Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative...

Hmmmm.....




STAND ALONE NARRATIVE

COMPLAINING WIFE




Stella please hide my ID and post in your blog.


Is it right for a married woman to be treated this way or she is just being paranoid and nothing is wrong with her marriage.


Her husband's brother is leaving with she and her husband in their matrimonial home. The husband is the one that goes to market to buy foodstuffs and everything needed in the house, he does not give her money for the house upkeep. 


He does not discuss decisions in the house with his wife rather he talks to his brother about any decisions he wants to take. If some repairs need to be done in the house, he only tells his brother that someone will be coming to the house to carry out some repairs and the wife will be put in the dark. She will just be surprised when someone knock and enters her home when her husband is not around and she won't know what the person is coming to do only her husband's brother will know.


She is always put in the dark in her own home. Her husband only discusses his plans with his brothers and family and never involves her. 


Sometimes a visitor will be coming to the house and she won't be told about it and when the visitor arrives she will be expected to smile and act all nice if not she will be tagged a bad wife. 


She cooks and the husband's brother goes to her pot to take food anytime he wants without telling her, even if she is sitting down with him at the same place. She cooks sometimes and the husband's brother might feel he don't want to eat that at that time, he enters her kitchen and cooks whatever he wants to eat without asking her anything.


There was a time the husband asked his brother to help him and do something, do you know the brother went to meet the wife to ask why she is not the one doing that and why she should be around and her husband will ask him to do a work for him. 


The wife felt disrespected and reported to the husband, the husband did not see anything wrong in what his brother said and supported him, he said for the wife to report the brother to him means she is a bad person and wants him and his brother to have issues and that she will never succeed. But the wife's intention for reporting to the husband is just for her husband to caution his brother so that he can have a little regard and respect for her knowing fully well that she is even older than his brother by age.


The wife feels like a stranger in her home, she don't have control of how her home is run and her opinion are not even recognized, the husband will rather listen to the opinion of his brother than listen to his wife. Anytime the wife cooks she must serve his brother his own food in the dining, even at that if the brother wants to eat again he will disregard the wife and go straight to her pot and take whatever he wants without telling her. The wife feels disrespected by all these behavior and she is even older than her husband's brother, she is scared to talk so that they won't call her a bad woman that came to cause problem between brothers. 


When her husband cooks he dishes out only his own and his brothers own, they will sit together and be eating and the wife will be left to go and sort out her own food.


She is just tired of the whole situation and want to leave the marriage for them. She want to know if this is a normal behavior in other homes or she is just taking it too far.




 JESUS CHRIST!!!... why make an issue when there is none? abeg abeg abeg, all the complaints therein are so so petty..Ah ah

Please relax and enjoy your marriage and stop trying to hit the brothers head in conflict..... Try to change your mindset, there is nothing wrong at all...

  1. Your husband already has a mentality that you will give them trouble so he is prepared for war when you haven't even started a battle..

    Madam, it is what it is.

    Ignore, don't be petty, smile and respect your husband and brother.

    Do you have a job? Do you go out in the morning and come back in the evening?
    You have to much free time on your hands to be seeing everything...

    And obviously, you are not bringing in any money to that household.

    Repay their "perceived bad behavior" with a good attitude or else you go just use worry and wahala kill yourself.

    5. This poster's husband has no regard for his wife and his attitude is what has given the brother the guts to disrespect his wife.
      Madam please get ready to bend over backwards to please them or be termed a bad wife.

    6. Your husband is the type that would use his brother as his next of kin even after you have 10 kids for him. How did you two meet? He doesn't have any respect for you.

      Delete
    7. Tolerating people and situations that don't serve one is what I will never understand. Perhaps it's because I'm selfish about anything that concerns my happiness and comfort. Btw, having kids will only make the situation worse. Best wishes.

    8. Pls let this poster tell us what made the man to change to this. Poster, ask the woman what she did. She did not tell you the full story. I don't believe a man will treat his wife like this without any reason.

      Even during dating, a man treats his woman with respect and his relatives follow suit, let alone marriage.
      This is not how marriage is, the wife is hiding something.

      All I have to say is, get busy,
      .make your own money.

