FamilyRe: Do Wives Do This Or I Just Have A Bad One? by RiloKiley:
Acidosis:
No one can make me abandon my family, so I had to look closely before I choose my partner to avoid clashes & surprises.

About the insult, I personally won't take that. As regards those encouraging you to pamper her to avoid insults, they're only trying to be romantically theoretical. Do not accept such advice. A man or a woman with good manners, raised either from a bad or a good home, would never use such heavy words on her partner.

I don't know what to tell you since I have never dated such. However, you know your woman more than anyone here, so I think you need to do what's best for you.

Some women are psychologically allergic to romance and all the fairy novel tales on this thread. For a woman who feels total disgust and disrespect for her man, no amount of swimming, tennis, cinema, or shopping can permanently cure her. She needs to be threatened, or returned to her father's house to learn Basic Home Training.
You've said it all.

SexyStrawberry:
This is the more reason why I will never work for anyone as soon as I'm married, if my husband can't support me in opening up my own business, den I'll rather stay at home ( personally with or without his help, I'll find a way out on being my own boss) coz I can't answer sir to any man out there when my husband is there. As for the insults, it comes naturally as long as ur bleeping yourselves, U've known yourselves in and out, married or not, it only takes an exceptionally matured minded woman not to insult at the slightest provocation.
Seriously?
So it's perfectly normal for women to throw insults Eh?

FamilyRe: Good Women Exist by RiloKiley: 10:53am On Apr 06, 2016
edwife:
There is a huge difference.This is my understanding of a good person.

[b]"Are you a good person?," who do you think is more likely to say, "I'm good"? The good one or the evil one?
The evil one! He could kick his own mother in the stomach and still think he's good. You say, "That's terrible! How could you do such a thing?" He rationalizes and says, "You don't understand. She asked me to take out the garbage. If I do it, who knows what else she'll ask for next? This could go on forever!"

As for the good person, he takes out the garbage. But if you would then tell him, "I see you're a good person," he says, "No, I'm really not so good. Didn't you notice that while I was taking out the garbage I kicked my mother in the stomach?"
"What are you talking about? I was watching and you didn't kick your mother in the stomach!"
"Well, I didn't actually kick her. But I was grumbling as I carried out the garbage. I wanted my mother to feel bad. I was in the middle of a good book, and if I don't register my protest, who knows – she might ask me to do it again tomorrow!"
Do you see the difference? The evil person will always say he's right. He doesn't bother trying to be good, so he never feels a struggle. He just assumes he's good.

Whereas the person who really tries to be "good" knows how tough the job is. And he's always striving for a higher level.
There's a third type: The fully righteous person, the Tzaddik. He takes out the garbage and says, "It's my pleasure, Mom. You work so hard to take care of us. So thank you for the opportunity to express my appreciation!"[/b]


I am not good to people because i want something from them,it is a ridiculous thing to say. My parents,siblings are good to me for the person I am and represent in their lives and not for what they can get from me. So if your kid is disrespectful will it stop you from being a good mother or a good person to him? I might cut down his allowances,be strict about many things but i won't STOP being a good person.

It is either you are good,bad or evil.
cc byvan03
Well said! I could hug you!

Thinking that there are no good people... Well, that's just sad. A sad state of mind. I have met people that are good just for the sake of it. Not because they want to gain anything from it. It's their nature, pure and simple.
FamilyRe: How Does It Happen In Your Home, Is Your Marriage This Messed Up? by RiloKiley: 7:48am On Apr 05, 2016
allycat:
My advice is for you to take your mind off sex for a short while and get to know each other again. Maybe she feels all you want from her is sex. Take her out alone without the kids sometimes, for a movie or for dinner take a bat with her wit out inai sting it ends with sex. Play scrabble or whatever game the two of you once enjoyed. Talk to her, if she doesn't come to bed go and meet her and join her in whatever she is doing even if she says it's OK. Become her boyfriend again. Sometimes we get caught up in our roles as parents and forget our spouses matter. Sometimes it's small resentments that build up and snowball into big things.
Then again if your last child is less than two consider post part depression, it can turn the bubbles and most fun woman into a ghost of herself. Everything around them becomes hopeless and they cannot explain to themselves what's more to another person why they are acting the way they do.
Good luck!
Op this is another sound advice. You can try this and mine and see what comes of it.

