Hmmm...what do you think about a situation where you run into a couple but they make out like they are strangers but go behind laughing out loud?...lol
NARRATIVE NUMBER ONE
DISRESPECTING AND RUNNING DOWN A SPOUSE' REP
Dear Stella,
May God's blessings never depart from you. And your family. Am an ardent reader of your blog, but rarely comment. I just enjoy reading and spreading the good news about your blog to anyone that gives me a listening hear
I did my traditional marriage in july 2014, after which I got called to re-shuffle a supermarket I once opened for a rich woman. Had to spend six months there, always sending my own little quota to my husband to buy properties needed in d house even though we still stay in the family house.
I noticed each time I come back after two weeks of absence, my husband secretly checks my wallet in my absence after which he won't bring out money for cooking until he makes sure that I don't have a dime with me. Since I came back, its from one quarrel to the other, reporting me to my aunt that he found out I once had more money in my account than he does, that I don't let him into my financial account.
The worst part is he keep tarnishing my image in the presence of his family, things I never noticed while courting him.
He even complains of me buying food outside even when there's is food at house, not minding that am pregnant. Am contemplating leaving the house, get a little capital to start something to take care of myself and my unborn child until he comes to his senses or for good. Please I need sincere advice from BVS.
Thanks
Phil

NARRATIVE NUMBER TWO
CALLING THE COPS ON AN ABUSIVE SERIAL CHEAT
Oh Wow!....you called the Police on him? I dont mean to be wicked but i think your marriage officially ended yesterday and your husband is in a lot of trouble.
They will ask you if you want to press charges or go ahead to do it on your behalf.
I know another blog visitor who is going through same and it has not been easy for her emotionally.
I dont know what else to say so let me sit down and read comments.
CALLING THE COPS ON AN ABUSIVE SERIAL CHEAT
Hello Stella I admire the work you do and may God bless you for it.
Right now I need the advice of fellow bv's and sorry my story is a bit long but will try to cut it short. We have 2 kids, met in 1998 and got married in 2010 so we have been together for 17 years.
Yesterday morning my husband fell asleep and with his phone in his hand. Before now I had been suspecting he was up to something and had playfully demanded his pin which he gave me but it wasn't the true one, so seeing the phone open was like xmas to me. On searching the phone I realised he was texting a girl when he slept off. Calling her all sorts of sweet names.
When I looked more I found texts from other girls and pictures with also a very active call log between him and a total of 7 girls in the past one week. I quickly sent the pictures and texts to my phone then confronted him. He said there was nothing to it that he was just messing about with them and swore he hadn't met any of them them. One even said he should come and pick her up to his place and he replied he was on his way.
I asked him if there were any issues in our marriage that had warranted his actions, he said no that he was okay with me.( the last time we had a quarrel was in June 2014). I thought he was happy because everything seemed fine or so I thought. His excuse didn't go down well with me so we quarrelled. While he was at work I ket texting him to express my anger at his deception. Now in nov 2013 we were approached by an Eastern European lady who was married to a Nigerian but wanted a divorce. I was surprised when she mentioned his name , my name and my son's name.
I was 4 months pregnant then. They met at the gym and he later told me that he kept telling her not to leave her marriage. But he claimed she wanted a relationship with him and said she told him she would destroy his marriage if she couldn't have him. She works and lives around so she knows my house, even told him she used to see us through our kitchen window. Well I warned her to stay away from my family and she backed off. In sept 2013 I went to Nigeria for a visit with my son and my husband was on his own, for 3 weeks.
On my return I found oyinbo woman's hair in between my sheets in the room,on the floor, on my cooker and in the bathroom. When I asked him he of course denied it again. Well fast forward to now I had been trying very hard to start trusting him again only for him to stab me again. This evening(Monday January 19,2015) we got into a fight and he punched me on my arm, almost punched me in the face and almost strangled me so I called the police and he's been arrested. My fellow bv's what's your take on this?
Oh Wow!....you called the Police on him? I dont mean to be wicked but i think your marriage officially ended yesterday and your husband is in a lot of trouble.
They will ask you if you want to press charges or go ahead to do it on your behalf.

