i love this phrase.....i don't want to divoice!, YOUR MARRIAGE CAN WORK, IF YOU BELIEVE IN PRAYERS CONSIDER IT SOLVED ,MARRAIGE IS NOT EASY BUT GOD ON YOUR SIDE YOU CAN BE HAPPY. first, (1) call him and talk to him just express your mind and made your points known in peaceful manner. (2) examine yourself and check your short coming no body is perfect & amend if any (3) reason with him on the issue of child caring if possible let him suggest alternative (4) make yourself happy do not die because of marriage or man. learn to ignore and move on (5) make him your best friend who knows he needs more attendation ,note some women are more mature than men you can win him over (6) for get the passed (7) do not use his native consultation issue to attack him rather pray for him APPLY ALL THESE YOU WILL SEE BIG CHANGE IN HIM |

Go to the author of marriagewith your issue sis. He will help you. His name is Yaweh! Nobody can give you any advice that will help you except Jesus. People will think this is a crazy idea but it is the best. God is the author of peace. Go to him! Vevejoy: |

his reacton seems not to be merely about the fact that you said it is your MOm that would come but to other issues ffrom the past. You said you talk a lot and this may be part of the issues as in your talking you may have said some hurtful things. Now that said your man has his issues no doubt , his religious beliefs are not in sync with yours and that comes with friction. those are differences that ought to have ben ironed out before marriage but mayb you can still iron out. you said things have been alright on and off since you both had a talk, so it seems that you both dont want to walk away. So maybe more talking is necessary and rather than just saying i will domy best to make this work, you should both talk about specific conduct that should stop or that annoys the other and let the other judge frankly the level of progress for each pmerson. this thing we calll marriage is not always smooth how we deal with the difficult times can define us. remember smooth seas dont make skillful sailors. wish you the best.

bareal:So, when you see someone that is calm, do they talk too much?... When you are told that someone is calm, what comes to your mind?. Please move on, words can be inter used. |

Vevejoy:Dear Op, this is so long, I feel your pain and I'm glad you are able to express your feelings. I understand your anxiety about having a second child immediately most especially after struggling to have the first. trying for a child in itself is emotionally draining and could be cost-intensive depending on your location. Your husband might not yet recover from the emotional stress of the first one, so just let him relax. I also understand ur anxiety might be from the perspective of age not being on ur side or you approaching menopause. but in all, please be calm and commit your heart desires to God. Good thing you still do have regular sex, in some marriages resentment might av set in and sex wouldn't happen. And its okay to want a second child even if you regret ur marriage at the moment. God forbid, if the marriage doesn't work on the long run, you have ur kids for same man rather than hopping around and you can concentrate on urself and kids. I will advice you try all methods and medications you used in conceiving the first except if it was thru IVF, then u require medical assistance which is emotionally draining in itself so understand your husband and just pet and pray with him. As regards child care, let the matter rest since he's paying the bills. Your baby will be fine. just ensure the childcare is licensed. I understand the peace of mind you have knowing your child is with a trusted adult but you know, let it go for peace to reign. Childcare is crazily expensive in Canada most esp Ontario and a child ur age will pay close to 1500cad per month and people are able to save by bringing in one of the moms to assist. The worst thing is you won't qualify for a child care subsidy if you have a household income of over $55,000. and that d part most people don't understand. Childcare benefit isn't relevant if you earn well as it's favourable to low-income earners. Also, you preferring your mom to come over is okay. Every lady feels free around their mom than MIL which could be due to vulnerability after childbirth, and usually, the moms take turns. However, it seems your husband doesn't feel free around your mum hence, his resistance. Yes, u might av a good relationship with his family but what is ur mums relationship to him? And why does he think you are dominating over him? do you always force your decisions over him? I would attribute, your nagging as a coping mechanism since you said you began nagging after the incidence. This feeling is valid and okay. You cant be living as couples and your partner is mute to ur discussions all in the name of avoiding trouble and you guys end up sweeping issues under the carpet without resolving them. And him getting physical 4 times in the last 6 yrs is a NO-NO. He should learn to keep his hands to himself and talk as an adult. You guys need a marriage counsellor before things get out of hand. Your benefits at work should cover this expense or pay from your pocket for your own sanity. Please seek for help. You need someone to vent to and express urself to. And stop reporting him to his mom/ third party, it's obvious they have no hold or he has no reference for them. Being emotionally abused is worse than physical abuse. You need to be in the right frame of mind to take care of your child before you start transferring aggression to the baby, God forbid. Please seek counselling.(Not church counselling o) Family service counselling will be better. As regards him being numb to ur feelings and not caring, please put a trusted friend on speed dial for emergencies. I just hope u don't fall into medical distress whereby you are groaning and moaning and he ignores you. Yorubas say " bi a ban ja kin see bi ka ku"... (meaning even if we are fighting it's not up to the level of death). Abeg, secure urself. You need a friend, preferably a disciplined female friend that will honour ur secrets but you can feel vulnerable with. meaning you can cry, talk and relieve pent up emotions without being judged. also, this person can pray along with you. it could be a sibling. you cant be an island, we always need a shoulder to lean on. As regards the native doctors, I'm assuming you knew he was into this stuff before you got married but you were less concerned due to reasons best known to you or you were hoping he would change. You cant change an adult, you can only tolerate. The bible says can two work together except they agree? and what relationship has light got to do with darkness? You guys are definitely not on same level faith wise and I'm scared his native doctors don't turn around to tell him you are after his life and he tries to kill you. He believes these people and will always act according to their instructions. This to me is very serious and deadly. In conclusion, please seek help from a specialist (a marriage counsellor). You husband has pent up issues that he needs to divulge to a counsellor. If things don't improve, you might need to separate for a while to give yourselves enough time and space away from each other to reevaluate your marriage. Please note that separation isn't the same as divorce. It's better to leave so you can live for your child. May the Lord guide you through this thing called marriage. Shalom!!! |

