I never seen marriage as a competition between the man and the woman where the one that provides calls the shots. The woman should complement the man without having to call the shots. This is what I know marriage to be before getting married.

You're talking like this because the woman is bringing in the dough here. If it was the man, you wouldn't mind him calling all the shots. The hypocrisy on this thread. This justifies my resolve that Nigerian men are the ones putting financial pressure on themselves not the women. I mean, how else will they call the shots? They need to remain in that financial position of power to call all the shots init? I hope we reach a level in our society where every human is respected not because of the size of their accounts.

Op,if your wife has millions in her account like you said, think of a business idea, ask her to borrow you money for the business to enable you stand as a man.But make sure you pay her back. But again, this should serve as a lesson to unmarried young guys, don't marry without a job.I will further advise that you don't marry any woman that is richer than you. My own little advice from my own opinion though.

Just imagine this scenario....... a poor lady marries a senator's son, and the father foots their bills because he is rich, then the husband starts treating his wife with contempt and disdain, regarding her as worthless and not worthy of his respect, all the ladies on this thread who have no grouse with what the OP's wife did would be saying something else; inhumane idiot, he never loved her, misogynistic bastard.....

But, a man resigns from his job at his wife's behest, and because her father is rich, he becomes responsible for their finance, the man becomes a worthless human being, deserving of no regard from his wife, and shouldn't complain about whatever he gets, because in this case she owns him, and he should be her slave.

Now you get it. GENDER EQUALITY.

I know the kind of fume this would have generated from feminists on here if it were the first scenario that played out and is being reported. Fücking useless hypocrites.

OP, I hope next time, you will never choose to be this foolish in the name of love.

THEIR HYPOCRISY IS SECOND TO NONE. MOST OF THEM WHO BLINDLY JOIN THE BANDWAGON DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT, NEITHER DO THEY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
THEY THINK THEY'VE GOT IT FIGURED OUT JUST BY HAVING ACCESS TO THE INTERNET WHERE THEY CAN FOÖL THEMSELVES IN ONE ACCORD.
NOT KNOWING THEY NEVER GON ACHIEVE ANYTHING WITH THAT TYPE OF LIFE.

The mistake has been made already. Human beings make mistakes but thank God you are still alive and things will become better for you. Please see my views as a family man, below:

1. Hand over your challenges to God in prayer. Do not stop praying, knowing that God still answers prayers.

2. Do not relent in your search for a job. Chat with old and new friends and let them know that you are looking for a job. Subscribe to online job alerts; visit the sites of recruitment agents; when you go out, talk to people about job, do not shy away. Make sure you go out most times so your wife won't be seeing you at home always.

3. Continue to love your wife, let her know that you are making effort to get a job. Also, let her know that you are not comfortable with a third party dictating the affairs of your family just because you do not have a job currently.

4. Do not shout at your wife, do not argue with her. Learn to keep calm even if she brags or insults you. Continue to respect your wife.

5. Make new friends. Do not wait for opportunity, create an opportunity to make friends.Attend public functions where you can make new contacts.

6. Let your CV be well prepared and handy. Check your email regularly in case you might be invited for an interview through your email.

7. You should buy data from telecom SME agents who sells data that has 3 months validity so you don't buy data every month.

8. Only make calls that are necessary. You don't have to call all the numbers that flashes you. Chat more and make less calls

9. Do not runaway from your home due to to current challenge.it is not a permanent challenge.Face the challenge as a man.

10. Do not talk about pride or ego at the moment. Just be humble, do not talk much, let your brain walk.

11. Dont despair, God is in charge. If you subject yourself to psychological and mental stress and anything happens to you and you are no more, belief me, your wife will remarry in no distant time. You will no die before your time in Jesus name (amen).

13. Do some domestic chores yourself e.g. wash your clothes, clean the house if it is dirty, you can cook if your wife is busy with your child, dispose the dustbin when you are at home. Just make yourself valuable.

14. Join groups/clubs/societies that can add value to your life. Some members of such groups assist other members when the need arises. I AM NOT ADVISING YOU TO JOIN SECRET CULTS.

15. Be prudent. Spend whatever money that enters your hand wisely.

16. Alotbof people advice you, be wise. Yo don't have to take advise that will destroy you and your home. Ask for divine wisdom to guide you.

