Firstly, I’d like to plead with anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable reading this or who feels I am not man enough for bringing this here. I honestly just needed to because I am at the point where I don’t know what else to do. So, I got married a couple of years back, and my wife and I are blessed with a baby girl, who happens to be my peace and my happy place. In the last three years, my wife has been so cr#el and w**ked to me in all areas of life—I mean emotionally, mentally, physically, and every way a human can think of. I am a great family provider, and God bears me witness I have never starved my family since I had one, not even for a day. But my wife h8tes me so much. Whenever I am home, she doesn’t talk to me, let alone play together as a family. I go out to work, and sometimes I stay back even when I don’t have anything to do. I just lodge in hotels or sleep at my friend’s place.
I have talked to her family about it, and they don’t want her to get out of the marriage, and obviously, she’s tired. She tells me each and every time that she is, and she doesn’t let me know a single thing that I am doing wrong. I mean, I make provision for her down to the last thing a woman needs. She doesn’t want anyone to come to our home, and the house is always boring because she can be on her phone the whole weekend that we mostly have to spend together. I invested almost ₦2 million in a restaurant business last year, and she only ran it for a week before she closed it. The rent just got due a few months back. I wasn’t in the country at that time, so when I got back, we sold everything for a cheaper price because she said she’s no longer interested in the business, and she wants me to give her money for another thing.
Well, I did not, and she now works as a salary earner and she’s cool with it. The transport I give her monthly is more than her salary, or maybe the same. But she saves it up for herself. My wife doesn’t like to go out or spend time with friends; she barely talks to her friends. I have begged and begged, but she wouldn’t change. I don’t want a family where my daughter would get traumatized while growing up because, obviously, she sees everything now since she’s growing up already. I know a few of my family and friends might see this and guess it’s me. Yes, it’s me, but I am tired of telling you all my stories. I am tired of boring everyone with my own problems, and I just have to put it here and hear people’s opinions. Please let me say this: ‘You complain too much.’
That’s always her response to everything happening when I ask her what the problem is. Her birthday is in a few days, nut I am not planning to buy even biscuits for her because I have been working and serving her and my daughter all my life, and not even happiness to pay for it, even if I can’t have everything my peers own. I am a family type of person, and I am very supportive of everyone around me. I wouldn’t like to bore you all with my stories, but I am tired and need y’all fair opinions about this. Maybe I’ll file for a divorce?
