First, I want you to know that your marriage will succeed and not crash, Infact you'll look back in a few years from now and thank God for the wonderful gift of a wife.
However you must first make that decision.

More to the issues, I advise that you spend time praying together, when a couple pray together there's a way they are meshed together and aligned with each other(this will reduce friction and unnecessary hassles as this). If you've not tried that I suggest you should at least try, you could also add a devotional that you share together at intervals.

I also think that you should show her how much you love and value her by witholding your affection and concern until she sees the point.(ironic you might say).
Sometimes withdrawal and feigned disinterestedness could help you make the point. (if she shouts or blows up, act contrary to her expectations. Certainly don't exchange words with her. Just keep your cool and act unmoved. After a few days she may begin to wonder...

Above all I wish you well and you'll find joy in your home. Amen.

Didn't you notice her attitude when you were dating? I don't want to believe she just started exhibiting such all of a sudden.
As you said, maybe she's taking advantage of your regard for women knowing you would tolerate such rubbish. As much as I love your respect for women, I feel you should be a bit tougher because sadly, not all women should be treated with kid gloves. Some don't understand gentility, they see it as a sign of weakness.
Pray for her too.
It is well with you!
good point..,not all women should be treated wt kid gloves bt still show love.

Sit down and talk to her one day and figure out whats really going on. There is no smoke without fire. Look for a day when you can do things just the 2 of you, talk through everything.

Sometimes it could even be frustrations from work or school that get the best of her and then she ends up misplacing her anger. And if this is truly the case help her deal with her issues.

It doesnt help to just say im tired of this marriage and not do anything about it. Figure out where the root of the problem is and fix it.

Another thing, are you still doing the fun things you used to do when you were dating? is there still spark in the relationship? Do you guys still behave like you are a young couple? Do you still go out for dinner or long walks like before?

Re: My 2 Months Old Marriage Is Crashing - HELP ME by mya1: 7:38am On Apr 10, 2015
Op omitted a vital information in his original post and that's the fact that they are in a long distance marriage.

Multitask, from your description of your woman ,she's actually someone that loves attention and needs you to fawn over her.
The fact that you're in a long distance relationship means you have to do more to assure her of this.
Besides, your marriage is only a few months old hence you guys should still be in the honeymoon phase.

If you miss her calls, sincerely apologize before she even complains, keep her in the 'know' about your movements, let her be able to predict where you are most times.When she starts her tantrums, ( I know this is difficult) reassure her of your love and your pledge to be faithful.


Your wife is feeling insecure, firstly because you guys are not physically together and because your marriage is still very young ,hence the need for TLC.

What you need to do at this stage is to constantly assure her of your love for her.
Be the bigger person here.

As your marriage grows ,you guys would start getting used to eachother and tolerant of one another.

Note: First year of marriage is usually the most difficult, so there's (more often than not) always this stage of fed upness...Trust me, if you guys can get past this successfully, marriage could be sweet.

I liken marriage to a honeycomb- get past the bees and sit to enjoy the sweetness of the honey.

Don't give up dear!There's still a lot to be enjoyed in your marriage.

I am a fervent reader on Nairaland and i dont miss this forum in 1 day, i have seen people share their concerns here and a lot of people have contributed through their comments, though some are hillarious while others are on point. i will appreciate matured responses.

I did not marry a stranger to start with and its why i am very pained cuz i come here on nairaland and see how people get frustrated about their marriage based on cogent reasons but mine is different.

first of all, I got married in february and am already very tired of my wife, not because she isnt very sexy or good in bed as other may experienced but because my wife starts arguments from little things as little as why did u miss my call, even if its a BBM call thats dependent of network, after hours of begging i have to end up with uncountable "am sorry".

secondly, my wife find it very easy to engage in malice for days without bothering to reconcile, and i have to talk to her over again and make her see reason why such act is not good in marriage, for which she will later apologize and the next day or same day she is back again in another episode.

thirdly, every man love to be respected, when my wife starts her drama about missed call or other flimsy excuses, she starts talking to me like am her junior brother, calling me names and after noticing how mad i am with her, she will apologize but always repeat such act.

i feel the amount of love and attention she gets from me is too much and i am beginning to think i should make her understand what it feels like to have a frustrated marriage. though am yet to do that.

i honestly am not perfect but i have never used any harsh word while addressing her even when she is obviously wrong, i dont do so because i know the feeling when she use them for me. i wish i could anyway.

i grew up in a place where women are highly regarded and well treated and maybe its affecting me because i also help her do chores and i dont push all the house work to her as most men do.

i noticed i am always very unhappy and depressed the moment she comes up with this episodes and it may be because i love her so much and this is beginning to affect how i study and i might be forced to push her away first by not giving her attention as i used to.

