Pls I Need Advice/he Wants Me To Change Everything About Myself. by crystalflies: 5:45pm On Feb 23, 2015
I've known him around my hood for 6yrs now, he's been trying to get 2 me since the 1st day he set eyes on me,but i always ignored him, a year ago anytime he sees me he would be shouting Hey!!! With a command tone asking me 2 give him 1min., i ignored him few times, but 1day i just decided to listen to him, and also tell him to stop calling me "Hey" cuz it was annoying, so i told him my name, and i asked what he wanted, he said he liked me & he wants 2 make me his wife, it took time before i released my fone number 2 him, cuz i think he's proud, he took time 2 understand d kind of person i was before he was able to get me to reason with him, Now i know he's a good person and he only wants a "good thing" and not a "bad thing" from me. He came 2 my house once..... He attends MFM church and he says i will have to change for him , he said i should think about how i am going 2 stop wearing trousses,wearing hair ext., makeup,earrings etc. That's if i want 2 be his wife, "i frowned with my eyes" lol... cuz am not good @ respondin quickly but i told him it aint possible,... But he said i should go and pray and think about it., the next time we discussed i told him i cant change anything, cuz i sat down 1day and imagined giving out all my troussers jewelries and makeup away, and i realized i cant do it. So i 4got about him, after a wee... while he came again still asking me 2 change, and i still told him i cannot, and that i dont want 2 talk about this again...,the third time he came again i had to tell him bluntly " if u cant accept me the way i am then leave me alone" if i have to sacrifice my style for him what will he sacrifice for me in return. Relationship experts always say you shouldnt try to change someone, So now he called yesterday telling me to 4get d issue dat his friend from lagos wants 2 talk 2 me, dat his friend adviced him., i was not in town so i couldnt go, but promised 2 see them coming weekend, Now my fear is dat his friend might want 2 talk me into changing my mind, which may get me upset. I dont like it wen people try 2 change me. U know guys can be trickish*, I need ur advice AM I RIGHT OR AM WRONG IN MY ACTIONS AND REACTIONS??

Op, I read your post and I have a lot to say

Firstly,I don't like religious fanatics. They believe that their belief is superior to that of others and everyone should follow their beliefs and behave the same way they behave

Op I believe this guy is one of them religious fanatics. No offense.
I won't dabble into religious ordinances as pertaining dressing because If I do, that means I would be writing a whole epistle.

But I have to say this, nobody has the right to force you into his belief. He hasn't even married you and his is already expressing his authority in such a manner.
I don't think wearing make-up and trousers has anything to do with your level of spirituality.

Now op, I have a question for you. Do you love this guy. Because if you don't then I don't see why you should continue with the relationship. There are other men out there that would respect you for who you are

As for me, I don't like this kind of guy. Please I am just speaking for myself. These kind of men are too domineering. They feel like they own you and you should submit fully to their laws.

Op, don't change who you are because of a man. That's all I have to say

You are not wrong. If you don’t like the way I am in the first place, why come around me?

I can change some things or perhaps reduce it to an extent if I can. You can't just come in from nowhere and change some basics about my life.

Go and marry a girl from your church who could do that whole-heartedly for you.

I will tell you right now you are completely incapable of
making these changes to please him or to save your
relationship. I don't care how much you love him, it will
not happen. However, if you want to do it for your own
reasons, then there's nothing you can't achieve.
So decide if you want to go through the process of
making these changes, and this decision should be
irrelevant to whether you're going to stay with this guy
or not.
If you decide you don't want to make these changes,
then you should tell your boyfriend so and that you need
to break up. Find someone for whom these issues aren't
as important.
If you decide you do want to make these changes, then
you should write out the reasons why you want to, and
then work out a plan how you're going to go about
altering your habits. You should let your boyfriend know
that you want to work on these, and that you want to
work on them for your own sake, not his, and that you'd
appreciate his support, and then tell him about what
you are going to do and how he can help you.

follow your heart !

Abians have started rejecting the attempts to bribe them with morsels of food and little cash by visionless and planless Guber candidates of the APGA and PDP parties. They are demanding for each candidate to lay down his plans for Abia because Abians are not beggers.
The shocker has just begun.

Labor party all the way.

Did he not see you with the trousers and make up before running after you?
if you want to make this kind of changes, it has to be for yourself and out of your own conviction; not to please someone.

This is your call not his. Be sure of the compromises you can make here and there to adapt yourself to him maybe the trousers can go but other stuffs can stay? You know stuffs along these lines. I hope he is worth the overhaul he requires from you this is not a 1 week trip but a lifetime walk so be sure he is worth it before you say yes.

Lol! I already foresee an unhappy marriage in the making if you go ahead and accept his proposal. What then is the point if a person doesn't love you for who you are but what he/she wants you to be?

You will eventually get tired and frustrated of the marriage. Move on with your life. So far you have good virtues, you would surely attract more serious men in your life.

Rush in, rush out.

My few words.
