why are women are like this, in my own case i am a graduate and working comfortable and i married secondary school leaver, as i am typing this she nag a lot over unnecessary things, she told me her money is only meant for her personal use and not for me. my neighbor frequently report her to me of gossip, i strongly believe her level of education is affecting her. my people i am too young to face any high B.P because of wife
You couldn't get a graduate or more older mature woman like you because they are midnight newspapers, well enjoy your early morning news paper.

Btw, why have you not done something about her education since you can clearly see it is affecting her reasoning? You still want to evade responsibilities?

Why did you choose to marry her, out of all the women in the world? This is a honest question and your answer will be very helpful.
Re: My Wife Doesn’t Respect Me Since I Lost My Job by Johnnyjohnnyman(op):
Thanks for all your advice. I really appreciated it, , I did not want to bore you with a long story but let me just add this important information. This how my sister duped me , after waiting for about a month and 5 days , I still did not heard from her about the goods , so I called her asking how is everything there , she told me she bought everything and gave it to her friend who was coming to Nigeria with it , she gave me his contacts , i messaged him on WhatsApp introducing myself and asking him when I will be expecting the goods from him, he has seen my messages but did not responded yet , so I called back my sister telling her that the man wasn’t responding to me, she told me , he is a busy man and reassured me that he will respond back soon which he did after five days saying he will be in Nigeria in a week and he will contact me with the address where will be meeting , so I waited patiently for him but he didn’t contact me after almost three weeks , I started messaging him day and night asking about my goods , he wasn’t responding even my sister stopped picking my calls, I was frustrated and worrying sick , stressed out that I could no longer pretend to be working and depression hit my hard , my wife noticed that something was wrong with me , she asked me why I wasn’t going to work anymore , I lied to her that my boss and family traveled so I was on the break till they are back, in the meanwhile I messaged the guy again cursing him badly and that was when he confessed to me , that my sister did not give her anything to give to me , she just use him to lies to me , I asked him if we could meet up in person so we can call my sister together for him to say everything that he has told me to my sister , he has agreed to meet up , but blocked me, I then called my sister telling her what the guy has told me , she said he was lying And cried that she can never do something to harm me , She said I should give her two days for her to gather all the proofs that will confirm that she did give the guy my goods so I agreed then that evening she blocked me too

OP you lied about the reason you hid your plans from your wife unfortunately she knows you and the real reason better, now you are paying for it.

You can decide to still lie to strangers for sympathy but just tell yourself the truth for once, pick the lessons from your issue and mend your ways.
Lol. Nairaland

She got pregnant for me and because I don't want to treat her bad I decide to marry her

she doesn't not respect you not because you are poor or have no job but because you do such life changing things without telling her. and I am very sure she tells you everything she does before you lost your job.
Your sister too no help matter at all.
it's well. just keep apologising to her, she will forgive you.

Men should learn that their wives are part of them and should be carried along in everything they do.

Why will you lie to your wife that you have lost your job?
may be you have made her have some unrealistic expectations from you.
Re: My Wife Doesn’t Respect Me Since I Lost My Job by Johnnyjohnnyman(op):
I was hurt and cried badly , to be duped by my own sister, the pain was unbearable , I did not know what else to do, depression was worse , I distance myself from my wife and kids , My wife was worrying about me and I kept telling her nothing is wrong with me , even after being duped , I just did not how to tell her , what will she think of me , I knew she will be very hurt that I decided to do all these without informing her, I just didn’t know how to tell her and the last resort was to tell my mother the truth , so she can talk with my sister to send my money back , because I knew only my mother was able to solve the problem, my mother was very heartbroken she couldn’t believe what my sister did , she promised she will be talking to her and after two weeks to no avail, I involved my uncles and we had a family meeting , my mother , two uncles , me and younger bro at my mother place , she called my sister , she picked and my uncles asked her what really happened, she narrated the story still insisted that she gave the goods to the guy , so my uncles told her because she is the one who knows and trusted the him , she should resolve the problem with him and get back to us , she promised to call back in an hour , so we were all waiting for her call and after like 4hours , I knew and told my uncles she will not call again , and her number was off. My mother was very hurt , I could tell from her face and myself I cried like a woman and I didn’t know how to get home on that day . My uncles has told me to go home and tell my wife that I lost my job and got duped but I shouldn’t mentioning my sister that I should just say by some guy I met online , my mother has suggested for us to move back with her to reduce the stress of paying rent so I went home , I did not want to lie to my wife the way my uncle has said so I was very honest with her , the minutes she heard about the money and the way I was duped by my sister , that was when everything has turned upside down and that was the beginning of my sorrow. She reject the idea of moving to my mother at least if she did that would have save us money from paying rent

Her level of education have nothing to do with her character unless she's not exposed or intelligent.

Re: My Wife Doesn’t Respect Me Since I Lost My Job by cococandy(f):
OP not cool.

I would be upset too if I was your wife.
I Definitely won’t insult you but you might wish I did insult you instead based on how I would react to that.

As for your children insulting you or your wife insulting your mom, there’s no excuse for that. Absolutely none.

Re: My Wife Doesn’t Respect Me Since I Lost My Job by Neurotika: 6:29am On Jan 29, 2020
Dude, focus on getting yourself a job to take care of your kids. If you've got friends, discuss your jobless state with them and ask them to help. You could even go farther by contacting your former employer to assist in giving you referrals after explaining things to him.

About your 'wife', well I don't know if you've actually thoroughly apologized to her. If you've done so and she's still on this disrespect nonsense, move on and ensure you can atleast feed yourself in the meantime. Even if it means being fed by your mum. Leave that environment for the sake of your mental health.

