Dear LIB readers: Should I marry a man who always threatens but has never hit me?

From a female LIB reader
I've been dating this guy for almost two years now and although he has never hit me, he's always threatening violence. He would tell me things like 'If you don't shut your mouth, I'm going to smack you. Why would you behave like that? You deserve to be punched. One of these days I will give you a dirty slap. I don't take nonsense, I will beat you. You are pushing me, one of these days you will get it." He has been saying things like this for almost two years but has never laid a finger on me. Now he wants to marry me. I will never tolerate violence on my person and because of his words I'm hesitant to accept his proposal. When I told him what my reservations were, he said he's never hit a woman and doesn't plan to. So why does he say it all the time? My friend told me men change when they become husbands. Would he act out his threats when I marry him?

  3. Ur self esteem must be the lowest of the low. A violent man is a violent man either in words or deed. Why are u still with such a character? U need to ask urself this question: would he say that to his fellow men? He is a bully. RUN

  16. Well if you being together 2 years and he has never hit you, I doubt he will. Maybe he is saying all those things to let you know what some men would do in such situations, look at it that way.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Run oooooooo. The moment you become his Mrs, its all over o. He will beat you blue black. Take it from someone who has the same issue. God bless you as you run for your life.

  18. That is a seed growing in him and it will soon mature, he will carry out his threat on you sooner or later....

  20. Yes, he will love. There's a red flag now, take the hint before it's too late. Everything starts in the mind; if he can conceive it, he will do it one day. He says it because he is thinking it, and actions are always a result of preconceived of thought. Marriage is a lot harder than a courtship, and your patience as individuals will be really tested. If he is threatening to hit you now, when you get married and you provoke his anger even more, he will eventually do it. If you cannot tolerate it, don't put yourself in that situation. Furthermore, his words are very harsh; telling you things like 'You deserve to be punched' are very disrespectful. And if he does not respect you now, he will not change when you become his wife. I pray you make the right decision. All the best. x

  21. My dear, think about your life and if you are ready to carry the burden of domestic violence. Not only is there physical violence but also disrespect and violence in speech counts, because they can easily escalate. Please visit my fashion blog

  25. yes pls marry him.

    ReplyDelete
  26. If truly he has anger issues by saying those words, he will definitely do it and do it in a big way. The first time he might hit you will be deadly. So better think with your medulla, test his anger extremely and pray for God guidance.

    Investigate him a lot from families, friends and colleagues before you accept that proposal of his.

    Good luck

    ReplyDelete
  27. Discuss it with him, and you both should seek counsel or get closer to God. And accept his proposal but let it come with conditions based on the fact that if he doesn't stop speaking to u in that manner you would reconsider his proposal. Just wait till u see a change before marrying him. No need to have a wedding in a haste

    ReplyDelete
  28. yes he will. thts even whn his real person comes to manifestation.

    ReplyDelete
  29. My dear even if he doesn't hit you,those words he say belittles your ego and self confidence.Remember out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.Believe you me,he'll soon carry out that threat.The rest of it you know the answer

    ReplyDelete
  30. He will one day...that's the truth.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Don't marry him - One day he will match his threats / words with action

    ReplyDelete
  32. The fact that he even utters the words to a grown woman shows what he's actually thinking and who he is.
    That he thinks and says you deserve to be punched is belittling on your person.you will blame yourself in the long run as I'm 99.9% positive he will hit you one day and once it happens the first time,that's it.

  33. thts whn his real person comes to manifestation.

  34. you should watch your mouth then. you talk too damn much if he aint a violent man and yet you push him to that limit. HE SHOULD BE RETHINKING MARRYING YOU. CHECK YOURSELF!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. He's prolly never gonna hit u, but u also need not push him to the edge, women also change wen they get married and do things to make men mad, he's only keeping u in check with d threats, almost 2yrs is a long time, if he cud hit u, he wud have long b4 now.

  38. "This matter mess for my mouth, come add honey join. I no fit swallow mess and wouldnt want to spit the honey".