      Live life in your own terms

      Don't join issues with anyone

      You are too available for them reason why you are treated this way.

      Delete
    11. Poster pls how are you coping? Me I can't live one month with such a man. Do you have kids or pregnant with your first child? If not, I would advise you leave the marriage. It is a dangerous marriage. Your brother in-law can beat you up and your horseband will see nothing wrong with that. If anything happens to your husband tomorrow, you will regret your life because they will show you shege. That man can never change even if God himself appears and talks to him. Leave before you have HBP or they kill you.

    while she is sleeping and snoring inside same!

    2. Some kind conclusions and advice you guys give on this blog, I wonder if you try to put yourself in the poster’s situation, hypothetically. It is obvious the man entered the marriage with a mindset about women.

      Madame, free them. Face your side. Let him continue going to the market and doing the cooking. He will get tired. When he does, it is up to you to decide if you will step in. Till then, Don’t force it. In btw, is your mother aware of this happenings? What is her take?

    5. This is not how marriage should be, any little thing you twist bible passages to suit your myopic mindset. Poster please, where did you see this man? I know their type, they marry for marrying sake and to reproduce. They meet and start chatting/speaking with you one day and the next day, they start talking about marriage. They do not want to get to know you, your values, your belief or anything about you. So far you have passed their test of naivety and purity🤣, you are wife material to be married under 1 week. They look for wives/baby making machines not friends. Servant/master marriage....sex is robotic. Nne, you are trying

    10. Poster.your write up reminded me of a husband, husband doesn't drop money for food he would rather go and buy the food stuff. He loves his sister so much that it's her picture that is on his screen saver. Some pple if only marrying family members was allowed Trust some ppld would have opted for that cos as they r married they still love thier family more than the wife. Infact they will take a bullet for thier siblings than wife. It's not good but what can the righteous do.
      Na to be patient and pray. Some men are just babies in marriage

    12. None of you said what the solution is. All I advised the woman is to "study the Bible and pray and find out how to build her home"
      What is bad about that?
      She has to navigate around this with patience and wisdom and not the firebrand some of you are shooting.
      Most times what ladies do here is to bash the man and go without proffering any solution. Bashing is not a solution. The man is not even

Truly I think ur brother in law is a big part of the problem. Let him move. As for ur husband I don’t know what to call him. I think he is weak. I don’t think I are making a mountain out of a molehill at all. It’s a problem and it’s annoying. In marriage a couple should take decisions together.

      Wife, Husband and Brother in-law are the problem.

      Wife get busy else you will keep looking for relevance where it is not kept.
      You want to be respected? Respect yourself first.

      Stop trying to be in control of everyone relax a little more.

      Your BIL tries to avoid you by cooking by himself to avoid your attitude.
      Let him be he won't stay forever. I hope that he leaves your house sooner.

      Husband is even suffering because it is obvious that two of you want him to declare his loyalty to either of you. You both have succeeded in confusing him. Husband ought to try to be neutral on this subject.

      My brother's wife is one on the table and she is easily slighted by the minutest of things that her husband and in-laws do. Well we have limited visiting them but I have decided to not spend even a night there nor have a meal there. I no be her dog. If you are even talking about age difference we are all older than her by at least 6years and we are working class but she isn't even doing anything. She never even fit manage all the things in the house but she is looking for relevance.

  4. You see this "stone him" crowd, you came here to gather? You will find
    it plenty.

    1. Where and where was she disrespectful?. That brother is no longer a guest at this point please. To answer your question, no a married woman is not supposed to be treated this way.
      Your husband is already in battle with you with your knowledge sef lol. Your husband might have a bad memory or experience where he saw a wife scatter a home , and instead of him to unlearn this and heal from this, he carry am for head like gala.
      I wont advice you to leave.
      I'll advice you to start looking for a job and money ASAP, so that you can regain your sanity, take some decisions alone, fix some things in the house with your money and get a help to be cooking and serving everyone, make your eye no chook for kitchen. Because believe me, after a long while in this situation ,you'll accuse any loved wife you see of using juju. Forgive my disjointed writing, but I hope you get the message.

