A man seeking anonymity has shared his distressing situation online, detailing how the presence of his wife’s cousin in their home has led to tension in his five-year marriage. The cousin moved in to attend school nearby, but her behavior has made the man increasingly uncomfortable, leading him to seek a resolution that his wife resists.
“My wife and I have been peacefully married for five years until her cousin moved into our house because she’s schooling around. I work from home for a foreign company, so I’m always home. My wife works with SSNIT,” the man wrote.
He described how the cousin’s unwarranted attention and inappropriate attire when his wife is not home have made him uneasy. “She comes even when I’ve not called for her, wearing skimpy dresses and all that,” he explained.
To address the situation, he approached his wife with a suggestion to find alternative accommodation for her cousin. “I found a nice way to tell my wife to let her cousin go and rent her own place so she can stay there and school. I even offered to help with the rent,” he stated. However, his wife reacted angrily, fearing that asking her cousin to leave would cause family issues and reflect poorly on her.
The man expressed frustration at his wife’s lack of understanding and the resulting strain on their marriage. “I’m the one who knows what I go through with the cousin around, but my wife doesn’t seem to understand me. This is causing issues for my home,” he lamented.