I dont know what else to say so let me sit down and read comments.
Lol. Poster 2: all I can do is laugh. Sowie case. Poster 1: don't be selfish too. Let ur man know your finances. What's 2 lose
ReplyDeletePoster two, I think it's best you prepare your mind for the worst that your marriage is most likely over. As it stands if you are in the UK you cannot tell the police you wish to drop the case because domestic violence is now a jailable offence. If he is given a suspended sentence perhaps due to certain responsibilities he has then he will be given a restraining order and you know what that means. But that's just assuming you are in the UK but u don't know the country you are in. Not to now think of family pressure from naija who will say he should leave you and separate or even divorce you for allowing him to sleep in cell l, they won't think of the possibility that he could have even killed you in the process of the scuffle o. So just make up your mind, you cannot continue to allow a man abuse you , better to stay alive in one piece and take care of your kids than bite your fingers in regret in the grave.
DeleteLai Lai P1 don't let your husband know your account balance. He is too interested for my liking. And once he finds out, he will make sure he runs it down. Put his heart at ease n tell him u have no money. That independent cash you have is your leverage and very important.
DeleteStella, I hope it's not Mamie that is going through such?
DeletePoster 1: you and hubby shud leave his family house, you guys will b have peace, and try and keep money away from him.....does he not work??? All dis rush rush to marry when you guys have not built the foundation on a solid rock annoys me...bsids why will he be so interested in your money, looks like you married a lazy man.
DeletePoster2: I hope you working? Cos as it is your marriage is on the rocks...........prepare for the worst and ask God to strengthen you.
I m getting really sick about the way people are blaming poster 2! I have also called the cops on my husband for beating me because I confronted him about the female clothes and cream he bought to take to nigeria, he spent one night in jail, I didn't press charges. His people heard everything and said we should both avoid such from repeating itself. No one blamed me at all. Not that I m proud of it but it's important you draw a firm line about a cheating husband having the audacity to beat his wife. My husband came back very remorseful, I also apologised. My marriage continued and we even renewed our vows afterwards. That was a wake up call for him.
DeletePoster 2, please go to the police station and drop the charges, nothing will happen.. Ok, just make sure he doesn't get a caution because that will always show up in is criminal record.. Please just drop the charges ok, women should only call the police on their husbands if he is being violent or you fear for your life and not to teach him a lesson... #hugs# you will be fine, that the consequences of marrying an African can...
Delete*am out*
Ms Daniels, so she was punched in the arm and strangled but fir your mind her husband is not yet being violent abi? Shey it is when she is killed that you will know that she can call the police
DeleteDis one strong ohhh,am shift small for me to sit down
ReplyDelete****LONG LIVE SDK & SDKERS*****
*grabs_popcorn.. Biko lemme sit beside you.. This one pass me
DeleteHmm! Na wa for these chronicles o! No vex I no knw wetin to talk.
ReplyDeleteTrying to deal with my own chronicles today. I'm not even interested in reading comments.
ReplyDeleteLet me read comments.
ReplyDeleteWhy do u ppl run to this blog wt every tiny little problm? Does it mean u guys don't have common sense. P1, ur case is very simple to handle...stop keeping money wher ur husband wil see it, and refuse to spend a dime on the family. Wen he feels u hav nothin, he wil start spendin. Or were u spendin before he married u? And now u want to form wise woman? Cos if he's stil stayin in his family house, it means he's not buoyant enough and of course u knew that before u stepped into d marriage. Mtchew, yeye dey smell. Then, don't bother abt wat he says to his ppl. Keep being nice to them. Wen they can't find anyth ti pin on u, it'll all be on him. Finally, even though I kno u were jokin abt walkin away wt ur child, cos desperate women lik u don't do that and of course u were desperate wen u married a man wtout his own home, I'd stil go on to advise u never to step out of that marriage. Nothing dey outside u hear? Manage the one wey u get and make it work. Gbam!
DeleteP2, u already kno u did wrong so wat else do u want to hear. Are u sayin u never knew ur husband is a cheat for the 8 years u guys were fornicating? Pls cry me a river
just go back to the police and tell them i love my husband and i want him back.
ReplyDeleteSay wetin happen?
DeleteRead the chronicles of yesterday and I couldn't help but notice the second narrative and my situation are alike in more ways than one, while some insulted her and some gave meaningful advice, some thought it was funny. There's nothing funny about being in a situation like that I know because that where I am a state of total emotional neglect by my spouse, at first I was worried about the lack of sex, cuddling and all the romance we use to have I spoke up about it and the response I got was "ok I've heard" there was no change. Then came the total shutting off, my husband won't talk to me for weeks at once as in not a word, when it started I would ask and ask and ask what was wrong, why are you angry and moody I would get no reply I will even start apologising for what I don't know I did all for peace he will shut me off until one day out of the blues he will start talking to me again sometimes I get angry back he will buy gifts and I will forgive for peace to reign. But this behaviour has continued he blames me for every and anything, makes decisions with he's family concerning us and will tell me later, so many things I can't put in words. He was never like this all 2years of dating he was the most romantic caring man I ever met, our anniversary was last Sunday but he wasn't speaking to me for 4weeks now (I've asked, begged, cried to find out what's wrong I got nothing) he didn't even acknowledge my existence. But he's all happy and cheerful when talking to other people when they ask after me he responds joyfully "she's fine" (am I fine?).
ReplyDeleteI've decided to live for myself and my unborn baby even though it's been just 2years of marriage I feel like it's time to let it go because I'm tired of blaming myself, looking for what I did wrong, trying to get across to a man that has no regard for me anymore. I will live for my child whenever he's ready for a divorce all he has to do is just ask, I've come to that point where I don't really care anymore. I'm looking for a job (lost the one I had couple of months back) I'm asking everyone I know can help me with a job, the only reason I've not come here is because I don't want to ask for a job then I can't work because I'm pregnant so Bvs that can help pls keep me in mind I will be set to go back to work first day of June (my baby will be 3months then give or take depends on delivery) so please I will write again and again but if you have any openings in June keep me in mind.
Stop begging and asking him what's wrong....
DeleteLearn to start ignoring him by getting your self busy...
Infact,get a boyfriend that would be cooling your tension...
I don talk my own...
No die because of a man...
I love your spirit.
DeleteI am believing that lines will fall into places for you... don't relent in your job search..
Can you initiate night or morning family prayer sessions? It helps families bond.
Like Goldscent will always say,maybe is time to invite 3rd parties into the matter,your pastor,reverend or priest.. his folks as well...
kiss your lil bunny for me,hugsss
Those are the side effects of pre marital sex. The man has seen it all before marriage, and most men that insist on having sex before marriage are mostly of the opinion that marriage is for pro creation so the moment u get pregnant or put to bed, they start looking outside. So u see why marrying a God fearing man who doesn't believe in sex before marriage is important? Bc the passion in marriage is alwz prolonged and if it eventually dims, he looks for ways to rekindle it rather than lookin outside
DeleteMy advice to u is, stop looking for ur husband's attention, bcom indifferent, get busy and watch him struggle for urs
Lord, when I read narratives like yours, to marry dey fear me oh.
DeleteHmmm, your story sounds like a lady I know. Her husband is all friendly outside but inside the house, he is an island. She apologizes for his own wrongdoing. If they quarrel, she will apologize for both of them and also keep malice for life. Hers has been on for like 6years sef. Anniversary, birthday events like Xmas and co, he celebrates with his m'guys. Doesn't spend quality time with his kids. The woman blames herself for not seeing all these before jumping in cos Na belly catch am when the going felt good. Thought Mr Fineboy was still fine in character. Well, she has accepted her cross and living for her kids.
DeleteSeriously. When I read some of these stories and experiences, I get really scared of marriage and men ooo...me am just too sensitive to be repeatedly hurt ooo
DeleteStop blaming yourself for his silliness. He is a bully and an abuser. I experienced the same and took an outsider who got involved to understand that I am number one. If number one is not fine, nobody else will. Focus on yourself and ignore his negativity. He will soon realise it's his fault with his family.
DeleteYour husband may be bipolar. Sorry, see mental help for him. I am serious o
DeletePoster, I read the same narrative two days ago and wondered why some people were cussing her out. If she cheats on her husband tomorrow same people will still cuss her. Women! We are our own greatest enemies. Anyways back to comment. I totally understand what you are going through because I'm in the same boat. These men push women to the wall to the extent that they backfire. For now I'm watching my husband. I will give him a few years (1 or 2 max) and take a decision. Within those years I will try my utmost best to make things work while setting myself up nicely. If they don't work, I move to alternative b. Please don't stress, just look for other things to make you happy. Men are useless like that jare.