Marriage to me is deeper than all the crap people have been posting up there. There are certain mistakes, only those we share a deep bond with can forgive us for. Unfortunately the mother of your kids isn't in that category.

I repeat, focus your energy on getting a job!,...then feed your fam from a distance. Also obliterate from your mind the belief that you have a wife. You don't.

Why don't you trace your sister to were she is based and arrest her, it seem you are lacking que on what to do this matter is beyond organising family member to call your sister, make way to were she is based, use the local police and they will track and arrest her

If an average Nigerian non-virgin lady can comfortably choose a rich Chimpanzee over her father because of money, who are you not to get insulted because of your broke state?

You fvcked up by not letting your wife know that you've stopped working. It made no sense, but still, that shouldn't warrant such behavior from someone who you call a "WIFE".

-Your sister duped you.
-Your kids don't respect you[Possibly, their minds have been poisoned by their mother]
-Your wife insults you and doesn't respect you.

Nwanne, if you don't take time, you'll wake one day and see yourself chilling with your ancestors, as a result of being dead.

I'll advise you to travel. Travel from that hell of a house straight to your mum, explain everything and stay with her a bit to sketch out your plans. He's the only woman on earth right now who can accept you the way you are.

You aren't traveling because you are a coward or because you don't love your family, but because you need PEACE. All you need now is peace, not unnecessarily pressure, before thinking straight on how and what to do to salvage this your horrible state of financial quagmire.
and you think its only non virgins that love money?

There you guys go again. This scenario keeps replaying on Nairaland. Soon the wife will come here with her own side of the story which will ultimately show the OP's tale is one sided at best and most likely grossly embellished. Men on Nairaland seem to derive orgasmic joy from bashing women. I remember the strungup79 saga a few weeks ago. Many men here called the poor woman unprintable names, and when the truth came out, they went slinking back with their tails between their legs.

@OP, if your wife is as bad as you portray then that's very unkind of her. However she may be lashing out as a result of the fact that you didn't level with her from the first. If I were in her shoes, I'd feel hurt that my husband chose to consult someone else and in the process got defrauded. Maybe, just maybe if oga had planned how to invest the money with his wife, he wouldn't be in this lamentable situation.

I have lost all respect for ladies on this thread.
At all cases they must hold on to the narrative of a man being the perpetrator and a woman being the victim.
When a woman opens a wailing thread they crawl out of their rabbit holes to call the man toxic but when a man opens a wailing thread they always require her own side of the story and claim that is because women may have being oppressed in the past. They must gaslight you into believing that you warranted such abuse.
Majority of girls on this forum are pathetic,damn! Beasts in human form.

Did the skreps not see where the Op stated he avoided telling his wife because she had high blood pressure and didn't want to bother her ?

A man is always wrong ,a lady is always right(if at all she is wrong they claim it was his actions that pushed her),.

No one should be verbally abused,no matter what,especially with his intentions. He didn't use the money to chase women or drink,he wanted to impress his own wife.
He is on the ground now,the evening newspapers are using this an opportunity to gloat . why kick someone that has falling?

Nigerian ladies hold dearly the narrative that men are polygamous in nature but refuse to accept that when women get in power they misuse it. A man can feed a lady for ten years but the one week she feeds him he is sure to get more insults than the plate of food she serves him.

I don't blame ubunja and other redpillers for holding females with low esteem.

ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT EVIL STORIES MAKE THE NEWS MORE BECAUSE IT'S WHAT GIVES THE AVERAGE AFRICAN MULTIPLE ORGASMS.

WE ALWAYS SEE NEWS ABOUT FAILED RELATIONSHIPS, FAILED MARRIAGES, FAILED BUSINESSES, PAIN, FAILURE, WITCHCRAFT AND EVILS.
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE SEE NEWS ON WORKING RELATIONSHIPS, SUCCESS, BLESSINGS, JOY AND PROGRESS? ONLY ONCE IN A WHILE.

PEOPLE HARDY WRITE TO PRAISE THEIR FAITHFUL PARTNERS, KIND BOSSES AND GOOD NEIGHBORS, BUT WILL ALWAYS WRITE ABOUT UNFAITHFUL PARTNERS, WICKED BOSSES AND EVIL NEIGHBORS. I'VE OBSERVED THAT IN MY COUNTRY, IT'S MORE IMPORTANT (AND MOST TIMES DELICIOUS) TO ALWAYS TALK BAD INSTEAD OF GOOD ABOUT ANYTHING.

DON'T LET THESE STORIES INFLUENCE YOUR DECISIONS AND PROGRESS IN LIFE. WE'RE CURSED ALREADY AS A NATION BUT THE POWER TO LIBERATE YOURSELF IS WITHIN YOU.

HOW DO YOU LOOK AT THE OPINION OF A LITTLE CHILD?
FULL OF BIAS, EMOTIONS, AND MANY TIMES, IRRELEVANT NONSENSES. RIGHT?
I DON'T HAVE TO WRITE EPISTLES ON THESE MATTERS LIKE YOU DID, BECAUSE A LONG TIME AGO, I DECIDED TO EQUATE THE OPINION OF MANY PEOPLE TO THAT OF LITTLE KIDS, AND IT'S BEEN WORKING JUST FINE.

the wrongest place to get advice is NL. Have you noticed the response male and female are given on this forum differs?
People use threads like this as battleground for gender wars. A lot of people use predicaments of nlanders to gloat over the opposite gender. There is a battle amongst nlanders to place the member of their gender the victim.

Scrolling down the comments of the threads makes me feel hopeless concerning Nigerian youths

Shame though, shame
You are perfectly right. I noticed that most females support females and most males support males irrespective of the facts on ground

This has nothing to do with her level of education, she's just crass.

There are women who call themselves graduates who behave like that too.

Upbringing & character is your wife's problem, not education.
