I Thought I Could Change Him To Be A Better Man by Diamond1605(f): 5:09am On Jul 30
My husband is a good man, he cares for me and the kids. I know he loves us but I’m tired of his cheating ways.

He beats me at any slight provocation, calls me names like stupid, useless, a person without life. I have caught him cheating numerous times and the painful thing is I can’t cheat on him because it is irritating and I love him.

Since last year my husband has been taking hard drugs like (Colo) I have done everything possible to help him stop but none of it works. I have prayed, begged, involved his parents, fought him, volunteered to help him, but it seems nothing is working.

I don’t have friends to talk to, I can’t talk to my family about it because it means I’m putting my husband out.

I have spoken to him numerous times about this issue, he said he is working on it but I can’t see any improvement. He complained last week that all I do is to fight him so I took a step back only for it to get worse.

I have two beautiful children, a girl and a boy. And I don’t want my kids to see all this.

I believe I have supported him as his wife, friend and partner. Omo the story is just too long there are so many things he has done to me but above all he is a good man and I want him to be better. I’m just scared, I don’t trust him anymore. He sleeps with different women and whenever he takes Colo, he acts differently that I’m beginning to fear that he might hurt himself or me and the kids.

Please I really want to make this work, so I need your advise and tips on how to stop him from all these.

PS: we are all matured here, you don’t have to insult me or my husband before you pass your point across. Thank you all

Be very clean, stay quiet, wear red pant and bra to bed and satisfy him very well! You have a good man and good men are scarce nowadays so hold on tight to your good man. Continue to endure and one day you will be rewarded with a long marriage, your own family and the glorious title of Mrs so and so! Just hold on!

Na wa..

I'm speechless indeed...

But then again, what's yours will always be yours, meaning he'll definitely come back to your arms someday no matter how long it may take . ......A time will come when your husband will realize it's cold outside and that it's only his wife and kids at home that can save him from the harshness of life,and not the ones he's been frolicking with outside.....

Las las,My dear fellow men, nothing good comes out of cheating....You may think you're enjoying yourself right now by flirting with different women,but lemme tell you this for free --'That there's no benefit in it,apart from unnecessary spendings and regrets at last.......Peace be unto us all🙏

No I’m not, I just don’t how to cheat

And besides how can you allow two men to sleep with you at the same time

That is totally irritating and unacceptable. There are women who doesn’t cheat on your husband.

You think cheating on him is the only solution in this situation that is why I asked if you are even a human being at all. undecided

I never for once thought of cheating on my husband. Something I did not do when I was single, why will I want to do it now?

Why not divorce him?
Since you know he's chronically womanising.
Or are you waiting till the day he infects you with HPV a virus that causes cervical cancer in women and penis cancer in men; or HIV or any of these other terribly nasty STDS?
Madam,you have tried your best and since he refused to change, divorce him.
You should have noticed negative traits in him before you married him.
This is exactly why courtship is very important for intending couples, because it gives ample opportunity to study your partner well and know the type of person he or she is.
No matter how long the mask is worn,it must drop to reveal the real person.
Moreover no man who genuinely loves his wife will cheat on her, not with one woman but multiple women.
And you say he loves you?
Lol!
Madam, stop making EXCUSES for your husband and take your life back.
This habit of making excuses in women is exactly why many of them are often beaten to death or seriously maimed in abusive marriages and relationships.
It's only a tree that is informed of its imminent death and it still remains standing.
Madam, you are not a tree.
Good luck.

Which good man beats his wife at every slight provocation or have we suddenly lost the meaning of a good man?

Why are you covering his ass when he doesn't value you?


Are you fully dependent on him? All I see is a dependent woman making excuses for an abusive adult.

No one asked you to cheat on him so you don't have to bring that into the topic, real men don't beat their women or cheat in their faces so please stop misusing the term "a good man" it's a slap to those real and good men out there.

Is it until he beats you to death that you would find your square root?

Besides, all I see here is a woman trying to be heroic. What happens to his side of the story? Everyone is a Saint in their story until we hear the full gist.

He beats you, calls you names yet you are still there. Omo the story no clear because in this time and age that domestic is frowned on you are still there making excuses.
The Lord is your strength 💪!!!

I keep saying it, as a woman, if your partner takes drugs and/or is involved in sports betting, you are not yet serious about your life..

No, I won't insult your husband because he has showed his hands as to what he wants to be. It is you OP that should protect your life and children.

You want to raise your kids in a home where the head is a chronic drugs user and physically and orally violent. What this will do is to shape your son to think it is normal, it will make your daughter that us how men show love and she will seek a man like him in a partner.

May Obatala be with you

How is he a good man?

After a little investigation, it seems ScotHavarth and Diamond1605 are estranged couple who come to NL to vent their disgust with each other.

I advise both of you to take your issues off SM. There's no solution here, just people making comments to complicate your issues further. Both of you have wronged each other. You need to be honest with your feelings and actions towards each other. Get family, friends and leaders to intervene and accept whatever genuine attempts they recommend. Think of your kids.

I hope God will save your marriage

Better leave with your kids before he kills you all after taking Colo!

Some women love bad guys! I mean guys on Colo that has no regard for them and beats them.

To them "he's a good man"!

No go report to the authorities before he kills you!

I don't have a RIP to offer when you die!

I'm trying to understand what you meant by ''He is a good man''

When you hear a woman defending his cheating, drug addicted, gambling, arm roobery husband even in bad behavior that are harmful to herself and children like this, just know is a man who provides everything for her, like came to rescue her and her family members from poverty. otherwise, no serious minded woman will.



@op, from your writeup, you don't need any advice but I'm only worried for your children.

I pray God protect them from the toxic lifestyle happening there.
As for you, when you're ready, we will know