ANANABA000:
Thanks for all the many admonition Guys.
You're all so very awesome.

However, we're missing out a few things here.
I never mentioned that I cheated anywhere in my post, neither was I caught doing that.
I give my kids all the attention they deserve and they love and appreciate me.
Of course I'm not a saint, but I'm better than 80% of Guys in my age range And in same situation.

It's odd to have a woman of the house act the way mine does and I doubt that it's due to hormonal changes.
I unfortunately have the responsibility of living with a woman who still walks the streets in tight jean trousers after two kids.
I've never met her mother after 5 years of wedlock all thanks to her parent's divorce some 20 something years ago.

You know, that category of women, who believe they still have "something to give to society" not just hubby.
Those who invest in sexy pants and lingerie yet don't have the urge for sex with hubby.

That category of women who spend all their time outdoors, while a nanny does all the hard work and have nothing to show for all the wasted time.
That category of women who leave home at 7am and return at 8pm yet their kids look like orphans.

How I got into this?
After two heartbreaks from two relationships. One due to genotype mismatch, the other due to not having family consent. I spun into action to salvage my situation.
I courted for 9 months, I was desperate to have kids then.
I had a string of girls and she was just one of them.

Apparently, she was the one who was desperate enough to endure being a foot mat.
It was all about the baby not the Mama.
I pushed and kicked, I bad mouthed and cursed but she stayed until the pregnancy came and that made me think twice.
Five years down the line I have a home I wish will break.
You need to really imagine my situation to understand what I'm going through.
I wonder why people find it hard to give it up when it's not yielding the desired love as designed by God.
I wonder why I have to live with trying for a happy home for the rest of my useful life when it doesn't seem possible.

So I'm not asking for how to make it right, I'm asking for how to put an end to this marriage.
I'm sure we have experts in the house including experienced members who know how to end a union.
I feel your pain bro. But what can you do? You are married you are married. E don happen.
In all this I haven't heard the part where you talked to her about this her behaviour, or maybe I missed it cos I haven't gone thru the rest of the thread.
Have u told her how her behaviour makes you feel? Does she know the extent to which her actions are making you uncomfortable? You will be surprised she hasn't the foggiest idea that you are this unhappy. She might see it all as being 'normal', after all, her parents were divorced for decades... She may not actually know how to treat a man.

You should try teaching her. At least you have nothing to lose since you are already considering a divorce.

By teaching her I mean putting your foot down on issues you dont like. Tell her you are not comfortable with her wearing jeans, that it disgusts you as the husband. Make a big deal out of it. You'll be stunned that she never saw it as big of a problem as you think. Insist she comes home early. Or call her to find out where she is. Put more effort into telling her what to do instead of sitting and sulking in silence. Insist on your way or no way. Many women may not admit this but they like an authority figure and this your wife needs you to teach her what a real family should be like since she has no experience of it due to her parents divorce.

As per the sex thing. It's a pity some women don't value the power of sex as much as they should. You see them exclaiming "is sex food? " meanwhile cheating with another woman is the most common reason for quarrels and separations in families. They will be quick to shift the blame on the man and make him feel guilty about sex instead of preferring a genial solution where both partners can benefit. I can't tell you how many years it took me to sort out the sexual issues in my home but thank God for patience and understanding. You Just have to be patient in that regards my brother. You have to make sex a conscious act. I know this might sound funny and unromantic to you but we r trying to find a solution here. If her attitude towards sex with you is one of disgust or despising it, then being spontaneous is out of the question. Sulking and waiting weeks until you can no longer hold in the urge to have sex will frustrate the life out of you, trust me on that. That frustration is probably a major factor why u want the breakup. Don't let it get to that point. Let her know you have needs and these needs should be met 3 times a week (for example). I know it sounds cold and unromantic but you are already having cold and unromantic served you so you have nothing to lose. Setting a timetable will serve two purposes: it will ease the sexual tension off you and it will make your wife prepare mentally for sex. It might start out cold and uninteresting but the more you do something the better you get at it. Practice makes perfect and before you know it she'll get better at the sex thing.



