“I dated my now-wife since 2016 before getting married in 2020. She is 28, and I am 30 years old.
Our dating years were special. We met every three months till 2020, and she always gave me attention, even if her family called. I never anticipated the changes after marriage, and things have become strained between us.
She lost her job during the Covid-19 period before we got married. I have my own company with four employees, and I offered her a role, but she lacks interest in technology and refuses to work with me. I suggested investing in a business for her, but she prefers an office job.
Though I earn at least GH¢7,000 monthly, I proposed paying her GH¢2,000, but she declined, not wanting to work under me. I accepted her decision, but I’ve observed worrying changes in her behavior.
She pays more attention to her family than to our son. Every week, she visits or sends money to her family. I suspect she’s saving for family issues, as she manages the household finances. I started noticing this when I voiced concerns about her closeness to her family.
She sometimes gives her family things that belong to me without informing me, leading to arguments when I find out. I often have to take our son to school, despite her request for another child. I am reluctant due to her behavior and am taking precautions to avoid pregnancy.
She only offers me good sex, and she spends money recklessly without considering our financial stability. Her desire to impress her family worries me, as she spends on unnecessary items to maintain a certain image.
She frequently insists on using my car, causing me to cancel plans to gift her a new car on her birthday.
I’m unsure of what to do now. Any advice?”