Magnoliaa:I do not defend nor side the man one bit. He has his own issues. But I can only talk to the wife and anything I say about he husband hold not water since he is not here to hear his of his own faulty behaviour. 1. One thing with marriage is that after you've made your choice amongst over 3billion eligible spouse, the responsibility of living with who you chose is entirely yours. 2. The consequence of your decisions is also yours to bear. People think that they can make a poor choice and then come around to repackage such a choice. From her own part, the honest bitter truth is that if she wants her family back, she has to make the sacrifices required. That is my advice to her! Unfortunately, even with this, there is no guarantee of any quick result. |

Since he doesnt want anyone but prefers the daycare, he should better pay for the day care. Secondly, that ur baby wakes up earlier than normal isn't suffering. He/she will make up the hours lost to sleep at the day care. Maybe u should just give him a break. I know some men can be laid backs. |
| Re: What Will You Do In A Marriage Like Mine? by samwillyco1(m): 2:18pm On Jan 20, 2021 |
Vevejoy:t The simple truth is that you have been having problems with him, which is unknown to you because he never told you, the point of who comes over to take care of the child is not the major issue, but he is now using it to tell you his mind. Although based on what you said, you husband got some wrong, even though your husband may have his own version of what the main problem is all about and not what you have written here, but this what you should do for sake of peace. Look back from the very first day he physically abused you, and you will find the main issue and fix the problem. Secondly stop nagging/ quarrelling him, focus on your daughter and another thing. Thirdly pretend to be dumb for some time, don't talk to him first but only replied to him whenever he talks to you and see him come back to you Finally when he comes back to you, first of all apologize to him ( forget about who is right or wrong ) and everything will start working normal again. May God help you and pray well to God, if you cannot join him on what he believes in. I wish you happy returned happy married life/home. Follow him to watch his favorite TV programs , football, wrestling, boxing, follow him on whichever one he prefers and enjoy your marriage like never before. |

It is not an easy journey to be with a man that doesn't listen to you. Talking a lot is just your temperament and shouldn't be used against you, you just need to work on yourself and focus on things that makes you happy. Don't give up on been nice to him, with time he will come around but if visiting native doctor is his lifestyle pls is either u pray him out or you leave in peace. |
| Re: What Will You Do In A Marriage Like Mine? by Tap0lane: 2:21pm On Jan 20, 2021 |
You probably can't own a functional brain to understand they both need to work to maintain their standard of living cos if you do then you will understand daycare abroad shouldn't be associated with strange environment, strange people n pain you portrayed. You can as well have the child not attend school cos of the strange teacher over there as well. I need not explain further who is with the foolish argument here, if you still can't decipher that I am not sorry I will not be able to help you further. Biglittlelois: |

He is displaying the typical African man entitlement mentality. It hurts so much the world always wants the woman to be at the receiving end no matter the circumstance. Endure and find happiness in your baby, when you stop nagging and don't send about his behavior, he'll come back to his senses. If you continue to be troubled you'll soon run into depression and I guess you know the rest. |

@ vevejoy. It's obvious your man is a c0ntrol freak. He would go to all lengths to feel in c0ntrol, and whatever he feels he can't c0ntrol, he attributes to the metaphysical, hence he believes in seeking the metaphysical to understand what he can't c0ntrol. And you being independent has a psychological effect on him. You seem like one quite educative and with s0mewhat philosophical view of things, so that scares him as he can't get you to reas0n the way he does. Him wanting to feel in c0ntrol, bec0mes scared of you. So there it is, do you want to be fully submissive, without an at0m of freewill in exchange for your marriage? Or be h0nest about the situati0n and who you are; the independent w0man who has a unique view of life? |

bareal:What stops you from telling her yourself? Or were you forbid from telling her yourself. I decided which word to use ok. So damn mind your business ok. I choose to use calm and that you can't change, so go use your own words please. You can't dictate to me what to say and what not to say. Please get busy and move on... I will cease to respond to you henceforth. |

Vevejoy:be prayerful and don't ever think because your opinion,religious practice are not the same,he's lost. You said from it from your writeup that you're married for six years now and I can state that he's not a kid....he knows how far he's come and what he's done to achieve that,you can't change that overnight...stop trying to be in control of the home. It works for some and it doesn't work for others...can't you see that the template of the marriage changed sine a third person has now involved?,you have to flow with it cos never going to be the same. Even if the doctor advised you people in bringing another child as early as possible,you still have to rely on you husband's decision to bring in child cos of financial constraints.... And e com be like say as you don born finish na him you com they stubborn and nagging every time...aunty you should be calming down ooo |

I don't get it,are u saying the woman should have asked who he would love to come? There's no debate in this in omugo it's the woman's mother's right,no debate,then the man's mother can opt to come see her grandchild later on,no one talked about how insensitive the man is,a man who's wife's tears doesn't move is heartless,poster pls don't let that man control ur happiness,u didn't do any bad at all,give your child all ur love overlook him and don't nag again..nairaland men support their men so much You would have simply asked him who he would like to have over and allow him throw the dice to your choice. Even if his mother comes, it is not an achievement.. As matter don be like this, just allow him some time. He will come around.[/quote] |
