No, he was very good and loving. He was my best friend and lover
Hmmm.... One thing you should know is that men step up when they get married. The reason why you are seeing the difference is that you guys dated before marriage.

Before marriage, men will see the woman they are dating as someone they should move the earth for. But after marriage, the see her as someone who should be loyal and submissive as they (the men) are now the head of the family.

How you will make them return back to their modus operandi before the marriage depends on how you treat them.

After marriage, men feel insecure. They don't know if they will be able to command the respect that will earn them "Head of the family". And so they might go the extra mile to ensure they earn it.

As a woman, you have to understand this insecurity and ensure you don't give them any reason to doubt their competence as men.

If you're arguing continuously with them and trying to undermine their authority, you are increasing the insecurity. And they will fight back. They will also fight rough.

If you want me to give you my own thoughts on how to navigate this situation since you don't want a divorce, quote me again.

So what do you think changed?
He said I don't respect him and truthfully I don't.

I find it difficult to respect him because he does not play his role, I told him this.
Our rent is due and we agreed this year he will do rent and children school fees,
My children had to stay back from school because fees were not paid last term on time.
Now our landlord has come twice to ask for rent, I've asked him how much he has so I'll contribute but he said I should leave him alone, I know I may end up paying the rent because I hate embarrassment.
I know its no excuse to not respect him but this his attitude makes it difficult for me.

Yeah.. Thank you
I'm in my house I paid rent for, so where do you want me to go to, I wish I can give you his number so you can tell him I'm manipulative and he should leave and maybe I'll be at peace.

I created this thread not just to criticize my husband but to see where and what I did wrong, so I can fix my home.

If I cared this just so you all can abuse him how does it create Peace in my home.

I stayed clearly his bad traits and mine and his good yes traits and mine.

No constructive criticism except to blame.

Explain in clear terms how I manipulated s 3oyesrs old man, so I'll learn. I'm no victim, I have my faults too.

Please have your pen & paper ready...

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM 101

- Both of you are terrible... you are no saint and he ain't no pope either.
- Both of you are abusive to each other.
- You want to get pregnant again by the same man who has been bashing your head in, and landing you in the hospital as you claim - so while he is a monster, you are a psycho.
- He has told you to go sleep with another man/men if you want to... he clearly does not care about you or what you do with your vagîna.
- He earns more income than you do, but does not contribute anything to the house despite. Apparently, you pay the house rent (you just added this now) and you also handle every other thing.
- Your own family have wondered and asked why you are still with him.


Course Summary:

It's obvious that both of you are simply having a go at each other, trying to outdo one another in the game of manipulations. Same game which you started by telling him you wanted to see if you can get pregnant and then keeping it against his wishes, is the same game he has turned around to use on you.
The thing now is, he is the one winning because his actions and words are clear to a day old baby that he does not care about you.

There really is nothing left for you in that marriage.
Perhaps you believe in miracles, and if so, then keep enduring. The only thing you should do if you're truly over it, is to gather what's left of your sanity, beauty, confidence, and health, then make a move on separation.
Asking him if he wants to separate from you seems to me like you're not frustrated enough yet - it's like a captive asking her tormentor if he is tired.

Since you're the one paying the rent, you can wait for the rent to get due and you should not renew it.
Meanwhile you should have already made plans to move into another apartment WITHOUT him.
I figure that since patience is one of your admirable qualities, then waiting a few more months for your rent to expire won't hurt you anymore than you're already hurt.


That's my time for now... please leave your questions in the comment box below...

Don't pay the rent , and ignore the embarrassment. Infact, days the landlord comes in for his money, leave the sitting room and allow him talk to the landlord man to man. He may make alternative arrangements about paying his rent in bits, but allow him sort out the rent.
If you do decide to not continue with the marriage, it would be easier for you to move out and go rent another place with the money, instead of being stuck in the same place with someone that you both despise each other.

You sound like you really don't want the separation or divorce.

Your husband also does not seem like he wants to leave the marriage either.

Hmmmmm.

Can you ask him what respect is to him? And are you willing to take the first step towards resolution by doing a bit of what is respect to him?

You are no Christian and there's nothing godly about you.

What Christian woman results to curses the minute they feel offended? It's your type that maltreat and even kill housemaids and then lift up holy hands in church on Sunday. Audio sister mary. Oponu!

This is why you've been cursed with the miserable marriage you found yourself in tongue
While I understand you are trying to be hard you dont need to insult her to this extent.
Whether she brought it upon herself or not she is already in agony, broken.
People make mistakes all the time. Dont rub it in.

I don't even know where to start.

First of all, I think you thought both of you were in love before the marriage but you were mistaken. He saw you as a mere friend and was very reluctant but subsequently forced himself to make up his mind.

You could have been a lovely wife but your husband's irresponsibility is not helping matters, your frustration of him not helping at home made him to lose your respect. It's actually very difficult to respect a man that doesn't respect himself because respect is reciprocal.

Your husband actually took you for granted hence his queer behavior and his love is actually questionable leaving one to wonder if he really wants to be in that marriage.


