In any tale of love or marriage, it is always advisable to hear the second side as well before a well rational judgment is pronounced 1 Like |

do not quit your marriage because your inlaws are coming for help.marriage is like a package,what you see inside,is what is for you.stay put,do what you can,and leave the rest after all,if they were dangote or indimi's it is you that would've still enjoyed.carry your cross,lad . 3 Likes |

joa2013:remember that game on android RUN. don't divorce her, just run, when your wife brain reset, she will choose who to marry between you and her family. Abandon her for like a year, if she love you for real, she will become normal again and stop involving family in marriage. Most women behaving this way are clean and young women who endup marrying their 1st love, they lack experience about marriage |

joa2013: Your wife's family has formed an unhealthy circle around you. - the young fellow arrives town without informing you, calls for you to come pick him (are you his driver?), you shun him and your wife powers abusive txts (is that how she's brought up? Who's in charge Here!?), she informs his father who then calls you with more abusive language...(what do they take you for - their factory worker or domestic hand?). Your father inlaw has not right calling you when he did not inform you earlier that his child was heading to your station. A lot also depends on how you respond to their stupidity. Be stern and call his bluff. You should focus on breaking this circle, which they take as the norm because you have allowed certain patterns to be established earlier. Call your wife first and establish a new family order that accommodates only you two and your children, if any. Declare that you don't want to relate directly with her people, that should be her duty as relating with your own family is your duty. Finally bare your mind to her that failure to curb the current unhealthy pattern of interference in your family life can hurt your marriage to her. Abeg, just to complete our knowledge and learning....pls is that your wife from Mbaise or anywhere in Imo State? Cos that's how they behave 2 Likes |

Mr man, you are the one troubling and driving yourself crazy for not being able to know where your problem is coming from. First; Your wife didn't do anything to warrant a divorce, she didn't cheat, disrespect or commit any abomination. We should sometime view things from different angles before taking actions, you know how difficult it is for a woman to stop her family members from coming close to her husband, she MIGHT not be happy with what they are doing, but in a bid to stop them will have it look like she's pushing them away from you and might create problems. So I ask "HAVE YOU DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH YOUR WIFE?" The rate of entitlement mentality from wives and their families is something else in Nigeria. Reason why we should be wise and careful before getting married. Stop running around, discuss this issue with your wife, if she's a good woman, she'll understand you and do whatever it'll take to keep you happy and relaxed by sketching a strategy with you, but if she tries to give attitude about your complaint, then you'll have to go rude and aggressive to let her know what is as stake(Divorce, for her to marry her family members so that you'll have peace). Discuss with her first. |

I'm not sure if there is anything more irritating than when a person narrates a complex marital problem and people respond with "sit him/her down and discuss it" It's oftentimes better not to comment than to say what is sooo blindingly obvious. Is there any man or woman in OP's shoes who would not have made their feelings known to their spouse before coming to an anonymous forum to cry out? It's even OK if you provide a brilliant structure to such discussion that the complainant may not have thought of but no, it ends with "discuss it" We are not talking of boyfriend and girlfriend matter but marriage! donstan18: 2 Likes |

Justhere:I agree with what you said except the bolded ones, the wife is not different from her family members, its a family thing based on the way they are brought up. In the part of divorce its always a last resort especially when one of the parties does not want to shift grounds and life is under threat. So if he is facing any of this, better he comes out from this alive than die in it. 1 Like |

Was it on purpose that you ignored what he recounted about the help he has given to his wife and her family so far(knowing that he would have done much more but space will not allow him itemise them all)? Or your eyes just went straight to a statement he made to his wife which is a normal response to their excessive demands and expectations from him? peacengine: |

