I am old school, and I feel no fucking remorse for beating my wife..that's the reason why our mothers get respect and high regards for our fathers.. we want dey copy white man for everything. Na the reason for all these divorce. The truth is black man is created to be aggressive in nature.

Hmmmmmmmm
Even though you are right, the society really frown against a man separating from a woman apart from the excuse of infidelity. They will mock you that you are not man 3enough and not in charge of your home. That is the major reason most men stay in toxic marriages.
And just like most women, instead of them quitting an abusive marriage, they will start flirting with their bestie or a man on line and sleep with them. I guess it is a human thing.
Ever heard of a popular saying about women - A shoulder to cry on is a dick to ride on
So much wisdom..hmmmm

One can if you one got some to spare, not last kobo or money not in excess
yes what I mean is impressing a woman in a relationship is bad business, I give random girl that genuinely needs help 20k,10k 5k nothing attached.

And it's only if I feel like.

My issue is with entitlement mentality, you came to marry me you must provide food for me, give me money, buy latest clothes for me, I suppose to drive car now.

I don't entertain such because it will only end in tears.


As a man

Provide food to the best of your ability

Buy your wife clothes to the best of your ability

Give her money, only what you can afford

Don't take your wife as an investment, so you don't cry later.

Women can be deceived anytime to leave you either by friends or family especially if you are still trying to make it like op.

It's no longer a story that pastors divorce their partners, imams divorce their partners, highly educated people do same and even the so called marriage counsellors are not left out in the order of the day and it has always been a thing of worry for me with the thought that they never loved each other before marriage but getting married has changed my thinking and has made me realised that marriage only takes the grace of God to work out.

I have been married for 3 years with 1 beautiful daughter with a loving wife (maybe before and some years into the marriage). I have always believed that I cannever raise my hand on my woman since my father never did such but I find it hard to believe I did the unimaginable today although It wasn't intentional.

It was due to annoyance after she asked me to stop sitting at home and go work for more money like other men even though I am a federal worker with above 100k monthly income and still do personal work as a civil engineer apart from the federal job despite the lockdown.....

It really got me aggravated because I have been the one fending for the family and the kid for the past 3 years and never asked for a kobo from her.....

Although I have noticed the urge for very flamboyant life style in her lately and has even asked me to get more money at any means, that money is everything in this life even though I have tried telling her its a gradual process, she still doesn't listen and even asked me to raise money for her to travel out of Nigeria.

I have never thought of raising my hands on any woman let alone my wife.....

Please how do I change her sudden mentality towards this sudden extravagant life style because I pray it doesn't lead to something else since I can't do illegal things to acquire the type of wealth she dreams of?
to those tellinq the woman to qo work her arse'off to secure her own money, if she does start workinq really, starts makinq her damn money, and channels her money completely into her flamboyant lifestyle, the husband won't be oh'kay with it no doubt! He would want her to contribute siqnificantly to the family in terms of money, and should the husband brinq that issue here, most here sinqinq the tune of her workinq and chanellinq the money realized into her flamboyant lifestyle, neqlectinq other aspects, would sinq another tune!

tellinq her to fund her flamboyant lifestyle alone by workinq seems parochial, buhh rather, the husband should handle this issue with circumspect finesse, and adroit diplomacy, in such a way that, even when she starts makinq her own money, she won't channel it to qrandiloquence or flamboyancy,buhh would rather channel it willinqly into the family needs to ease'off burden from the husband to an extent, save'up, and invest money with sense!

It's no longer a story..
There's an external person in her life now that she trusts more than you and she wishes you live up to this new standard set by this stranger(s) cos she's slipping off and she's hoping her newfound life you could meet up magically.

Now be watchful you will discover this.. Take steps maybe you can still salvage her else be prepared for the worst because she never starts she's just about to...

Make ur wife understand life is more real than flamboyance n social media fake life. If she still doesn't see things clearly, then it's a toxic relationship which isn't good for ur health. Bro, ur happiness and peace ain't negotiable. GOD bless you sir.

You don F-up. Raising your hands on any woman talkless your wife has degraded you. That's the bitter truth.

Back to the main issue. Your wife needs your unreserved apology. You need remorseful which is through your attitude. Let her know you are deeply sorry.

To her, is she not working? Why have you refused to set her up in a biz? One problem I have realized in today's marriage is, finance. It's really creating a lot of issues in most marriage. As a man, if you earn from three sources, declare only two. Let her know how the money is spent to the last kobo. That was the initial problem, you need to fix that part asap
YOUR BRAIN HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THATS IF YOU HAVE ONE AT ALL

Broke man ,broke man if her father is not broke will she be totally dependent on you.

