Dearest Omo Oodua Readers: My husband & I can't stand each other anymore.



I married this man in an elaborate wedding that cost both our parents a fortune less than a year ago. I can't stand him anymore. And he's told me on numerous occasions that he can't stand me either. At the time I married him everyone told me he was the ideal guy and comes from a good, wealthy family. We dated for less than a year before getting married but the marriage was over before it even started. He's spoilt, egocentric and with him there's no middle ground. 
It's his way or the high way. These things I only noticed after I married him. I sincerely can't see myself spending the rest of my life with this man. The last time he touched me was just five months into our marriage. I'm sure he's getting it somewhere else but who cares? We are still keeping up appearances and still live in the same house but I want out.
Thing is, my parents will be so disappointed in me because they have invested so much in us. I don't want to disappoint them because I am the first daughter but I'm tired of this sham of a marriage. Apart from my parents I don't want my friends to laugh at me because they are all happily married. What should I do?

  1. The truth is you shouldn't let what others think affect you own decision. You should follow your heart, if you want out, then leave, and for your parents, they sure will be disappointed in you, but they are your parents, they sure will forgive you.

  4. Well one fact remain constant,wife must stay as wife and husband is husband,you got what you went to look for there maybe another man humble but with no name or riches whom you may have ignored,just one year into marriage what have you done,go back and respect your husband as a wife should and stop using what people will think as a cover.

  5. Dear woman,my candid advice to you is to seek the face of God FIRST before jumping into hasty conclusions.In as much as you can't totally change a man's character,there's absolutely nothing that prayer cannot do.Afterwards,you and your husband should come together and iron things out.There's probably something you both are doing that you're not supposed to do or there's something you're not doing that you're supposed to do and its eating deep into the fabric of your marriage.Sit him down and talk to him like his wife.Make him realise that this attitude of his will lead you both to nowhere.You should equally observe yourself too;should there be any lapses.I strongly believe that if you both want this marriage to work,you will.You're the woman of the house and you also have the responsibility of making things work out in your marriage.Like the Holy Bible puts it "A wise woman buildeth her home but,a foolish woman plucketh it down with her own hands".Be wise and do what is right.Find out areas where you've gone wrong and make adjustments where necessary.God will surely help you both to mend and rebuild the broken fences of your marriage.