Whew! Didn't think I would write all this. You are not alone in your experience bro. If she's a decent responsible woman who is not blatantly cheating on you then it's most likely you can make this work. And if it doesn't work you at least have the benefit of saying "I tried all I could."

Cheers.

cionon:
Where was it mentioned me and the neigbhour talked of juju? U pple shiuldnnot remix the version nau. Read and understand.
Nobody talked of juju with me. She was only telling me what she did to conceive. What my husband can take to boost our chances of conceiving. And I sawntge local thing as a risk to my husband's health and told her i dont want to be a widow.

If you had read through the thread, you will see I didn't gossip. I mean do I need to keep repeating how it went. I don't even tell of my marital issues to friends. I have been battling separation since and my best friend just knew of this on Tuesday and was surprised. Cos her first question was you can't just go through divorce you both must have been having issues
You don't need to answer everybody.
The issue with putting your problems on a faceless and free forum is that everyone gets to advice you. Responsible and irresponsible people, businessmen, doctors, truckpushers, jokers, immoral people, children, single moms, divorcees, drunkards. Your duty is to sieve the chaff from the seed and take the good advice.

My take.
The man doesn't love you. He never did. You probably knew this and only stayed with him out of desperation or maybe financial /status reasons.

You say you have already left the house. That's too bad. But I think you should move on. Stop thinking its because you opened up to him. From your story it's obvious he would have found any reason to leave you. Telling him about what your friend said about herbs is not enough for him to want to throw you out. He's just using it as an excuse.
I think you are in the denial phase of this situation. You don't want to believe this has finally happened to you. I think you should start by facing the reality that he has left you for the woman he really loves even before you were married. It's good you said you have a job, immerse yourself in the job. Derive your joy from doing your job better and improving your personal life. Pray for him if you want bit more importantly pray more e for yourself and believe God that all things will work out for good. Stay positive like some people have said here.

If he is really the one for you he will realise his errors and come back/call you back. If not then for goodness sake move on and know you will find a better person.

Cheers.

FamilyRe: Don't Delay Pregnancy: D'oh! by RiloKiley: 7:37am On Mar 26, 2016
zaynie:
It costs like $10,000-12000(N2m) to freeze eggs and $500-800 for subsequent years.
That is cheap for a serious 'career' woman.
This is someone that owns her own house, her state of art car, has more than enough in her account, earns like N2m monthly.
We are talking about your typical high profile, money hustling, target driven,super focused boss lady here.
Heck! You men buy cars that cost more than that.


Picture this:
A young lady in her early 20s has to make a choice between getting married and starting a family or going for this Graduate Trainee job. She goes for the job, gets thru and is paid like 200k monthly.
She's single and earning that. The job is time consuming and exhausting. It doesnt give her any chance to meet guys and the few times she hooks up, she can't follow through. Soon she is 30. She knows there is a clock ticking somewhere and she longs to have a family.
She talks to her Gyne and he tells her about this freezing of eggs that costs N2m. Even if it means saving up for it. She does.
Fast forward to 40. Fast forward to a full blown 'career woman'. No husband, No marriage. Tell me she won't remember her frozen eggs somewhere.
Some women will even take loan from their workplace to freeze the eggs and pay back over time.

@Crackhaus, do you mean a single supposedly smart woman with a good job or a thriving business will work for 10 good years and not be able to afford N2m?
Haba!


Dont get me wrong, I am very pro-marriage. But if a girl wants to hustle....good for her!
In the light of recent economic changes I would say your financial figures are wrong. But all in all you have a good idea of the process. One or two things though.

