I Want My Husband Out Of My House So I Can Rent It Out, Because Of What He Did To Me- Woman Narrates

We moved into one of my parents' homes after we got married. We both had jobs and could have rented an apartment for ourselves, but my father believed it would be a waste of money. You two are going to begin your lives, He remarked. We are in Accra. If you don't exercise caution, you'll spend all of your income on lodging. Save your money and move into the Achimota house together if he is okay with it.

He leased a three-bedroom home to an organization. He didn't renew their lease when it was due because of us. We both moved into the building after a three-month wait. My spouse was there to thank my dad for his thoughtful act because he loved the place so much. One load was removed from our shoulders, allowing us to choose where to put our money. Even though others frequently warned my husband that I would insult him since he lives in my father's home, I didn't. We divided costs equally since we both had jobs that we were working at. I mean directly down the middle when I say "down the middle." 50:50.

I'll pay the energy payment when he pays the water bill. I'll buy the groceries he purchases this week next week. We formed a joint account and both contributed a portion of our salaries to it. The plan was to launch our own building project and raise money. Our marriage was all we had hoped for, and life was good. My husband proposed that we invest the money that was sitting in our joint account because it was quite large. He mentioned Mensgold while I was talking about Treasury Bills. At the time, Mensgold was so well-known that skipping that investment was seen as foolish. He was informed of my fear.

“That thing is dangerous ooo. It’s always in the news for bad reasons. Why don’t we invest in something safe? After all, we are not going anywhere with the money.”

He told me about all of his acquaintances who had made investments there and were earning monthly returns. "We won't succeed if we pay attention to doubters," He decided to put the money there because he viewed himself as the leader, the man, and the one with the last say. Up to the scheme's collapse three months later, the returns on our investment were reinvested. In the end, it turned out that I was correct, but he assigned blame for the scheme's failure to everyone. Although we hoped to receive our money, it never did. The joint account project came to an end at that point. Because I didn't trust his financial management, I refrained from doing it again.

I got pregnant and life came to a standstill for me. My pregnancy was like the turbulence at sea, it was rough and scary. I spent more time at the hospital than in my own bed. I thought I was going to die but I didn’t. I delivered safely but later got some complications that didn’t allow me to live a normal life. Even after my maternity leave, I couldn’t go back to work because of complications. In the end, I had to resign so I could concentrate on total healing. I wasn’t working but my husband continued expecting me to cough up my 50% contributions to run the house. Throughout my health challenges, my husband didn’t give me any money as support for my healing. All he provided was emotional support and nothing else. I didn’t complain. I had the support of my parents. I even went to live with them at some point when it got severe. I was there until I healed completely.

I’ve been off work for over nine months but my husband expects me to contribute. When he asks and I tell him I’m not working, he’ll ask me, “You mean you didn’t save while you were working? Who even asked you to resign? You better look for something to do oo, I can’t carry this burden all alone.” While I was struggling with my health, he got enough money to buy a car. He told me it was a loan from work but I know the whole thing wasn’t alone. We are married but all he thinks about is himself and how to live well. It didn’t bother me that much until he started pressuring me to take care of things I didn’t have money to pay for. Our light went off and he was expecting me to recharge. Because I couldn’t, we slept in darkness for two days. He said, “After all who’s going to suffer? I leave in the morning and come in the evening. You stay here all day.”
He didn’t care about our child and the heat he will suffer. He left us on our own. I embarrassingly called my mom for help and she came to my aid. I’m rigorously looking for a job but my husband’s attitude is getting on my nerves; the neglect, disrespect and shame are getting to me. My parents suspect something is wrong, judging from the way I go to them for help often. I’m the one covering up.

This is what I intend to do. I’m not working and he still wants me to provide. I have to raise money to be able to provide. I want to tell him I’m renting out the house we are living in. This is a house I can easily raise €2,000 a month from. I want to ask him to rent his own place so I can put this place up for rent since he expects so much from me. I know he’ll call me names but I don’t care. If we move out and I rent this out, I can decide not to work or even use the money to start a business. My parents will support the initiative if I’m able to convince them.

It looks like he doesn’t see my contribution to this marriage until I provide money. I want to show him I’m already providing enough and deserve every respect from someone I call a husband. Do you think it’s a good idea? I’ve had a series of conversations with him concerning the way he treats me but he doesn’t listen to me. He thinks my staying home is intentional. He even told me I faked my sickness just so I can have a reason to resign. It hurts and the only way out is to rent out this place and get my own money. What do you think?
