Dear LIB readers: I have no love for my husband

From a female LIB reader
I need advice from matured minds please.I will make the long story short..
I married at the age of 18yrs, and my husband is 19years olders than me. I already have 2 boys and 2 girls for him. We both came from a very rich family so money it not the issue here.
My problem is this, for some couple of years I found out that I have no atom of love for him. I just don't know how this happened but that's just how I feel. I am 33 yrs old now and I guess I am old enough and I have realized that I made a very big and expensive mistake in my life. 
His own problem is that his ego is as big as the mountains. Maybe young age those days made me over looked a lot of things.  Now I am older I have come to realize that we are not meant for each other at all. His choice of words are zero. He stopped me from work and said as long as he is living I will never work. I should take care of the kids. Bear in mind people he doesn't treat me badly physically. Actually he is those kind of men that tells you how every Eve out there wants to have a piece of him.. Bla bla bla!! Hope you now understand his type.
 
What do I do? I am very unhappy living with a man I don't love anymore and with 4 kids? Will I continue to live like this for the rest of my life?

People please do not advice me to kneel down and keep praying, I need a realistic advice not that I don't believe in the powers of prayers.. Most important I have no other man in my life and I am thinking about no one. Check out just 33 yrs of my life living like this till when? Somebody please help me..pleaseeeeeeeee.. I am living for my kids now, I am about dying due to stress of this issue..

  1. It's a mind decision, don't torture your mind too much. If u still want to love him again, then pray obviously and talk to him atleast for the kids. But if not.. then make that decision you feel you won't regret. WS

  3. Do you still have space in your heart for him if he changes his attitude and begin to listen and respect your dignity? If yes, are you legally married? If yes file for a pre-divorce application.

  9. Look your not a baby and u said it Ur self Ur now mature and u know what is right for u to do. Just sit him down and talk to him let him know how u feel,u both don't have to fight over nothing. Talk to him and explain things to Ur children. It not too late for u to start again,u don't have to displease Ur self. Do what makes u happy cos at the end of the day Ur happiness comes first. Do what's best for u for once and let the rest take care of it self.

  11. Re-invent love. Divorce is not an option. Sit him down and tell him(nicely) how his attitude, talks and ways are killing u and that u r willing to work it out! If he doesn't change after months and not even trying to change, u'll sit him again and tell him u are about to divorce him! ALl the best dear, 15yrs of ur life aint joke!

  15. Sorry sis, d deed is done. Wel u should learn 4rm ur mistakes nt 2 allow ur daughter marry at 18 moreover 2 som1 much more older than her.
    Secondly u can pray u catch him cheating on u, so that u'l file 4 a divorce at least that is justifiable, bt u knw is nt d best. Unless is that bad.
    Finally i knw u dnt want 2 pray much, bt u have 2. God is d only1 dat can change anybody, so b faithful 2 God nd just maybe he'l help u. Jisike

  18. At 18 that was way too young to get married, you had your whole life ahead of you and to marry a man 19 years your senior, that was something else. The thing is, sometimes marriages like this works, because the girls look at their husbands as gods, I guess that doesn't apply in your case. The big conundrum here is your kids, no matter what anyone advices you, you have to have them at the back of your mind, knowing that you don't want to alienate them. At 33, you still have a lot to live for, I'd advice you to leave your marriage, because an unhappy marriage is as good as no marriage. If you want to leave then make it a clean break but if you want to continue to stay, then I'd advice you take up a hubby, something to take your mind away from your marriage. I'd even advice you to talk to somebody close to your family about it.

  19. I'll start off with, wot made u go into marriage at the age of 18 when your whole life is in front of u and u said you both cam from wealthy homes, if u decide to divorce him now there's no way it won't hv an adverse effect on ur kids....try going for marriage counselling with him, maybe that would help.....

  20. Babes I hope u learn frm her story, quit rushing into marriage and get established love wud come eventually: get a job, get an MSc, experience change. Be happy! Life aint abt constants alwys bt varieties so make urs better!
    As for the lady in question, stop bein bored abeg! Play wt ur kids if ure dat bored...

