I saw a long list of responses to your liberational outbursts but could only read a few. The moral of the story is: going beyond appearance. Twice you mentioned that your estranged wife was not 'a bad woman'. And although this is your side of the story, I could still figure out your 'manly' failures. Women are quite a funny fragile lot who needs to be governed when in a relationship. When you lose your 'leadership' role or play the victim they treat you like trash. No one on this forum can guarantee you a smoother relationship as you move on with another woman. On the contrary, your estranged wife may become 'humbled' as your fortune has changed for better. You did not mention if both of you attended the same church or worshipped the same God - this would have made a big difference. Your reason to leave her parents out of the feud is not tenable - there's a reason Africans have a strong inlaw affinity. Your wife must be nuts to go outside for sex while denying the same to you. The gravity of this adulterous attitude can only exonerate you if, in all honesty, you did not mess around within the period of litigation: we all make mistakes and fall into temptation. I might sound strange in my approach, but reconciliation is a sacrifice that does not come cheap! The future of your child is at stake for no fault of hers. If your wife is indignant and unrepentant, then it's no use going back to woe her. But if she shows guilt on the role she played, remember you were vindicated when God turned your fortune around. It's time to bring out the manhood in you, forgiveness is a virtue and not a weakness.

I never knew you were not married.

God please help me in my marriage, I don't want to experience all these stories I read on nairaland.

Build first your business before relationship or home. I didn't learn this early.

You are doing well bro.

My bro every man has a 3 months grace to get his shit together.

Life happens and most wives especially in a society like NG prefer to be married at least for appearance sake so for a woman to go from angel to witch ... it takes 3 months.

Now for better for better not worse ..... that statement does not supercede the man being an infidel or worse than an infidel when he cannot provide. They will be together but he will leave by himself when the fury of hell is brought on him.

No one is more resilient than women - she is programmed to carry a child for 9 months - but no matter how.much money she has..... for emphasis I will repeat no matter how much money she has - she is not programmed to shelter, feed or cloth a man least of all her husband.


See the bible said worse than an infidel - meaning he will be treated worse than an infidel.

Teach your sons how to make money. Let the girls go to school and let the boys learn to trade and go to school.

A man is practically useless in a family setting if he is not providing

Hian!!

Cold shivers ran down my spines as I read this.

I'm so not enthusiastic about marriage anymore.
same here mehn. I'm scared of it.

To me... Love is all about been rich. Its possible not to be loved when rich. But then its certain not to be loved if not rich. If you are not rich, then love is just a mirage. And when you are rich, even though you don't find true love, you can buy something that almost look like it. Something you can manage till it ever crosses your way

Me

Told my girlfriend to send me a certain amount of cash to my account, was at the hospital and having transfer/network difficulties and she did.
Later on in our conversation she asked me when we'll resume work again, maybe insinuating that I don't have the cash and wouldn't pay back.
Anyways, she did and when the network was through I sent it back Asap..

But that was a red flag for me and she started acting funny (I laugh). I'm taking my time and her behavior is not far from what this man complained about her wife.



My brother. Thesedays I've subjected all my friends and everyone around me to such test o. Once they fail, disconnect straight up. Life is short

My dear Lamanii22, never allow your head to believe that. That it didn't work for others doesn't mean it won't work for you. I'm not married yet but I will be and I will enjoy it.

Of course, these tales of marital issues we're seeing on Nairaland helps to put in perspective that marriage involves work. I will work for my marriage to work. There are no other options other than that I will marry and I will enjoy it.

Do have a nice day


Okay... Thank you very much... Marriage involves work. I will work for my marriage to work. I will be married. And I will enjoy it. Thanks again. God bless you

Hmmn, this sounds like fiction. I don't support divorce but if adultery is involved with evidences, then separation is advised. Biblically, either partners are expected not to marry again but you know in our present world, we read and act upside down.

Sometimes when i read stories like this i begin to wonder if i can tolerate such.

I'm the type that gets worried easily, and it makes me feel restless, I can think about it for days. Will I be able to tolerate such without going nuts?

That's why I always say that I believe in divorce, if I try my best and things are not working out, I'll let it go.

Most Nigerian women do this, they only marry cos they feel they need you to support them, once the table turns, you see the Jezebel in them...that is why men chase money nowadays, and only marry when established. No money no respect from Nigerian women,they dont like sex, they dont love, they just marry for convenience.

Such a sad story. Glad you are doing well.

See women are not good at paying a man's bills. We are not wired that way.

She starts seeing such a man as a child.

Once a man stops seeing the woman as his bread winner - the way will open for him like it opened for OP.

Young men get money! there is a financial clock for men.

OP, happy for you.


Your submission stinks to the high heavens. Didn't you read where he said he was also making his own little contributions. You ladies taught yourselves to be selfish. Trials come and go. You can possess the whole world and lose it in a second.
You ladies just need to use ur brains more often and know that life is not a bed of roses.

Its better you work extra hard towards making sure your son ends up as a rich man, because if not......hmmm
And pray hard that he outlives you

Money doesn’t fix all things. The wealthier his son gets, the more distant he would be. The son will have family and aspirations of his own. His old father would be left at the mercy of paid domestic help with no real affections for him.

That’s even if the son doesn’t grow up dysfunctional... and starts battling marital problems of his own.

Your wife was meant to be your help mate....

Seeing you through your trying times at least she had. Job,yeah it can be stressful sometimes with the pressure and all but then as your wife she should have been able to see the potentials in you...and keep going but then I guess she broke off along the line and became inpatient....

That's why it's important to marry who truly likes you that way when u fall they stick by you against all odds.
I can't believe such is coming from a lady. With this mentality, you will surely have a good home and may God give u a man worthy of u.

This is the second piece am reading from you on this matter. What God help you with is your experience. You are quite experienced.

No need for long story you've done well. However I have a question for you. Many inexperienced young dudes should have asked this. But I will help them.

tunmiluabi:


Defending yourself does not even help. The strength to write this note is my willingness to see beyond myself, there might be need for more insight. I know love is not one directional neither is it "multi-directional", it’s usually in the eye of the one looking at you. Love has no other name but LOVE. I might not be perfect but imperfection can still be unlearned by truly appreciating the situation. There is absolutely no reason to hurt anyone. I would believe that I failed to see her expectations through her lens and she failed to notice my sincere affections towards her. I might not be happy with the way things turned out but the situation has not made me any angrier. But it’s normal to be unhappy and I know that when I don’t mind being unhappy – It won’t last and eventually all will be alright and I hold same for her. Although, with all honesty, I did not see this happening, but I would like to know what our “stupidity” and “failure” has caused us. This will help if we finally move on with our lives. Given the situation, I believe I tried my best, but was not good enough. I am inspired by opportunities life has offer. I will channel my rage, drain and pain for a renewed future without my current dilemma. I am sure it will end in PRAISE. Thank you... there might not be need to tell it all. Life is like WIND it either blows in your favour or against.. Its your choice to stay strong. For those who might not understand that its not a struggle between the MAN the WOMAN, the only existential threat couples face is LIFE itself. But if you haven't been bitten in the face by a bear before, you will not appreciate how bad it is to loose ones identity. But on a happy happier note, if my heart is broken a million times, I will still love again There are good women out there. Its just a matter of time. Telling your story to defend yourself is a waste of time... At the appointed time the truth will unleash itself but not through me.

I have been married for 8 years and my question is, what have you learnt in marriage? What would you have done differently if you are given a chance to start all over again with your wife?