      Delete
    2. @Dee
      You see exactly what I wrote up there; your solution is to further divide them. Her problem is that she doesn't have "her money" right?
      And her Brother in Law is not a guest but the house owner; right?
      When people who are seen as sober come here for advice, try to look for solutions to bring the couple together and not to further divide and
      separate them.

    3. Anonymous please where did you read your own to see disrespect? All of you supporting such nonsense can not stomach ⅛ in your home. Why did that husband marry her instead of his brother. Nobody will go to my kitchen or pot without my permission, try it and i will empty it on your head.

    1. Exactly! I don't know why some women here are supporting this kind of marriage.
      Someone will be invited into her own home without her knowledge, she is not informed of anything going on in the home, the husband buys all that is needed in the he by himself. There is a lack of trust. Dear poster,it is like your husband does not trust you and you have to know why, please speak to your husband. Your brother in law is not the problem. This is not normal at all.

      Everything is not by gra gra. This woman is intolerant and petty. She can sit her husband down and dialogue about these minor issues.

      Delete
    4. @Bini, I agree with you. You are right. The husband has no iota of respect for his wife and the husband is so entitled. He should be ashamed of himself for behaving that way in his brother's home.
      PS: I am a man. I cannot even conceive the idea of doing this in any of my married brother's houses.

      Delete
    5. Her concerns are very valid, even though she should use wisdom to handle it, its a red flag for your brother inlaw to have so much access and say in your marriage, he should as well be the wife to his brother.
      Poster, should be very careful in how she handles it but you have to stamp your feet in the marriage in a subtle way.

    7. She's not petty abeg,there is a problem....first of all set boundaries and stand by it, 1. tell ur husband his brother should stop going to ur pot for any reason 2. He should NEVER cook anything in ur kitchen simply because he doesn't want to eat what u guys are having, please who does that in another person's house? 3.dish his food when u guys are ready to eat and call him to come and carry his food,if he is not ready to eat let him cover it till he is ready and stand firmly by it and lastly tell ur husband that any visitor that u are not told about before hand will NEVER sleep in ur house no matter who the person is except maybe in a situation where the person is stranded and called without any prior notice

Haaa mehn Poster Please sit down and discuss like adult and as a couple...Then lets see how it goes, if it does not work...Do you know anyone your husband respects a lot..Please involve that person to intervene in this matter...

    However check yourself and ensure that you are not the one making your husband finding companionship with your brother...Treat them with love and respect but boundaries must be placed...Take your place as a wife...I pray for wisdom as you go about it...Please don't say it from a place of anger but calmly state what you are not happy with and NO you are not over reacting...All the best...

    5. @15:11, you seem to be cherry picking on this chronicle. It is not just about house repairs. If you read it again, you will realize that the wife isn't informed of what's going on in the house as to which handy man is coming to work. She just see a stranger in the home carrying out repairs. Meanwhile, her brother in-law was informed. That's bullshit! The husband has absolutely no respect for her.

      Whether cherry picking or tomato picking, that curse word you are using there is not a solution; is it?
      All you all are doing is to help her grind pepper and spray on everyone in that house. If her husband is being "disrespectful"
      sit down with him in the bedroom and discuss it and not spray mud.

    First of all poster, your hubby is the one that gave his family such right to disrespect you and it was enabled by you.

    Why start what you cannot finish just because you want to get/stay married?

    Very big insult is what I read from the start to finish of this write-up.

    I don't know if there's anything you can do at this stage to put things to order in your home.

    Maybe, call your hubby and tell him how you feel about his actions towards you or if he wouldn't listen to you, send him a text message.

    Your home is your home and there should be boundaries set.

      Just try and talk with the man.. He is acting on his insecurity.

  14. Stella, from her perspective, everything is wrong. The man and his brother is toxic. Why marry her if you gonna treat her in such a manner. The brother is the third party here and should learn to respect his brothers wife. This is not so because the husband gave him the right to behave anyway he likes. Not all men are ready for marriage, some still thinks its a child's play. Madam, seat him down and pour your mind to him, if he refuses to grow up and repair his marriage, take a walk if that suit you.

    ReplyDelete
  15. @Sdk, did you read the story very well or you were distracted by something?

