gillz: Do I hav to dialogue with my wife on what food I hav to eat and hw I want it prepared, do I hav to dialogue wit how on when and hw her sisters shld put my 2 yre boy to sleep? Or do I hav to dialogue wit her on cleanliness and orderliness in d house?I am not sure but i don't think there should be a dialogue about the things you mentioned up here. What i don't understand is that, 1. Is it that your wife doesn't know how to cook that you now have to give instructions on what food you want to eat and how you want it prepared? are you guys just married? Is it like you ask for beans and stew and she gives you jollof beans or maybe you want fried eggs and she gives you boiled eggs? 2. I expect that she should know how to take proper care of your boy as regards putting him to sleep with or without your instruction. Is it that she is lacking in that aspect that you now have to be the one to give instructions about that? 3. As per the cleanliness and orderliness, i don't know about dialogue in that one o. gillz: Tnx bennyrazz, I said for d washing machine to last dey shld avoid washing jeans wit it and wen d machine started having fault I discovered dey were washing jeans wit it wen I asked her she said she can't stop dem since I'm not d producer.

As per the washing machine, i don't think you have done any wrong afterall wifey should know that if machine spoils, everybody will be affected, her especially. On the laptop issue, is it that you are having a problem with them watching film on it from morning to night, or because they do so without your permission. As for me, no big deal in using a laptop but the problem here is that since you have told your wife that you don't like it, then maybe she should respect that. OR is it that she is afraid of her sisters? What you can do? Call her and talk to her. Ask her why she has changed since you said she wasn't like that before? |

How old are her sisters? Do they live permanently with you guys? Are they in agreement to babysit your son for you as maybe part of payback for your help to them(if any) I want to understand why you give instructions to your wife's sisters on when and how to take care of your son. gillz: Do I hav to dialogue with my wife on what food I hav to eat and hw I want it prepared, do I hav to dialogue wit how on when and hw her sisters shld put my 2 yre boy to sleep?

Godmystrength: I think so. And the wifey is a full time house wife. He said she works in a bank. The poster is feeling a little self conscious as per his situation but he should realise that being a husband is beyond money. They are very disrespectful, and the wife is silly. Everyone knows me, disrespect me no problem but carry your stupidity near my husband and see full demonstration of craze. |

aisha2: bennyrazz: he said wife works in a bankOkay. I didn't see that. But how can she work in the bank and still be able to watch movies from morning till night? Maybe on weekends sha. No problem. I think the sisters have no regards for their sister's husband and that is where the major problem is. Why are the sisters living in their house in the first place when they have their own parents. I am the first child in my house and i have SISTERS yet they don't live with me. They only come to visit ONCE in a WHILE. They have only visited me once this year and it was during my baby's birthday. No sleeping over because i know my hubby and i know my sisters and i know myself. I don't have time for husband/sisters wahala that will now end in stuffs like choose between me or your sisters etc. Let the sisters go back to their parent's house. 2 Likes |

Just send these sisters the hell away, if dialogue doesn't work, call the gate man to bundle them out, your wife can join them if she wishes. This woman has no regards, i can't even imagine my husband's brothers using my laptop without my permission. No time for nonsense. 1 Like |

I seem to be encountering mostly FJ's lately [Feelers and Judgers] Hi Gillz ......Please read through to see if a large percentage of the epistle below describes you, your response will determine mine. As it stands now, we seem to have discovered the root cause. Now I'm seeking to understand you....... Corrections where deemed fit'd be welcome too So Here goes: Deep down, you are a sensitive and emotional individual who can get hurt and disappointed very easily. You may also worry too much about other people’s feelings and well-being. Due to your altruism and sensitivity, You are likely to struggle with decisions involving hard choices. You may waver between different options, unable to stop thinking about all the possible consequences. Your self-esteem depends on whether you're are able to live up to your ideals and fulfill your goals, while at the same time making sure that everyone around you is happy. If your ideas are being constantly criticized or you are unable to help people close to you, your self-confidence is likely to plummet. |
Re: Need Advice by Nobody: 7:28pm On Jul 31, 2014 |
The major problem i see here is that you lost your respect long before you knew. For the married the respect you can command from your inlaws is only the much your partner gives. Unfortunately your wife lacks it and you like your wife are scared of your inlaws. You only notice this because your inlaws can boldly express it cos they got no money to loose unlike when you were financially ok. To solve your issue you must restore respect from your wife so that the others can follow. Give you Sils ultimatum to leave your house & firmly make up your mind to take them back to their parent's should they fail. Trust me even your wife need this push from you to draw the line. She will be shock at first but fear(respect) & be grateful later. Finally dnt give ur wife instructions(its a huge turn off for women wt self worth), dialogue instead or can you give instructions to a partner wt you on a project in your office? |

Re: Need Advice by Nobody: 9:34am On Aug 01, 2014 |
If everything you said above is true, then YOUR WIFE IS THE PROBLEM.. Your wife is the link between you and her sisters, so why can't she caution her sisters?? She discusses things you both talked through with her sisters who inturn discuss with their friends?? WTH?? Is she scared of her sisters or something? Or she enjoys the wreck they're causing to her marriage? If you can't caution your siblings, then why bring them over? She even discusses with them first before approaching you to discuss same issue?? Who does that? It's clear it's her sisters that run your marriage.. did you also say her sisters use your laptop without your permission? YOUR WIFE HAS NO REGARDS OR RESPECT FOR YOU!!! How can she sit and watch her sisters destroy her marriage while she says nothing?The sisters may even know nothing about marriage yet riding her own marriage and if you try to send them away without your wife consenting to that, the whole family will rise against you.. You need to speak with your wife because she's obviously the person allowing your marriage go this way, Had it been she has regards for you, her sisters will have no guts to behave the way they do, they're following their sister's path and only when your wife starts respecting you will others follow suit.....call her out and hear what her problems are, ask her if she likes the way things are going in your marriage..Have a heart to heart talk...... you dated for 11years and she's learned too, so her attitude is quite a surprise to me.. Finally, you don't give instructions/command to a wife, you both plan and reach conclusions together. Op, don't worry, everything will be fine, ok?? |
Re: Need Advice by thorpido(m): 9:34am On Aug 01, 2014 |
You don't have the respect you ought to have in your house.How did you allow it get to this? You need to be firm henceforth and put your sisters in their place.Unfortunately,your wife is not helping matters. Dialogue more with your wife rather than just dishing out instructions and don't let your financial situation erode your self-confidence. |