  23. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. When lovers become strangers. What makes you feel you will be happy after you leave him. You need to wake up to reality and understand what the institution 'marriage' is all about. Talk to a marriage counsellor.

  24. Hmmmm... ds one pass me n sincerely, I don't know what to advice but u have stayed wiv him since u were 18 n now u r 33, u just discovered u don't feel love for him...Am just gonna say try to rekindle what Lil love u ever felt for him when u guys were dating or newly wedded... wish u luck

  26. Why would you marry at the age of 18?

    And you married someone older than you by 19 years. You be Ozuo

  27. U α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ vry realistic wit words so I will also be fair with mine but let me remind u, u already have 4 kids there α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ questions I need 2 ask you; 1. Α̲̅я̩̥̊ε̲̣̣̣̥ u ready 2 be single 4 d rest of ur life? 2. Have you ever think of wat outcome of divorce may bring? Most importantly you children consider them.... D last No reason single man will ever married you will 4 kids anyway u claimed money isn't an issue shaa! Maybe 4 dat u may find golddigger... But all dis into consideration, you'll find answer 2 ur problem. Best of luck in your decision cheersssssss!

  28. Sorry I can feel ur pain,that why I always tell people that it is better to wait than to regret meanwhile continue praying cos there is nothing impossible for GOD and for the sake of ur children u need to be strong more than before and I pray mercy of GOD will show in ur life.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Its obvious that u married young and didnt have enough dating experience. I wont ask u to park up and leave. You need to shock ur husband into knowing he could loose u for good. 15 years and 4 kids is a lot to give up for ur ego, I am sure he will look up when u do. Get a makeover, work out and be physically fit, wear more fashionable clothes, get a hubby even if its enrolling in a catering school. Reachout to old friends and have decent fun. When he notices that u are happy, more attractive and more condident, he is going to sit up and try to treat u better. You myt just find urself falling in love with him all over

    ReplyDelete
  30. Well... No Lady prays for a broken home or unhappy marriage.. I wld advice u to follow ur mind, if u wanna walk out of ur marriage fine and if u think u can still cope with all u said fine too.. Or better still go and see a psychologist.

    ReplyDelete
  31. my dear, sit him down n talk to him, if it dnt work den involve both parents....if it still dnt work den divorce him, leave him for d eves dat can cotail his excesses k. Mennnn aint wotrh d pain

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think you should separate for a while maybe the love will come back or else you can slip into depression. But before then tell him what he does that you don't like and if he doesn't handle it well then take the break

    ReplyDelete
  33. eya, omo marriage is a different ball game.

    ReplyDelete
  34. If u don't love him anymore n u think there is nothing he can do 4 u to love him, den explain tins to him n ask 4 a divorce. U cant live ur life in hell. People shud always try to make demsefs happy b4 making odas happy. If u re sad n u re making odas happy, u won't do it with contentment. So pls bi wise.

  35. The truth is, your options are limited and they are, either you stay on for your kids and live on as a dutiful 'not loving' wife while you let your mind explore some possibilities such as channeling all these emotions to a productive means. Or, you can actually leave the kids behind, leave the marriage behind and go explore whatever you think is out there. Just take note, you probably don't have a job, you are 33 and married with four kids. Relationship wise your options are limited because truly, other men will just want a piece of you but not all of you because you come with way too many extra luggage. However, that does not mean you won't find a man out there to actually accept you as you are. My advise is this, the grass is green where you water it not on the other side. So, look for something to either live or leave for cos truly, love is not what sustains "for better for worst" marriages, it is "FUST" - Friendship, Understanding, Sacrifice and Trust.