    My dear fellow woman,

    Many of the men that hit their wives/girlfriends dont give prior notice or warning before they do so.

    I am also one of the people that can use mouth to pull down cocoahouse but i can not kill common cockroach in the house. When i was in school, i can remember the day i moved out of my room because a lizard entered and i could not kill it.

    Althought, my own threats is not in the aspect of harrasiing my spouse. Most times, when am threatening my neices or people around me, my husband will say 'enu e ti po ju'.

    less i divert from your case, what am trying to say is that, your husband to be may be somebody that can not hurt any woman but i will still say most men are unpredictable, especially in today's world where we hear of marital issues, violence and killings here and there.

    Please marry him if you love him and pray for him always because some women out there will prefer their husband to issue this kind of threat than what they are going through now.

  41. He will so beaaaattt the hell out of u.....u better run for your life. One does not need to hit u physically before u r hurt....words also hurt, and one who genuinely loves you would not say things that would hurt you, unless it's to make u a better person.

    ReplyDelete
  42. marry him...he will never beat u...u sef behave your self and stop pushing him

    ReplyDelete
  43. Pray and be focused...be watchful and submissive too,just be the right and ideal woman because the truth is,saying such doesn't mean he can or cannot hit you,likewise,if u start with another man and he didn't touch or hit u during courtship,it doesn't mean he would never hit u wen married,pray for the right man and focus your strength on the positivities...dear,just pray to God for directions and don't be a lady that will do anything to warrant been physically abused by any man...play your part well and pray to God to guide u! All the best. Tee!

  44. Marry him first and come back to tell us your experience Mumu. If he's not comfortable, you won't think twice. mtcheeewwww

    ReplyDelete
  45. Girl,guess u should watch it urself,what do u do/say to make him say all these,may be in some cases,u are just difficult to controle and that's theonly way to shut u up,I don't support violence or man hitting a woman,but hey,u should slow down,watch things u say and choose new words,since he hasn't hit u,then he loves but finds it difficult to stop u coz u also don't know when to stop or shut up.

    ReplyDelete
  46. U want my opinion then pls D0 N0T MARRY THIS MAN. What man uses wrds like that. My friends dad never hit her mum till he married her n knew she wasn't going nowher. Sme men are like that they plan n wait. A guy 1nce said 2 me All this shakara u doin 4 me n dealing with me. After ur in lve with me Ill deal with u. He said it as a joke bt I luked at his eyes n I knew..Thnk God I wasn't in love yet so I dumped him asap. 4 me if u aint sayin 'Imma smack ur ass' in that sexy way that I cnt wait 2 get with u then sry its a no no 4 me. But then again this is jst my opinion I culd b wrng---C21

  55. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, moreover, in the space of two years how many times do he say the words I love you and am happy to be with you.

    In my opinion, if you marry him, you have given him the certificate of marriage to abuse you. RUN.

    1. 1st, it sounds like you could be annoying, confrontational, aggravating, someone who likes to start/cause arguments etc (not judging you or anything like that). I think he'll definitely hit you if you guys get married; he might not plan to but he most likely will. After 2yrs, imagine a huge bucket being filled with a cup of water every time you annoyed him throughout those 2yrs. By now, that bucket would be almost full - imagine that to be his tolerance and anger control. He probably hasn't hit you yet because maybe 1. He just doesn't see himself as a woman beater, 2. You're not yet attached to him and you could leave him if he did, 3. He actually loves you or like you more than any other female he's known etc. But the fact he threatens you when ever he's not happy with you means that to some level or degree, he sees violence as an option at some point in time (consciously or sub-consciously for him). If you marry him, 1st his patience/tolerance is probably thin by now; the smallest form of annoyance can set him off; now add the fact that you'll now be all his, you have nowhere to go with more chances of annoying him more frequently. My dear, his first eruption would be very drastic because for his self control and all the anger he's been suppressing all these years will come to a head at once. And if you survive that, it'll only continue. The slightest glitch would trigger a violent reaction, even when you're not being annoying or aggravating. Lord help you. I think you should go your way and try to adjust your attitude towards guys in the future and he needs to start with someone else who he doesn't have any pent up, underlying anger towards.

    we women cud b annoying some times but there are ways a real man sud address it not d "i will beat u threats"...make e grow up jare!; and you too give him some respect, stop bruising his ego (if that is the case here tho).