17. Finally, do not give up, look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot, but how much money will I be able to make now that will bring back the usual love my wife had for me? Will I be able to satisfy her in anything again? I actually need to dislodge her father and start marrying her as my wife or else I take a far journey away from home.

My brother, don't panic. It can still be solved. Thankfully, you and your wife are still together. First and foremost, women are built for comfort & so when anything changes that, they become agitated....they usually don't even realize that.

Men on the other hand are built to make way. You don't need to make all the money in the world for your wife to love you or start respecting you. She just needs to see you take charge. How can you take charge? First & foremost, cut your father-in-law's influence off. How can you do that? Start looking for a job. Preferably,look for a job outside the city where your father-in-law lives. If you can afford to relocate your wife & kid(s) with you to the new city, do it....if you can't afford to do that, be the only one who works in the new city but make an arrangement to always see your wife and kid(s) weekly, fortnightly,monthly or however you deem convenient for your family.

When you can do this, your wife will see effort & if she loves you and she's reasonable she will support you and even fight for you against her parents' control.

Another option is if you have some reasonable savings from the monies your father-in-law has supported you both with, try to start a really well-thought business & once you start that, stop collecting monies from them. The bottom line is that you should cut off your father-in-law's financial support to you. I am sure that the support he offers you may be from a good heart, but that also cuts your own influence in your own home & increases his own influence in your home.

Stay strong, brother.

What kinda story is this one sef? Bros if this is true, then it's either you a gold digger hiding behind your First Class certificate or you a special kinda stupid, like world record stupid.


Your father in-law pays your rent? I've heard it all.

Am sorry but you sold your dignity the moment you sat back and started enjoying your father in-law's money (who does that?), now you want to be the MAN, what man?. Except you are financially buoyant enough to pay back what was spent on you, you are the WOMAN of the house.

My name is Dahe. I struggled to graduate from the university. I made first class. After that, I got a job that pays 120k per month. But there is this problem with the job. You work like the bull and hardly have time for yourself. I sometimes sleep in the office just to beat time. It's work all through from morning till night.

There is this girl that I fell in love with. She was 21 then while I was 25. She kept complaining that I always keep to myself at work without a bit of care for her. The complain and accusations kept on till I decided to listen to her. I only worked for two months and had just been paid for the second month.

I invited her over to my house in Abuja. She came, and that time she was on her final year. She came with so many books and by the look of things, she was prepared to stay longer.

As usual, workload took over every event. At midnight, my phone rang and it was my girl. I was afraid to explain anything but I told her I was coming home right away. I did. It was hell in my home. We managed to make love and slept.

The next morning, my MD called demanding my presence. My girl insisted that I call him back and ask for a break that day. I did not.

Rather, I begged her and went to work. I truly loved her and wanted to propose to her before she goes back to school. But to make her feel good and belonged, I called her on phone to break the news. I proposed to her.

My MD sent for me to ask that I work through the night again. I said no. He pleaded, but I refused. It was hard saying no, but I had no choice.

At home my girl had turned herself into a ready made wife and I regretted not proposing to her till now.
I did not go to work the next day due to the new development at home. You understand what I mean..
My MD called to vent his anger, but I was calm and my girl swore never return to me if I didn't resign from the work. I took her word and resigned.

I looked for another work to no avail. She kept servicing my bank account with lots of money. Her father is rich.
She called me and asked me to speak with her mom and after some weeks, the dad. They kept saying, "please take good care of our daughter, don't break her heart".

My girl gratuated with a 2.1 honours and I attended her graduation ceremony where I met her parents live. After some weeks, her father called me to ask me about my plans with her daughter, I did not hide anything, and he told me to act fast.

A month later, I called him to inform him of my plans to marry his daughter the coming Christmas, but only that money was the big issue. He told me to go on with my plans that he will take care of everything. I jumped at it and we wedded. He took care of everything starting from invitation card to reception.

He refurnished my house in Abuja and transferred three years rent sum to my landlord's account. He paid in advance. Our first child came, still I and my wife are jobless. My In-law takes care of us.

I wanted to be in charge of my home but the man kept interfering, making the daughter to take a contrary decision on crucial matters.

My wife no longer takes my advice, what do I do? I need your candid advice on this matter. Please help me!

MY QUESTION: Will you as a father leave your home to meddle on your daughter's own home? Why won't you allow her to build her home with her husband?