DeleteMarriage is awesome when you meet the right man.
DeleteErmmm dear poster 2, this your matter pass hand...so u guys dated for 12 years and u didnt know he was a cheat or you decided to keep a blind eye.. well he deserves every bit of d police kini and even more...not married though but that's my two cents
ReplyDelete@ Hillary, it's the "cheating and forgiving" episodes that made them date for 12 years. She thought he would change.
DeletePoster 1
ReplyDeleteYou already know what to do.Seperate yourself from him for now and watch if he will change.

ReplyDeletePlease click on my name for Fashion/Fitness/Beauty tips
And some are saying she ahouldnt have called the cops till it turns to her corpse. Same people will say another tomorrow. Double standards.
DeletePoster 1:
ReplyDeleteLooks like the 2 of you are unwilling participants in this marriage.
Your reasons here are not enough to end a marriage biko.
You can still plan your financial future while working at your marriage.
Abi a rich man is deceiving you somewhere?
Poster 2:
Good of you to get his lying arse arrested for going violent.
Since you don't have elders close by to talk sense into his coconut head, let the police do the talking.
You taught him an important lesson; that you can and will get him arrested for domestic violence.
A lot of Nigerian men misbehave abroad because they are so sure their partners wont call the cops on them. Until the women are beaten to death!
Your marriage doesnt have to end though.
Don't press charges. If you are not willing to pressed charges, he will be released with a warning.
If he's remorseful, have a heart-to-heart, forgive all and give your marriage another shot.
What if he poisons her after he is out, I think they should end it, it won't work again
DeleteYou people should be looking well before getting married Na, I take God beg una. Everyday it's one sad marriage gone sour story. Some of us will even see all these flaws and still stupidly go in, thinking they can whither change the man or they will "manage" and when they enter they will now realize they've made a huge mistake. There are still good men out there, enough with the "let me just pick anyone and manage mentality! Thumbs up to the lady that called the cops on her husband. I hope you're emotionally strong enough to pull what you started off before he kills you one day or spreads std to you and your kids. Poster 2, your husband is a complete nut case. Try and hold it together but if you can't walk away!
ReplyDeleteNa wao another marriage wahala, #1&2, stay with ur hubby abeg, u women complain too much, my husband this my husband that, if we are privileged to hear from ur Hubby's am sure the story will not be the same. U vowed on ur wedding day, for better for worse so deal with ur ish.
ReplyDeleteVery sensible comment, you never know the truth until you hear the other sides story, " Audi alterem patem"
DeleteNawa o. I don't even no what to say. All d stories re just somehow delicate. Let me join Stella to sit down listen to comments bc am not married yet n don't wanna say tins dt re out of point.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, some of d reason i fear getting married n stil feel marriage is overated. How do people jst change after marriage? How does a once sweet,loving,amazing man turn mean n heartless.

Poster 1:are you saying that you provide for your family financially and when you dont he rubbishes your reputation with your in-laws or what? well, I am an advocate of sitting, thinking and talking things through; so you should do that and whatever decision you end up making be sure its one that would vindicate you.
ReplyDeletePoster 2: calling the cops was rather too far but like you already suspected he's cheating and knows you know. please dont press charges, think of your kids and the emotional you all would go through. I am not advocating you keep quiet when he hits you but you see the cops take it a notch higher and completely destroy whatever thread holds your family together.
She went too far? U r dumb o. Wat if she feel nd died afta d punch? Oyin beriberi

