Just In: My Husband Fights Me Over Our House Help

Dear Ladun, please I would like you to share my short story
with your readers. My husband fights me over our house help and I sometimes
wonder if this is normal. I have never in my life raised my hand to touch her
and the only thing I do is chastise her verbally, which is not cruelty as far
as am concerned. My husband however, thinks differently as he thinks she can do
no wrong.

When I try to correct her, which doesn’t happen very often
because I am someone that overlooks a lot of things, my husband comes after me
and it turns out to be a big fight. I have asked him severally if he is
sleeping with her, and even stylishly asked the girl too, but both have denied
it. I believe strongly that he is not, and I really don’t want to send her back
to her village because getting a house help in Lagos has become a difficult
task.

Nevertheless, can anyone give me a clue because this sounds
and looks strange to me as I strongly feel it is abnormal for my husband to be
picking up fights with me over trivial issues such as hers? God bears me
witness that I do not maltreat her. She eats what the family eats and lacks
nothing.
