Foundation matters a lot in everything. did they ask the hand of God in that marriage. they see eachother and like eachother is not a good foundation. you saw yourselves physically but did not see spiritually. for me,there was no good preparation with God and anything without God is with satan. Get her back and embrace God thru prayer,God will stil make some amendment.

I had a lengthy discussion with the husband in company of a guy whom i assumed is his brother

He said the parent were shocked about the behaviour of their daughter most especially the father who promised to look into the matter and find a resolution as the marriage was too early to go down the drain. They claimed not to know the whereabouts of their daughter and she hasn’t keep in touch

He was not convinced that the mother didn’t know about what the daughter did as during their conversation she said “If that is the will of God, i pray almighty God provide a good wife and husband for individual of you in the future.

He was able to get through to his wife on phone, they talked at length for over 10 minutes, all in all, the wife said she is not interested in the wedding again, she was sorry for everything and she believe the best thing for individual of them to go their separate way.

The parent has known where their daughter is but they were not ready to tell him her location. They have started behaving cold to him too. The father doesn’t pick his call and whenever the mother picks, she will start asking question like what does he want and that he should find his wife and see if he can settle with her moreover she was not there when she asked her out

He received a divorce letter from a lawyer on the instruction of the wife (He showed me the letter), the wife has sued for divorce and she is claiming damages and compensation. The husband is worried on the kind of compensation as they didn’t even go to the registry.
He already called the lawyer and estate of our building that he is moving out of the flat, they should find another tenant for the house and refunds to him the balance of his outstanding rent once they find someone to occupy the house.

His parent advised him to move home temporarily as he can’t be staying in the flat all alone without anybody. More so, before they got his father advised him to take a flat in one of his buildings in the town but his wife rejected out rightly and that is why he had to bring out money to rent another house.

His own mum warned him about the domineering attitude of his ex wife before the wedding and she is mocking him already. That is why they were never in so good term all along and his mum rarely visits them or calls his wife to check on their well being during the two months they stayed together.

He still has some debt that he is servicing which was as a result of expenses incurred during the wedding. This affected the finances in the house as whenever the wife comes in with any expensive things, he always tell her to exercise a bit of patience till they finish their outstanding debts. That always leads to arguments most times in the house.

He has accepted that he is no more interested in the marriage again either as his parent are saying for a lady to pack out all her things in her husband house just within two months without even trying to find resolution to whatever is bothering you in your marital life, then the lady can kill. He never reported the husband to anyone for once and moving out means she has it in plan for a very long time.

OP

Am really glad you brought this up here to NL. I have been in a relationship for about a year now and wanted to begin formalities but I see many of the issues raised in this thread in my relationship

I will hold off everything until I get clarity. I believe the wife is still very young?, less than 24, because this unpredictability is predominant with young brides and very spoilt matured girls

Thanks once again

A realy sad story, but will be a bleaaing to the young man at end. I pray that God will guide him well.

My opinion is:

The parents of the girl has a very big role to play,

The mediator couple(Snakie86) should stop calling the girls phone line. Their role is only to advising the young man on what to do and calming him down so that he will know that divorce is not death, that no mater what happens, that he can still come back stronger and happier.

Man, can go for what he wants and get it. unlike the girl.

I think the girl has an unfinished business outside or she is possessed.

For the husband to say that he didnt know what wrong he has done to the wife proves that his wife can keep secreat and lack sincerity to the husband. No body is perfect, but sincerety and family prayer help so much in every marriage.

The young man should involve his brother(not sisters for niw pls) and the parents of the wife.

A solution will come out.

Wish you the best.

This is critical.

Why did she not take only het belongings? Why take something as irrelevant as spoons?


Does this not point ti something bad?

If she was bold enough to tell you about her husband, why not also her packing out.

Why give her friend her phone to answer at least you are a neutral party?

Her eyes go clear later.

The sense of judgement of some people on this forum amuse me a lot.
How can you be blaming the @OP who came to this forum to seek a solution to a problem he should be ordinarily less concerned about.
Some said he is too involved, some said he shouldn't have entertained the man's wife in their home and all that.
Has it become a crime to be a good neighbour who listen to the concern of another?
What if she was not allowed to express her mind and she ended up killing the man instead of packing out?
In my candid opinion, I think the wife cooperated with external forces and enemies to ruin her own home
She was too expectant of the man. There is nothing you can do to satisfy a demanding wife.
How can you expect your husband to always be with you in the kitchen when he still have to think on how to provide for the home
The woman has the key of david to control her own husband but she willingly gave the key to the enemy.
Proverbs 14: 1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.[i][/i]
@OP Continue to do your best in restoring the marriage. It will be said of you that you have done your bit.
Tell them to build their marriage on Jesus the rock foundation.
They should not compare themselves with others, everyone has different destinies.
Shalom!

