When he drinks so much like that just carry him and go and bury him and all problems solved.
Or when he's drunk, find one recreational substance, pour overdose of it in his drink, he will sleep and never wake up. Case closed. 2 Likes |

Babe1994: Hi
I’m a girl in her late 20s, I live abroad was born here but spent most of my schooling years in Nigeria. I came back to do university. I’ve been with a guy now for 7 years who hasn’t paid my bride price properly due to the fact he did an arangee marriage and the divorce process is taking too long. I got with him in my early 20s.. and have a child with him. I believed in him but now I’m at the point where I’m honestly frustrated and tired. I really don’t know who to run to to express myself. We are living together but I really want to run away and start my life afresh but I want to be told the truth. I really want to be married and content, It feels like this guy has reduced me to nothing. Im so ashamed of my situation with him, it’s like I’ve disgraced myself and my family. I’m going to try and list out all the issues we’ve been facing.
1. He’s very confused about his career path. One minute he’s a musician.. then he wants to be a painter.. then he wants to be chef. This is a man in his late 30s
2. He has anger issues. We have tussled on some occasions and he threatens to beat me when he’s angry but so far he hasn’t
3. He has addictions. Betting drinking smoking. To the point where he drank so much that he almost killed himself . I was honestly fooled by the fact that he was a worker in the church and I “believed” I could change him. Young and dumb I guess.
4. Cannot communicate properly. To the point we have not had a proper conversation in almost 2 months but we are living together. I feel so lonely and stuck.
5. He insults me so bad to the point where I question myself.
6. He is not very hardworking and I don’t gel well with his family and friends.
7. None of his family ever talk about marriage or paying my bride price. All they ever ask is when I’m having another child for him. They have reduced me to nothing and I can’t blame them.
I will say that when I’m angry I can be verbally abusive also. He also claims that I’m too reserved and isolated. I feel like I’ve been pushed to the wall and I can’t recognise myself.
I really want to run away.. and start afresh. Where will I start from? I have a son how easy will it be to find love again? All the love I have for this man has gone..I don’t know if it can be rectified. He has really seen me finish.
Thank you .

A man will only stay with you if he’s benefitting in some way even though he hates you. Check below on what it is. Once he finds a replacement you are gone, but most are too lazy to look for a replacement and will stay even though their partner is unhappy.

Re: Tired Of My Child’s Dad by Emmexguy123: 1:16pm On Aug 13, 2023 |
Just run away from him now that age is still in your favor.
Since the love you have for him is dead and cannot be rectified because of everything about him, don't waste your time with him anymore because it can only gets worse than you are seeing now.
Your greatest mistake which is not a mistake to some people is allowing him to have you completely without doing the right thing either paying your bride price or introduction to your people depending on your traditions.
As for me, I suggest strongly that you should go. Someone out there is waiting for you with the heart full of true love and feelings despite what happened before he found you. Don't waste time anymore. All you have to do is to respect yourself, be yourself, know what you are supposed to do and always do the right ones. Above all, be that wife material every good man is praying for and you will realize that everything happens for a reason. |

You sold your brain due to Good sex, and he cannot maintain that you want to opt-out.

I'll keep it simple, your relationship with this man cannot bring you happiness unless the guy has some sort of rebirth/ transformation which we know will not happen.
You live in the UK, so you have no excuse to say you cannot start over again and to be playing the sympathy card of being a single parent.

Re: Tired Of My Child’s Dad by Jewessgratitud3: 1:25pm On Aug 13, 2023 |
Aunty, all these things you're trying to point out to appear innocent and oblivious of his behavior are all medicine after death. I put it to you that you knew half of the time that he was not the responsible type but because you were taken over by your desires for him, you went ahead to open your legs and got pregnant for him. And please don't even form novice here by saying you were blinded by the fact that he was a church worker. You and I know that no real born again christian brother will have sex with you to the point of getting you pregnant unless we want to deceive ourselves. Just accept your mistakes and look for solutions.
I'm sure if someone tried to tell you then that you should avoid premarital sex, you'll be like they are old school. Now see what you've gotten yourself into. And thats why the family dont regard you because they believe you gave yourself so cheap. You can't blame them.
My advice to you. Since he has not paid your dowry, you'll be doing yourself more harm than good with your continued stay there and spoil your chances of ever getting married properly. So it is better you leave his son with him, get a place if you can and move in. Look for a job with your certificate and save until you're financially stable. Then you can bring your child back ( if you so wish) because if you go with your baby, you're going to get stuck except your family members are willing to help you look after him and take care of his feeding while you get your bearing. Otherwise, leave him with his father. Maybe that will even make him sit up and get something doing to cater for his responsibility.
Don't make the mistake of moving with that child. Ask single mothers, they'll tell you better. 2 Likes 1 Share |