I don't know why everyone is blaming you but I don't think you forced him into the marriage. The only exception is that men always like being the one to push for marriage, anything on the contrary will make them not to love the woman especially if he knows that the woman loves him. They end up taking the woman for granted.

People are blaming you because you argue and fight him, but they forgot the reason why you are so much frustrated, it's actually bad for a man to forsake his responsibility for a woman. Such can be very frustrating.


You are really torn between being in the marriage or leaving which is dependent on his changing.
Funny enough, you really hope to have two kids incase you people are separating. Though you would love to stay if he changed.


He is even confused either to leave you or stay.


Going forward, try not to argue with him again, (I know this is difficult considering his lackadaisical attitude to Home management)

Keep on having a heart to heart talk with him (Will still be difficult because he doesn't seem to be a listening type)

Try your best to manage the situation and argue reasonably with no hot words that could cause him beating you.


Then on the last note. Try your best to be in that marriage that will be devoid of discord and by extension, a domestic violence.

If it's not working, please take your child and leave (Even though you could have loved two)
As far as there is life, things will be more beautiful for those that believe.

Many people have advised you already but I will still add my own.

From what you have described so far, you have shown this man that you have no where to go and that you will do anything to keep him. He is not going to change. He hurts you physically and emotionally and you are begging for his attention, you spend 80% on the house, etc. You are enabling his bad behaviour. You wanted to leave and he started to act nicely.

See, he knows your worth. Unfortuanately, you don't know your worth and things won't change until you change them.

You care about what people will say, are those people suffering with you? In the next 20yrs, would it matter what anyone's thought of you is? No. It won't cos everyone has been busy living their own lives and will continue to.

You also think you are staying for your child but that's a big lie you are telling yourself. You are doing that child a disservice by bringing him up in such an environment. He might eventually grow up to lack respect for you or even resent you for some of the things you wrote here.


For your sake and for your child's sake, leave that man. You deserve better. I know you are afraid of what will happen to you as a single woman. Ok. tell me, what are you gaining right now? The 80% money you are spending to feed him probably could have bought you a piece of land somewhere. Look at other women who took brave decisions and learn from them. If Meghan Markle didn't leave her former marriage, could she have met the prince?

Think deeply and speak to your feet.

Thank you so much.

I had s long discussion with him about our issues last night and I must confess that I do agree with most points you said.

He said I made him this way, that I made him lose focus for his life and become lazy and s pastor told him I have negative spirit. That he has checked out and I irritate him. That he is not succeeding but I am succeeding that I should search myself.
I then asked if he wants to separate and he first said he is not sure and when I said he should decide he said yes.
I've accepted that we are no more together and I have to move on, his cousins are currently staying with us, so I want to share the foodstuffs and toiletries St home because Ill only be responsible for my child and ward.
I'm no more going to cook or be responsible for everyone. We are now officially roommates until we sort out our accommodation.
I know it will end in praise

Op, kindly learn one thing from nairaland. The people calling you manipulative won't stop because it's there way of ridiculing women here. Don't bother trying to explain yourself, you have gotten enough good advice, turn off this thread and leave. This group of people calls 12years old thief and accuses the mom of manipulating the step father how much more you with ovarian cyst. Please save your energy, decide what you want and do it. You don't need societal approval, you can be a divorcee and be happy. Don't think because some foolish people think divorcees are outcast, you are suppose to die in marriage, please it's not true. Go through family section, many thread on growing up and you will see so many damaged kids, their mom kept pushing and the end result is what we have today as societal problem. Like I said, stop trying to give this people things to feed on. It's their way.

He is very good with our child, play with him sndvcuddle and laugh, I don't want to deny my snap those loving moments that's why I stay. We don't have sex unless I cry and beg before he will, I'm not even interested in the sex anymore because how can I be crying and begging for sex, I know I'm not ugly because I have admirers so many, it's by Godswill I've not cheated on him because I've been neglected and abused and I have the fear of God. Now Im dead to sex because I can't keep begging for it. So I keep myself very busy to avoid the feeling. It's not been easy but what can I ssy
The way you sound,believe me you can not keep marriage....cos you are disrespectful.
Because he insult you,you insult him also,is he ur husband or boyfriend?
Your marriage is built on nothing than the pregnancy which you used as a yardstick to trap him in marriage while you are happy to be with him,he is not happy with you cos u used the pregnancy Against him.
Your marriage is not islamically nor Christianically ( my terms�).

Let him go else one day we will read a different story here.



But you have to learn to respect a man that is drilling your pussy as a husband.

Since he has said he is no longer interested, move on.

Experience has taught me that once a spouse can verbally say they are no longer interested in the marriage after all efforts to mediate, they check out sooner or later.

As soon as someone beats you in a relationship or marriage, leave immediately. Also I’m perplexed that you want to have another child with someone who is treating you like this. Women need to understand the importance of loving themselves. How can you not love yourself enough?? Same with those women who keep saying they are staying because of the children... is it when you’re killed in the marriage and you can’t even care for the children that you will understand??
Normalize leaving an abusive relationship immediately. Marriage is not do or die please.
All the best.