Two very complicated narratives.
ReplyDeleteN1; your husband is still a baby at heart that's why he does those stupid things.
Stop keeping money in your wallet. Learn how to start singing "broke" song. He is taking you for a fool that's why he expects you to constantly spend till you are drained.
Don't end your marriage please. Try and initiate communication so you guys can sort your selves out. Good luck.
Order for your wedding, birthday and all types of party cakes, chinchin, doughnuts, small chops etc. Click on my blog name to see pictures.
1] My dear God is your muscle, marriage is like a wrapped gift. Whatever you see is what you'll take, you have to sit him down so two can have a very serious talk. Just try nd find out what his problem is with you so u guys can sort it out or better still visit a shrink and let it all out!!
ReplyDelete2] Babes you too much oo lol, I applaud you for getting him arrested. That way he won't ever in hislife lay a finger on you again, but I don't think you should press charges tho.. Its all up to you!!
OMG
ReplyDeleteWill just read comments
Nothing to say
Speechless @ the 2 narratives
hmmm... i dont even know what advice to give you. i guess it all depends on if you love him and if you want your marriage to work. your husband hitting is a big deal and you calling the police on him is also a big deal, so that's a strike from both of you. hopefully he comes out with his senses and you guys cant work out your marriage because of love or your kids.
ReplyDeleteSorry dearies.
ReplyDeleteAeegurl...
Poster one
ReplyDeleteI know marriages can never be the same,but I find it strange that your hubby will be monitoring your finances!! Omg!
Yes in marriage class,we were thought to be open wholeheartedly but when your spouse seems too interested in your money!! Chai... he is not nice biko!
A real man should even hesitate a little when you want to bring out your own money... obviously he is also working.. both of you should be saving towards huge projects together but your man aint loyal..
Since you have noticed his nature..it is time to start planning!!
Save your money,empty your wallet!!
Bring out your quota and lock up!!
Remember to buy properties in your kid's names...since it has come to this na.
It is so strange when I hear that men report their wives!!! Is he not supposed to be covering you up,defending you..
Well,my people say marriage is a package,what you open is what you get..lol
These issues are things that will fade away with time,finance is the major cause of break-ups in marriages. If you can overcome this,you will be fine.. it is not all perfect and rosy ooh... maybe you can even reduce the way you talk to him about how much you are getting or investing.. it is wrong but it will solve this immediate greed and envy. Where you wan carry your load go?? Lol
Second poster
I hope your husband is not trying to kill you ooh?? After 17years?? Wow!!! I thought it gets better?? Oh Lord please never remove your eyes from my home ooh. Keep on keeping us!! Pleaseee Lorrdddddd!
My dear,in as much as I see a ray of hope in most stories here,frankly I cannot tell you to stay and die. But what will make this man change after 17years?? Boredom?? Mid-life crisis?? Hmmmm
*taught*
DeletePoster1 I think you need to sit ur hubby down and communicate with him, tell him how you feel and perhaps he may change or and if he doesn't, those things that gets him angry like, ur account, u can open a new acct only u know without alert from d bank nd no atm wre u can always put away small savings without him knowing( just saying cos if I wre d one I would) or you keep spending ur money until you end up more broke than now. But don't leave yet, there is still room for him to change by God's grace.
ReplyDeletePoster 2, 17years. Its too long a time for suspect or cheat. I just pray ur marriage doesn't end. D tin is once you start suspecting ur partner, you must always end up seeing something that will confirm it for you. If you love him still, don't press charge bail him and pray all will get better. Am even short of advice sef. Calling cops on him isn't gud at all. This just spoils everything you guys have built for such a long time.

All these marriage sad tales just makes me wonder if it's worth it.
ReplyDeleteIt is well!
yinmu.... are dey in Nigeria or abroad? dis one u are saying the police will go ahead to prosecute the case if she is nt ready to press charges.well if she is in naija sha, they can only charge him for assault and mayb threat to life and if she is nt interested in d case. police kno as dem go take do am na. abi I no read d story well ni? how would someone even understand with d diffrernt dates dat are kinda nt flowing with d story.
ReplyDeleteY r men violent these days? Small argument, na slap. Hian!
ReplyDeletePoster 1; think of a lifeline in d marriage and stick to it. If he's cheating, use a condom with him. If he monitors ur account, hide it. Then lie, lie n lie. Be smart about it too. Maintain that till when he changes.
Poster 2; I would probably do worse in ur situation so I'm not going to berate nor judge u. Take it one step at a time. Map out a plan, if u want him back, work towards it. And if u don't, work towards it as well. Seek God guidance in all ur steps.
Hmmmmmm 7 months is too soon o.
ReplyDeleteNne decide today what u want.
U might stay n work out ur issues.and he will change for the better after that. OR Not.
it's a chance u wil have to take.a BiG chance.
and just know too that whatever decision u make, it's gonna be wit u for d rest of ur lives.
Buh 7 months is way too soon for dese kind of problems.
Good luck and take care of u and baby.
Poster 2,he did wrong.
it's a MORTAL SIN to hit a woman.
let alone one's wife.
And u calling d cops? I sympathize with u and get why u did that.buh i hope u know that Might end things between u.so here goes,If he wants out,be ready.buh If he wants to Stay,u Might let him and see how things go.
Pele...
I am too furious with this narratives, knowing how I as a person can't bear any of these acts from my man if found in such situation. I would rather keep mute on my advice rather than air it and making things complicated for the couple. I dey vex Jare.

ReplyDeleteBack to the matter. Poster 2 Please get ready for a divorce because evidently, there is no more love or respect. Except if you want to stay together for the kids.
Poster 1: I don't want to judge but your man is not yet grown. Btw! Why are some men still living in their family house?

