Joking too much

Dear Pastor,
Good day to you. I have been married to a Jamaican man for the last 12 years. <span style="font-weight: bold">The problem is that he is stubborn and doesn't want to take matters seriously</span>. He is always at a bar and I don't like his ways. When I speak to him about my likes and dislikes, he just laughs. I am at the end of my rope and I feel that I am wasting my time with him. I have fallen out of love with him. How do I get through to him? <span style="font-weight: bold">I want to make him realise that things here in Canada are not like things in Jamaica. </span>
Thank you for your time and effort you give to us all. Take care.

M., Ontario, Canada


Dear M.,

Please continue to try to help your husband. He has taken you for granted, but he loves you. He is just behaving like a fool. Some men don't take life seriously. But you are still very fortunate that you are not having any 'woman' problems with him.

Perhaps, what you can do is to have your pastor talk to him. If you can find an older Jamaican man whom he respects, who has lived in Canada for a long time, who can help to give him some guidance, he may listen to him. <span style="font-weight: bold">Men should talk to men. When their women talk to them, sometimes they feel that they are trying to control them. </span>So hang in there with him and hope for the best.

Pastor

Re: Joking too much

reading between the lines, sounds like there's a cultural barrier. something about the &quot;i've fallen out of love&quot; and &quot;things are different here in canada&quot; makes me think this started as one of those LDRs. then again, it lasted 12 years.

12 years of to-ing and fro-ing at every opportunity no doubt. Still, the woman said she's fallen out of love, so it's time to cut her losses and move on. She herself didn't realize what she was getting herself into, so her expectations don't match reality.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Woman divorces husband for cleaning too much</span>

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman has divorced her husband because she was fed up with him cleaning all the time.

German media reported the wife got through 15 years of marriage putting up with the man's penchant for doing household chores, tidying up and rearranging the furniture.

But she ran out of patience when he knocked down and rebuilt a wall at their home when it got dirty, Christian Kropp, court judge in the central town of Sondershausen, said on Thursday.

&quot;I'd never had anyone seek a divorce for this,&quot; he said.