Re: Two Wasted Months Of Marriage by marv1: 5:26pm On Jul 24, 2016
That woman has some unfinished job outside. The same sinario happened to my friend. They were married for 8months. I attended the wedding live. The wife packed all her things and the marriage certificate and left b4 my friend got back from work one day. That was the last day together. Meanwhile my friend said he called her that day at work and she responded everything was fine. Eventhough she was not working my friend said they had discussed how he would start a biz for her since she is a trained fashion designer, my friend too is into textile biz. She even washed his clothes and spread them outside the house that day b4 she left. Only for us to hear that she packed to another man's house who appears to her to have small coins and connection. Family meeting was called and the only thing she said was that my friend doesnt know how to kiss, he doesnt know how to make love to her. Everybody just bursted out laughing but she insisted she was not going back. She got pregnant for this man and delivered the baby. Her eyes have cleared now because the guy showed her his true colour and sent her packing after the baby came between them. My friend later saw her in an hosipital where she came for her daughter's treatment, she was hidding her face in one corner. After two years of waiting by my friend and calling her by concerned people, including a lawyer friend was fruitless, she always tells them to go to hell. My friend re-married another woman quietly. They have two kids now and they have moved to there own house. The first wife went back to her father's family compound which is always the tradition of most ladies in their family. The father died sometime last year and i dont know what has become of her because the properties have been shared. Since this incident happened i fear women.

I will keep updating as event unfold and trying to see if we can find a solution to this problem. Two months is just too soon to give up on your marriage and i believed moving out of the house was not a day or week plan by the wife

That her saucy friend might be a dominant lesbian who wants to control the wife of your neighbor.

The woman is being controlled.

From your story you did everything just right. Your wife's advice not to intervene since the husband never complained was also right

Keep trying, one day you will be able to talk sense into the woman to come back home.
Re: Two Wasted Months Of Marriage by wealthyk: 5:27pm On Jul 24, 2016
As hard as this may seem, the solution is not going to be from you but from the Lord and it all starts with the husband. Let me tell you the hardest truth, you may not like it and am sure most in the house may not either but I'll say it any way.
1. Tell God about it and let Him worry about how He's going to resolve it. God taught me a great lesson and it is that, let go and let God. Though it seems simple and unbelievable but that's how He takes over our battles.
2. Let the husband pray for God's love to increase in his heart. This is from experience because I had not a too similar situation but God did wonders to me when I prayed that prayer. My own woman had an affair and never was remorseful about it and you can imagine what must have happened to me as a man. Thought of several ways to deal with her and revenge and all stuffs but when I got more knowledge of God's ways, I prayed that prayer and still praying and am the better for it. Even though we are still together and I still remember the stuffs but at least we are still together.
So pray for God to help you love Him first of all and to love his wife and before too long, she will super naturally come back.

The wife still has unfinished business outside. The matrimony is like caging her and not allowing her explore the goodies she's missing out there. Try have a man to man talk with the husband and let him tell you in details his own side of the story to enable you compare.


How do u know how d woman feels? No one knows what goes on in a marriage. I know a woman dt left her husband cos he could not get it up & after much nagging confessed to her he was aroused by men. Even his parents didn't know.

First of all, you guys can say whatever you want about the lady because you were not in the house with her. You won't understand her pain. But I do. We ladies are emotional beings not logical beings like the men. No woman in her right sense will marry a man n want to leave her marriage just 2 months into it. She must have been hurt seriously for her to have taken such a decision to leave the home. But it's frustrating to live with a man who doesn't understand you and who isn't trying to make the marriage better. Marriage is work my Dear.

thats what happen when two individual did not do the courting the way its supposed to be. Another thing is that they might have been rushed into the marriage. Its well with the man, if his wife ever come back, he should try spice up the marriage. Don't dull
I believe if a woman leaves her matrimonial home once and come back again... She will have the intention of leaving a thousand times and still come back! Marriage shouldn't be something one rushes into especially when not much is being known about your partner. I blame the man because most women can hardly keep secrets hence they prefer to talk out their hearts through discussion. The man would have find a way to pretend to be engaging in her gists even if passively. My advice... Both parents should be come together with one purpose of making the marriage work!

The wife maybe was not prepared for marriage.

She was a house wife right? She expects the man to come home and start washing plates after a hectic day at the office?

They were only 2 at home then right? So what does she do with her time when the husband is at work?

Why did she not do what you adviced her to do?

I have feeling that she was not truthful to you. If she told you about her husband, why did she not tell you about her intention to pack out?

The things she complained about are not serious issues.

Is that her friend legally and contently married?

I think that she must have made up her mind to leave for no reason.

There is a way that seems right to a man but its end na die.