Confusedwomsn:
I got married about five years ago to my friend becsuse I got pregnant...
We were really good friends, infsct best friends and I shared everything with him, I told him everything. While dating I was sick and diagnosed with ovarian cyst and I got to know that I may find it difficult to get pregnant. Stupid me confided in him that Im scarred I may not be able to get pregnant and we should try. And then I got pregnant and I was like okay fine what's the big deal we are both working and in love, let's get married and have the child but he said I should abort the baby.
I told him no but if he does not want to get married to me fine. So many bullshit later, we got married and it's been hell.
I have endured every bullshit possible beatings, neglect, insults and all that. But I have not been innocent too I've been abusive too.
If you ask me I'll say he provoked me but if you ask him he'll say I provoked him.

He says I don't respect him but I tell him he can't force me to respect him, he has to earn it.
For example, he does not do any housechore , no not even one although I don't really care much because I have someone thst helps me out but I've asked him to take care of his clothes which he does not, scatters his clothes like s child and just wants to sit and press his phone all day then hang out.
We both work and he earns better right now, but I'm 80oercent provide for the upkeep for our home, 99oercent of the furniture and appliances in our home was bought by me. He constantly accuse me of cheating when I don't go anywhere at all, I go to work, my shop and straight back home. He keeps late night and comes back to call me s prostitute and I'm like I sit at home but you go out but somehow I'm the prostitute.
When I'm angry I insult him so much and then he hits me, I insult him because I'm frustrated.
I go out there hustle so hard but I'm been ridiculed..

I told him let's have one more child to make it two but he said no that he is notsure , he is never sure about anything, very slow. I still want to have one more child with him because I want all my kids to have one Father but he says his not ready. When will you be ready, he does not know...

My family thinks I'm crazy to still be with him but I don't want my son to grow from s broken home, I don't want my kids to have different fathers, I actually still do love him and although it may be foolish of me, I somehow believe he will change.
I've prayed, cried, fasted but there is absolutely no difference. People tell me I this is how cross river men are but for how long will I continue, he is seven years older than me but behaves like s child with no future plan. I really confused and sincerely tired.

You jumped into this thread, crucifying the op, claiming it's boyfriend that washes his clothes yet in your house, you are that slave you are claiming the op wants to turn her husband to. You do it happily because according to you, you love your wife. I truly pity those who go to you for counsel. I am very sure your wife is also perfect.

Look at you,did you sleep at home last night at all,when have you become op spokesperson?
Where in my comment i said is a boyfriend that washes his clothes?
I said you can not ask you husband to wash his cloths as if he is your boyfriend.
And just as you know,my wife is perfect.....she cannot ask me to wash my cloths,she cannot come online to call me slow,she cannot come online to advertise her self how she takes care of everything at home and axpect me to worship her...that's what your friend does.
Just you know,you jump in here cos i never quotes you anywhere,i quoted the op but since you has a running tap called mouth and a very bad upbringing,you don't know how to maintain your lane.



Passing shot��,my wife never imposed pregnancy on me as yardstick to keep her as wife.



Go get a life.



Respect your man or get ready to move like herdsman.

Which worth? I don't think you are worth much tbh and that's why you found yourself in a toxic situation.

You're already damaged goods and no man will marry you after you divorce this your "friend".. you know why? because:
1. Your attitude stinks.
2. You are so dumb and insecure that you brought an innocent soul into this world with a man you were not in a relationship with, just to prove something to yourself lipsrsealed
3. You come with extra baggage (yes this kid you bore for your "friend" is extra baggage for any quality bachelor out there).

So, instead of disturbing us on Nairaland, why not get up and leave the marriage since you don't "need" him. You rude, uncouth thing! Now that you've proven to your pathetic self that you can have a child, take your child and leave!
May God bless you,have told her same here.....she's not wife material,too rude and disrespectful to be a wife.

Thank you and your opinion has been noted.

Just a simple question, would you wish your daughter to be the breadwinner of s home were the man is not jobless and earns better thsn her and also be burden with all the responsibilities of the home.

How can s grown man in this century be trapped into marriage with pregnancy, there are thousands of baby msms out there.

I'm a terrible woman and human being, what is stopping him from leaving.

Thank you so much.
You better look inward....go to your husband and ask him why he has changed..
If there is anything you have done or doing wrong he should tell you and that you are ready to change.
And when next he is angry with you be calm and quiet,whether you are at fault or not........wait when he is calm,go to him and peacefully tell him "Dear,you know you were at fault but cos i am ur wife and i want this marriage to work that's y i was silent"
Stop exchanging words with him like ur mate.
Stop emphasising how you are the bread winner of the family.
Stop calling him slow.


Don't talk when he's talking.


The single mothers with pride and those who have not even tested marriage advising you to leave the marriage will not provide another man for you....infact that's when you will see different size dickson,you will regret your decision.



Drop your pride..
Drop your so called "worth"
And as someone mentioned earlier,you talk too much.

There are well established ladies out there looking for a man to take care of...many people here can testify to that....
What have you don| for him to think is too much?
My dear,the bible times are here...when 7 women will get hold of one man,begging to just answer his name while taking care of their selves.
Be wise...maybe this is where the problem is coming from....that he's not contributing.
