Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative...

Na wah...but why?






STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
MARRIAGE WITH INTERFERENCE FROM MIL
Hi Stella. The year 2016 has indeed been a very eventful year for me. Before today, i would have said it was the best year ever. I met my husband in 2015, we got married in January 2016 and am a proud mother of a 3 month old baby girl.

Now, here is my dilemma. My husband is from Itseƙiri and he is the 1st son of his mother. I am Yoruba. I noticed not long after we got married that his mother loved interfering in our marriage. I was quiet about that and felt maybe it was still the excitement of her 1st son being married. But i was so wrong.

I read a chronicle here where a woman complained about her MIL that named her baby without her consent and i smiled. That same thing happened to me. 


My husband and I were still in the hospital when my MIL walked in and named my baby. I expected my husband to counter her as we had already named her but he did nothing. She even insisted that the name she gave my baby must be the name we call her. I was pissed but i let it pass again out of respect for her.

As months began to pass i started to notice her interference was getting out of hand. Any decision made by my husband and I must be supported by her and if not it gets thrown of the window.

Today's event was the height. I stood my ground and told my husband that i have had enough. This is my child and i have the right to make decisions about her too. I was carrying my baby in my arms to bath her so i could go get ready for work. Immediately i made the above statement, my husband descended on me. OMG, i have never been so scared for my life and my baby's life. I was thrown on the floor and given the beating of my life. My face still hurts and stings from the numerous slaps and my body hurts from the blows.

I had to call my office in tears to tell them to please excuse me for today. My baby is just 3 months old.

I waited for him to leave for the office and i packed all my things together with my baby. This is the second time of him beating me. I was pregnant the first time. I don't want to wait for the third time at all.

My folks are not even based here so i had to pack to a friend's house. Folks are not even supporting my moving out. They are saying its a part of marriage, its normal and every woman goes through it. I refuse to accept that. What is wrong is wrong. Many woman have died from domestic violence and many are suffering in silence.

I don't have much but i am already looking for a self contain apartment. With the little i have, i will support my little one. God will help me. All i am concerned about now is saving enough for the future of my baby. At 27years, i am already a divorcee. It is well.

Nigerian MILs should learn to stop meddling in their son's home and likewise Men should realise they now have a family of their own.

A man that is supposed to protect me, hurt me. Say no to domestic violence and stand your ground.

I have attached my picture, and my precious little one's picture for your eyes only.


OMG,I am so sorry dear.I really dont know what to say at all but for now you probably made the right choice...Did you ever try talking to you MIL?
I would do that one on one,woman to woman.

    1. Stand your ground and do not accept evil.
      Pit is a lie of the devil that every woman goes through domestic violence. My parents have been married for 41 years and my father has never beaten my mother. I have been married for 10 years and same!!

      The same people saying it is not a big deal are the same that will say you should've left if he eventually kills you...

      Leave am , make him mama marry am. Maybe they're already sharing more than mother and son relationship, who knows?

      It's only a cursed man that lays his head on a woman, how much more a pregnant and/ or nursing one.

      Where una de carry all these kain men marry sef?

    2. Don't go back, he will hit you again.Stella you can do one on one with your mother in law cos she is white and has a different mindset. Try it here and you will be called disrespectful.

    3. Poster, I'm happy you left. Thanks for standing up for yourself.

      If he comes back to beg, make sure you get him to sign an undertaken or affidavit that he'll never hit you again.

      Since your parents are not helping matters, get a lawyer friend that can advise you before you move back in.

      Finally, save enough money secretly for yourself incase he decides to allow Devil use him again.

      I know he will come begging,and I know you will consider going back because of what you parents,siblings, and society will say, always remember that when he kills you,you alone will be in the coffin,six feet below.

    2. Wow your husband is evil. Beating you and then you had the baby in your arms and he didn't care. As you well know,your MIL is the problem here.her son is tied around her apron strings. He might be a mummys not or it might be jazz. Who knows. Trial seperation works best for now. Pray that God relases your husband from his mom's apron strings. I pray God makes me a good MIL when the time comes. I would hate to make another person's life miserable just cos she married my son

Madam it's well... doh... dust yourself up its not the end of the world... it's not easy as a single parent and you likely hv 2 go back but make sure he realises ur value b4 going back 2 him. just save as much as u can cause if he can beat you during pregnancy n. Nursing he will do much more. Avoid confrontations n do what is in ur mind after dem talk their own.