    ReplyDelete
  36. My sincere advise to you would have been to opt out of the marriage, but this might affect your children depending on the kind of relationship your husband has with them. Keep pleading with him to allow you do something you have passion for & I'm sure you'll atleast have something to occupy yourself with most time.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Eeyah I suggest u stick with him cos of the kids sake... Try something's different to make ur marriage work... Wish you all the best dear

    ReplyDelete
  38. 2 options ; u stay or u leave
    u stay; u tryin make d best out of it or u kill ur husband, u leave, u just leave! i prefer u stay ad get urself a guy u did be cheating with. that ll make u happier. gud luck

  43. Difficult situation.. are u independent enough to take care of your kids, I mean money wise? How old are your kids? If they are matured enough, you can explain to them and get a divorce at least to find your own way as you married at a very young age. I really don't believe in living in a loveless marriage.. perhaps he will take you more seriously when you tell him your leaving him and maybe he can try to rekindle the love that made you marry him.. best of luck in whatever you choose to do.

    ReplyDelete
  44. wow. I feel very sorry for you girl. I don't believe in divorce but you sound so miserable and that's the last thing anyone should be. Why not try SEPARATION?

    you could try weighing the pros and cons. is ending the marriage worth having your kids be raised in a broken home? or do you think you'd be better off single. I feel bad for you that you've had to waste all these years of your life not working. he sounds the arrogant type.

    at least you can learn from it and other people will learn from your story. you can't change a man. Only God can. and another thing men who think they are God's gift to women and even have the effrontery to tell you they can get any girl, beware of them. they are suffering from low self esteem. and such men tend to attempt lowering a woman's self esteem so they can feel better about themselves either through mental abuse and all sorts of mind fuckery. if he can truly, get any girl you would not feel the need to say it out loud.

  45. Your life was jst starting wen u got married. 18? You said prayers is the type of advice u are looking n u can't leave him now becos of children. Wat do want us to say? My dear if you loved him once, u can still love him again. The man u fell in love with is still in dere. Goodluck

  46. I had the same experience too. I was already pregnant. Mine was violent as hell, I took up courage, spoke with my parents and with their support I left. I was barely 21 then. Now I have a child and am still waiting for my own God given man. Pls speak with your family, let them guide you.

  52. Please dear I will advice you try and over look his weakness and begin to see his strenght and love him. Be positive. U see the problem is that you have already conditioned your mind that you are no longer game probably because you didn't taste life before you got married. I strongly believe that you are cheaply falling for someone else. Yes! So don't allow deceivers to push you away from your marriage because those children will live to hate you forever. The fact that you came from a rich home shouldn't make you to accept the headship of your husbandmen all have ego so be humble.

  53. The problem is you r idle,dat's y u hv these thots in ur head. Start up a business but if ur hubby still refuses, then enroll in a Gym. Working out will help u feel good abt urself and it'll relieve u of stress. Hope this helps.

  54. Dear, marrige is not a do or die issue, but it is advisable 4 u to remain becos of ur kids, consider ur kids 1st, 1st to comment

  55. my dear dere is absolutely nothin u can do, m not crucifying you for gettin married @ 18 n u are still very young,bt dont eva think of gettin married again,cos that will b a grt threat to your kids...for their sake endure wateva you c there,just have it in mind that your children are ur husband,u can lure him into securing a shop for you then stock it up with goods,u will use dat to while away time...dont eva think of fornicating oooo,its a sin against GOD and HOLYSPIRIT..may God lead you tru

    ReplyDelete
  56. hmmm..its a good thing that you are not suffering financially. My mom had the same problem so she left naija and my siblings and I left with her too. I dont know how you can do this esp if you are in nigeria where everyone will tell you to pray to love him (which can happen and if he changes too). you can talk to a marriage counsellor or get a divorce. you have one life. you can't stay in a bad relationship just for the kids. I know what my mum went thru with my dad and my siblings and I wanted her to leave my dad. So be good to yourself so your kids won't lose a mom from stress or worse ailments.

  59. I advice u take it to God in prayers, I know thats not what u wanna hear but my dear its the only better than choice than walking out of ur marriage because divorce isn't an option if u are a Christian
    Pls keep ur relationship with God only hes the only one that can turn things around to favor u.if u believe u will receive.

