Candanyl: No matter how innocuous a term seems, some people will use it to propagate their own selfish interests, that is what the concept of feminism is being for by some women, which is why it is important that those successful feminists you mentioned should lead by example and let the world know what they stand for. 8 Likes |

seunlayi:So what has that got to do with your prequel post? Why would you say you can settle for a woman who has seen countless men when obviously you can't settle for one that has seen only one- reason why you got yourself a virgin. Stop giving advice you cannot take. And if I may, do not bring up religious stuff when it is needless, besides, why do you think it's within the conversation to bring up your marital year? Oga I do not care. |

Ybaby: It seems you are ignorant that Cosmas Maduka was an "infidel" before he married Charity. Cosmas married charity at the age of 19 years when he had nothing, and they build their fortune together. Their company CosCharis (COSmas and CHARIty) is a testament that his wife was critical to his success. 6 Likes |

In everything i read the only thing i am happy for is that you were able to get a good life for yourself, now that grace as smiled at you face your work, and children and if you still have some love in you, you should move on. Be happy bro. |

nwaimoroseyaho: It false to suggest that it happens in Every marriage, it happens in lots of marriages, especially if the purpose of the marriage is material and financial. I have seen many marriages where the husband lost his job and the woman had to pick up the gauntlet to provide for the family until the man finds his feet. And you don't think it's also tiring and depressing for the only the man to working day and night to provide for his family. Marriage is not "happy ever after". Any man or woman that is not ready to suffer the vagaries and uncertainties of marriage should not marry and stick to baby mama and baby daddy. It good that you did not find financial solace somewhere else. I hope you also did not insult, disrespect and demean your husband at his most difficult period. If you did, he would have some grudge in his heart for the rest of his life, as he will feel you only married him for financial security. It's difficult to mend fences after such betrayals. How do you ment fences with someone that does not love you, but only after material gains. What happens if things get difficult again? 3 Likes |

PrimadonnaO: You can tell that to Westerners that introduced this Christianity to us. Where majority have had 2 to 3 marriages. Including there clerics and Pastors. No one is praying for divorce. But if unavoidably it happens like ops case. One can comfortably remarry. Even Baba God understands. Many evil people have used this no divorce issues to mess up the life of those they are married to because they can't divorce. Thereby tormenting the life of there fellow spouse. 1 Like |

PrimadonnaO: Even better than that is to try to keep the marriage intact by all means - as long as there's no physical abuse or violence. It's easier for women to go on without sex, but for a complete man ... Nah! This is just reality! 2 Likes 1 Share |

GlorifiedTunde: I agree. Somehow, I feel the option of a divorce and possible remarriage makes people careless with their choice of a spouse. Because that’s where the problem starts from. If people were more conscious about the fact that they are in for a FOREVER ride, they’ll choose their partners VERY CAREFULLY... and after that, put in utmost effort to see that the marriage works. 2 Likes |

Maduawuchukwu: Wasn't she with him all the while?.......Both of them endured the trying times together if you had read well.Not until temptations set in... In my opinon,if given a second time,I believe she would change. Anyways,He has the right to make decision on who to spend the rest of his life with....She was at fault,and doesnt deserve mercy in human eyes..However,whosoever that hasn't sin in one way or the other should stone her to death... Don't quote me concerning this issue anymore... |

yankeenowo: Maybe you are right, no doubt, I might have misread the situation. But do you think with 170K she would have been able to pay the rent of 950k/year and and still pay school fees for our child? I say no. We both had mutual contributions and projection. I fulfilled my part. I never failed. I would like to say before I got married, I might not have been doing so well, but I funded the marriage with my 3years of savings. That same business might not have been doing well but it had its times. Sometimes I will bring home 10k, 20k/month, although it might take some time to bring so much but when its good 2 to 3months apart I can bring about 200k.. for 6month I may go with very little. still, I was hopeful it would be better. During her earlier salary situation was not bad, probably because we were in a 1bed apartment and the pressure was less - Also, I was providing the much I could. As indicated in my earlier lines most of my income went into doing practically everything. She contributed immnesly as well. It only got really worse when the position came. The new apartment even took a lot out of us. I agreed to the move because I felt saving for the rent might not be a difficult thing to do. Till I left the apartment we never owed. Despite quarrels, I was still able help her with the transition to the new position. The transition was such that she had to be good at at staistics and business modeling for the new marketing Insight role. I trained her in SAS, advanced excel and Power BI before I left the house. Coupled with her natural brilliance she was able to secure it. What more could I have done. If I was lazy I would not have had time for that and would normally have told her to look else where. There were times when I would walk from iponri to fadeyi and back seeking clients going form shop to shop, office to office to secure client. That is not to say I did not use public transport. There were also time when I will call friends to help as well. If you read my threads well, I had my share of good contributions and support. I might not have met up of to her expectation. Some comment indicted I might have been weak. Maybe, but what I know is that, I am happy for the way handled the situation. It could have turned out terrible. I was hopeful things were going to change. That kept me going. You can't force a change on anyone. You can only do your part. I believe these things happens, it has happened to many people, I will not be first and the last, why fight a lost battle. I fought for my marriage the best I could. I might not have been so religious about it, but I did the best I could. I have fought many battles, I won some, I lost some. In this particular one I lost woefully. In one of the threads, someone indicated I might have cheated with another woman or even have left with another woman. I could have, I wish I did but I did not. I have the right mental strength to whistand the situation but maybe I lacks the right approach to deal with it. Its a pity our frustrations are different and problems are unique, just like the way we deal with them. I have no comment. I might not be a saint but I really do know what I want.

Holluwhakemmy: I am surprised by women with these mindset, it betrays faulty background, probably due to a disfunctional polygamous family. How can someone say men who succeed are the efficient few. Are you insinuating that the millions of men working or doing various businesses are failures or inefficient majority? Have you seen a jobless, unsuccessful and inefficient man go through all the expenses and rituals of marriage? Obviously most men marry when they are fairly financially stable and hope for a brighter future. But shit happens. A man falls and rises several times during his life time. It's a tragedy to marry a woman who would step on a man when his down instead of helping him in rising up. 5 Likes |