    6. Idiot how is the story somehow? Next thing is to ask what she did....there is no justification for beating her and the MIL has no right to interfer....my MIL gave names to my 2 kids, that's part of tradition but she cannot insist it has to be the one parents call them....sad u married a mamas boy and the woman might be a witch who will not allow her kids progress....separate and don't listen to your family cos beating in marriage is not the norm. Yes all marriages have problems but not every problem u manage.....if the guy sees the light and changes fine but don't rush back cos he will take u for a fool and beat u more sef........keep calm and be strong, marriage is not a do or die matter and don't allow any one bully you or blame you for domestic violence.

    1. A carefully edited story for the small-minded. "Self-contain"...blah bla.. Oya hit the road and fully engage in that act you temporarily suspended after you got married. You're already referring to yourself as a "divorcee" when your marriage hasn't been repealed. That thing wey don dey hungry you, you now have all the time. Go and do it. I wish you well.

    5. Blunt biko elaborate! Before I waste my emotions feeling sorry for woman Wey no deserve am!

      As we get older we learn not to swallow one-sided stories, no matter how pitiful it sounds, & especially when man & woman dey involved.

      Delete
    6. Blunt, I noticed her calling herself a divorcee too but it might just mean that she's done with him, she cannot stay with someone who doesn't care about the safety of their child, he could potentially kill her or the child one of these days and doesn't see herself looking back again. If you look at it that way and she plans or hopes to meet someone who would love her and treat her right in the future, the divorce would be inevitable and so calling herself a divorcee already wouldn't be far-fetched.

      Just be careful how you twist people's tales of woe against them. Your kind of comment might be one of the reasons why a lot of women remain in abusive marriages and eventually get killed because they don't want to be accused of leaving abusive husbands just so they can be free to sleep around or so that they can go shavk up with boy/menfriends etc. just don't victimize the victims, they need support and encouragement; not further victimization......... Just Saying

      Delete
    7. Blunt, no matter how carefully edited the story is, the major thing in it is that he hit her. Absolutely no justification for that. I don't give two pence about her MIL's interference or lack thereof because it isn't relevant. Subtle bullying is still bullying. In cases of DV, if you've got nothing positive to say, read and walk away. That could be you or someone you know

    8. Don't mind the stupid brainless blunt idiot.....u think it's every woman that will to.erate years of abuse? She has obviously made up her mind to leave the marriage

  6. You're blaming your MIL rather than the devil who hita you even while carrying his child.
    At first I thought this was just an issue of interference by a MIL but as soon as I got to the DV part my rage increase. Like what the actual hell.
    Getting beaten up for whatever reason is not part of marriage and will never be.
    It's not the first time he'd do it and it obviously won't be the last. Your marriage is just a year and such a mess already.
    Will I say you didn't know he was this way? Well I'm sure you knew but you thought he'd change.
    My dear, if you have ears please listen. You have only 1 child and you have a job according to you.
    Please don't go back, you said it yourself that women die from DV please don't join those women who have passed as a result of it. You need to live for your baby cos if you die today in the hands of that beast he'd marry another woman who'd maltreat your child.
    Do not look back. Your MIL is not the problem but the beast you married.
    She can influence him because he allows it.

    3. Atheist that is a bad Conclusion because I didn't see anywhere in the chronicle where the MIL asked the man to hit his wife.
      The woman is controlling yes but has it stopped responsible men with mothers like that to do what is right?
      There is a popular saying that "pikin wey dem no teach well for house go learn outside"
      Let's assume he was raised to believe that hitting women is right, he is educated I'd like to assume, has it read it anywhere that it's right? Doesn't he have mates or married friends who don't beat their wives? Why can't he learn from them instead of using his mother as an excuse and avenue for bad behaviour.
      In my opinion,he alone is to be blamed because the bible says "a man shall leave his mother and his father and cling to his wife"
      He is the one breaking his vows not his mother.
      Young lady, if you listen and go talk to the woman you will only compound your problems.
      You should hold your husband accountable for his actions.
      The woman will always take her sons side so you have already lost this battle.
      I rest my case

      Delete
    4. Atheist is right.
      The mother is the architect, every mother knows her child, she definately knows her son has anger issues, so why push his button, especially towards his wife, she should be the peacemaker in that house, not contributing fuel to fire.