@bolded, not many ladies can afford said amount. And even if they could I think they would be better off using the money for more important endeavors like acquiring land, building houses, setting up businesses, etc. Why go through all the stress of freezing your eggs when you're not even sure what the future holds for u? How hard is it to get a man to love and marry u and give u kids (lol) than having to rely on a technology that in many ways has not been perfected? And where r u freezing the eggs? Our nigeria? For 10yrs? With our Peculiar conditions? Hmmmm.

All in all I still think the natural process is still the best (and cheapest) way to go.


P. S for those trying to compare the deterioration rates of male and female reproductive cells. Female cells deteriorate faster and ovaries are far more fewer than sperm. Laughably so. It's just the way it is.

Why do u think women freeze their eggs can u explain why if against my write up?
You only release one egg per cycle. No matter how much blood is shed during menses. It's very very rare for a woman to release more than one egg in a cycle unless she takes certain fertility drugs.

Every other thing u said is more or less correct.

ANANABA000:
Wow!

Thanks for all the many comments and advice.
Contrary to what most of you Guys think though, I've not done anything that warrants this treatment.
Exhaustion is out of the possible causes because there's a house help that does all the hard work in the house.

Communication takes two to work, I've done my part in so many different ways.
From text messages to Whats app and BBM chat,late night discussion and even third party involvement.

I've threatened to bring in competition with a second Wife, I've threatened separation and all the other different methods you can think of.
She's young at 31 and married to me on a 7 year age difference.

We agreed to have two kids during courtship but other birth control methods between spouses should be considered instead of the condom.
On MouthAction, I wonder how many ladies on here have ever got a tongue lick down there.
If there's no reason for this behaviour then it means she is frigid (doesnt like sex).
Has she always been like this? Did it all start after the birth of her first child? Your answer will determine the next step u should take.
FamilyHer Blood Is Not On My Hands by RiloKiley(op): 1:02pm On Mar 24, 2016
A colleague sent this to me. Just wondering what we think.

"Her Blood Is Not On My Hands"- The Travails Of A Nigerian Medical Doctor (MuSt read)

I own a hospital in Southwest- (not Osun state Nigeria ...lol). I currently have about 17 patients on my ward each of whom I have admitted at several occasions through emergency. None of these patients has paid upto 30% of his/her bill. Some of them have stayed upto 7 weeks on the ward. I admitted and attended to them based on the fact that their conditions were life-threatening as at the time they came. I made their bill known to them - and they signed before they were treated. But there is a common trend, as soon as they felt relief and became stable they pleaded for their bills to be reduced - this I vehemently refused.

About 4 weeks ago a woman was rushed in with Eclampsia having just convulsed while pregnant and she was unconscious. I promptly took her straight to the theatre without collecting a dime though i had informed the relatives of the charges - #120,000 for her operation and medications. They signed and I carried out the surgery succesfully. Mother and baby survived. Within the following 6-days they paid a total sum of #12,000 and they began pleading to go home for the child's christening ceremony. I looked at them with disdain. Till now, they have only managed to pay a total sum of #14,000. 

Another man who was managed for strangulated hernia has only paid 20,000 out of 75,000 bill. And the list goes on. Their failure to pay has made it difficult for the hospital to replace consumables and medications needed to manage other people's condition.

In the early hours of today 1:30am, a woman was rushed into the hospital following delivery at the referrral center. Blood had refused to stop gushing out. I did a quick assesment and realised she would need more materials than the hospital pharmacy currently had in store. I could have my staff get from a nearby pharmacy too. However, the husband said he had no money on him and so did the numerous relatives that accompanied. It was indeed a familiar pattern. I decided to let them go. I referred her to a government hospital. Ofcourse they pleaded for me to help but there was nothing I could do. Few minutes after they left - just few metres from my hospital gate, she collapsed. She had lost a lot of blood. I rushed there and rigorously tried resuscitating her right there outside the hospital 2am early morning, but all efforts proved abortive. A young woman of 28years had just died after having her first baby. Screams, wails, cries ensued. I felt bad - this is not why i became a doctor. But her blood is not on my hands. 