Why is she not picking you calls?

She has bad friends and many skeletons in her wardrobe or cupboard.

Re: Two Wasted Months Of Marriage by femboye2015: 5:43pm On Jul 24, 2016
Most importantly, I think he should thank his God that she didn’t decide to poison him or something and move on. Secondly, he should thank God that there are no kids involved cos that will not have prevented her or her family from doing what they did, it would only have meant he would have to deal with the trauma of having a child growing up without the father. He should move on with his life as there’s nothing new under the sun. Take his time, face his job/business for now and with time, he’ll meet someone that is compatible with him.
For those talking about compatibility, I don’t think that was the issue, the guy did not become introverted overnight, he most probably was always like that. The issue is that the wife probably never loved him and went into the marriage for ulterior motives which are best known to her and her family. There are other questions the guy should answer, what was her upbringing like? What kind of marriage do her parents/siblings have? (If she has older ones). How come both of them did not have some sort of relationship with the other parties’ siblings etc. etc.
But as I said earlier, the most important thing is that there are no kids involved. He should pick himself up, take his time and not rush into another marriage. Focus on his job and be close to his GOD. He will see him through it. Tell him not to think there’s any shame in what occurred and it’s better it happened earlier than later when he would have invested so much in the marriage and kids might be involved.
May God help us all. Amen.

I have been hearing about this kind of issue but not seen one until it happened close to me. I know this might be a little bit long but i just want to put it out and learn from people to find a resolution.

Had we intervened in our own little way, would things have come out this way? This is the question have been asking myself since Monday when i heard of this issue.
I am still stunned and couldn’t believe what is happening, neither is my wife. How could two months old marriage crashed just like that without any remedy.

Have been hearing that marriages crashes but this one is somehow exceptional and called for various questions which are still unanswerable as at this moment.

I relocated to a new apartment which was a twin flat in a compound, my neighbour moved into the compound two months after us even though our money started reading at the same time. This was because they just had their wedding a week before they moved in.
Both of us in the building are young couples, i have been married for three years, we see ourselves as brothers as love birds, four of us in the compound were of the same age mate and our thought from beginning was that we will be able to relate very well with each other as young educated chaps.

Barely two weeks the newly married couple moved in, i called the attention of my wife to the fact that i don’t see our neighbours behaving like a newly wedded couple, at least love should still be in the air and we should be seeing them running over each other but reverse is the case. In fact most times when there was no light, i will be hearing their voice as if they were arguing. Moreover, the wife always wear a not too happy face most times

I and my wife agreed that, misunderstanding is bound to happen; they are new to marital life as such they are just trying to get to know each other very well. It is often said that first year of marriage is the toughest one as i could remember what we also went through during our first year but we endure due to our perseverance and parents counselling that we should always exercise patience with each other and today me and my wife understand each other very well now. We assumed, it was their own time too and they will overcome it.

Gradually we became a bit close with each other, i realized that the husband was an introvert who is always himself and you hardly see him outside while the wife was the opposite. When the husband is not around, the wife will come to our place, we will gist, talk, watch movies, musicals, euro 2016 together. In fact, i was surprise the wife knows about football and i used her as a reference point to my wife whenever we are watching football as she doesn’t have interest in any sport at all. The husband will call her whenever he comes back and the wife will go and meet her, sometimes she will come back while sometimes she might not come back again.
. Is the wife a benin girl? Am sorry if there re benin girls in the forum. You ask the guy how long they ve been courting? That doesn't assured of a happy home. Y don't you start by asking the guy about the girl's family. What kind of family she is from?the first impression he got the very first time he visits them? How is the girl relationship with everyone in her family? If no member of your family support your unruly behavior you won't dare it. There re little details guys re supposed to take serious in a girl but they never did. Most guys especially Nairalander has the impression that all a lady want is money which is very wrong. We need money, Time,love,attention,care etc but you people conclude only is what we need. He should be happy she didn't cheat on him atleast it shows she respect him. .

Oga morning o. In my opinion I believe you are too involved in their marriage. Firstly it is only an irresponsible wife that visits neighbours everyday without reason. You and ur wife shouldn't have let it get that frequent. Its not a behaviour to encouraged and breeds over familiarity and disrespect. Another thing is when she started complaining about her marriage to u people, you should have known the kind of woman she was. That woman can set u up, she can cause issues between u and ur wife . She is not a wise person to associate with. However its not late to disassociate urself. Distance urself from their issues. Stop calling the woman. E no concern u. Let the man and his family sort it out. It would surprise u that when they are talking about their wahala or name would be mentioned. Over familiarity between neighbours dey always bring insult.


Please marry me!!!!!!.

I'm suspecting the husband is unable to meet up with his sexual responsibilities for her to have her parent's support