Just so their son will chase u out of the house? You never see anything, like i said just pray. Some men beating their wives isn't with clear eye sef.

MIL wnt to knw when we sex,eat, sleep,if I don't allow my hubby to touch me for a week, she call me nd give me serious warning, now she wants hubby and I to move in with her. I need strength to deliver safely bcos d wahala is too much

    8. I honestly don't know why people praise this doppelgänger.....so from what u read u cannot deduce that the mother is a big influence? Someone who has to okay any decision in a marriage? Anyway u never marry so save your advice for single matters...

      Delete
    9. Doppelganger, you can never be SURE she knew about the devilish tendencies cos you weren't with them. It's better to say "I guess" or "I think" never "I'm sure" because in actuality, you are NOT sure. That's the only issue I have with your comment

      Delete
    10. @Doppelgange, her MIL is the root of her problem and for a man to beat a woman during pregnancy for the first time and while she was holding her three months old baby for the second time, shows he does not care if she dies because of his mother who likely did not condone nonsense from her own mother in law!

      Of course, your folks won't support you and your friend will later beg you to go back, that is how the Nigerian society works! Even sdk asking you to talk to her is indirectly asking you to make peace in your young marriage.

      If your husband comes begging, go back. Then Wisen up. Don't discuss any important decision making with him again! Be giving him the siddon-look attitude, it will piss him off later and do whatever you want secretly.

      Go to population census office and get your child's birth certificate in the names you want. Give your mil the silence treatment from hence forth. Dont prepare any special food when she comes, put too much salt or pepper in the food so she wont enjoy it as she does not want you to enjoy your marriage. There are several ways to catch a rat!

      If he does not come to beg, then don't make the mistake of going back, because he will treat you worst! Face your child and career, and stay away from married men because you will be a target for the randy he-goats on heat!

      Delete
    11. If your husband cones back to beg you please think carefully and if you have peace about it go back to him. You will put your foot down as to how you want your home affairs to be run. Tell your husband the next time he tries to put hands on you that will be the last time he'll ever see you or his child again.
      As for his mother na you start mumu for the beginning. Why should your MIL ever dictate whose or what name goes on the birth certificate? A domineering woman comes to your house and shakes you she's trying to see your strength and you showed your cards! Never ever do that. Your house is the boundary whatever affects your child is the boundary. Let her influence her son as long as it doesn't affect you and your child fine! Make it clear you will not stand for rubbish ever.
      Everybody has someone that has some influence in our lives. Everyone. It is up to us whether it is positive or negative and it is up to us to take the advice or discard it. Up to us. You definitely married a boy because men don't behave the way your husband behaved and his mom knows that so she's pulling his strings.
      I've been married more than 5years and my Mother in law is very very controlling manipulative domineering with correct eye service native sense but she knows that me too I'm a strong woman. She no dey ever bring am near my side at all because from the beginning I no allow am. I don't pass my boundaries. I respect her space and she too respects mine. She knows me well and I too know her. I don't control anyone so no one can control me or what pertains to me. It is the unwritten constitution we have. So take charge of your home and your marriage. One person will have to bow to the other and since it is Your husband Your home and Your child your MOTHER IN LAW MUST BOW!! It is simple psychology not prayer warrior war room rubbish. Abeg let me know if you need further help. Rubbish woman!

    My dear you did the right thing leaving, don't mind what those folks and world people are saying cos none of them were there to weep with you. And none of them will die with you if he kills you one day.

    Just face your baby and your work for now and forget everything about that horseband of yours for now...when he eventually comes begging don't listen to him! If you later choose to go back to him, make him suffer and give him conditions this time around.

    But left to me I'd say don't go back again! He'll never change and you are better off without him and his crazy mother

  14. Oh wow! I wasn't expecting the end from the beginning. So are you saying that your MIL isn't in support of you being a working mum so she informed your husband and your husband decided to plummet you to send the message across? Is that what you're saying?