ReplyDeletePoster one, your husband sees you as an ATM machine, why will your man be so focused on your finance? I will advise you to guard your money and save save save like your life depends on it. I have a problem with men who are gold diggers, he should go and earn to take care of both of your needs while you support however you can to complement his contributions that the role of a wife "support system" Shine your eyes well well. And good luck to you.
ReplyDeletePoster two, this is a tough one, domestic violence and a cheating spouse .
Poster 1 call his family so that they can hold a family meeting,ur hubby is crazy sorry to say!poster 2 why will u call the cops well i guess you will have custudy of the kids!snoopin is bad Hun
ReplyDeleteJezz!!! Ain't there good marriages any more? Am scared Oo
ReplyDeleteThere is....
DeleteMine...
Wish I can send Stella my story but you people will think am blabbing....
There are still good men out there...just pray to God to give you your own man and you will enjoy marriage...
its well.. thats all i can say.
ReplyDeletePoster 1 I think you gotta give it a go and if it doesn't work walk away! Have a conversation with him maybe his ego is bruised as he wants to provide and earn more whatever!
ReplyDeletePoster 2 I feel for you dear I think your marriage ended when the truss was broken, perhaps don't press charges and both of you go your separate ways as its either you let it go or walk away, it doesn't seem like he's chabging any time soon so the ball is in your court! But sending the father of your kids to jail or making have a criminal record may not be fair! Bear in mind I am not applauding domestic violence you should never have laid his hands on you!
For the last poster ,callin in d cops on your hubby was a bit off d line o.For d rest make I sidon read comments.
ReplyDeleteBLOG ANALYSER: @ two sorry abt ur ordeal but Stella is right. U should have just walked away quietly nd not cause drama better still u should have ignored him totally
ReplyDeleteWahala everywhere. Marry problem, you no marry wahala. Which one we go choose.
ReplyDeleteMadam calling police on your husband means big trouble ooo. I pray God gives you the strenght to go through this. It is very well. Randy men everywhere. Giving women heart attack. Lies from all of men
Poster 2
ReplyDeleteIt is your disrespect and running mouth that made him beat you up. The handwriting is on the wall and clear to see. It is either you leave the union peacefully or you manage the situation for solutions. Shouting or disrespecting him wont give you any results.
You have known him for 17yrs and you know what he can do. Why not avoid trouble and look for solutions?
Odd world.
ReplyDeleteI'll read abeg.
Wow, it is well. That's all I can say
ReplyDeleteI WILL RATHER WAIT AND READ COMMENTS ALSO........
ReplyDeleteN1. Your story sounds so similar to mine. When I had enough, I left him and aborted the baby. Not that I'm telling you to follow my foot steps, but I have never been happier about the decision. Good luck
ReplyDeleteN1, Please try to work on your marriage because of your unborn baby, once a baby or babies are involved you can't do what you want. N2, your hubby is a chronic cheat, i will never arrest my husband no matter what because of my children NEVER! I hope you can still save your marriage. Nigerian women are too quick to call the poise in Europe i don't get it.
ReplyDeleteMoi,even when he is killing you...
DeleteHian...
Hmm, wahala dey o, poster 1, hmm u weren't suppose to leave ur young marriage to build another person's empire, while u may have reasons 4 dat. Any man dat makes financial demands on a lady is not a man, I guess ur hubby married u cux of d financial favours he gets from u, or u made him think u r rich. Any which way, communication dey say is d key. The marriage is still to young to b going 2ru dese shits. Poster 2, calling cops on ur hubby is a no no 4 me, tot u r a true african woman! Except u want to end ur marriage. If u still love him, u can 4giv n start again, look more on d positive side, I believe if his truly repentant u ll learn to trust again, wish u lock. On d oda news I'm happy 4 myself hehehehehe cux I don begin gain ground 4 SDK blog, b4 6month/1yr I go become SDK blog legend/lord

ReplyDeletenawao!police for your husband? u have given d devil a chance in your marriage.a wise woman builds her home and d foolish one destroys it with her hands as u have just did.God help you.
ReplyDeleteYes madam, her husband is a human being and not above the law
DeleteShe should be a wise woman and die in silence abi?
Rubbish...what womy I read on this blog sef.... so she should stay there and die eh???..what devil are I talking about my dear???..place let the poor devil be...so If your husband keep punching u u will stay at home and be praying for him...odiegwu...no woman deserves to be beaten...for what now.???...even If she cheats on the man..either he sents her packing or forgive..haba. in this case he is even the one cheating...I have always said it...the day my husband will beat me and wound me eh...I will so hire people to beat the demon out of him too..
DeleteN1, please be patient with him the marriage is still young .
DeleteN2, Please get yourself a Good lawyer, asin very Good lawyer and let your friends be close by cos u are going to need them for It's about to get ugly!
.....so, she should have let her husband pound her right? You'll be singing another tune if you found out she died.
DeletePlease didn't you read the part of him cheating or she trying to trust him again before d last one he did? Abeg leave the devil out of the matter and there's nothing foolish in what she has done. Is it until she's dead then u'll be the first person to write RIP, biko she did the right thing!!!
DeleteWise women like you get killed or endure abuse so much your kid picks up the gun and shoots their father to defend your wise weak ass and ends up in jail, a wise woman like you would have ruined her child's life by allowing them endure years in an abusive environment, wise women like you end up with stds from Unfaithful spouses. Wise Woman the Bible says wisdom is profitable to direct Say NO to any form of domestic violence.
DeleteNa wah for ur comment o,did u read where she said he wanted to strangle her?so as a wise woman she should have allowed him to kill her?
DeleteMy auto correct is such a disaster... lol
DeleteAlways commenting offpoint. What is foolish about what she did? Is it until he kills her that you'll term her wise? And i'm sure you'll be one of the first people to ask her why she didn't leave an abusive marriage
DeleteShe shouldn't call police, she should have let him strangle her to death then blame her later that she knew her husband was a cheat and was beating her and she still stayed with him. U wise woman, when ur husband tries to kill u, don't do anything u hear...let him strangle u to death...his girlfriends will come to ur funeral @joice A. Yeye talk!!