  65. When I started reading, I was going to tell you to manage d man, live for your kids , God and your job. But then u said he doesn't allow u work. That has got to be difficult. Think of what u like doing. What do u think you would want to do as a job. Then start doing it small small. Tiny tiny. Then ull have to zerorize it pride and humbly plead with him to allow you. That it's very small and won't take ur time. Cry set. That u need to so something else. U has his flaws buy he doesn't seem like a bad man. If u plead enuf, he will agree. Then u Can start small, pour yourself into it and derive happiness and fulfilment from it and from training ur children. As for d love for d man, just manage. U have no choice in dis country. So just manage and focus on getting d wok and it kids. All d best my sister

    Woah,u married too early and under pressure.And its a big minus that u dont have a work tho there's still hope sinz your parents are rich. Well, yes i knw its unafrican to divorce but in this case before your children gets affected by future mishaps sinz there's no love, files for divorce dear. Like it or not once he finds out u dont love him, he'll hit u,take away the kids or any kinda thing a frustrated angry man will do. Its becoming a global trend that couples will harm each other just to "tie down" their partner like using acid,stab u, i mean, i've even seen such news here on this blog. At the moment, u are safe becos he doesn't know u dont love him but when he finds out,i can assure u that you and myabe your kids(if he's so heartless) will no longer be safe.. Tho i wish for u to have a change of heart and love him like a wife should..

  71. Hi my dear, congratulation for this your wonderful approach. I wish you to stand on the word of God. My advise to you is to have a quality discussion with your husband about finding something for you to be doing. I do believe you are watching a lot of Nigerian movies and you have started thinking that life is "COMPLETE".
    As an Igbo man, I came from a family of what I now call 'WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP'. That is in the days when someone will see a man or woman and match them as Husband and Wife. By this alone, this two people live together for more than forty years without any problem --- 'THAT WAS MARRIAGE'.
    It's important to look beyond the earthly things and think about FAMILY.
    Ask your husband if you can go back to SCHOOL. At the age of 33, you are still very young. Please think of what you will like to be in this life and go back to School "For Your Self". Study and understand the concept of that "Field of Study".
    Look at your Children and try to make your husband UNDERSTAND how you FEEL. Life is What you make it.
    God Be With you and your Family.
    Thanks

  72. You married when you were too young and immature to make such an important life altering decision. the age gap between you and your husband is too much, by the time he is retiring you are just getting into your prime.
    However you need to understand the sanctity of the marriage vow if you are a God fearing Christian.

  74. Marriage is a life contract... For better for worse for richer for poorer till death do you part.

    We are not born to just love someone, we choose to love, what you really need to do is to understand yourself more better, what you like doing, your favourite spot to have fun, tell him. Express yourself, maybe you have been practising the same routing every day and that's kinda make it boring. Try new things, develop a great love for him.. Love is not all about money, not about status, this things dies along when the person dies, but when the love comes genuinely from the heart the memory never fades away.

    Choose to love him, and watch the kind of friends you keep, and never share your marriage experience with anyone. Share it only with your marriage mate.

    As for his Ego, learn to study him very well. Understand him and let him know how much it hurt you in a respectful way. Most importantly tell him this:

    "I choose to stay with you for all the thing that you have done right, and not to leave you for the one thing you have done wrong, i love you."

    Tell him you want him to rekindle the love you share with him.

No make what believe me u can't over emphasis the power of prayers. Again try to always see the good side of ur husband. Close ur eyes to his bad sides and u will see urself loving him. And for the sake of the kids pls try. Nothing dey for this world oh I tell u. Our stay in planent earth is tempary so pls just forcus more in Christ and u will see thing turuing out the way u want.

Madam so many women are in this condition too,I know of one, married at 17 to one that was 23 years her older and shes 28 now and crying,sweetheart you are inside you are inside.My advice to you is that continue the way you are doing by not keeping extra marital affairs or committing adultery,do what your husband says you should do and he will love you and you in turn remember all those things that made you love him 14 years ago, im sure its not gone its just hidden look for it.Finally pray, that God give you back the man you loved 14 years ago there is nothing God cant do!your husband loves you and im sure you do too#itsbuchi!

  87. Get a divorce right away,u hv d money so u wil live comfortably on ur own wiv ur kids.u can live lyk dat 4 d rest of ur life.nd bear in mind 33yrs wiv 4 kids,damn ur stil a young nd hot woman...

