Sotland: In trying to tell the OP to 'forgive' her husband and resolve the issue, don't make light of her pains please. I also do not know the wedding vows you are talking about. I see you mention Christian that's why I am quoting you. You are the bigger hypocrite because you know what the husband did is wrong on all fronts. Except you are using the Nigerian Bible, you would acknowledge that the husband broke his vows by committing adultery. 16 Likes |

Graxie: This bitterness is very unbecoming of someone who has 'Jesus is coming soon' as her signature. Let's assume someone offended you by giving 'wrong' advise (if such a thing exists), why can't you practice forgiving the person 70 * 7 times in a day? Repent, Jesus is really coming soon. 5 Likes 1 Share |

@Mavis3: I read your last update and I am going to give you a very clinical advise. I have already advised you have a separate purse from your husband; you no longer have common goals. Sad but true. If you are Yorubas, just accept that you have a co-wife. Yes, you do not want one. I hear you, I feel you HOWEVER you are at a disadvantaged position right now. IF you had your kids and a source of income, you can take your kids and walk; no lele. You can decide to re-marry later to a fellow divorcee or widower or whatever, your call. BUT, you do not have kids and the problem is yours. EXCEPT you marry another man as a 2nd wife, an older widower, an older divorcee AND you have decided to forget about kids, your current husband is going to be the person MOST vested in ensuring you have kids. You can lay your conditions: 1. You are not sharing the house with a co-wife; 2. You are not doing joint anything again. Since he is capable to have two families, he should be able to fend for them; 3. If you have joint assets, look for ways to separate them; 4. You know in your mind that your husband is not a friend, he is a companion. 5. If you have a lot of funds after your private expenses, heavy investment and leisure, you can contribute a tiny fraction to your husband's love child. 6. You also have more time on your hands, he has a second wife. Whatever you did not have time to do before, there is time now. Keep your eyes and heart on the ball/goal: getting your own children. That is all that matters right now in this mess. Goodluck. 7 Likes |

Sotland: Lol, classic Nigerian Christianity. Husband commits adultery Nigerian christian: bible does not condemn polygamy, husband did not break any vows, he loves and cares for wife because they share the same roof. Wife refuses to fund child Nigerian christian: bible preaches forgive and forget, to separate finances is a sign of unforgiveness, such a grave sin. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

He should not use your joint account, and tell him you want to continue trying IVF. Pls don't stop trying, your child is your child. All will be well |

All this stress on a human because she is a woman? If tables were moved around, the husband wouldnt go through such for her. This poster will blossom else where. The man loves her money.That is all. She is only disadvantaged when she still persist there. bukatyne: 7 Likes 1 Share |

@Op; I really feel your pain and a big hug to you. It must be very hard for you and its sad THAT YOUR HUSBAND COULD NOT KEEP TO HIS MARITAL VOWS. Permit me to say if this were to be you who went outside to have a child for another man; the question is would your husband have accepted this child and allowed you to use the joint account funds to look after the child? Ask him this question and hear his response. Firstly, your husband SHOULD GO AND DO A DNA TEST TO CONFIRM THAT THE CHILD IS HIS BEFORE HE STARTS ANYTHING. Secondly, why should he saddle the financial responsibility of the upkeep of the child with you? If you are willing to contribute to the financial care of the child then you can do so out of your willing heart as against your husband trying to impose the financial responsibility to be shared by both of you simply because you both have a joint account together. Thirdly, this is where you need to reconsider the joint account you have with your husband as if he is taking financial responsibility of the child, he should NOT impose this financial burden on you as it should be from your willing heart if you want to contribute and not because of it being imposed on you by him. Fourthly, if confirmed that your husband is the father of the child, you need some sort of arrangement as to how the babymama would have access to your husband and SHE SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO DO AS SHE PLEASES. From the look of what you have narrated about her, SHE LOOKS AND SMELLS LIKE A TROUBLE MAKER and would stop at nothing to cause friction between you and your husband. You need to be prepared for this as she will rub her giving birth in your face and may try to assume the role of a new wife to your husband. Fifthly, it is not up to your husband but up to you to decide if you want to be involved in the life of the child and NO ONE SHOULD FORCE YOU TO DO IT. If you are willing to be involved, that is fine; but if you don’t want to be involved, you would have to decide what you will do going forward. Sixthly, as you have decided to stay in your marriage, you need to be prepared for the challenges ahead as it is a delicate situation and the issues that will occur from this situation is not as simple as ABC. Therefore, how you will handle the situation that will arise from your husband and his babymama is something that needs wisdom to be applied as you will need it going forward. Finally, you need to give yourself time to heal from this BETRAYAL THAT YOUR HUSBAND HAS DONE TO YOU as your husband not only committed adultery but also fathered a child along the way. No one can decide for you on how to handle this situation as only you wears the shoes and only you knows where it pinches but stay strong as you decide. All the best. I rest my case 6 Likes |

Gift7428: Where is the stress? Is there anything I have told her to do for her husband? Do you know how many husbands accept their wives' love child when they know they have fertility issues? For me, it is eye on the ball which is having her own child. Her current husband because of guilt and being her first husband is the most vested in her having kids of her own. 1 Like |

bukatyne:U missed one important thing and this usually happens most of the time. The man may eventually chose to live with the 2nd wife cum girlfriend. His love is hugely divided and right now, the girlfriend and child has more. The house will eventually become toxic for both of them. It will never be like before. And the man will simply port to the other woman and her child. Don't forget that his family will eventually come after her if she withdraws financially. All options are open. She should chose one that she can handle. I really feel for her. 3 Likes |

sassysure: All my posts on this thread is with that goal in mind especially as I suspect they are a Yoruba couple. My people don't reject a child once the acclaimed father has said 'he /she is my child'. I want her to have her own babies and this man is her best bet. The husband is most likely gone. |

Sixfeetbelle: Madam. There is no equivalence. Compare between what his wife is losing by his act of getting a baby with someone else; i.e.nothing; with what a man loses when his wife deceitfully does the same; i.e. his money and his time. And he didn't say he wants to bring the baby home for her to care for. He said he wants to be part of his baby's life... presumably the baby stays with its mama. |
Re: Indecisive And Unhappy. Advice Pla by Nobody: 8:19pm On Apr 06, 2020 |
bukatyne:Yeah, her best bet depends on her personality. She may chose to walk away and who knows, miracle may happen. Sometimes, the sex gametes incompatibility may be the cause. She may get pregnant with another man. A childless man can only stay with his wife if the fault is his. Even at that, he will still try outside to be sure. Once the problem isn't from him, forget it. U are a visitor in that house unless u are wise enough to go for adoption or surrogacy as soon as possible even though u are still trying. That's when u will know that women hate themselves very well. 6 Likes 1 Share |

RisenPhoenix: I've said it before and I'll say it again: I won't argue men vs women issue with you. What I showed you was to contradict your point some days back about a man not bringing his lovechild into his marriage like a woman would. This man is doing it. Simple. 1 Like |

Sixfeetbelle: Show me where she said he's doing that. He's not. If I recall correctly, on that day, I specifically said that women can have children outside marriage, but they do not expect their wives to take the burden of responsibility for those kids the way women expect their husbands to take care of their kids from other men. You can't attribute what I did not say to me. And if you still can't understand the difference, I really can't help you more than this. 1 Like |
