True Life Story: Is My Husband Sincere About Our Marriage?

True Life Story: Is My Husband Sincere About Our Marriage?

Hello ma,

I need some advice. My marriage is barely two years, and within these two years, my husband has been unfaithful, and has hit me sometimes. I always fight back though, so it doesn’t get out of hand. I don’t want to go into all the details of how I met him and ended up his wife. I sometimes regret that decision.

A while after being married, I got pregnant, but unfortunately my husband couldn’t raise the money for the baby stuffs. I struggled so hard to do that myself, this was about the time I caught him cheating, I didn’t waste any time to pack my things and go to my parents.

Now my problem is that he is not a provider. He stays months on end without sending anything and I am struggling so hard because I have a child to look after. He has been trying really hard to win me over after everything, and I mean it when I say he is trying hard. I married him because I thought he had purpose, but I don’t know about that now because the money struggle is something else.

Believe me when I say the struggle is too much for me because I don’t work yet and nothing comes from his end, but he keeps apologizing, saying things will get better. I want to believe him but is it not his reckless lifestyle that has kept him where he is. I need advice because I don’t know if I should take him back and work with him for a better future.

He has made all plans to relocate to where I am so we can start afresh, but my fear is, a man who could be cheating with the little resources we have when we had baby things to buy, can he be trusted again. I feel resentment and bitterness because I practically used all my savings for the birth and up until now, every little money I get goes towards my child’s upkeep.

Isn’t he coming back now because he is flat broke. A man who can cheat when we could barely feed, can I really take his word for it? Do you think I should give him a chance. I am not a saint because I can be very stubborn when I know I am right, but I married him a virgin.

Take into consideration that he blames me for some of his actions. Doesn’t that show lack of accountability. I was very naive when I married him, otherwise I wouldn’t have. There is no pleasure whatsoever in a marriage without money, more so one with the accompanying issues mine has.

Please advise me.