  88. Since you said money no be problem, divorce him and get into the game again. Maybe you'll find something you're more in love with.

    Divorce sounds crazy but more crazy is living with a man you don't love at just 33 and also making the poor man live with a woman who does not love him when he can also get someone better for him.

    This lack of love is going to be a problem @ some point if you guys keep forcing it.

  89. My Mum lives same way with a very selfish and self centred father for 20 years now...the only reason she's staying is for us(children). The only reason she is staying Is because she won't be able be able to burden of raising three children alone if she left,being that its not the same in your case I suggest you leave him and take your children with you

  90. In marriage, you will fall in and out of love, unless you never loved him in the first place. If u did, then try to reminisce on the good times and hold on to them.

    Talk to him about why u need to work and that you can still take care of the kids. If symptoms persist and u r sure u can handle the kids...then

Also, tell him how you feel and see if you can work things out. Life's too short to be unhappy and living with regret.

  101. Why do you ask for advice when you've already made up your mind? Well, 14 years being with him, you should have understood him by now but pls take a look at his positive effects, weigh it with the negative and i'm sure his goods outweighs. Don't be the agent to destroy your home and don't allow your emotions destroy you either. Fight the battle within you and I am sure you'll win. There's no happiness in divorce that you have made up your mind for.

  103. i am 101% that you are seeing someone or you are thinking about it. first of all after how many years with kids you just realized you dont love your husband. Really? i am sure your family did not force you into this marriage since you both come from a wealthy home;so poverty did not play a role here. My dear "Fill in those gap with his good qualities,those good qualities that made you love him at first, those good qualities of him that made you stay with him all these past years. Nothing better is out there they will use you and dump you". your children need their father in their lives. Go and ask single parents how they role , they will tell you E NO easy at all.

  104. The source of all wise counsel(the bible) offers; 'wisdom is profitable to direct'[Proverbs 4:7]. Not to be religious, wisdom is the only way out of every situation and the source of all wisdom is God almighty- seek him! I'm sorry but that's the only way, no advice from any LIBer no matter how long they've been in marriage can substitute God's. Finally...in all thy getting get understanding, the bible continues. Understand that marriage has only one exit- death. The rest is up to you.

  109. How come I feel so much for you....? Thank you for this post dear, it will teach a lot of us a lesson of. Speed in marriage..if you are living for your kids, how much do ur kids love their Father? If a lot! Then erase the thought of living him because you 'll end up breaking those kids...and ego! How much I will hate him..NNe, did u say you are is wife?...or slave? If wife, why do you allow him take such a silly decision about you alone! Did. You even talk to both parents abt it? Do you know its idleness that's making you dislike so much..If you were busy, go to work and come back in the evening , travel out and stay Long, he I'll appreciate the little time he ll spend wit you! And you on ur own will be happy. Distance has its own role to play...Kudos to you! For nt cheating on him . I will pray for you too. I suggest you get busy immediately before your heart gets evil (u won't know I swear). I wish you well. *Joan*

After all these still put it in prayer cos when u put God first in ur home evryother thing will be easy for u. I pray God help u in ur home.

  128. Ask yourself this question, what happens when the kids grow up and leave home? What will then keep u in the marriage. And on the other hand , what man would want to marry a woman with 4kids. If u dnt mind remaining single for a long time then i guess u cut ur losses and leave. You deserve to be happy. Dnt forget u only live once.

  133. Well, I guess you were blinded by love when you married him. Love that has now faded over the years. And you said he's 19 years older. At 33, you can still get married to someone else but divorce isn't cool. And what about your 4 kids? Maybe you should talk to him. Tell him how fed up and unhappy you are. Most men who have much younger wives always adore their wives but it seems this your own is allowing pride and a mighty ego get in the way. Why should he tell you not to work? Rubbish! In the end, it's all about what makes you happy, so that's it. Do exactly what you feel will make you happy and give you peace. (LiNDA!!! post my comment o )**kween**

  134. In as much as u got married @ d age 18,i believe @ d age of 25-28,ur mind shud be fully mature as to know what you want in life. Now ur 33 with 4kids,living in depression and regrets. I can't advise u to file for a divorce but rather dialog with ur husband abt what u dnt like abt him, spice things up in ur marriage, stop tieing wrapper round ur breast, a singlet and a short will do. Change ur house furniture's and it positions, set ur bedroom in a sexy way that will make u want ur man all day everyday. Aim at always looking good and above all open ur heart to love. Love ur husband,ur kids,ur family in a million ways...I wish u all the best.