My fellow Nairalanders, i respect ur opinion, hillarious ones and reasonable ones, marriage is not a bed of roses, i love my wife and i am not cheating on her, i am 100% married to her alone but her attitude is frustrating and i might have to leave her in the end. i hope i get lucky and this make FP so i can learn from experienced members before i take a decision, as we speak she has began the malice episode with me and if i dont apologize to her in 3 days, she is ready to go that far too.

naturally some women think childishly. Dey nag and u don't see any importance in it. If a married woman cannt handle herself how will she handle d children. I keep saying d result of bad parenting is what is affecting d larger society of today. Sometimes i hear some stu..pid advice parenting gives d children. So appalling.

Re: My 2 Months Old Marriage Is Crashing - HELP ME by Delary: 7:45am On Apr 10, 2015
Please, my brida, what u need is endurance. my wife who is here with me as am writing is just the same. she is the one encouraging me to write u. so she is aware of her miss behaviour. we have being together as friend from 2000 to 2013, when we got married and she started that atitute of disrespect and sees me and talks to me as a fool when she gets angry. what i do as solution is to ignor her and hope that she will change when the kids starts coming in; even when she did not change the kids will be a source of consolation. remember it was for beter or for worse. endure while u still tell her how u feel in all situtions hopping she will change with time.

Re: My 2 Months Old Marriage Is Crashing - HELP ME by ogianyo(m): 7:46am On Apr 10, 2015
It's too early to consider divorce. The first three years of a marriage are critical but the first year is the most critical.
Your wife is obviously childish and thinks you re still dating. She has read you as being slack because she sees how much her behaviour affects you. You need to get someone she respects to come have a talk with her. If that doesn't work then pull back a bit and let her taste a bit of her own pill.whatever you do don't get physical with her.the threat of getting physical is more powerful than the actual beating up. Develop new interests to keep you occupied on your own. Her malice will die if you don't acknowledged it. You take her too seriously. Pull back a bit.observe from that distance. As she tests your determination and notices your new strength, she will start a painful process of adjustment but she will continue to be the shrew she obviously is if you continue this your nice guy behaviour

momodub:
was she like this when you guys were dating

Honestly, this is not about being holier than thou thing: Any courtship that does not see sex-outside-marriage as very wrong mostly end up this way! Ask me: does a client pay attention to the wife-material in a prostitute? Sex before marriage makes all things emotional and blinds the eyes of the parties involved. The only issue almost always occuring in sex-courtship thing is bed-incompatibility, and once this is not there, NOTHING else will matter until 'marriage' starts.

If you check throughout the World,marriages are now breaking and crashing in days and the curve shows the relationship with this social menace.

Re: My 2 Months Old Marriage Is Crashing - HELP ME by Nobody: 7:51am On Apr 10, 2015
OP, You are the cause of your problem. You stated that you spent time on a Nairaland section every day. Who does that ?

You said you missed your wife calls, and and I ask you. Do you always call back for EVERY missed call ?

Again you stated that she makes trouble for every little issue. Dont you know that's women's way of showing their weaknesses ? No husband responds to wife minor bickering these days. Keep them quiet and they go crazy and stop. Respond to them and your problem continues.

Best formula which works for a woman like your wife is; When she raises troublesome issue, ignore that and ask her silly question like; Do you believe Enyimba can play better than Chelsea sometimes ? Add issues like, Why did we even elect this Buhari sef, he cant fix electricity. Your wife will get the message if it persists.

Now lastly, marriages do not fail, we fail marriages. Cos we expected perfection from a humanly constituted unnatural union of diverse personalities. Na today your woman start to show these signs ? Dont you think these acts are magnified in your eyes because your love for her is dimished by that side chic you admire outside your marriage ? Bite me.

The first Three month of marriage is usually stormy....bear it and see..she will adjust but she doesn't after these period...be a little hard on her..she will change..i am not an advocate of un happy marriage..if things are not working and you have tried your best..let the person go so that you both will be happy...God hate divorce but what do we do? some people are just unmanageable .
