Ogugua, you're as a Nigerian living in diaspora may have a view of this phenomenon just as your hosts views it. But all in all, [size=18pt]THIS IS AFRICA![/size] We don't view things as you tend to view it there. [size=18pt]Spacing is seen here as weakness or been bored hence giving your partner especially the man every reason to bring in a third party.[/size] So if you've have the wish of getting married to an African brought up in Africa by Africans, then start from today to learn how to get the issue of spacing outta your mind. 1 Like |

Na wa o. All that for me? No one has to view things as I do. I simply saw an article I liked and posted it in hopes of others liking it too. It's nearly 2013, not 1913. We as Nigerians/Africans have learned to speak up about our unhappy relationships and marriages or those of others, in hopes of seeking solutions to those problems and preventing them from reoccuring. The concept of spacing is one I agree with. It's possible that others in unhappy relationships can have time to themselves and while in solitude, realize who they're missing, and then find their ways back to their loved ones as well as sanity. I pray una read the article o. Again, spacing is not a long vacation, not in most cases. When you're stressed or not feeling your best with your significant other or spouse, go away for a while and find your footing again. Others can perceive it however they wish. I no send. I'm not dating or married to them and they certainly don't know what's best for me or my relationship. If spacing can sustain us, then so be it. If I do get married, it is my wish that he'll be a Nigerian brought up by a Nigerian family in Nigeria. It's also my wish that he'll be progressive and understanding, rather than uncompromising and demanding. He exists 1 Like |

*Walks to the cupboard* *Searching for old-school music* *Finds one by Bright Chimezie titled 'Oyibo mentality' and plays it.* Back to topic, I wasn't saying the article was bad but what it would mean to an African man who has been looking for a way to sleep outside but because of what people would say, he tries as hard as possible to sustain his urges and you come as an African lady to your African man and say, 'nyem ohere' or 'funmi space'. Awwwwwwwww! 1 Like |

"Oyibo Mentality"? Hardly. Our mentality is to shut up and take whichever problems come our way. We all have stories of parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc., who were in unhappy relationships but endured them, often times for fear of the "s" word: SHAME. Seeking ways to rekindling the romance flame is not "oyibo mentality" but common sense. If something's failing or not working, the obvious response is to find a way to make it work. Nigerians are too used to the "if it's not working make we manage am like dat" philosophy. Sometimes, it's manageable. Often times, it's not. I'd rather be married for 30 years and happy or at least trying to make my husband and I happier than married and miserable and unwilling to make changes. 1 Like |

Ogugua, you made a nice post no doubt. But the point I was trying to make is that spacing is not the average African way. When the average African man were able to manage as many as 10 wives in the olden days, why would they wan't to cope with the word 'spacing' with only one wife. 1 Like |