    Foolish men dey sha. Men who can't handle their shit 👎🏽 glad you moved out. He needs space and a possible brain reset. I hope he has better friends and family who can tell him the truth.
    Unlike your parents my dad always says on the traditional marriage day that he is holding his daughter'S room key. He will lock it in case she decides to return with valid reason she is free to and for that reason he will take reasonanle bride price so he can return it if there is need to. But his prayer is that there will be no need to In Jesus name. Everyone answer: Aaameeeen. That way he has sent a subtle message.

    After that You come and see how inlaws will be God-forbiding and debunking and denouncing 😂😂 it's always funny. But na cases like this dey make the man no wan take chances. Some families treat someone's daughter like trash.

    5. So there's excuse for a strike from a woman which is usually a caustic badmouthing or emotional abuse?

      Domestic violence means "Any incident of controlling, coercive, threatening behavior, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexuality. The abuse can encompass, but is not limited to:

      ‎psychological

      ‎physical

      ‎sexual

      ‎financial

      Verbal

      ‎emotional

      Controlling behavior is a range of acts designed to make a person subordinate and/or dependent by isolating them from sources of support, exploring their resources and capacities for personal gain, depriving them of the means needed for independence, resistance and escape and regulating their everyday behavior.

      Coercive behavior is an act or pattern of acts of assaults, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish or frighten their victim.‎

      Family members are defined as mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, and grandparents, whether directly related, in laws or stepfamily.

      Whatever form it takes, domestic abuse is rarely a one-off incident, and should instead be seen as a pattern of abusive and controlling behaviour through which the abuser seeks power over their victim. Typically the abuse involves a pattern of abusive and controlling behaviour, which tends to get worse over time. The abuse can begin at any time, in the first year, or after many years of life together. It may begin, continue, or escalate after a couple have separated and may take place not only in the home but also in a public place.‎

      From the definitions above, it's clear that it's not just about a man beating a woman or vice versa, it includes a whole lot. The belief locally is that it's all about men abusing women. Maybe because don't talk or report. The definition above clearly shows, from a high percentage that woman, with their mouth and behaviour of "women Liberation and freedom" which has caught up with many young girls, abuses men mostly.

      While growing up, we hear elders advice that the only power women has is their mouth, what they didn't tell us is that those caustic mouth can cause death, emotional challenges, high BP, mental issues over time to men. Imagine if men start complaining based on the above, we will have numerous cases of domestic violence.

      In as much as I don't subscribe to physical attack, some women can lead a man to frustration with what comes out of their mouth, behaviour etc and instant beating starts. ‎

      This doesn't preclude some men or women who are violent oriented.

      in all honesty, if only women can control their tongue, a lot can be saved. Men also control their temper. Tongue is the worst element in humans that can destroy, men, bring any form of repercussion if not controlled. We have seen how tongues can cause war etc. If such can happen, imagine if u have a caustic partner who dishes it out anyhow to u.

      Anyway, the essence of this is to advice everyone to understand what this domestic violence means, and to preach for peace. Women, like it or not, a man needs u to be his warming bosom and not attacking firebrand. When a home is peaceful, the woman takes credit, when it scatters, the woman is blamed‎. All these "partnership" in marriage and "control" is what leads to many cases.

      I think it's time men start speaking out. Don't wait until it's too late. ‎

    6. Your father's got it right ojare. I love my culture/tradition/tribe cos our bride price is fixed but only fluctuates when changed to naira. The Efik brideprice is £24 and even converting at the rate of N600 per £1, you find that it isn't something the poorest of the poor cannot raise to return to a devilish beast.

  15. Some mother in law are like that. The problem I have with mine is that till they pass on me and their son will always celebrate Xmas and new year with them reason is that he's their first son that after they pass on he will be the head of the family and continue from where they stop. I was told about this before I accepted to marry their son sometimes I miss being in charge and celebrating the season with my friends coming over to my place to celebrate but January 10 is wen me and my husband do celebrate ours.... Its been 13 good years now and I am already used to it. I dare not talk about it because the first time I tried it I saw the otherside of my man luckily our both parents live in same zone...... I would've advise u to stay but I am not in support of dv

    1. This is no problem.15:13. People travel long distances to celebrate with family rather than friends. Good, you accepted it since you were told before marriage.

