That was his imperfection, except that, dude was a great guy, he loved me a great deal but that his anger thing was what I couldn't deal with, he was obsessed, I mean dude even fought men that looked at me, that was how bad it was..

There are so many things that makes one great in a relationship, he loved me with care, was scared to lose me thereby over protection..

One thing that turns me on in my relationship is when my partner trusts and owns me
It makes me fly, dammnit

I just couldn't stand the toxic part, he became abusive, I couldn't say hi to men, I couldn't even talk/chat with men and he couldn't stand me smiling and laughing with others while I frown at him, it makes him feel like he should kill me grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy

From all indication, you were cheating

Why romancing with other men while you were married

In as much as the man is wrong for beating his wife in front of the kids. The woman still stand on what she vowed for at the alter.

BTW will you marry her if she divorce the husband?

1. Is the husband upholding his own vows?
2. If no 1 marries her after she leaves an abusive marriage that could leas to death, do you think it should be so worrisome?

That again is not correct, no matter the reason bottom line is the victim stays so it doesn't change anything.The ones you want to praise based on race can even stay just because of Coke or booze ,I guess that is the superior mentality you want to buy into, right?
You are wide off off the mark.
Let me come down.......Abuse on women happens everywhere but because of our tradition or culture or whatever we call it we intend to endure almost till death.

Away from us...they simply walk away...and give themselves "separated' title and still remain friends.

For us here, the word Divorcee/separated is something we have not fully gotten used to.

At the bolded, wrong submission....I told you I don't judge..I am not in a position to say it is right or wrong. I just hope I don't get into the position where I have to make those kind of tough decisions.

This my next door neighbor, her husband is always beating her even in front of their kids. It has become a norm for her to receive beating two to three times weekly, he beats her and sometimes locks her outside with her two kids.

Most of the beating always happens when she asks him money for food, this her husband is rich always driving around with small girls in his car. When I ask her to leave, she would say no that she doesn't want her marriage to break up. I wonder what she is protecting. The type of abuses I am seeing, domestic violence is a norm, cheating is a norm.

Nigeria marriages are scary.
I am moving to a new apartment, just if my neighbor's husband ends up killing her, I don't want to be interrogated for murder.

My question is nobody want a broken home and some women will do everything to make their marriage work,some stay because of their children and some because of what the society will think of them.Bottom line am not in support of toxic marriage because marriage is meant to be enjoy not to be endure.

BluntTheApostle:


Both men and women endure abuses in marriages?

And the reasons can be many, and specific rather than general.

For example, I was not married but I endured abuses from my girlfriend for 4 years while I was in school. She was excessively jealous, rude, mannerless, narcissistic and sometimes violent. Her violence was not so much that she sometimes hit me, it was that sort of violence that involved breaking up things.

So, why did I not leave?

I did not leave because the me that entered into that relationship had been remodeled to a weakling. Constant nagging and abuses had lowered my self-esteem to the extent that I began to doubt if I could live without my abuser. Of course, that was what the abuser wants. To make you helpless so that they can put themselves over you.

That is why they make sure they drive your friends away, condemn your taste, your choices in life. They will criticize your sense of fashion, your type of friends, until you begin to depend on them to select for you the people whom you should befriend and whom you should not befriend, they make sure you wear only what they like. Anytime you try to object and they sense that they are losing their control over your lives, they would throw tantrums, and if you are a gentleman like I was, you will quickly do what they want. In other words, you have no freedom to decide your own life, to chart your own path. Hearing a "no" from you reminds them of their insecurities.

An abuser will also put you down until your self esteem is zero. They can tell you that you are not beautiful enough or handsome enough for them. They can tell you that thousands of women or men are out there begging them to leave you but because they love you, they have rejected the advances. They can even exaggerate the number of their daily toasters to make you cherish them more because they have made you scared of losing them.

Another thing the abuser does is to guilt trip you. Because the abuser has a low self-esteem, he cannot bring himself to accept his mistakes. He is always looking for someone to put all the blames on.

I gave a woman counseling many years ago. Her husband was cheating on her, and he was doing it to her face. But that was not what baffled me. What baffled me was the way the woman was struggling to take the blames for her husband's lack of class.

She was saying that, "It is my fault. I don't dress sexy for my husband, maybe I have to give him more doggy-style than I give him...bla bla bla."

That is what the abuser wants. As long as you take the blames for the abuser's mistakes, you will never think of leaving them. You will always blame yourself for their own mistakes.

My girlfriend was guilty of everything above. I was forced into doing her assignments for her because she would say, "why are we in a relationship if we can't help each other" then she would remind me of how she helped me when I was in a financial mess. Before you know it, I would be doing her assignments even if I have loads of other important things to do. Another of her line was "my friends always wonder what I saw in you".

That line stopped working when we graduated. With a first class degree in my pocket, the beast still wanted to rubbish my achievement by messing with my head.

It took the grace of God for me to leave. Before that time, I had attempted to leave many times, but somehow, she would find the words to make me sit down back. One of my own major problems was finance anyway. She was the one who had the more cash.












Our parental up bringing is a big problem too.
Must Nigerian parents beat/abuse their children while growing up so this trend becomes a normal thing in life when the get married,etc.

Most Nigerian parents also bring up their children as weaklings to enable them control them easily.

our educational system (Teachers flogging/punishing), has also reduced the self esteem of many Nigerians and that has also turned many Nigerians into weaklings.

Religion and society also encourage the weakling trend.

The truth is,respect everybody,but don't take nonsense from anyone.(Always know when they are about to start their nonsense)

Don't be tolerant with anybody.

Never be the small man.

Trust no body(No body is wishing you well in life)sadKnowing this changed my life)

Be nice to only those who are nice to you ad be very wicked to those who are wicked to you.

Never allow any one to abuse/victimize/or bring you self esteems down,deal with them brutally.

Never forget to make people know that you are a very tough/hard man.
(Never show them you soft side)


Always be rugged,
Don't be a gentleman till you get to heaven.

Our women has been so influenced to think the western idea of relationship is good yet they fail to see how the western society has failed , rampant divorce left and right. They say they are happy but it’s all facade of the bitter depth but sadly they propagate this on and on hence the western society is a failed state.

Our women get tempted to recreate the western shit while the westerners envies our society. Who told you your mom who endure her marriage is not happy. Endurance is a virtue

just few days or weeks ago on nairaland
..there was a survey that if your hubby /bf beats u but gives u around if I remember around 600 000 naira monthly will u stay.90% said they will collect beating + the money.some said they will save the money for sometime before leaving.u can imagine. so the truth is a greater reason is for pecuniary purposes while "what people will say"syndrome comes second

There are still people who even with the door wide open in so the called first world that choose to stay that is the point I am trying to make here. Domestic violence is still a thing in first world countries and not all victim still report it till it's too late.


And you are right, we as Nigerians only see a good woman as that woman that endures and takes all the bullshit even to the extent of putting her life on the line, in order words "struggle love " is the only real love in this part of the world.


I love my wife because she stands up for herself,is strong , follows her dreams and takes good care of herself said no Nigerian man ever it has to be the woman who supports him,tolerates him , sacrifices to take care of him and the kids and so on.


Lastly, no one wishes to be in such situations, abusive partners are usually good manipulators and gaslighters, coupled with society that expects the woman to embrace the struggle love,it's going to be tough.

You know I went to visit an Aunt and her friend came over ,her friend made a statement that made me raise my eye brows,she said;

"na manage we dey manage all this men jor,na who nor talk e own come out you go think say e dey rosy, just bear my sister".
.

That about sums it all up.
