What you about read is a true life story of my boss, and I never wanted to talk about it but something triggered me to pure it out so that others will learn.
My boss got married to his wife 4 years ago and somehow his siblings didn't like his wife. He's the 3rd son and the first to get married in his family. His wife is very calm and collected which is why he fell head over heels for her.
After their marriage, his wife got pregnant and just 3 months into pregnancy, he got his Visa to travel to Germany. Two of his sisters suggested to live in his house with his wife but my boss wife refused saying she prefers to stay with her own siblings.
My boss didn't object to it because he don't want any issue to arise between her and his siblings because he knew how annoying his sisters can be. However his mom convinced him to let his sisters to stay with his wife instead so they can be sure she's being faithful to him and all that.
My boss told his wife and she wasn't happy about that but he made her understand that his decision is final. He traveled and in less than 3 months, my boss siblings started bombarding my boss with reports about hid wife. It became so much as he kept confronting his wife about their complaints and his wife wasn't having it.
She told my boss that he was being insecure and his sisters are trying to destroy their marriage but he allowed his emotions and ego get ahead of me. My boss stopped sending his wife money, he send to money through his mom and ask his wife to collect from his mom when she needs money.
He never knew what happened but he allowed his mom and siblings manipulate him to the extent that his wife had a stillbirth and they accused her of killing her own child and my boss believed them. He stopped talking to his wife for months, blamed her for loosing their child and never consoled her.
His wife kept pleading with him through chats, calls etc. my boss was really hurt that he lost his baby but he gave in after 4 months. My boss and his wife started talking again and he came back to Nigeria a year later when he's papers expired.
He met his wife in the same cool headed, calm, peaceful and respectful manner as I've known her. He tried applying for another visa and kept getting rejected, the little money he made vanished in a twinkle of an eye.
His wife was working and she was assisting financially without complains. At some point, my boss started feeling inferior to his wife. His mom and siblings stopped calling to check on him because the money was no longer there.
His whole life was crumbling before him and his wife suggested that he look for a job but he didn't buy the idea. He saw it as complete mockery and before he knew it, a year passed and he was as good as nothing.
He finally decided to look for a job but still wasn't lucky to get any after so many trials. He kept wondering what was wrong with him and one night he had a dream where his late dad visited his and he was complaining his ordeal to his dad.
In that dream his dad told him that his wife is a special being and has spirits guarding her jealousy. He recalled to him that things got better for him after he met her and got worse when he started treating her badly.
His dad told him to get gifts and apologize to his wife because she's grieving inside of her and as long as she isn't happy with him, things would continue to go South. Hmmmm, he woke up from that dream and it was as if scales fell off his eyes.
He laid on his bed for hours evaluating what actually went wrong between him and his wife. He found out it was just his INSECURITIES because he have friends who always told him that women whose husbands are abroad are majorly known for being loose.
His mom and siblings worsened the whole suspicions with their reports just because they do not like her for no reason and my boss wife is someone that doesn't talk much. She's always silent and doesn't even bother to defend herself. She is too calm and peaceful to a fault.
My boss got so much ashamed of himself, he clearly wasn't
matured enough for marriage. He felt so terrible for not being there for his wife when she lost their baby. He didn't even have money to buy his wife apology gifts, he just went to her and apologized sincerely.
She accepted his apology and he was intentional about awakening their bond again. She got pregnant again and my boss got a job even though the pay wasn't much. His wife suggested he apply for visa again and she helped him borrowed a loan from her bank.
My boss applied and got lucky this time, he warned his sisters to stay away from his wife this time and they should never call him to report anything about his wife because it's clear the devil wants to use them to scatter his happy home.
My boss traveled to Portugal safely and things are moving well than the previous time. He payed my salary in double for being loyal. His wife is almost due for delivery and he's earnestly praying that it ends well this time. He have absolute peace now and don't want to trade it for anything.
CONCLUSION
Dear married men and married women, please focus on your marriage and don't allow your siblings to play any roles in your marriage. And if you are yet to marry please learn from others people mistakes 🙏
Thanks so much for your precious time.
Thanks for the invite. Good luck to you.