    This is wrong on all counts the woman is being very disrespected by her husband. He is not married to his brother but his wife.
    He and his wife should be the one doing things together. If her husband is not involving her in the running of the home something is very wrong. Was it an arranged marriage.

    I actually think she should leave temporarily and have this issue sorted out. Nothing wrong with his brother there but if it's putting the wife at a disadvantage then he should not be there.

    Some men think the woman has no say in her home. But it is not correct. This is an abuse. And I dare say if it doesn't change, she should talk to the elders of the family or Pastor for a way forward.. This woman is just there for decoration.

    This is not right. Her husband has rights and she too has.

  18. Everything is wrong! What a blatant display of disregard for the wife. Obviously, there’s a hierarchy in that house and the wife’s rank is bottom. I don’t mind going to dish your own food but disregarding her is a no!

    Its not just about the brother. What about the part where she’s left in the dark about the going ons in her own house? She’s been treated less than a help for God’s sake!
    I do not even blame the brother inlaw cos clearly, he’s mirroring his brother’s attitude to his own wife.

    Madam, your problem is your husband who treats you less than a wife. He probably sees you as a bedmate and container for his offsprings.
    Fix his attitude, you have fixed your problem.

Someone is married to a man who doesn't treat her as a wife, partner nor even a friend & you expect her to be happy? How? How can u enjoy marriage with someone who doesnt involve you in matters regarding the home you both share? How is this even a marriage? What's the point of marrying her if he's just going to treat her like a statue? Did he marry her just to reproduce & to satisfy society because what is this? Even if he has issues with her, cant he sort it out?

      Poster, have u poured your mind to your husband? Have you sat down with him to tell him how u feel with they way you're being treated? If you have & he still doesnt budge, then I suggest you face truth and adjust to the reality that he married for other reasons other than having a life partner so better adjust your expectations accordingly. Start to see him as same: a flatmate/babydaddy/provider. Remove love from the equation & be at rest.
      But be honest also, have you offended him before? Have you lost his trust in the past? Or are you one of those women who are too lazy, too laid-back and don't care for anything happening in the home? I know women like this who do not contribute anything & care for nothing. Their husbands tend to give up & handle everything themselves. You need to be honest with yourself and also ask him these questions.

  20. The orientation of your husband is the problem,they were raised to think women has no place and if you give them attention they will misuse it.
    She will only have peace if the bil leaves that house and that way, gradually,the man will unlearn me relearn.

  22. Dear Poster, please try to ensure this attitude doesn't disturb your peace of mind. Calmly talk to your husband about the issue, prayerful deal with the matter, God solves all problems! Also in as much as it may hurt, keep showing love in your home. Try not to fight anyone or revenge. Your peace first. Ask the Holy Spirit for proper guidance.

      She could rake in millions a year, no respect will be coming from that man. Men like that sees women as beneath them. Matter of fact, the moment she gets successful is the exact same moment he will take a second wife. She will then be working to support him and his new wife. He will blame her that she went to work and he needs a wife in the home. Men like that you cannot win with, EVER.

  26. This is totally disrespectful;your husband is your problem here,your inlaw is only stepping on the bridge he built and aided to further disrespect you..

    He is already prepared for war even before he married you;so anything you say or do regarding his extended family is automatically an insult or you trying to tear them apart..

    From your Chronicle,your husband has no regard,respect or value for you..

    If you complain from today till tomorrow;people like your husband wont understand cos he expects you to sit like a furniture in "his" home and take whatever he dishes..

    Your husbands mindset is what needs to be changed;then he can see things a bit from your own angle..

    Lastly;upgrade yourself,get an income;leave the house and hustle so you wont notice all these disrespect in your absence..

    Most spouse dont necessarily respect you as a person;but they will sure respect the money you have..

    Get busy,make money;money stops lots of all these nonsense..

    And yea;your complaint are valid,just wrong to the oppressor being your husband..

  31. Abeg this is a BIG issue. My dear, IT IS NOT NORMAL AND NOT WHAT MARRIAGE IS. The problem is your Husband. He enables his brother with his attitude and mindset. What to do?