  69. Pls don't!! One day he will give life to his words. These are warning signs, a man should never talk to a woman that way. You deserve better, you are valuable, God loves you beyond words and would never treat you that way, so why accept it from a mere man? Don't marry him, God will bring His perfect plan for you. That man needs work, he doesn't know what true love is, pls leave him before you fall a victim.

  79. He has not hit you yet because he has not married you. He WILL hit you once you guys marry.

    My sister's husband was like that. They dated for 3 years but he never hit her, only threats.
    5 months after they married, he slapped her. She made a big fuss out of it and family settled the matter. Now, even family is tired of getting involved because the beatings are nearly daily.

  84. Marry am na, abeg quickly too. Stupid question. Do you think abuse is only physical? Silly thing like you. All these new born babies talking about marriage like its a walk in the park, you wan turn yaself to correctional institute? Na you were no get degree for psychology and human behavior wan come cure an abusive person. Ladies bikonu, domestic violence is not only when a guy lays his hands on you. Its also when he uses words to intimidate you, belittle you. When he his being mentally, emotionally and then physically abusive. The first two, you don't see the scars but they show themselves in your behavior, how you feel about yourself, your self esteem. He will beat you down mentally until you begin to accept that you are nothing and without him, you remain nothing. Biko, if a guy threatens you with words, take ya slippers and run because one day go be one day, wey him go wan test out that theory wey him dey talk about since. Na your face and stomach he go begin from. Child, make I no hear say you dey write Linda Ikeji say, remember me?, now the guy is beating me, what should I do. I swear I go enter this computer bitch slap you worst than he did, you hear me so.

  85. Whom would you rather have? A man who doesnt threaten you but goes ahead to pounce on you at the slightest provocation, or a man who utters perpetual threats but would never muster the courage to hit you? Have you ever heard the saying about empty drums making the loudest noise? I hardly think this man will hit you. If you like him, its up to you. Cheers!

  95. He will beat you once he marries you and would claim he has been warning you! He his just waiting for when he thinks he has the upper hand!He has been warning you subconsciously and you are been warned now! And by the way threatening violence in itself is a form of abuse and violence.
    Its like owning a dog (it stays outside in the compound),its aggressive towards you by barking at you a lot and you begin to wonder if it will one day bite you and then you are considering bringing it indoors thinking maybe if you bring it indoors it will stop! Babe it will bite you most definately!!

  100. This is not rocket science, he has threatened to beat and smack you, on numerous occasions, but he hasn't actually done it!!! And you want to know if it is okay to marry him, like play like play, once you get married, all the threats he has made against you, would become a reality!!! Marriage is not a do or die institution o, You better end the relationship as soon as possible!!! Just because you want to be become "Mrs" by fire by force, you you are willing to endure a marriage, that would be built on the foundation of threats and domestic violence, for 2 years you have seen the signs, you better run and don't look back, bloody idiot!!!whizman

  101. Yes pls marry him and one day very soon you wil be slapt

  102. Seriously???? Reader, You must be one dumb ass to ask such a silly question. In fact go ahead and marry him. If you are waiting for someone to tell you to run I'm sorry for you. But for real, why would you even still be in a relationship with this 'person'?

    This is really a decision you've got to make ursef, as no Liber will be there with you in the journey of marriage, although he's likely not to lift a finger becos even some guys that don't even threaten you during the courtship still beats up their women in marriage, talk it out with him, pray and follow your heart, it is well.

  106. Men are always in their best behaviours with ladies prior to marrying them. If his is to regularly threaten to smack you then I bet he'll take it futher when you eventually marry him.......I may be wrong! But if you really love and wanna give him a chance, then you can go ahead and stop giving him nonsense, cos e be like say you sef get your own wahala.