      Sometimes, we wives should stop making mountains out of molehills. When you become grandparents and all the children are away, you will look forward to such days for a family reunion. That is the joy, not the eating and drinking.

  19. I don't think any man will stand by and watch his mum being disrespected (am assuming the tone and choice of words) but if you were really polite about the whole stuff and he beat you up then he has a problem and needs to be checked out asap.


    Did your parents support your moving out? I think your marriage can be salvaged if both families interfers.

    I think you should go back on the condition your husband signs an undertaking that he will never hit you.Your mother - in-law needs to learn to respect you/ your home.


    What do you like about your husband? Think on these things it will help you heal.

    6. On this same blog a few days ago or so we read about someone whose horseband was signing undertakings in all police stations and still beating his wife, so what undertaking are you talking about? It's obvious, anyways, from your comment that you didn't read everything before rushing to comment else you would have seen where she said her parents asked her not to move out and that he beat her before when she was pregnant. He probably apologized then and promised never to touch her again in anger but didn't keep that promise. How else should she work things out? She should keep forgiving and asking family members to step in until she finds her battered body being lowered into the ground abi?

  33. Moving out of that toxic military zone was the best move, ive always warned women to have some sort of leverage to hold onto in a marriage, it helps you filter the bullshit you can take from any man. If u ask me you both rushed into marriage without giving it enough time to study eachother, well, i know some ppl meet & hook the knot in 3-4months but its not like clockwork for everyone, if u study the 5 stages of love/relationship, the Romance stage (drug addiction stage) last for 8-12months, thats when u have loads of butterflies in ur tummy & u feel u can even donate ur liver/kidney, then the Power struggle stage follows.... before the "See finish" stage comes, which so many couple dont cross, thats where even ur choice of ringtone can cause wahala... so personally ive always adviced 2yrs max b4 marriage, at least get to see the person finish, life is short, Yes... but 4ever with one person is a pretty long time, 2yrs minus 4ever is worth it, trust me.... so poster, hes the same man that was showering n chokin u with xcess love, its just that hes mostly at the 3rd stage, & i doubt he would have married u if he dated u for 3yrs. well, im glad u didnt sit in that house like a puppet, maybe we'll all be shocked if Lilian sent in her Chronicle, lol....

  53. The bible says children obey your parents, but once you are old enough to marry you are no longer a child. So when your parents interfere in your marriage, you should thank them but stand your ground because you are no longer a child. Imagine the mother of a wife beater interfering in how a mother raises her own child. Like seriously, see what the child you raised turned into. I've always said parents in Nigeria don't give enough support to their daughters. How in the world would you insist your daugther stays in a violent situation just to save face? Poster, thank God you have been schooled the SDK way and you have removed yourself from the violent situation. Women please strive to achieve financial independence and don't have too many children so if something goes wrong you can stand on your own and are not left at the mercy of so called family that will force you to stay in a toxic relationship so that people won't laugh at them. Your life is more important than your parents pride!

  55. Mrs, you made the right move. Move out whether anyone supports it or not, don't let him find out the place you are, stay there till he comes and beg you and get a lawyer so he signs an agreement that such of domestic violence from him again will attract something from him.
    As for his mum, keep on standing on your ground and tell her you are a strong woman too, one day she will learn to mind herself.
    Domestic violence should never be tolerated, it's not a part of marriage.

    NP: you moved out from your home doesn't make you a divorcee yet, stop claiming divorcee because if you finally get a divorce at this early stage of marriage, you will regret it forever. He is still your husband.

These are the things they use to scare african women to staying and dying there. How can he beat her when pregnant or when carrying 3 month old baby. My dear he is an animal pls divorce sharp sharp and start again. Nonsense

  56. This same rule of non violence should apply to children too, in fact most importantly. No adult should raise their filthy hands against children, whether theirs or not. That's how it is in developed countries. Children can't protect themselves so they should be protected. How and why should a stupid child beater say no to domestic violence?

    1. Met 2015 married 2016 and had baby 9 months later. Too fast too fast. And she's only 27. Where was she rushing to? If you met him in 2015 didn't you think it would be wise to get to know each other a bit more before having baby? At least then you would have been leaving now with no baby. Anyway sha God knows best.