How old is she?

Is she educated?

Does she have a job?

Is the other sisters married and doing well than you people?

Is she from a wealthy home, like she is used to comfort already?

Which state do you reside?

See you cannot satisfy greed, your wife is a greedy person. How can your wife ask you to look for money for her to travel out then you feel you have a wife.

Work on your emotions don't allow the term wife to make you try to impress, if you put yourself in unnecessary pressure to make money and die before your burial another man will already be sleeping with her. She is the money type.

Tell people the truth and let them know their worth, I once told my fiancee I am not your responsibility, if you can't survive quit.

Don't regret beating her, though I don't subscribe to that.
HOW CAN I LIKE YOUR COMMENT TWICE?

Just try to keep the trash to yourself and keep shut that ur smelling mouth there. Don't you read what he wrote up there? or are you an illiterate? A woman that is pressurizing her man to raise cash for her travelling abroad, had definitely been mingling with friends. She knows her man's worth before settling with him, then why the flamboyant feelings? Not that he's stingy, but someone has changed her mentality.

travelland:
It's good know that you work but if you're generous with her and your kid she won't insist that you should hustle for more. I don't want to believe that she's a wicked person as you paint her to be. It's because you're not giving enough and she's probably finding it hard to continue keeping quiet. Most women want their husbands around the house not outdoors all the time unless he's not doing enough financially. Let her also work to cater for her needs too but if you're the stingy type also try adjusting. Stop cautioning with your hands, she's not a Goat

Skepticus:
When you tell men to completely abandon marriage/dating and go their own way when they CAN'T find a woman that meets 90% of marriage material, they'll start screaming INCEL. The kids these men seek can be gotten outside the rigid confines of the business contract called marriage.

Then, they go ahead to lower their standards in picking these women, ending up marrying the worst of women and enabling their bad behaviour.
You are right bro, completely right

Chiomsies:
Oga,being a real man entails self control, all women are the same o they have power in the mouth and most times don't mean what they say,you should never have raised your hand on a woman,wife or not. That said, please apologize to your wife and have a talk with her,fighting gets you no where and don't be deceived that a another wife will do better.
Please don't lay your hands on. Any woman ever again
Then she should learn how to talk like a human being w emotions that knws her words can be hurtful otherwise I love d beating spree & it shuld continue 4 as long as possible

She's possibly changed her friendship clique and has started listening to someone/ group of persons.
You need to speak to her gently and inform her about the consequences of her decision.

while you have a point, any man that wants to start a family with me, should promise to provide for and protect him while i nuture him and the family.

Part of provision is at least yearly trips abroad and enough funds to ensure a lasting legacy for his children.

That's not too much to ask for, or are you that mediocre.
Nne & where re u in d equation or are u not a human being with d same no of hands & legs like d manhuh Y is it that women in relationship always feel entitled t be taken care of when both of u feel in love & took a decision t start a family, then out of nowhere d man is t work & then urs is t eat right? Madam, go & work & provide 4 d family.. In d animal kingdom is d lion & in most times lioness that hunt 4 food together as a pride(family), don't sit ur ass down like a toddler & wait t be fed like a quote & unquote "Queen" DAT obviously u re(sarcastic). A lot of all this stems from the lies that women are fed with that they are "Special" & should be treated as queen when in all honesty they aren't special anymore like a chocolate!

[quote author=koyyess post=89778087]Why will you bring your marriage issue to a forum like this, filled with agberos that lack simple home training plus self discipline/control?

Don't you know 99.9% of entities in this forum are from disfunctional homes?

I pity you oo.

If I were your wife and you slapped me, my respect for you will go down to 0%.

There are many ways you can stop your wife from nagging without resorting to violence. Only Apes use violence as a problem solver when they can no longer make use of their brains.

If you want to take advices from unstable entities here who can't even attract a decent girl or build a decent home be prepared to die young.

Good luck.[/timers



Seriously, madam go & sit down, is ur kind d op is talkinf abut... Learn t shape ur mouth when talking t a human being if u don't want t be battered.. I don't need ur respect when u clearly don't need mine 2

Verbal abuse against men = Battering & Domestic violence against women
Until they take verbal / emotional abuse as serious & same thing as domestic abuse, Let d battering continue buh hey I advise strong restraint when possible!