  109. He will surely hit you after marriage if he always threaten it. But I understand the difficulties of finding a spouse let alone forfeiting one over threats so I feel whatever we say here you will still marry him. Pray he gets less irritated. But if you can, tell him the only hindrance you have are his threats and you want to hold off a bit and see if he improves and see how he reacts. If he loves you, he will promise never to beat you. Or to stop the beating threats.

  110. You mean you are asking such a question in this economy that husband is scarce? Don't you realise that you are nothing without a man, especially if it's a mad man? Plan the wedding, quickly. Order your aso-ebi. Make sure you sign contract with your aso-ebi girls, to enlist them as 'prayer warriors' for when the man starts to pummel you after the wedding. They (the aso-ebi girls) cannot come and wear aso-ebi for nothing. They must earn their slot, in advance. Afterall, "marriage is for better, for worse" and when you enter (even with a violent man who has been warning you of his own character), you must stay there. You know, bearing Mrs is the ultimate in this life.

    You must have been under a rock on a remote island for the past three years. That is why you didn't hear about Titi Arowolo. Oh sorry, your 'god is a big god, who will not allow such a thing happen to you'. Especially as you're trying to prove that he forgot to give you brain when he created you.

  111. Hmm honestly I wouldn't trust a man that threaten to beat a women like that constantly and I doubt if u should cuz truth be told men change and especially when he finally believes that he now owns you like u are now his wife and u are going no where because u guys are married. Am not one to make any decision for any one or to judge any one buh u should ask urself one question“ are u ready to tolerate the beating when it starts”. Because marriage is forever or worst and beating is worst that anything. Soooooo think...........

  113. Run for the hills!!! When you two get married he will most likely start beating you. How can a man that claims he "loves" you speak to you in such a way?! And he has been threatening/scolding you for 2 years??!! Please leave this man alone.

  118. TOoh! Some mehn can be like that sha! I suppose those words or threat are jez to correct you...Since you say mehn change after marriage....Then you should be optimistic....What if you date a man who doesn't make violence threat to you during your courtship and he later turns how to be a "wife BEATER"....Well if you are still not convince with his words and promise then free him.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Yes he will change. Change to actually hitting you when you get married! Go with your guts and dump him!

  134. Dear sister, put him in care of God. He might be one of those people that have mouth and never act what they say. But you may need to observe him more critically. He might be a very nice and cool person. Like me, I get mouth die, but I can not act all what I'm saying. thing like, "If I come down from this car, you are in trouble; if I handled you,.... etc. But the fact is that I can't hurt anybody. Study him and commit him in the hands of God. Enjoy your relationship

  137. Dear there, if there are 50 guys in d world and 50 ladies in the world, maybe 25 guys would never really hit a lady, but the other 25 would, the point is every lady want to have the best guy who would love, respect and never hit them; now my question is do we abandon the other 25 and go fighting over the best 25 who would never hit a lady? (the cause for polygamy) which is a great sin before our creator. How well, girl have u tried being the best girl and see if u can keep this guy the best which he has always been since he has never hit u since the past 2 years? my point is this, u will be addressed the way u are dressed; what am saying is, carry urself with dignity and behave matured and u will have u man's respect all ur life. provided he is not a drunk, only those do things without knowing it. pls dont follow those rash advice. follow ur heart.

  141. You are going through what is called verbal abuse (violence). How do you feel when you hear such words coming out of your boyfriend's mouth? Happy? Definitely not. He's already abusing you, he'll only take it up a notch, when you are married. Run now, that you still can. It's better to be unmarried, until somebody that respects you come over. Does he or will he threaten his female boss/colleagues. He's a beast that MUST show HIMSELF as the BOSS. He's not worth your life.