  64. Why do u people shout down & condemn anyone that suggest that this poster could hv triggered off d beating by her dh? Couldn't it be possible?
    Why is it that it's only a very tiny percentage of women that suffer beating by their dh? Couldn't it be possible that this small fraction of women are always troublesome and uncouth even at home?

    1. It is only a tiny percentage that you get to hear about. Others don't talk about it due to fear or induced mental illness. Which is why it is very important to voice out the evil consequences of DV, so others can be liberated. Remember even the children that watch get affected by it.

    2. Who told you its only a small fraction of women? Who told you that? They are beating many but they all pretend. So you are saying there is a way a woman will behave towards you that you will beat her? Na wa oh.

  66. It's best you love your self.
    Please let the MIL equally seek help for herself and cut off the umblical cord. The Son should also seek help. All parties involved may the Holy spirit heal and restore them.
    Sorry what you went through. Your pain which you been keeping bc vocal.Do what's best for you away from toxic environment is best.
    My dear precious ladies may the Lord be your refuge may the Lord heal you. May the Lord grant you Favor like Esther.
    God knows what's best for you. Seek His face and practice His présence. Loneliness is not funny.
    I had shared on this blog where I was warned by prophet how a guy who intends to marry me still tied to Mothers umblical cord. Name he didn't give. I discarded that warning sef bc no guy was even tossing me. Months later it happen it didn't even register to me. So I asked God God was like Nope! As human as I can be. I fought temptation tried to reason. I ran for my life. Then few months later I was meditating I remember the prophet warning. I started laughing like Sarah. See I am glad I saw for my self and heard from God and choose to obey God by His Grace. I reckon seek God for yorslf and hear bfore emotions take over reasoning. I don't recommend prophetic. I didn't seek to know from the prophet but he decided to warn me before hand.
    God bless.

  69. Poster it's called "separation "not divorce. ..but seriously we may need to be re-educated on how to calm a volatile situation, like de-escalate a tense /angry husband. ..in the school of marriage we learn even from negative experiences,like keep quiet when you notice his voice tone rising, stand close to the open door, change the topic, count to 10 before replying, ...we just have to learn how to handle a man prone to violence. Besides that, it's too early to rent an apartment,stay in ur friends place for a while guage his reaction if he misses you enough to amend his ways,I suspect his wise friends would caution him...by the way, ur MIL naming ur child is not such a big deal its common in some culture such that the child could have 10 name sef, just call the child the name u like

  70. And to those bvs that use their parents as gold standard,every marriage has its challenges at the beginning until they find balance,i don't support dv it's evil/demonic but the vessel and the content has to be handled with care so we don't raise our children in broken homes. ...the man u thought could never change might become a pastor 6 months from now

    1. U made no sense believe me what u said is what my common sense calls stupidity,so u don't know that a child who witness domestic violence has tendency of been abusive in future especially the male child and in most cases leave the female child vulnerable to violence which includes sexual assault etc. Poster I would advice u as a legal practitioner and as a woman pls don't take this advice, you might not be lucky next time. We've had so many cases like this and unfortunately some of deceased are not alive to say their story..the ball is in your court

  71. U only gave one scenario and you did not state what happened that U made that statement to your husband. I do not support domestic violence but your story does not state what your mother inlaw has exactly done in details.

  72. You are not divorced yet but temporarily separated from your husband. Please, note that marriage is never a bed of roses. Not all that glitters is gold especially when you see different couples looking so happy publicly, they have one or more challenges they face as well. You have done well by moving out, let your husband know where you are and when he comes, tell him exactly how you feel about the assault and let him know you would only return him if he promises to love and care for you the same way he did at the very beginning. I pray he listens to you and you guys find yourselves more attractive than ever. It is not easy task to raise a child alone, just try and settle with him amicably. May the good Lord be with you

  74. Your mother in law can only go as far as your husband allows her. I have a MIL who could be overbearing and would love to control every one, but my husband puts her in check firmly. In fact sometimes I have to intervene and caution him for being too harsh, but he keeps telling me if you give her an inch, she will go a mile.
    Your husband is the problem here dear not your MIL.Thank God you have a job, get your life back together, get involved with a support group cos your family may not be there for you now.Do not allow anyone to guilt trip you into returning, except your hubby accepts his fault. And even then, please save some money that will empower you to take a walk again if need be.