Her blood is on the hands and heads of all the patients on the ward who can afford to pay but refused to - on the grounds that - "What will they do? Her blood is on the hands and heads of the government officials past and present who have made it difficult and impossible for workers to get paid for their work. But the government officials are not the target of this my narrative. It is aimed at those who take hospital healthcare and medical doctors for granted. Those (including myself) who emphasise that doctors should not put money first before treating emergency conditions. In emergency cases, relatives would go to any length through any struggle to get money. As soon as the situation becomes calm, they relax and then they refuse to pay. 

Last year a distant relative of mine was delivered of her baby via Caesearian section (in a hospital in Lagos- not mine). They were billed #180,000 which they accepted before the operation. After the surgery, her husband called me and asked how much I charge and i told him. He then began pleading with the management of the said hospital to review his bill. They declined. The husband being who he is, paid #120,000 and absconded with his wife and his newly born son. How he did this, I do not know, but i know that at the christening ceremony a week later, he had two cows slaughtered to celebrate the birth of his first son. 

Many times we complain of doctors who ask for charges before treating patients but no one has ever bothered to ask the doctors why they do? Doctors are humans too, we need to pay bills. This is our trade, our profession, our means of livelihood. We have needs too. We can not go to the market place with the ID showing that we're doctors and hope to get food items on credit. We need to pay our children's school fees, we need clothes , shelter etc just as you. Everywhere in the world healthcare is expensive, both services and materials are exepensive. Well we understand that you may not have money. The government should find a way. The government should find a way/policy that ensures that we get our money back after we have rendered our service. In the UK there is the National Health Scheme, in the United states they have health insurance schemes too in addition to Medicare, Medicaid. In Nigeria we have the barely effective, poorly regulated and massively corrupt National Health Insurance Scheme. 

Well i have decided to change the modus operandi of my institution. The previous one has not benefitted anybody. Henceforth if any one comes to my emergency room without a dime. I will not attend to. If such a person dies, the blood is not on my hands, its on the hands of those who have received treatment in the past and failed to pay afterwards.

FamilyRe: good and fine by RiloKiley: 12:26pm On Mar 24, 2016
Ujoan:
OF course, most men would act like they are all better than women . . . . if we let them!

I don't just sound like a troublesome woman, I AM a troublesome woman. I don't lay back and let men like you ride all over men . . . not when I know my worth as a person and as a human being.

I mean, here you are defending OP's husband and proudly comparing yourself to him. When you should be cautioning him and hiding your head in shame for your past mistakes.

Only a selfish man would 'not know it's a problem' not to call his family when he's far away from home. That's the point I'm trying to make, and I rest my case . . .
Does your husband act like he is better than you? I don't do that. There's no reason for the comparison here which makes me think you have a deep-seated background issue u want to address. If u think the men in your life are acting like they are better than you then u need to show them that they are wrong. Not by being troublesome but by taking action and making great achievements. Inferiority complex is in your mind, no one can make u feel less of yourself unless u let them!

Kudos on being a troublesome woman. I'm a gentle fellow myself, at least that's what others tell me. I do my best to treat ladies with the courtesy and respect that they deserve. A true gentleman doesn't walk over ladies.

My not calling home is a habit I learnt right from my university days. My parents and friends complained often of my apparent lacadaisical attitude but eventually chalked it up to nature. It was my wife who taught me to make calls home more frequently. There was no ego or god complex involved. It just simply wasn't my thing. Even now I have to set an e-note to remind me to call home smiley

The best way to solve problems like this is to talk it out and make the other partner see how important it is to you. If ur spouse loves you(and to avoid wahala) he will change like am sure Op's husband is going to change after this episode.

Nothing to be ashamed about, everyone makes mistakes. We only have to acknowledge these mistakes and learn from it to become better people.
Cheers.