The moment Esau ate Jacob's porridge, he paid back with his birthright. You have traded in the control of your home as husband and father for prepaid rent and food stuffs. Nothing at all is free.
If you really don't like the meddlesomeness of your FIL, of which is just the beginning, cut of his welfares immediately. It will cost you some convenience momentarily, but you will surely rebound. It is important to know that they don't see you as a great inlaw and will never respect you until you become a man. Nobody respects a dependant-adult neither does he deserve it. Goodluck.

Thanks for this, but I am truly disappointed. I married her with all my heart. We swore for better for worse; for richer for poorer. What's happening now is not what I bargained for. What's next for me. Advise, please.

My brother, don't be mad at her. Like I said in my earlier reply to you, women are built for comfort and anything that jeopardizes that starts to put them on edge...unknowingly. That does not mean that a woman will not support you when you don't have money. As a matter of fact, there are women out there who will ride or die for men who have no money but after sometime, they start to lose their focus either because of fatigue, what their friends are feeding their minds etc. It's usually not always intentionally for such women to turn their backs on theirs guys...it's just that the pressure unknowingly starts to get to them at some point & that's why it's important that the man sees logically enough to know that his woman may have more money than him or she may not even have, but he shouldn't worry about her own money but worry about being able to at least provide the basics for her.

I guarantee you, your wife may still very much love you,it's just that pressure's getting to her & she doesn't realize it. Sit her and talk to her, tell her your dreams,ambitions & visions & ask her to support you in achieving those for both of you and your family & then do all the other things I advised you to do in my last reply.

Stay strong & focused.

If truth be told, the home is not yours. You are his adopted son cum in-law who he takes care of. If you are expecting him to act otherwise when he is 100% responsible for your wellbeing then you are even more naïve than I I first thought. So u cannot use his wealth and connection to your advantage??

Don't quit. Solution is to try to start making your own money no matter how little. Women love to receive from their men even if they have more money. You can start a small business from some of the money your father in-law and wife have given you in the past. Or you get from them and start. This will enable you to contribute your own quota towards the running of your household.

Overtime perhaps you would be able to assume full leadership of your home when you eventually make enough to pay rent etc. For now, lay low and plan on how to make money and better your life.
Divorce isn't the immediate solution. Making your own money is the first step. And don't blame your wife or inlaws. Did you expect them to keep helping you for long without them taking control? No. This is a natural law of nature. Their help was supposed to be temporary na .Just to set you guys up. Count yourself lucky. Not many son-in-laws have that privilege.

If anyone has blamed you or insulted you here, don't be angry with their opinion.... You left your job to satisfy Her and show you love her, that is one of the best risk one can take for her partner but in your own case it turn out to be something else.

Call your wife and bring back the memory of love you have shared in the past, let her know how much you love her and how much you will like to make her happy for the rest of your life. Let her know the reasons you and her have to leave your life without external influence..

In other words, try and study the kind of person her father and mother is, try and know who she is closer to among them, and who she takes order from,try and know who she is closer with among her siblings. You can talk to anyone of them that is of more rational opinion but before that, speak to her one on one before going for second plan,.best of luck bro

From the moment you decided to quit your job before you secure a new one I began to question your ability to make good decisions.. You did not give any examples of situations where your wife chose her father's decision over yours and what was your position in that instance but since I don't really trust you to make good decisions I will advise that you continue being the toy boy that you are, don't have more than two kids and always obey the rules set by your father in-law so that you don't destroy his daughter's life with your stupidity..

My advice is that you have a very intimate discussion with your wife, observe her best moment. Then eloquently, tactfully and romantically hit the nail at the head. Insist on self dependent, that all you need from the parents is help to stand on your own. If you are business oriented, a loan can do, start something on your own. I believe you are not an island, you had class, course mates and friends in and out of schools. Rekindle your old friends, many sincere and genuine friends who are self employed can be of assistance.
Don't limit yourself to monthly job or salary Jobs. What's your wife's take, by the way what would she rely on after the demise of her parents? Ask her this question.
You can equally present the option of long journey in search of your destiny, if she truly loves and cherishes your union, should join in think tank in search of a lasting solution. But stop at nothing until you stand on your own, accept and receive assistance loan like from the parents, but reject every bait or trap of dependence.
Please maximize your first-class genus and brilliant brain into productive venture. Reject any form of dependent patronage, it destroys marriage and destinies. Take your wife into confidence about your plans, and frustration and your hurts.

