don't need anybody's appreciation for your good deed.

Hubby taking care of them is the appropriate thing to do to his BLOOD! There is no problem here as long as it is not at the detriment of your home. But the lasting solution is for your hubby to set them up!

As for "eating alone", I believe before you came hubby has been taking care of them, so don't expect it to change, and don't try to change him from doing that

Meanwhile, try resolve with your SILs... All of you should recognise your own fault and make amends for there to be lasting solution

Else, you may lose your man and home!


Meanwhile, I know that the story will be different when we hear the side of your SILs

I didn't read all your posts, but getting to the part when your dowry is paid, your parents ....... Your wife is caged and in bondage, from your mentality. No insults intended. Women shine your eye very well. You are marrying the family not the man. When his family is challenging one, he is a problematic man.

Often times, single ladies do not properly understand their men before getting married.

They don't know his stance on issues concerning in-laws, finances, relationship of the marriage, culture (what it states and his stance), religion, job/career/purpose and then they start complaining when issues arise.

If you are married to a man who believes you are an addition to his nuclear family, he will treat you different and have different expectations from when he believes you both a building a new home which is an offshoot of the extended family. Some ladies now use husband first name - last name to denote that they are a small part of a larger clan.

When I say a husband is the second most important decision a woman would ever make, it sounds like I am dragging women back to the 10th century or anti-women or anti-feminist.

If all is well, I do not know how in-laws who are not in the same space have such a great influence on the couple.

Women, shine your eyes and use your sense.

So a sister shouldn't visit her brother because of the arrival of a wife abi? The problem is that those of you family that are close knitted think differently.

Did the OP tell you that her husband isn't caring for her and his kids? Your problem is that you'all want the man entirely to yourselves

If that's how you see it, IT IS YOUR BUSINESS

The issue isn't the sister visiting her brother, but trying to influence the home of the man because they are his blood, once you are married, your wife and kids become your top priority.

It will surprise you to know that the same sisters trying to influence their brother's home would never allow their sister in-laws dictate how they run their home, but here they are trying to run another woman's home.

I'm not even judging base on the story the OP wrote, it's a one sided story, but the point still remains, as a man getting married, you should take 100% control of your home and not let anyone be it father, mother, sister etc control your home.

Just help the sister crucify your husband, by doing this he will realize his mistakes and then find ways to amend .never you complain or show bitterness to any of their action ok..


Exactly! She should even carry the TV, children's bed, refrigerator and give to his sisters. When her husband asks, she should tell him they wanted it.

My approach is never to fight directly. By the time, I set you up according what you think is good for you, he will be the one to retrace his steps quietly. He won't even know he is under attack cheesy

No problem marrying his family but if his family acts like mad people I will not hesitate to dump them like a piece of shit which they are. Cos even if my sibling misbehave I will do same. I can't throwaway my life or feelings cos I married from a jobless family. You go come chop my pepper and salt come dey gimme problem,nah you won't try that. Wetin I go do sef your brother go fear.

I know some wives are bad, so are some SIL.
Efe, we are not discussing general family issue but the issue of this OP.

However, lemme tell you, a man MUST have an independent mind once he becomes of age, and at same time show love and kindness to his BLOOD.

The moment I left my father's house was the moment I saw myself as an independent mind. I don't seek permission from anyone to take my own decision. This is true with most men.

The problem is that some of these wives expect their husbands people to "back off" from their audio homes the moment they become Mrs to the man. They see the man's people, their new family, as intruders. They don't even want their man to extend the care he shows them at home to his own BLOOD especially if the man is successful even when it doesn't affect smooth running of the home. Most of them don't even want to see Mama in the house of her son!

On the other hand, some of these in-laws (especially females) always want to ensure that their brother do more for them that he does to his wife. Some are monitoring spirit. Some refused to see the wife as wife, sister and daughter, but they see her with the lens of an outsider that has come to reap where she did not sow.

You see, most times the issue is two-way and as a man you have to handle all issues in their own merit. But sadly, both groups expect the man to "stand by them" against the other at such times.

You have no idea on nothing and you remind me of a post I saw yesterday, “Before you argue with someone, ask yourself is that person is mentally stable enough to grasp the concept of different perspectives, because if not, there’s absolutely no point.” That post is for you, you simply can’t grab the concept of different perspectives.

Besides, are you sure everything is actually well with your own marriage? Instead of asking if people are married or if everything is well with their marriage, the question is for you. You are not ready to give the Op the benefit of doubt and like you judge people from their replies I should be able to judge your marriage also. Are you sure your wife isn’t trying to separate you from your family also? Since that’s basically all women do? And I hope you seek consent from your family before having s*x with your wife since they have been your adviser since you were a baby? See the Bible even said “a man shall leave his mother and father and cleave to his wife,” that also goes for the wife. If humans are wrong, is the Bible equally wrong?. Though I’m not saying either party’s family has to totally leave their family cos family is everything yet they have to leave such that their input becomes secondary and you and your wife has to decide if to follow their input or not. Their input becomes minimal when you get married because you are about creating your own family also. Even what works in the family you came from might not work in the family you are trying to create for yourself, they are not the rulers of your home. After you, your wife should be the one who can take decisions about your home after you, not your family. The same way you don’t want your wife running to her family for any small thing or advise is the same way you should be sure to make sure yours also has a limit to the way they interfere in your marriage. Or is it that your wife do not have a family or her family has not been for there for her? Marriage isn’t for the husband alone, it’s equally for the wife. Marriage is between two people and not just a person or three or more people but just “two individuals.” Any other person’s input is minimal and should be discussed by the two people involved in the marriage before it is been act upon.

Yes, the op might be lying but why don’t we give people the benefit of doubt? Do you think people can’t hate others without reason? So what if her husband’s family didn’t like her even while he was dating her maybe because of her job or fashion sender or anything? Do I need to tell you they would do all they can to frustrate her so she can leave their brother. Yes I agree it’s her job to make them like her but then it doesn’t come easy like that and while at it, she should not forget to respect herself. And Mr a man needs to respect his wife, when you respect your wife, your family will. You need to respect your wife, the way you place your wife is the way your family will equally place her.

Uncle Please learn to grasp the concept to different perspectives, you are not always right and again being able to see things in different perspectives will open your eyes to different opportunities and that way you would grow.

Good morning