  137. Been married for the past 15yrs is already a life time of commitment and if u r feeling stressed out beyond ur limit now i suggest u leave, cos a day is gonna come when u going to blow a fuse. And that could be dangerious for u and mostly ur kids. Marriage isnt a do or die affair, u stay in it by choice and not by force. You r young and if u feel trapped in it and not happy, then have a plan for ur financial freedom, execute it quietly n when u feel u have enough financial n emotional stability to fight ur husbands ego, take care of ur kids then u shud take a walk cos you only get to live once. So leave for ur happiness

    My dear, I understand you cause am going through same. In this country of ours, a lot of us remain in marriage for our kids, I have attempted leaving mine servally but I remember my own up bringing where my mother left because she wasn't happy anymore and the next woman who married my dad maltreated us like mad. What am trying to say is that if you leave your home, you leave the faith and future of your kids to another woman and if you leave with your 4 kids, that love you are seeking will hardly come. So my dear occupy your mind with the love you have for your kids and ignore the fact that you no longer love your husband. Trust me it works for me, I will also work for you. Goodluck

    I'm talking from expirience.since my wife and I seperated its has been hell 4 me, even though I have all the girls in the world to be with. Every night I pray God bring my wife back home. My sister you can be happy, you can still love him again and your love can change him. My name is Osas.I also. Want to pls ask all of you to remember my home in your prayers.thank you.

  145. This situation is heart-breaking to me in particular because I have seen it on many different occasions. The age disparity is definitely playing a big role here. You are young and bubbly, while he is more settled in his years. As painful as it may be to hear, you need to realize that there may only be a painful way if you want out completely. if that is the case, how will you take care of yourself and your kids? Yes, prayer is good, and God also wants us to act. I'd advise you to seek out a support group online, since you're a prayerful woman perhaps look for such a group online where you can confidentially speak to other women who may be in this same situation. It is always best to seek advice from those who know what you're going through, and who will take you seriously. Second, perhaps you could try to engage your husband in some activities....perhaps boredom is what is affecting you. He may very well be scared that if you're working, someone may 'snatch' you. Since you say he's a good man, can you try to talk to him and ask him to at least take you out, etc? Wishing you all the best

  160. Women you always bother yourselves about nothing. The problem with most women is that they don't know the value of what they have until they lose it.lady, the issue here is because you married at a very young age, you feel didn't ur explore ur youth as you should and hence when you go out and see single girls of ur age living freely ,you feel caged and traped in ur married. I know you feel there is a life outside marriage that you are missing, but girl there is really nothing outside there oo. Try and concentrate on ur marriage and learn to luv ur husband bcuz if you divorce him and go outside there, men will fuck you black and blue and discharged you afterwards. You should also know that you are an after four so nothing for you on the street. Part of ur problem also is boredom, so try and plead with ur husband to get you something doing so you don't feel lonely atimes. Pls face ur home bcuz if you give other girls chance, they willl snatch ur husband and love and treat him the way u hv never done.

    Try to LOVE Him as your own husbond for better for worst, incert a piece of chocolate in his mouth when his's back from work and take him as a Father, Brother and Sister; make him feel at home, in return he will Love, cherish care and take you as it's own.

    In conclusion, pray for him, see if you need change your name for good, then watch and see what happened next.
    We feel for you LIB, good luck.

