Save a husband's marriage by advising him maturely

MY wife I and have been married for five years now and we actually dated for six years. All this while I never hit her, no matter what happens, but I don’t know what came over me, I hit a few weeks ago and can’t forgive myself.

We were involved in a heated argument and though I had never seen her react the way she did, all of a sudden I lost my temper and slapped her in the face and used some terrific words against her; since then she has asked for some space. I would never hurt her, she is the best thing that ever happened to me and I love her and can’t live without her.

She said she has forgiven me but I can tell by the way she looks at me that she has lost some love for me. This hurts me the most. How can I make this up to her? I told her that this would never happen again, begging her not to leave me, that I was sorry and loved her with all my heart. She said she loves me and was not going to leave me but she needed some space.

Please I really need advice from anyone who has had a similar experience or anyone out there, who has an idea for me on how to make it up to her, or will our marriage be like this forever? I cannot bear this any longer.

b patient

buy her a car

Buy her a car then Slap her again... Nothing dey happen

Just give her a little time..she would come out of her she'll come out o her shell eventually...Though getting her gifts and other things would hasten the process though...

You must have learned some lessons, she's your wife not your child and slapping her is not a way of correction. Everybody deserves a second chance but when she gives it to you don't mess with it ...

Yes

The man that marries a good woman is promised a long life.....ur wife dey jejely u dey nack her with ur hand instead of the other way round...

hahahaha i was once in dis situation and she needed space.....ur wife still loves u she just need to regain her mind due to dat shock.. thats women 4 u, they are easily hurt emmotionally. well 4 beta 4 worse they say,so marriage should not be smooth at all times.
Giv her some space sha, but make e no pass dat day oo then go pamper am well well and try and devote ur time to pleasin her dat week.
And asure her it wont happen again.


But if i may ask, WHAT HAPPENED TO WALKING AWAY PART?...works 4 me and my GF nowadays (cos d only day i hit her i was so mad at myself i lost concertration dat whole day i realy hate hittin women so took that bold step of always walkin away)

Jeeeezzzz!!!


There are lots of mad people roaming in this nairaland... this man needs advice from mature minds but some silly trolls decides to give silly and senseless advice..


@op... I'm sure you've learnt your lesson well. give her time, she ll come around. In the main time, show her more love. Buy little gifts for her, always let her know how terrible you feel about what happened....

u should have steered clear the moment u saw she was in NAGGING MODE that's what men do .but since the deed has been done just buy her an iPhone 6 and a car,take her on a shopping spree and everything will be normal. BUT REMEMBER DONT TRY THAT AGAIN

Dude, she's ur wife. Where the hell is she going to? If the space sef too much, slap her some more.

All these 21st century ladies thinking gender equality is applicable at home. A lady who argues with hubby till he's so not conscious of his acts needs a factory reset slap.

why can't you argue verbally.... Did u have to go physical... the deed has been done there's nothing nairaland users can do, they were not there when you went physical....

Hmmm

Dear OP,

I know you had no intention to hurt your wife and I also know she knows you had no intention of hurting her. We know how women are, some of them are quick to run their mouths and this makes us hit them most times.

I am happy you are ready to learn from your mistakes. Women are to be cared for and loved, hitting them is something we as men should never do no matter what the circumstances are.

I believe she is just shocked that you hit her for the first time in 5years and she is trying to come out from that shock. It's good to give her sometime, but you need to use this opportunity to step up your romantic game.

I would advise you to start doing things you haven't done in a while. Always come home with a treat and some gifts, send some love text messages while at work and always try to put a smile on her face. Trust me, she will definitely come out of it and apologize for provoking you to hit her.

My parents fight and have small quarrels and they always get back together like nothing happened.

---

if she leaves him because of this one fight, it means she never loved him

and the man should give her some space like she requested things will definately cool down.

You slapped your wife , why u no go slap man like you anytime una argue make them beat the hell out of you. Men proving to be superior in abnormal way...anyway back to the matter,don't give her too much space, shower her with gifts,make her realise you are sorry, beg in a way that will lead to lovemaking ....she will definately get over it, mind you, dont let it repeat itself...

The story is from guardian news? So I guess the person who needs advice isn't here ...lemme keep my advice jare.

Continue to beg her. Go down on your knees and beg her to find a place in her heart to forgive and forget.

Learn from BasketMouth in that regard! Allow her 2 shout while u keep quiet count 5 seconds after sh is done then shout and say some gibberish! Then u leave d house If the topic nah about money, make ur gibberish about one unrelated topic,and zoom out chikena! She go begin dey wonder wetin concern d talk wit wetin u dey yarn u don end d feud b dat

Now, my advice is 4 d nxt tym, cos dis time na 4 GOBE u dey so! Just give her space...buh make e no pass 1-2days, b4 dah old bf wey never hit am b4 go surface. Daz how devil works mehn!

u no sabi fu.cck? na the only thing wey go reset her brain.

Inform her brother what you did to his sister .... Then permit him to give you two deserved dirty slaps. You will eventually win back her love ....

minus shopping spree

BEG HER!

BEEEEEEEG!

NO DO AM AGAIN OOOOOOOO!

You have been advised.

Sodium.

she verbally abused u

U physically abused her..

U guys are even jore

Dude.. U need some space too.

Don't create that space, try all possible best to make her smile again. You must av done something worst than the slap, if u have kids let the kids appoligIze on ur behalf or just get someone to appologize on ur behalf. Treat your woman right and at each arguments PLS make fun with it

She must still be shocked and emotionally down... I don't blame her. .

You guys exchanged words together, why raise your hands? Cos you feel you're stronger? No respect whatsoever.

You know the stuffs she loves, do those.. she'll come around.. and please don't try it again.. she's not a child..

What nagging mode? Didn't you see where the man said that he said terrible words to her too? But decided involve his physical strength...
I wonder how couples say terrible things to themselves though .. words spoken can't be taken back, would always linger...
@iphone and car

You have done the damage already. It goes a long way to show u cnt control your anger. No matter what your wife does to you, u shouldnt lay your hands on her, instead just take a stroll or go outside or keep quiet:Thats why u a man. She will forever remember the slap and the love she had for will never be the same no matter how much you spend and the love you show, you have already created a dark spot.. Just being nice and caring to her and avoiding arguments will help reduce the hurt for the main time but it cant eliminate it. It
