Ten years ago, I brought my girlfriend to America. Beforehand, I was doing a good job by paying for her fees, what she ate, what she wore. I took over and was paying for it. She became my wife, gave me children who bring absolute joy into my life. But something happened along the way.

I made some wrong moves which led to me losing almost all my financial standing as a human. Things turned blur. I was struggling to put food on the table, send money home, even treat myself the way I normally did when life was good. Wifey knew about it, and she started treating me like it. Like a common floor member. If by chance I asked her what was for dinner, she looked at me from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet, hissed at me, and walked out on me.

It started small, then grew into her looking at me and talking down on me as if I lost my position as the man of the house and turned maid. Oh, she spoke to me anyhow, anywhere she deemed fit, she gave it to me. Many times I thought I was dreaming, but boy, I woke up every day to the same treatment. I cannot count how many times I said ‘hmm’ in that house. She stomped on my confidence during that period. On top of it, I was denied sex too. Herh.

But I turned my eyes to the heels from whence comes my help. Slowly things started picking up. I am where I used to be, even better. It is a different type of peace for me now. I have taken my position as the provider again.

Last month, she too fell into a dip. Says she needs money to sort her life problems out and she needs me to come through for her. I have told her to give me some time to think about it. Every time I think about it, flashes of those days come into mind and blur my conscience. I am a kind man, that is my problem. Even as kind as I am, I do not want to give my wife. If I do not give her, does that make me a bad person? Moreover, I know if I do not give a helping hand, her downfall will be an ugly sight to witness.

Help me.