  174. Since you say money is not an issue for you, start spending time by yourself. This will allow you think and plan without the distraction of your family. By this I mean travel alone. If you can afford to, study abroad. It doesn't have to be an academic course. Go for a one or three month course. This will give you an opportunity to weigh your options. My guess is your first child is 12 and the youngest, 5. You need to plan. You feel this way because you've changed. But your husband still sees you as the naive teenager he married. Start developing yourself. If need be, see a professional counsellor. You need to be self aware. To know yourself, your needs, wants, desires and aspirations. Getting up and leaving will not answer these questions. And you're the only one with answers to these questions. While you're discovering yourself, build a stronger relationship with your kids. You will need this should your husband attempt to turn the kids against you. I'm married but it doesn't mean I have given up on myself because I'm a wife and mother. Start believing in yourself and call his bluff. If he says other women want him. Then let him go to them. He's cheating you. Making you put your life on hold while his goes on at full speed. Sit up and start living. Even if he leaves you, you'll find someone else.

  176. It is only God that can help you .you don't love someone else, so learn to live with your man you know if you tell him your true feelings you will deflate his ego but you may have no choice but to talk to him candidly about the problem. Remember you have 4 beautiful kids and it's no fun bringing up kids without their father. He is define toy taking you for granted,probably because you just sit there being preety chopping his money. Get a job insist ,push and cry as this will increase your self esteem, you will also find his attitude towards you will change when he sees you dressing up for work looking preety.

  178. You seem to really hate your husband mi think it's best you leave him as you have been with him for 15 years and have no love for him.I don't think you ever will love him.So walk away and maybe since his ego is d problem,someebody will notify him that you have posted this as somebody who knows u can identify u and let him know his ego issues and that may just make Jim change but for now walk away is my best advice as it seems u totally hate this man and u can even get rid of him if care is not taken.

  181. You won't believe that I feel exactly the way u feel! Though our ages differ, i'm older , my story is almost d same as yours. I however know why I stopped loving him, he is a two faced cheating bastard despite d fact that he is 15 years older. I have also prayed and i'm tired of praying, I have 6 children and wish there was a way out of this hell!

  183. Hi, sori bout how you feel, but d fact is don't think of break up now cos of ur kids.identify ur hubby's excesses and try to make it look faultless by feeling all men do same, some day he will sit u down and address his faults,marriage is not a bed of roses,u taste both d bitter and d sweet part.start all over and begin to see him like u just meet him and he is destined for u.

  184. U getting married at Age 18 is not an excuse, divorce is not an option either if u love ur kids, adultery is outta the equation, u need to try and rekindle some feelings for this man and try to build on it, and u shud consider asking God for help #nothing is impossible with him u know

  189. Like serzly I can't advice you to break up, the kids need both of you together and I think you re tired cos u do virtually nothing. An idle mind is a devils workshop, you need to start working and keep the mind busy but to divorce the kids need u pp love

  190. The key to your happiness lies within yourself. Forget about what and how you think he should be, and accept your man the way it is knowing that you cannot change him. Ego is a general problem with men. Most of the time, we configure our minds to how we want our spouse to be, and we get unhappy if it turns opposite. Infact, you might be surprise he feels the same about you. The only major problem I see is YOU. You have to make a choice between making yourself happy and sad.

  191. My advise is that you should have a serious discussion with ur husband on how u feel(do not tell him u don't love him again).let him know u r not happy and u need to be happy.the last solution would have been a divorce.I'm sure u guys can still find a meeting point.

  192. Marriage is patience, endurance and persievarance. It is also for better for worse. And if you notice, all marriages when it get to a stage it will look as if it will crack. But if you have patience, you will overcome it. I will suggest that you should go back to your work because anything can happen at anytime, if you have your job you will be able to sustain your self and the kids. Please do not think of living him to stay alone or to re-marry, it will affect the future of the kids. Almighty God will continue to guide you to the right path and build your home.

  195. A whole lot of people will tell u different things.....but life is too short.......leave if u are not happy.....stay if u think there is a chance of happypiness.......your happiness is what is more important..........as for your kids staying because of them......is teaching them how weak u are.

  196. Oh my jee! I just lack words. For the sake of the kids my dear just stay and luv them. The Bible permits divorce based on adultery by ur partner. U need to make heaven, pls stay cos life in eternity matters a lot.