  145. This is the rest of your life you're talking about here. There are better ways of handling issues you have than telling you he will beat you.. If you marry this man or not it's your choice but my dear no reasonable man should speak to a lady like that no matter how hot tempered he is. And as far as i'm concerned those threats are not empty threats at alllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  147. You know when people say she must have known she must have seen sings, these are the signs. Please font marry him. Listen to the voice of reasoning. This happened to me too. After we got married he got more daring and bold. His threats turned to small shoving and one day he beat me up. It took me three years to leave and 2 miscarriages. I thank God I had no kids with him.

    ReplyDelete
  148. He's been threatening you for almost two years, yet you stood by him, which shows you are in love with him. If you can't stand who he is , you should have called a spade a spade and let him be. sticking with him for 2 years on means you'll accept him for him. He's never hit you once so your attitude is uncalled for. you should have left him long ago if you truly know it's beyond you.

My ex always used to form that kind threat and then claim he was joking. 6 years down the line he tried to strangle me and then claimed he was joking (JOKER) well I tried to believe it; then in the 7th year after acting up big time, he said he had to be honest with me, that he thinks he can hit a woman. At least he was honest. Me a ran oh! It hurt badly, but men heart ache or body ache I chose the former. Sweetie please STEP..

    ReplyDelete
  158. Why would a man talk to his lady that way first of all? Please ladies, allow these men with tempers to go and either control their tempers or jam women that will give them fire for fire. Are you not an adult, why would a fellow adult speak to you in such a horrible way and you sit there talking about we are dating. Unfortunately, this lady will heed the advice of the person that will say don't provoke him and he will not carry out his threats. No man worth his salt should speak to another person like this, talk more of a person he says he loves.

    I would not encourage my sister to move forward with such a man. He does not respect you in anyway and he will have no problems hitting you, punching you or whatever. He does not plan to hit you he says...he just tells you he will. The choice is yours. Either go and let a man that has some sense locate you or you can settle for this brute in waiting.

  159. The question here is not about the man.please what are those things you do that warrant such threat.sincerely you really need to look inward to see if you have repulsive attitude and ask God to change you.Then you will see a dramatic change in your fiancée.Remember it takes two to tango

  162. I have a question for Naija males on here. Where do you come off thinking because you married someone, they should curb their behavior so as not to "provoke" you? What in the name of God is wrong with you and where did we as mothers go wrong?

    A grown adult woman should marry you and be walking on egg shells to avoid your wrath? And yet you all are one of the most irresponsible set of husbands with your philandering ways and inability to take care of the home front without complaining on Nairaland and LIB at every given chance. Do you know that if you respect a woman, you will get way more than what you keep trying to force down these poor girls throats?

    As for you women, see someone saying give him to God. This is her boyfriend o, she has seen signs of doom and you are asking her to pray. Pray that what again...Lord please let him not really punch me. Sometimes I believe the treatment you receive from these men serves you right. Once again, I turn back to our parents...please raise these men with a sense of self and raise these women with sense.

  164. @Hilary, do you speak to your bosses that way? Do you think it is right to speak to a fellow adult in such a demeaning way? Why do our men have a lack of decorum when it comes to their girlfriends and wives. We are married, not in a slave master relationship. Naija men should learn to be respectful to women please. What is if I punch you? Is he a child? Only children speak in such tones. As you all say...tufia!

  165. A man controls his temper NO MATTER WHAT. All of you saying, what did you say to frustrate him are not men...I am so sorry. LIB I follow your blog, I am a lover of some things Nigerian but some of your men...o my God! It is a shame what your women go through in the name of marriage. It is really sad. I know you all have some good ones out there and I say a big kudos to them. But it seems most are disrespectful babies that can't control their tempers. So sad. So sad. The rumors going around about nigerian men is very true. I hope your women demand more because I have met some strong women from Nigeria and I can't believe this is what they have to come home to.

  177. Madam, i'm a living witness to the fact that verbal abuse actually leads to the real deal. Was in a relationship and a situation led to it. I paused and what confirmed my fears was that he was violent to his siblings as well. Ended the relationship. Later confirmed he was actually known to be violent.
    I beg you by the mercies of God to run for your dear life. He will surely carry out his threat.