    Are you working? if not, get something doing. That will reduce the insult small.
    2. Talk to your husband. Don't talk harshly oh. Wake up at night and be moody for some days then cry and let his know how you feel about your husband's attitude. Don't bring his brother into it.
    3. Do you know an elderly person he respects? Go and seek counselling from them and get them to talk to him based on their opinion.

    Finally, pray. Let God arrest your husnand and cleave hus heart to yours...

    It is well jare, very painful situation. I have been there and overcome.

    1. LOL

      Wake a man up at night- This man described here should be woken up at night for a discussion. Please women need to learn that not all men should be woken up at night for discussions.

      Play moody for some days - Some men, including this man, may not look at the woman's face.

      Cry - a.ka. false tears. For the man described here? No comments.

      Serious issues demand cool headed, tactical and mutual beneficial approach not all these old wives approach.

      Poster how long have you been married?

      Have you taken time to study your husband beyond the listed faults.

      No good thing about your husband?

      Did any thing happen between your families during the marriage ceremonies. Did your family appear too greedy or over demanding.

      In all your narrative, you did not say what you have done to solve the challenges you listed.

      Just find out the cause of your husband behaviour. And face it by finding non-combative and non aggresive ways

      Find out what your husband likes about you. Even where there was no courtship, a man eventually likes something about his wife. Is it your cooking, house keeping, cheerfulness, s#x, anything, etc. That is your first key. Find how to use it to open the door.

      Playfully ask him the why questions whenever you both are alone at home - why dont you want me to HELP you do ..., take some of these burdens off you, remove the stress off you going to work or the shop and still ......, note while at it, everything should be about him.

      From the whys, move to belief in what you can do, I believe I can do... so you can focus on ..., give me a try a trial will convince you... I used to do it for my father....., my entire family before we married.

      From that move again etc. Somewhere will shift for you to put your foot hold.

      In all these, leave his brother alone. So long as your husband is providing, let him eat or open your pot. He will leave one day or he may grow tired. At least for now, he is not commanding you to go cook for him or do chores for him. He even cooks himself. Some brothers in law dont or even touch house chores.

      There are families where the younger brother may actually be the feeder of the house, financier of the family or owner of the husband's business/shop. Hope your husband is not in that case because some families hide it so well the wives never know.

      Getting a job may help you remove your attention but it will not necessarily change your husband. But do not go get a job for money to rank with your husband in your matrimonial home.

      And it may not be about your incapability. Some men grew up with the experience of a great loss involving decisions made by wives or sisters or aunties. Such experiences scar the memory and character.

      From your narrative it appears you do not have children yet. So move fast but calmly and peaceably to know where your marriage is going before the children come.

      Best wishes

  32. Stella I disagree with you please. She needs to be respected in her own home. It’s disrespectful of the husband to treat her that way that’s why the brother is also disrespecting her . I’ve had relatives from both sides live with us and there are laid down rules everyone must follow. Once an in-law wouldn’t follow these rules and I became frustrated and kept reporting to hubby but it started to seem like I was nagging so I stopped. When I cook and he’s not ready to eat I dish out his, cover it and put the rest in the fridge, this prevented him from going to my pot. He loved eating in between meals , somehow I didn’t know how to stop him from wasting beverages , I just replaced them when he finishes it, once he finished that biggest tin of milk in one week, so I stopped buying tin and started buying sachets and would share equally for everyone if you finish yours before it’s time to refill you are on your own. A lot of things I did before he left, now he’s calling that he wants to stay with us after nysc, omo the look I gave hubby ehn lol. These relatives can push someone.

  36. Kai! What women go through in the name of marriage!!!

    Madam please can you answer these questions?

    - How did you meet your husband? Hook up, arrangee, or falling in love after friendship?

    -. How did you marry your husband? Did you get pregnant and he was left with no choice but to marry you; or he fell in love with you and married you voluntarily?

    -. How old is your marriage? Because this appears like a marriage above five years.

    -. Are you working? If not, why would repairers and other people always meet you at home?

    -. Was your brother in-law already living with your hubby before you got married? This I think may be the real reason. If he was, it will be difficult for him to switch over to you easily. That's why on no account should any woman marry a man living with anybody. Be it parents, siblings or friends. Read Genesis 2:24

    Not every man is mature enough to know that wife comes first!

