I’ve made some previous posts about how my wife threatens me with leaving our marriage everytime we have small issues (I didn’t post it with this account).
She always threaten to leave anytime we have misunderstandings, not even only misunderstandings, even when we are having normal conversations and someone refers to maybe a bad marriage experience, she always says if it’s her she will leave.
I’ve spoken to her about it several times, I have even spoken to her family about the issue but it keeps repeating itself.
She has this kind of mentality that she can leave the marriage at any time I do something to her and she repeats it every time, the last one was during an outing when we had a misunderstanding, even before hearing my own side of the story, she said she already tired of the marriage and wants to leave, so I told her to go if she wants.
The next morning, she came to wake me up and told me she doesn’t want to do again that she wants to leave, she said she’ll call her people and I should call my people. I said fine.
I told my family about it, and they supported me because a woman can’t threaten me with marriage after one child.
Another thing my wife does is that she constantly compares me to other men, telling people I don’t provide for my family, I don’t take care of her, to the extent her friends are telling her that if a man doesn’t provide for his woman, then he’s pushing her out to meet other men.
In regards to the issue of providing, when we met, things were going very well, it was just the two of us and I had money at the time, I took her on vacation, booked flights for her, bought her hairs, a new phone and all. But now we have a child, added responsibilities, and money isn’t as it used to be before but one thing I never do is to starve my family.
Last year I made close to 20m but I didn’t see the money, not because I’m an extravagant spender but because of family expenses, I can’t even explained what happened to the money aside the fact that I bought a car.
I opened a business for her with almost 3 million, the business crumbled, she doesn’t want to do anything, she stays home all day just pressing phone. If I don’t have any money at all she can’t support me, she calls me for everything, even to as little as salt in the house.
She started comparing our marriage to when she was single, that she used to wear the lastest clothes and buy the lastest hair, and now she’s married she doesn’t get those things forgetting those where the thing I used to do for her when there was enough money.
This whole thing has made me tired of the marriage and I don’t feel like continuing it any more, I’ve told her to call her people since she doesn’t want to continue the marriage so they can return the bride price. I just want to focus on my life
