Asking a Man to Choose Who He Wants Between You And his Mother - Very Silly Question
Good day my fellow forumites. This thread was borne out of a quarrel between a couple I tried to settle two days ago.
A colleague of mine approached me for advice on what is happening in her
marriage, and at the end of narrating her ordeal, I pointed her fault
to her as being the architect of her problems. I deduced that the bone
of contention is that each time there is disagreement, he would ask her
husband to choose between her and and his mother, and as it is expected,
the man would choose his mother, and yawa go gas!
Please, my fellow women and wives (though some men are guilty of this
too, but it's more rampant with women), let's stop this nonsense, let's
stop asking silly questions, if there is an issue between you and your
spouse, communicate with maturity, without raising
voice, without sentiments and without blackmail and most importantly,
without silly questions such as, "then, you will have to choose between
me and your mother" it's childish, silly, disrespectful and out of
security and envy.
Let me tell us, no sane man will choose his wife over his mother,
because the wife was not there when his mother conceived him, gave birth
to him, breasfed him, trained him, have so many sleepless nighs because
of him, sent him to school to become who he is now for you to see,
admire and marry.
No wife was there when the mother was washing the man's dirty clothes,
even using bare hands to wash faeces with which he soiled himself, when
the mother spent days in hospital when sick to make sure the man is in
good health and shape. No wife was there when the mother wakes in the
middle of the night to talk and advise her son on ways of life, on how
to be a good child to his parents, a good person in the society, a good
employee to his employer, a good employer to his employees, a good
father to his children and a good husband to his wife. Now, it's the
mother that the wife is now waging war against. Nooooo wayyyyyy.
Honestly, I don't know reason why there is usually rancour between DILs
and MILs, if for anything, these old women deserve our respect,
appreciation and to be made happy, at least for making these our
husbands marriageable, abi, if they were not born, can we get married to
them?
So, my fellow women, if you don't want to sadden yourself, stop asking
your men to choose between you and his mother, because he would
definitely choose his mother. And for those who usually say, "then let
him take his mother to bed", abeg, everything is not only about bed in
marriage.
For those who will say, "then let his mother prepare him food, remember,
he has been eating his mother's food before meeting and marrying you.
For those who will say, "then, let his mother bare him children",
remember, the children are not only his, they're yours as well.
Let all DILs remember that they are also potential MILs and that
whatever they sow as a DIL, they will reap them when they also become
MIL.
Let us cultivate the habit of loving our MILs, appreciate them and stop
unnecessary rivalry with them. Many of them are becoming old already,
so, we need to remember that old age usually make someone to be
eccentric. So, let' treat them as if they are our mother, which i
believe they are. Atleast, someone who is old enough to be our spouse'
mother is also fit to be our mother.
As for me, I have the most wonderful MIL in the whole world. I cherish
her, adore her, love her greatly and i get the best of her, even my
husband and his siblings do jealous of me.
Anytime there's a cause for all of us, me, hubby and mama, to be in a
car, I open the front door for mama myself to sit, this singular act, I
have been criticized of so many times, but, is it not for just one or
few days, and I see that she usually love it each time I do that. She
rains blessings on me as if there is no other day. I pamper her (but
truth be said, she pampers me more).
See, my fellow women, this is a secret, if you want the best from your man, love his mother and you will never regret doing so.
God bless us all.
For those who will condemn this, I think I'm no longer a novice in
marriage. This is my 10th year of marriage, and it's just like
yesterday, we're just starting anyway, and everyday of our marriage has
always been better than the previous day.
This also goes to the men who usually asks their wives to choose between them and their mothers.
P. S
DIL....daughter-in-law.
MIL....mother-in-law.
God bless us all.
