He's highly intelligent which is a great turn on for me in any relationship,we never dated,but we were good friends!
The issue of us getting married was as a result of making his intention known to my people which they accepted all cos he was a good guy whom my mum said he knows he will never treat me wrong!
Yes,i accepted to marry him not for love cos all through our friendship i never see us as lovers but i thought i will overcome all the anxieties and will grow to love him as we grow together(what my mum made me understand)now
I have been struggling with feelings of loving him and its isnt just adding up.
This right here is the genesis of the problem.l thought even if a suitor approach a girl's parents,the parents will ask if the suitor has spoken to their daughter or tell the suitor to go and talk to their daughter and also ask their daughter in private if she agrees and accept the suitor's marriage proposal.

You could have opened up to him totally from the beginning about this long before the wedding.As it is now you have got to open up to him.Tell him because you are in it together with him.

You are the cause of your problem, Reason; The dated a guy you love for Good 15yrs yet you could not marry him because you were forced and married to another guy; The fact is, you forget to let go of your old experienced with your boyfriend, so i advice you face the reality as married woman and stand by the oath you took on the Altar. Replicate the love your husband has been given you.

I had the same experience for 24 long years with a woman who was “madly in Love” but now claims to have no emotional attachment to me. The worse part was that she won’t leave my house so I could get on with my life. I couldn’t throw her out because she is the mother of my children. No sex, no affection, we were not sleeping in the same bedroom, we never had any discussion as a couple.

We used to go to church together, and from the outside it looked as if we were an ideal couple. Only my children knew what was happening in our home.

I am the breadwinner even though I registered her to study law, sponsored her law education and today she is a lawyer. I bought two cars fir her and did many many things for her. She had the audacity to open her mouth to tell me she never loved me. I asked her, so why did you marry me? She said, “Can’t you marry somebody you don’t love?” That was about six years ago. She said the only person she ever loved was a fellow youth corper she met while doing her youth service, before I met her. She wanted to continue with the guy after youth service, but the guy had other plans and told her to move on.

When I met her, she was struggling in life but I offered to help her since I had a very good job and earning a fantastic salary. Just last December, she told me she was traveling to see her people and that was the last time I saw her. I understand she has a job at her place, but her things are still in my place. Her people have not called me to ask anything.

Yes,have been dating my bf for (15yrs)he was my first nd the only one have ever loved,our problem started when my dad said he witnessed where exhibited an unruly characters to some elders and also cos of the friends he moves with recently as at then and that he wasnt comfortable with our relationship (which i pleaded and made him understand everyone deserves another chance but cos how principled my dad was he insisted he won't consent to our union)
To be candid,this is the guy have share all my life with,he's all i wanted in a man but my dad opinion ruined our relationship.

I think seperation from my husband is all i need just for clarity sake but honestly,the more i try to make the marriage work the more i drift away from him and I dont know how to go about it.

I have visited two marriage counsellors without informing my husband all in my effort to work things but not yielding results as expected

Then is high time you walk away , before one of you looses his or life.
Talk to him why you both have to let go of each other. Marriage can never be built on a compromise. If you don't love someone there is no two ways about it.Your happinesses are worth more than a mere marriage.
Re: Married But I'm Not Connected With My Husband, Hence I'm Depressed by efficiencie(m): 11:20am On Feb 23, 2020
@Girlwhocares love is not an emotion...love is a commitment to sacrifice your convenience for the good of someone who may be less deserving. Your husband is already doing this despite your terrible attitude. Your husband is already being a beacon of hope in your marriage whilst you are busy trying to put out the light...you should ditch your emotions, for they are tricky and treacherous and make a commitment to fight for your marriage. Try to be good to your husband, even if it feels uncomfortable. Try to be around your husband even if it feels irritating. Try to be your husband's solace in bed daily even if you have to endure it...Lastly, pray to the founder of the first marriage to save your marriage. Seek counsel. Go for deliverance prayers. Jesus loved us so much that whilst we were yet terrible hurtful sinners, He died for us. Jesus was committed to sacrificing His convenience for our good even when we were less deserving...you should do the same for your husband or you might face even dire consequences!

Hmmm. I empathize with you. Can you take some time to fast and possibly pray in the midnight and cry to the Most High God for deliverance. Your past is affecting your present and if you don't act fast, it would destroy your future.
I know you are a depressed patient, pls do what I have you without delay. God of Heavens would deliver you in Jesus precious name.

@Girlwhocares, here is a story quite similar to what you are saying but here there are more details. Clearly the lady in question here never committed herself to be in a marriage and after wrecking havoc in another man's life she vanishes. I wonder how people live like this and never believe retribution is waiting somewhere in the future for them!

Yes,I accept my mistake for going into the marriage when i knew i was not not totally into him but i was made to believe love wasnt enough and one can grow in feelings and love in marriage.

Love isn’t enough... I was crazy in love with my wife... and believed she was crazy I love with me too... now we are working on the official divorce.. so definitely in the scheme of things in marriage, love is no enough

All u need just do is turn things around by creating more time for ur hubby, there must be open communication if u really want ur union to excel. Remember u cant find a perfect man/woman rather u can build and create a perfect man/woman all u need do is try to be more closer with him by making him ur best friend from their the fondness will start growing then every other things will follow. This is just the first step...Good luck

these are what you face when you marry a man you don't love or have connections with maybe as a result of pressure or age or Making do with the available option. That's why I pity Ladies who say they can marry a man they don't love as long as the man loves them.