DeleteThe greatest respect a man can give to you is not bringing a woman to your matrimonial home... D. E . Omofoma
ReplyDeleteYes men cheat and yes men are naturally polygamous.. Monogamy was a Greek thing that was introduced to the Romans before The Catholic Church adopted it.. Prior to the adoption by the Catholic their priests were allowed to marry.. Some were even polygamous..
He crossed the line of decency when he brought the oyinbo woman to your home and when he stupidly went out of his way to hit you.. It takes descipline to avoid cheating .. Just as it takes discipline to avoid snooping on your husband..
Yes am married.. Have never cheated ... Have no reason to.. Can never have a reason to... If you want to press charges go ahead .. Use hands to bring down your marriage with joy and dancing...your next husband will definitely be perfect .. He will be an angel..But remember " There is no such thing as a perfect man..Even if there is, who is to say he will love perfectly"...Odigie Omofoma
Hmmmm, this one pass me
ReplyDeleteNawa ooo, if u no marry wahala, if u marry wahala. God dey.

Beside U aving a healthy baby shud b ur main focus right nw. Goodluck&wishing safe delivery.
ReplyDeletePoster2 u&ur hubby needs serious counselling section,u both don't seem to fall on same levels, already d trust in ur marriage has died long ago,which has given birth to series of misunderstanding.
#2# you called police on year husband,eya it won't be smooth sailing anymore,the marriage you are fighting for is gone,even when the issue get to Nigeria,you are going to be referred to as the bad wife and if your husband eventually leave which he is going to,your children will grow up and see you as a cruel woman,snooping alert
ReplyDelete#1# why would your husband continue to leave with his parents,i hate dating guys living in their parents house not to talk of marriage,your husband is a weakling,he should get his ass up and feed you and his baby coming,your marriage is too early to pack up,hope you can work something out and please stop feeding that,and please save a lot of money,you will need it
Lol.. do u mind reading the post again??...
DeletePoster2, any man that brings a lover,a mistress,concubine or which ever name u want to call it is sick in d head and doesn't have respect for his wife. Dis man has gone beyond his limits by doing such and to make matters worse,he dared to hit u....My dear, u did the right thing by calling d cops on him. Am sure by d time he is out of there,he wld have a rethink and act right..it is well
DeleteIt is well o...Thank God there are still happy marriages out there.... All these stories are scary!!!
ReplyDeletePoster 1, seems you made the mistake of telling your hubby how much you earn...If so, there's wahala. .. When you start to earn more, there'll be more problems....He should learn to respect you, eventhough it's almost too late now. No man should disrespect his wife before anyone. Heres my harsh advice ( be warned you might shoot yourself in the foot) Disrespect him yhe same way he disrespects you in the presence of your people...Use his same words and afterwards ask him how he feels...that might make him stop! Goodluck
Poster2, note that there's no turning back after you press charges....Your marriage is done! No woman should condone violence of any kind...Why are Nigerian men abroad so terrible? Ladies, kindly do all the investigations necessary before getting married to any international man.....
Not all please. The danger of a single story, is just like saying all female students in naija sleep around which isn't true. Dangerous men are looming all over the world looking for who to devour and that is why we have to pray for a spirit of discernment to know who is real and who is pretending as this is irrespective of religion, race or social standing. I'm married to a man who is rich in Christ and money..he supports me and we live abroad.
DeleteBtw, reporting some men makes them tough cos they would say after all you would only report them to that same person again. Marriage ehn...i can't stand cheating men cos I don't cheat!
STELLA so Na only she call police U see talk. U no get another way to judge the matter?lmao
ReplyDeletenothing as painful as an abusive spouse, look for someone he listens to,tell the person all thta is happening let them advice him. Then after that when he listens and you see change. Make sure you both pray every night and before you start the prayer ask each other if theres anything you have done wrong for the day, if any, apologise and settle before you start the prayer , it helps u bond well as couple. Early marriage isssh quarrel and adjustment and dont forget to pray. The Lord will bring happy and love to your home.
ReplyDeleteSome women have turned to personal pastors and prayer worriors for their husband's..all in the name of marriage...they keep praying till death do them apart...while the men..cheat and beat them up...
DeleteSassy Chick" I read your comment, and I couldn't help but laugh...
DeletePoster 1" your husband sees you as World Bank... sorry ooo, pray, communicate and call his family if possible..*hugs
Poster 2" good move, no need pressing charges, just carry your Kaya and take care of your kids. Sowiiii hun#hugs
N1: You painted d exact picture of my Ex. When you no longer earn any income then you will know the real man you married. My advise, save as much money as you can bcos you havent seen his worst. I do not think he will change or improve nd you do not av kids yet o. U also need to move out of d family house. He is not a good man.
ReplyDeletePoster one : Sri to say but ur Hubi is greedy........dis are d kind of men dat won't want dere wives to work or earn more moni dan dem...his plan is to stop u from working so u will depend on him....just look for something tangible to do....God is ur strength
ReplyDeletePoster two:my lips are sealed....dunno wat to say but u Hubi is a serial cheat but calling d police for him was not d best decision u made....i tink ur marriage has officially ended......or wen he gets out tinz will get worst....but just trust in God he will make a way
Like seriously...so she should have left him to kill her? I don't understand how we women think. If she'd died, it's still u people that will come here to say she knew she married an abusive husband and a cheat and still stayed with him. Na wa for una o. May God help u people.
DeleteMadam ur husband is a liar and a cheat and will never change, now that he's started hitting u better be careful. If u live by what people say...or how they'll react to everything u do...u'll never move forward in life. If he'd succeeded in strangling u...this sane people will say something else. Just be careful.

