Re: My Wife Is Now Totally For Our Children, Gives Me Little Or No Attention by baby124: 8:55pm On Aug 06, 2013 |
joa2013: Please members in the house, kindly help me. I am a 40 year old man, married to a 33year old very beautiful woman. We got married in 2007 when I was 34 and she 27. A very responsible, hardworking, thoroughbred and dutyful wife. I love her so much that I that I cant imagine myself holding the hand of another woman in this my lifetime. We now have 3 kids, 2 boys and 1 girl who are 5, 3 and 1 year old respectively. The issue now is that since 2010 when we had our second child, my wife has gradually shifted attention away from me to the children. She dots on them to the extent of not caring about how I fare at all. Gone were the days when she will look carefully at my dresses before I go out, she prepares my food now, put it on the dining table and start running after the children to make sure they eat, no more time for those love chats again, no more outing except church. Its the children first. I thank God for a wife who is a true mother and wife especially at her age, I am also very close to my children. Being intimate with my wife has been difficult, the children especially the two boys will rather sleep on my bed beside my beautiful wife instead of the beautiful beds I bought for them, I am now forced to even have my own room. I have boasted to those long necked "beautiful ladies" in my office that none of them could compare to my wife in terms of beauty and responsibility and they too know I am not lying. But these days, I am beginning to look the way of these ready and waiting ladies in my office and some other places even though I am seriously controlling myself not to fall for their pranks. My wife is an administrative officer in a govt establishment, she gets home each day to work very hard for all of us, I have been assisting in the area of house cores and in handling our restless children also since I dont like the idea of having housegirls. She will not even allow anyone do "her work" for her. I have discussed it with her on several occasions, she will plead for understanding, try to adjust but to no avail. She is always tired, when the children sleeps, its halleluyah for her, immediately after prayers, she crawls to bed and off she goes, I am feeling lonely friends and outside women or mistresses are no option for me, please what do I do,thank you all... awww. People can get caught up in their lives and i think she feels you will understand. Why not help her do some chores as well and help her settle the kids. You are their dad, kids listen to that strong voice quicker than the soft voices of their mums. Maybe you guys should try to do more house work and relax on the weekends, so that her week days are less stressful. Even if it means going to the kitchen and helping her turn the swallow or assisting her in cooking the soup or warming it. Also make your children involved in helping her too, by behaving themselves and cleaning up after themselves. This is the price you all have to pay for settling with not having a help. Everyone must help. And let her know you feel left out and you need her attention just as much as the kids. Madam if you are reading this, as i suspect this guy did not post this here without hoping you will see it, behave yourself. Everything does not have to be perfect. And chase those naughty kids to their rooms and their territory. They shouldnt be sleeping with you guys. Not even the 1yr old. |

Re: My Wife Is Now Totally For Our Children, Gives Me Little Or No Attention by Nobody: 11:15pm On Aug 06, 2013 |
debrief08: Please let's define "Helping out", a man takes his plate to the kitchen once a month and that is defined as "helping out". i think he very clearly indicated that was not an option. I have to ask, do people read posts before commenting these days? |

Chillisauce: All that is useless if the marriage relationship is not growing. A smarter woman would outsource most of this work to a house-help so she can focus some of her energies on pleasing her husband. What is the point in keeping a spotless kitchen when your man hasnt had intimate knowledge of his wife in months? Didnt the same bible she is reading tell her not to deprive her man of her body? |

I.Joan: How we for do now you're invited too, make a choice easy life. baby_123: Are you turning swallow for 10 people?? ... Sorry oh I'm home now and in the kitchen taking a look at my tiny wooden spoon I use for turning one cup of powder for both of us. I'd rather tone my Michele Obama aspired guns turning that swallow everyday instead of those 50kg weights. Don't mind me jare, diff strokes. Long time... How's work & family? Can you people leave Debrief alone already abi wetin? |