My name is Dahe. I struggled to graduate from the university. I made first class. After that, I got a job that pays 120k per month. But there is this problem with the job. You work like the bull and hardly have time for yourself. I sometimes sleep in the office just to beat time. It's work all through from morning till night.

There is this girl that I fell in love with. She was 21 then while I was 25. She kept complaining that I always keep to myself at work without a bit of care for her. The complain and accusations kept on till I decided to listen to her. I only worked for two months and had just been paid for the second month.

I invited her over to my house in Abuja. She came, and that time she was on her final year. She came with so many books and by the look of things, she was prepared to stay longer.

As usual, workload took over every event. At midnight, my phone rang and it was my girl. I was afraid to explain anything but I told her I was coming home right away. I did. It was hell in my home. We managed to make love and slept.

The next morning, my MD called demanding my presence. My girl insisted that I call him back and ask for a break that day. I did not.

Rather, I begged her and went to work. I truly loved her and wanted to propose to her before she goes back to school. But to make her feel good and belonged, I called her on phone to break the news. I proposed to her.

My MD sent for me to ask that I work through the night again. I said no. He pleaded, but I refused. It was hard saying no, but I had no choice.

At home my girl had turned herself into a ready made wife and I regretted not proposing to her till now.
I did not go to work the next day due to the new development at home. You understand what I mean..
My MD called to vent his anger, but I was calm and my girl swore never return to me if I didn't resign from the work. I took her word and resigned.

I looked for another work to no avail. She kept servicing my bank account with lots of money. Her father is rich.
She called me and asked me to speak with her mom and after some weeks, the dad. They kept saying, "please take good care of our daughter, don't break her heart".

My girl gratuated with a 2.1 honours and I attended her graduation ceremony where I met her parents live. After some weeks, her father called me to ask me about my plans with her daughter, I did not hide anything, and he told me to act fast.

A month later, I called him to inform him of my plans to marry his daughter the coming Christmas, but only that money was the big issue. He told me to go on with my plans that he will take care of everything. I jumped at it and we wedded. He took care of everything starting from invitation card to reception.

He refurnished my house in Abuja and transferred three years rent sum to my landlord's account. He paid in advance. Our first child came, still I and my wife are jobless. My In-law takes care of us.

I wanted to be in charge of my home but the man kept interfering, making the daughter to take a contrary decision on crucial matters.

My wife no longer takes my advice, what do I do? I need your candid advice on this matter. Please help me!

MY QUESTION: Will you as a father leave your home to meddle on your daughter's own home? Why won't you allow her to build her home with her husband?

You finished your annoying story with a very stupid question. If you were in your father-inlaw's shoes and you pay all the bills would you not do the same? He who pays the piper dictates the tune.

In as much as i don't want to go back to the past, i have to revisit it as it was the bed rock of your folly. You quite your job because your girlfriend asked you to. Then you gladly accept your father-inlaw's "money gestures" till now because they are rich. You simply sold your man-hood to your wife's family. I'm sorry to say that you are a toy in their hands. More sorrow await you if you don't take a drastic action now. Nonsense angry angry (sorry a little bit pissed off)

How to correct your wrong? YOU NEED A JOB OR SOURCE OF LIVELY HOOD AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY!!!! By this you will regain your manhood. It will be tough with your wife used to her parents financing everything and you always being around the house. But you have to man up in order to avoid stories that touch tomorrow. I know what i am saying. I have much more to say but will stop here for now.

It talks about the troubles that would most often be the case in a home if the man isn't the majority provider.

Oh, that! I really think a woman's upbringing plays a huge part in this. Not every lady or family would see this as something to disrespect the man for. My two elder sisters are basically the providers in their homes. The cars, rent, children's fees etc. is all on them. Still, this family respects the men their siblings are married to all the time.

In short, if I want my sister to send even one kobo to me for any reason, she'll always refer me to her hubby. The house finances are majorly his to handle anyway.

No one's condition is permanent. No one knows what tomorrow holds.

Hmmmm! Most of the replies I get for expressing myself on this platform have left me confused. Thanks to the few people that truly understand my plight to offer advice. The mistake has been made and no one is above mistake. I take all the blame, but I'm sincerely tired of the whole thing. I want to quit. Finding a well paying job now is not very easy. I need divine intervention.

Your girl loves you i believe. Maybe she too is facing pressure from her dad. Have you told her what you feel?