Life Encounters
Hello Poster 2....im so sorry you are experiencing this now....nobody shld blaming her for snooping because d husband gave her every reason to snoop and if she didn't snoop, STD /HIV would probably have snooped life out of her...
ReplyDeleteYour husband is cheating...jm sure you know that by now..u need to decide if u still want to stay with him...No one can make that decision for u...its totally yours and whatever u decide is fine..u dont need to explain yourself to anyone but u.
As per the police call, speaking from experience, it will either make or break ur marriage. My hubby is a very nice guy who grew up in an abusive home where his father punches his mum at will...it affected him although he said he promised himself not to punch his wife but the monster came out and he did it...the first time..i called dis cops on him, hs was arrested but i said i wasnt pressing charges unfortunately in our county, u dont have dat option esp for domestic assault...d govt pressed charges against him...i felt awful...but even in d withholding cell, the cop told me he kept asking : is my wife ok?which was surprising to them,he was charged to court n i had to call a friend to bail him,his bail conditions were that he had to leave d house, and he cant communicate with him.his friend was d go to between us for a few days.we both finally sat down to talk in his friend's house .it was d most emotional talk we ever had.my husband was on his knees begging me for raising his hands on me..he was ashamed of himself.kept saying he thot he was better than his father but alas.i apologized 4 pushing too hard, its never 100% someone's fault.at that meeting we agreed to make dis marriage work.
we got a lawyer, the lawyer wrote d prosecutor to allow us see each other as we will be attending post marital counselling.we attended post marital counselling with our pastor.o how i love my pastor! he was clear and apportioned blame equally.more on my husband cus of the biblical injunction dat he is d head and he has to deal with me as a weaker vessel.my pastor wrote to the prosecutor on d result of his sessions with us and also wrote a character reference for my hubby.my pastor also recommended an anger management session for him.
The prosecutor agreed to dropping d charges but not until he did an anger management class and she demanded an interview with me...then i was 6 months preggy...she asked me abt my background,asked abt my extended family, my work and asked if i think im in danger.
At the end, after alot of prayers n fasting, she agreed to drop d charges saying, shes not out to destroy our marriage but had to teach hubby some lessons.
We spent over $5k on this case, we were on it for 18months, but it redefined our marriage...its been 9 yrs ago, he has NEVER raised his hands against me again.we still fight but we have learnt better ways to deal with it.it made our marriage.
Your case is slightly different.u staying in d marriage shld depend on ur hubby recognizing that he is wrong in all forms...the extra martial affairs is not acceptable..he cant be opening u and d kids to emotional, physical and spiritual attacks...d lady that was monitoring u from her kitchen window can do n undo, dats creepy n scary...the strange women he is chatting with can very dangerous to him n ur family...his true acceptance of his faults, with sincere repentance and willingness to work at it will determine d future of your marriage, of course this will take a very long time...its a long process...
But if hes not repentant and does not accept his fault...well its yours to decide...but even if u dont want the marriage anymore, for ur kids sake, dont testify in court against him, dont give d cops a statement against him, just keep quiet...even if u are subpoena to the court, at the witness stand, just keep quiet when dey ask u any question...if u dont tell them anything, dey have little evidence to convict..in which if he gets a good lawyer, dey can fight dat out.give him his freedom as ur parting gift..for d sake of d love u once shared and the sake of your kids...

Narrator 2: Please follow this advice. I wish you the best.
Delete@ the two posters and everyone; marriage is very complex and you can not know your partner that you have dated for even 100years; until you sleep and wake up with the person everyday of your life. some of these behaviours we can manage and some which are detrimental to life; we ask for separation or divorce. like domestic violence. so we have to know that marriage is not a bed of roses and it comes with loads of problems; challenges and sacrifices. when we pledge for better and for worse before man and God; we do not understand the meaning of that worse in the pledge that we made. in marriage we condone a lot of things because we are talking about two people from different backgrounds living under the same roof for the rest of their lives.even sibling from the same parents with the same up bringing quarrel and bear malice; talk more of husband and wife from different homes.
ReplyDeletenow poster 1: stay in your marriage and bear the worse that you pledged at the alter.this is your own cross in marriage; so bear it with all your strength. try talking with your husband and ask him the reason why he is indirectly shying away from His responsibilities and also why he is manipulating you.if he has no good answer or has a good answer and feels remorseful; but later do not change.go on your knees and be patient. continue being the good wife and one day my dear; you will see change.all the best
@poster 2:my dear you have to understand that up to 80% of men cheat on their wives because of the animal instinct in the them; which they can not control. there are different types of husband out of all these men that cheat
1 the ones that cheat on their wives and hide it; comes into the home and be a darling husband to his wife and a good father to his children. he has respect for his wife
2 the callous ones who cheat on their wives and do not care if she finds out.they have no respect for their wives and some do not take care of their responsibilities.so dear whether we have found out or not doesn't make any of our husbands innocent of the crime.
God help you poster.
ReplyDelete@P1. Its a big no no to declear all your assets to a man even if he is your husband. A lot of them will shift the responsibility of the house to you with style once they know you have even if they could have done it easily. So learn to code urself. @P2. Good you called the police let's hope the experience put some sence in your husbands head not to beat a woman no matter what. Don't press charges let's see if you can salvage the marriage
ReplyDeletePoster 1, I can relate with you cos I totally not just understand but going thru almost the same ish. Mine has been toppled with beating which has left me bedridden for days now with a cut in my head due to his blows. I am convinced now that I am married to a sociopath and seriously planning my way out. He must not see me with money else he will find ways of spending or collecting it. He has no empathy or conscience. Even when I groan in pains he laughs. Wonder what being on planet earth finds another persons pain inflicted by d same being amusing. No one truly understands what I am going thru as he is so smart and I get blamed for all at d end of the day. Imagine being thoroughly cursed, abused and beaten and when I start to react then records just wot I said as proof. Fellow bloggers pls pray with me. Don't want to kill or be killed. I am running out of patience. I can endure this torture anymore. The kids too don't really like him. I know some people will blame me for not seeing the signs when dating which I true. Still wonder how I was totally blinded to all. At least we dated for about 7yrs.sobs.......
ReplyDeleteSorry dear, shit happens, but there's one solution to ur problem, run for ur dear life when u recover, am sure u are not an orphan.