I want to laugh but I don't know how to.. I don't even know how to start advising you. I think you have given them too much leverage to misbehave for a very long time, you have condoned rubbish right from inception and it has chocked you. Now let me tell you something, to get some powers, you must be able to take risks, you have worked your transfer to Abuja, which is a very good step. The first step is to hold your wife and deal with her, threaten her you'll divorce her if she ever mention her family problems to you inLol clear terms, and whenever she tries to, shut her and flare up, don't talk to her or Eat her food, just go on with your work and business of she calls you at work, don't pick, ignore her for like a week. If the family calls, don't pick of they send u an abusive message, draft a very brutal and more abusive message and fire back at them, insult them very well, insult their grand father and great grand father, tell them to go work with their plastic hands, tell them their father is irresponsible that they should stop begging you for money If you can do this for like a month or two, they will know you're not for jokes, maybe you have been too accommodating, you need to draw this line very strongly. Let Met tell you, sometimes you need war to stop war, diplomacy don't solve problems sometimes, gentility is sometimes taken to be Stupidity. Take your destiny in your hands, fight back in a very decisive way and all of them will be at your mercy. Use your head 4 Likes |

joa2013:Some people can be so stupid,so the brothers are not ashamed being taken care of by a fellow man?who even goes to someone's house unannounced?my kid sister always tells me she is coming when ever she wants to even though I'm not married,not because I will say no but because she needs to tell me.i have never asked my in-law who lives abroad money even when he asked me if I needed a particular car I said yes and never asked for it again because I'm actually not in need of it.and he talks about it to his friends that his wife's family never ask him for anything..he gives us gifts during Xmas and what ever it is we always call to thank him,big or small. When I get married,my husband will respect my father and my father will respect my husband..if my father disrespects my husband and after speaking to him he doesn't change then he wouldn't see me in that house again and if my husband does same we will go home and trash it out.anybody that disrespects my husband will have to have to do without me forever. Now you need to talk to your wife,if her mother or any of her relatives are staying with her they all need to go and that if you ever hear you family matter outside the marriage will come to an end..again none of her family members should ever ask you for money..just give her what you feel will be enough for her and the kids because she is working also and for about the brothers,let them go and get something doing before the important girls and you start taking care of them all. What ever you say goes from now on and if she refuses then you send her out,what nonsense is that?if it means not going to her family house for years then so be it because that is where they will waiting for you to pay you back for all they feel you did to them..I want to commend you for not allowing the brother come to your house,when she finishes wondering in Abuja let him go back to where ever he came from.and even your wife should not come to Abuja because thesame thing that made you run away from Lagos will come u again. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Do not divorce your wife as it is not right with GOD. Talk to your wife of the need to leave out her family from yours if you have one. make your wife wise |

This of course can only happen in Africa! But seriously divorcé is not just the next option and it looks like you have not handled the issue well in d first place that's why you had to run! You have also not been firm, you have allowed them to push you around in d beginning that's why it is difficultly for you to deal decisively with the situation! You need to begin to do things differently by first calling your wife and giving her INSTRUCTIONS on what you want and what u don't and the consequences of doing what u don't want! Am sure she will not want to use her hand to destroy her marriage. 1 Like |

joa2013:Possibly, you and/or your wife are Igbo. It is not about tribal profiling but this seems so rampant amidst the Igbos. All siblings of the wives, especially, wanting to make it (selfishly) thru their ready-made in-laws. Sir, I am sorry to hurt you but it seems your wife does not love you really or maybe she cherish her family more than the home you were supposed to build together. Partly, it might be your fault. It might be that you are "sissy" in nature; easily jiltery when threatened or this type with excessively caring hearts without showing your "manly" fist. I have some light questions. Where are your parents? If alive especially your mum, good. Did you get their approvals before getting married especially from your dad if he was alive during ur marriage "stuffs" because elderly men are mostly keen to see this kind of end from its beginning and would have advised you appropriately. I feel your pain but dear brace up and cut off this crap. Treat your woman like a woman and draw your lines and tell her the rules of the new game and the severe consequences of not abiding strictly to rules. If she still play pranks with ur feelings then sorry, she is not your wife. Fucking separate from her and share her a bit of the miseries you have suffered all this long in isolation. Be tough and the open minded at the same time. I can write forever on this kind of topics. Let me rest it here.... God wis with you. 3 Likes |
