What sort of a husband are you? If you’re no longer interested in the marriage, you should at least show a minimum of concern. The truth is that whether you like it or not, she’s still your wife. She’s still in your home? She’s still the mother of your kids. She still bears your surname.
I just don’t get it! Why would you create a difficult situation in the home for your wife? A situation which would force her to look for means to survive at all cost?
I was just telling my friend, Faith over the weekend, that I had never understood why some women took to prostitution until I started having kids.
I’ve now realized, that I can do anything and everything to make sure my kids live! And I would be ready to face God and the consequences.
This is Faith Edile’s contribution to the discussion: “I will say nowadays, most men are just men in name only, they don’t care where their wives get additional money as far as they are not been bothered repeatedly for money. You have some men that are so lazy, they can build mansion with their mouths.
“I know a guy who stays at home while the wife goes out to work, when she comes back home in the evening, the husband will give her all the gist of what happened in the area while she was at work. Another reason why some will not care if another man is eating from their pot is the fact that they have little or no feelings at all for the wife at home.
“To them, they have done her a favor by making her Mrs. Somebody, so it is the wife’s duty to source for money wherever and whatever way she can get it to prepare a sumptuous meal for them. You even hear of some men boasting about it to their friends, they say, “if she like make she cook if she like make she no cook, no bi she wan marry?”
This is from Tosin Omoniyi: she said: “Honestly, my friend, you are absolutely right! As much as I’m not out-rightly condemning them, truth is that majority of our men are becoming useless by the day. By allowing their wives to add to the feeding allowance and playing the role they should play aside sex, they have sold their birthright. If not for the natural sexual urge in us (women), I don’t think we need them!
“In fact, there was a story of a woman who often complains that her husband gives her N500 for soup weekly for four of them in the house! Imagine that? She concluded that quietly accepting that N500 was to allow peace reign and was like it’s for buying sex from her husband, because she can’t afford to be sleeping around! What a sorry situation! She plays the mother to the children, staff in the office, wife to the husband who has become a she-man, she also plays the loving and sweet admirable girlfriend to her boyfriend(if she had) just to augment her means of living. Methinks, and see that the economy power has shifted to the womenfolk, a development the men are fast taking advantage.”