ReplyDeleteU did the right by calling d cops on him . Am sure he wl sit tight henceforth. It is well with your marriage
DeleteYou should have, that would have thought him a lesson. Weakling of a man. Make e go fight him mates for outside!

DeleteStella I can't believe that you don't support that she calls the police!!! In a society where things work, yes dt's the right thing to do. No one has the right to lay a finger on you.
ReplyDeleteWhat if she had died in the process of beating her? Besides there is no garuantee he won't try it again if she didn't call the police. Let this be his wake up call abeg! Now she can decided to press charges or not press charges, and it may or it may not teach him a lesson.
I hate any form of domestic violence, and a lot of Nigerian women a suffering because they are told to endure and keep their mouth shut!! A lot of women have lost their lives because they kept quiet.
Kudos to P2 for getting the police involved, dt will teach the guy s lesson, now the next step is up to the both of them if the want to work on their marriage, forgive each other or if her husband wants to continue sleeping around.
Poster 1: Did you say you guys liev in his family house? Then that is mainly where your problem is coming from. The second problem would be that your husband is a tattler and quite immature for the demands of marriage.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately marriage is for better, for worse except for cases of abuse and life-threatening issues, so you have to sit down and sort this matter out with your husband.
Pray hard, talk hard and stand firm -- move out of family house.
Poster 2: Well, I am a litlle confused about European laws, but Stella said something and she should know. The Police are already involved, so I guess you'll have to take it from there.
Meanwhile, truly think about what you want from your marriage and decide for yourself.
Good luck.
It's by the way(btw),not between...

ReplyDeleteOh dear! Patience works wonders@n1, talk to him about his behaviour, be subtle when the discussion is on. Tell him you love him no matter what I believe he would change. @n2, patience patience patience. But raising of his hands to punch you is what I don't concur to what if you blacked out or something, get forgice him on this one but get ready to leave the next time he hits you, because he would do it again that is if he doesnt make the first move to leave on this one. I pray God heals the two marriages.
ReplyDeletePoster 2....u did notin rong in calling the police....ur just one of d few women who av d nerves to say NO to domestic violence.
ReplyDeletePoster 1:hour hubby wants you to be financially dependent on him. Maybe you should start saving up in a secret account to for the rainy day since he's not comfy with you have more money in your account than he does. Am sur when will appreciate the money when there is need for it.
ReplyDeletePoster 2:your marriage officially ended yesterday when you called the cops on your hubby and I sincerely hope you at emotionally balanced to handle it. Good luck
Poster#1: Your man seems to see you as an ATM machine. Is he working? Were you always providing for him before now. Living with his family, why not get your own place?
ReplyDeleteGood thing you are away for work. I beg start saving and building yourself up. If you have 1naira you never tell a man you have 50kobo. Also talk to him and maybe have his family also talk to him. Marriage is not easy, prayer and patience is the key.
Poster#2 I guess your husband's disrespect hit an all time low with you. Pele. Its either he comes back home repenting or hardened. You know Naija pple (especially men) don't like police in obodo oyinbo. My question to you is what exactly do you want? Yes you! Stop living your life for him. If you want to walk then do it (can you survive on your own?), if you want to stay then turn a blind eye to his behaviour. Like I advised above, prayer is the key. It is well!
Its actually time u women advice urselves... no matter amount of advices n encouragement u get here.... u alone can tell urself the truth.... we can only give u the courage to already do wats in ur heart? Carry on wit urs in ur heart to do sweerie ok?
ReplyDelete#1, Have 2 accounts. Hide one from him where you have much money in. When visiting home, have very little cash, so when he goes through your wallet, he will provide.
ReplyDelete#2, The marriage is over. Nigerian men don't forget and forgive such. My relative did same, when he came back, he divorced her and relocated to another state severing all contacts.

Nigerian women IRRITATE me. That is why your husbands behave like animals. If another man hits you won't he report the matter to the police? Abeg teach him a lesson, you are not his punching bag.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what advice to give.
ReplyDeleteThese chronicles are the type that need to be handled by very mature parties especially the second.
Just last Sunday, the priest reiterated that marriage is for better for worse, so people should exercise prudence before taking vows.
All I can do is pray for you both. May the Holy Spirit grant you the wisdom to handle your marital problems.

Poster 2...... You deserve a better man... From your narrative it shows you have been faithful to this man... so he doesnt deserve you... Just leave him before he plans to kill you.