    -. Is your brother in-law working? If he is, he'd definitely have more value than you do in that house.

    -. Do you still have sex with your husband? Because, 80% of the time, men that misbehave, do so because of sex starvation. Especially when they are decent and don't want to go outside.

    -. Did his family endorse his marriage to you? If they didn't, ha! Ogaa o!

    -. What is the age difference between your husband and you? He's behaving really childish or you may be the childish one here. Who knows?!

    -. Do you have children? If you have been ttcing for long, he may begin to feel you are of no value to him (even though the problem may be from him). How does he treat his children? The same way he does to you (that's if you have)?

    -. Do you know how to cook well? Because that you are the woman of the house doesn't mean they should eat nonsense.

    -. Do you have good home management skills? Why will your husband always go to the market bikonu? Na wa! Are you a spendthrift?

    -. Are you sure that everything you wrote up there is the truth? Because, from your write-up, you are practically a saint!

    There are so many questions I'd have liked to ask but for space. Please answer the above questions sincerely and you'd surely find the reason for the treatment you are getting in your home.

    But I sense that you exaggerated it. Can it be that bad? Hmmnnn. Except he is under a spell, the treatment may not be as you have put out.

    Answer all the above questions and work on yourself in any area highlighted therein. So that you can be doubly sure it's no longer your fault.

    Summarily, pray for your home. Dialogue with your husband. Because if you don't tell him, he may not know that what he's doing is wrong. Yes, all you wrote up there is very wrong. No man should treat his wife like that.

    Pray your brother in-law out of your home. Though he is not your main problem. Your husband is. So never confront him. Maintain a cordial relationship with him till he leaves.

    Take charge of your home on your knees and play your part physically.

      What some women go through in some marriages.

      Your questions will certainly help the Poster IF she work with them for peace.

      But not everybody would have a situation to live alone with their partners after marriage.

      It is inevitable for some people that in-laws (or even the husband's or wife's "trainee boys/girls") will live with them. Women should learn to accept this fact of life. And it is common with and cultural with some tribes.

      Most of the points you made are, however, A grade.

  37. She married into a patriarchal family that has little regard or value placed on women beyond cooking, sexing and having children. I am not going to say he is a misogynist, but she is to him nothing more that being a househelp, vagina and having children, and she can be replaced in an instant. I am not even going to try to explore if he has feelings or even love there, men like those do not love nothing or nobody, they just exist in life, robotic, like an empty shell.

    I wonder what attracted her to him and why she even chose to marry such a cold person. She can stay in the marriage it is her choice, but she will wither away into nothingness if that behaviour continues. I do not know how to change the mindset of men like that. The brother is not the problem, he is just one aspect of things. It would be best to speak with a mother, sister, aunt or family friend from that family to really get a handle of how your husband was raised and the dynamics of their family. I fear that there is much about these ppl you do not know. I fear you have entered into something deeper than you imagined.

    Good luck!

    The mistake originated from moving in with the brother still there..I’m appalled by the women in accord that this husband’s behaviour is normal, y’all need therapy & rehabilitation! Why did he marry this lady and not the brother?

    Poster, are you sure it’s he’s biological brother and not lover, with you as a scandal concealment??
    Do you work? Are you able to go away until this is resolved? Do you have a sister or brother that can live with you?

I was married to someone like your husband. Stingy to the core and brought in useless family members and friends to live with us as he liked.I was almost sexually harrased by one of his friends. I told him he said maybe I wore something too sexy. I quickly gave my self brain, and left the marriage before I got pregnant. I went ahead to marry a white man. Now I have no stress at all and I am respected. Let him leave your house or die trying.Push him out dead or alive. Nonsense.

    Husband's relatives will just be disrespecting her anyhow when they come visiting. I can imagine her pains. Husband and wife are supposed to be friends, chatting and laughing and playing. She is the first person that he should tell things.

    Let her ignore them, the brother will leave to start his own family one day, I just pray the husband doesn't bring another person to live with them. When he leaves, I pray her husband treats her right.