You know you could have asked google right but anyway since you asked here already, Open marriage is when a married couple are seeing or dating other people and each person in the marriage is aware of it and ok with it but they are still married.

You married the brother who was ready to take care of your bills right? Because the one you wanted was not serious, ready and wealthy. Hahahahah. I assume things are not too well with that man again so you are ready to bounce.

I hope that brother bursting your head now is really interested in you and will take your child too.

You never loved that man, it did not just start today. You knew but because of comfort and money. You decided to try your luck and see if the love will grow.

You are making no effort so why not just divorce, separate...just leave and seek your happiness.

To my fellow guys, don't ever get swindled in the name of love. Nothing is real!
Just want to know, why exactly do some of you think everything in life for a woman is centered around wealth or money.

Untill men stop thinking all they have to offer that makes them useful is money and women stop thinking their bodies can get them what they want, then divorce rates are still a joke.

You needed mature advice from a married woman, well here it is: work on it! Love is a decision. Begin a romantic affair with each other. Send dirty jokes and texts to each other. Try and become more playful with each other. Make jokes, watch funny movies, share the same room, kiss in the living room. Go out together without your children. Save this response; there is a big chance that you'll come to regret it, if you continue like this. He may get fed-up with living a life without love and find someone else. You said he tries to please you. Ask him what will please him too and try. Don't expect love to just happen. Ignite an ember and fan the flames. Work on your marriage o. Work on it

Hoping this is not super story as I hate wasting comment. Fact is you are being really honest with yourself.

You should never have brought a child into this, but sadly mistake made already. If you are able to stand on your feet now, your parents opinion matter less, do yourself and this man a favor and leave the loveless union. Love can't be forced.

Please help me, I'm loosing my sanity everyday!
I'm scared to open up to friends and families because of what they will think or how disappointed or bad I will make them feel, also I'm afraid people will be judgemental about my actions.

I'm not physically and emotional connected with my husband which is affecting our marriage and my well-being, we live as co-tenant, we hardly have any conversation, we do things differently, we share different rooms, no sex for the past 3 years! Even during courtship and the fist two years of marriage I can account for days we were intimate.

Things are fallen out of place everyday, we have a child together who will be 4yrs and the thought of having another child has not crossed my mind.

I get irritated at everything, I hardly show appreciation towards him even if it means he has done his best, which later i will find myself guilty and try to make up but the spark and connection isn't just there.

Most times, I have a non-challant attitude towards him and everything he does to make me happy.

I feel lonely, bored and incomplete even when I'm 90% sure my husband loves me and always ready to make me happy.

I feel awkward communicating my feelings and thoughts to him because I know I might flare up with anger even when he hasn't done or said anything to warrant it.

Please I have come to this faceless forum to pour out my mind, my heart is heavy, I need someone to talk to, I'm afraid my personal intention of walking out this marriage even when my husband hasn't done anything to deserve this might backfire and has its negative effect on our child.

I honestly don't need anyone to insult me please as I'm going through a lot. All i need is mature married wo(men) opinions

Thank you for your time.

Are both of you Christians, if yes, maybe you should attempt praying regularly together first. It might be a first step in bringing yourselves closer together.

Woman! Your whatsapp messages is the answer why you are not so into your marriage.

Leave the man if you are not into the marriage and let your husband find the person that will be into him.

The moment you leave, several women are ready to take your place.

Do not, i repeat do not kill your husband.

People like you are those who listen to those feminists people that it is shameful to leave a marriage as divorcee but honorable to leave as widow because society pities widows.

If i were your husband, i will never eat your food alone. We must either be eating it together, or with your child you have for me.

Yet, another.

Madam, there is nothing anyone on here (a faceless forum) can advise you that'd matter any, or have any meaningful impact on your sham marriage because, from the get-go, you knew love was non-existent amongst anything else that must have attracted him to you.

You knew how you felt about him during courtship, into marriage, and up until now. I'm very certain that the only thing that had changed has been a progression in how much he disgusts you.

I feel so sorry for the poor naive man. He is indeed naive and a mugu. If he wasn't the previous and the latter, trust me when I say, even someone who was blind, deaf and mute, would be just too sensitive to the much hate you have and exhibit for this poor man.

On a side note, does anyone notice how relationships are gradually losing everything relationship about them?

The good old heart2heart or tete a tete between lovers and couples is being daily trashed on the alter of social media, where people now come to bare their minds on issues bordering on their lives and well beings, while hoping to get advised or validation from complete strangers who have zero to no idea how it truly seats with them on the whole.

Everything for the life just dey get k-leg dey go anyhow...

Na wa





This kind of feelings only comes when you know the man is a chronic cheat.
But if not its not Norma.

Parental pressure 90% of the time. Especially if the parents are wealthy like in her case. You don't go against daddy and mommy or they will cut you off kinda situation. OP was born with a silver spoon so it is not about the man's money.
