A female Nigeria age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Cupids, Its been a year now and I have been trying to love my "5 years in marriage" huband again, but have failed. I lost feelings for him since I realized he's greedy, miserly person.

He stated he would only fund for my food and shelter and that's what he does. Even at that, he buys the food he likes and not what I like but I have to eat anyway.

I do everything else for myself and when I am short of money, I just have to overlook. He spends his whole day out and comes home daily around 12am.

So we gradually got detached. He is also too secretive that I would never know what he is into or where he goes. I ask and we fight.

We have a lovely 3 year old girl who I don't want to make a victim of my selfishness. What do I do?

So sorry you are in this one way marriage. He is basically a benevolent tyrant and because he has financial control and you have no income he can get away with dictating rules and controlling everything. You need to get a job, hopefully one which will still allow you to care for your daughter. I would also discuss all of this with your friends, family and or a counsellor if you can. You need all the support you can get. You don't want your daughter growing up thinking this is what a relationship should be like.