Selfish agbaya. Why don't you share the job with her and force her to rest until you are done. Then you can return and have some good loving-that is if there is any strength left in you. |

for real Davidylan? Nigerian guys want to marry a woman who is neat, we all know that. I once had dinner with a good friend who told me he dumped the girl he was planning to marry because the kitchen is always dirty eg after cooking, she doesn't clean up. They want to marry a Christian lady, preferably born again. Now you are saying those qualities aren't important if her hubby intimate desires are not met? odikwa serious. Anyway, how are you doing nwa mama. davidylan: |
Re: My Wife Is Now Totally For Our Children, Gives Me Little Or No Attention by Nobody: 5:06am On Aug 07, 2013 |
armyofone: for real Davidylan? all you mention and intimate desires are not mutually exclusive. However, as in all things, there is time for everything. As busy as the wife is, she still finds time to log in her normal ours at work. So why should she deprive her husband of her body? It doesnt matter how neat the house is... without intimacy that marriage is simply a divorce or adultery waiting to happen. You can clean your house, raise your kids and still please your husband too. |

Chase those kids from your room ( most important) . As long as they are clean, not sick and fed, a little (or a lot) crying depending on how they want to play it will do them no harm. Once that is done, other things will fall into place. The most important is having that few minutes before bedtime to talk or whatnots Also, cliche answer but you and your wife need date night at least once a month where you "dump" the kids on grandma, a trusted friend or a professional nanny. Mr Husband, don't fret too much, this is just a stage once those kids are at that stage where they are not solely depended on her, wife will once more give you the attention you crave. Let them get to the "mummy I am a big boy, i can bath myself, mummmmmy" wife will once more get back to her senses and realise those kids (opoju) by 25 years they will be gone to have their own family etc and she will remember her husband but until then it is YOUR job in the interim to make sure that by then you are not strangers. |

Re: My Wife Is Now Totally For Our Children, Gives Me Little Or No Attention by Nobody: 7:41am On Aug 07, 2013 |
The OP is not helping out abeg . Just one of those lies to get sympathy. If he is truely helping out woth those 3 children, either 1. The wife will be there for him for love making or 2. OP will be the one passing out after the kids are in bed. Btw, big congrats to the super women. Now OP, get to work and help batth, clothe those beauriful kids you gave birth to. Am sure by the time you try to make them sleep one night then u know what ur wife is passing through. Anyway, make i stop here, na your wife i even blame for spoiling you.

chaircover: David is right. We are sometimes guilty of focusing on the wrong things and It will do us a great good to listen to our men when they are talking (and vice versa) because most of the answers to our questions are actually not far away from our partners mouths. .Yeeepa Oga CC is like most men ojere all this your birthday sereren means nothing without the icing on the cake .Thank you for reminding me, hubby birthday is coming up. No matter how we deny it, intimacy is a very important part of marriage and as jidegirl illustrated , you often have to get creative with very young kids.As I said, we almost went down that path until an aunty came to stay for a night.She saw me and my daughter going in to bed(she was about 1) and my husband going to sleep in another room.She is not a poke nosy type but she called me about 2 days later and apologised that she was going to point something out to me, she told get your daughter out of YOUR bed fast.I was like but she cries and wont sleep if my body is not near (she actually knew my smell).She said its sleep training, take a holiday cos yeah you might hardly get any sleep and would go into work exhausted. If I am being honest, me and hubby were gradually turning to just parents and not a couple.All we did revolved around this lil princess. We went weeks without s.eex cos sometimes I would think I would quickly sneak to his room when she was asleep but cos I had gone to work, came home and stressed myself, I would just sleep till the next morning. So, get them out of your room, pillow talk is essential for intimacy.2nd step talk to her to prioritise duties.Let her bulk cook and freeze.Its easier cooking basics like rice, swallow than cooking a whole pot of soup when you get back from work.You handle the kids getting to bed, when my husband says bedtime, you never get daddy pls 2 more mins like me.Spend time apart from the kids.It might not be possible to always get someone to babysit, but you can have date nights in your house sef.I know its not practical for us to get childcare help routinely, most times sef we rather pay. It might be selfish but my kids must have routine bed time not just cos it's good for them, but also for my sanity and marriage 1 Like |
