There is this friend of mine dat is in a dilema, she has been dating a guy she loves for 6yrs nw, his a graduate but hasn't gotten a job yet. Her parents got disturbed cos she had gotten to the age of marriage, therefore they found a rich man who was a young widower with 2 kids to marry her.

She is now confused, is she to keep waiting for her boyfriend to get a job or should she follow her parents advice and marry the rich widower?

OP are you sure u ar nt d 1?

..

She shouldnt get married to the rich guy with feelings attached coz nothing on earth will make that marriage work..
As for the poor guy there is always an ogboni members confraternity to join ...
I drop my phonephone

from ur dp u are the girl in question whilst the dude is the yet to be employed graduate

Prayer is d key

Tell her parents to help the guy get better job or set up a business for him so he could marry her.

Go for d love abeg. U cant cope wit d rich man without loving him n especially his children, u will end up getting frustrated. SURU LERE

judging from experience she "could" just be the one..
Most of them hide their true position in the event by "saying" my friend my brother sister mother father and so on needs advice"...
Their own cup of mistletoe..

Some women just sucks big time, A lady of marriageable age who don't have a mind of her own is like a baby who still need d parents to change her diaper.

She knows she might never find happiness being with a widower with 2 kids and playing the role of step mother, so what is she confused abt? She rather move on and keep searching for a new man altogether than marry a widower.

Tell her to choose between marital happiness and money m

You all keep saying she shouldn't marry for money, what if the rich widower is actually in love with her?

Shouldn't that be enough reason to get hitched to the man?

@Op, this isn't the time to fantasize and relive memories of last 6yrs, this is the time to be pragmatic.

Explain the situation of things to your boyfriend, if he isn't ready to walk you down the aisle, then move on with the rich man while your stocks still dey attractive.

Time waits for no one.

I am yet to read the content of your post, but let me quickly give you my opinion based solely on the topic. GO FOR THE MONEY

MODIFIED....OP, okay, I know its you and not your friend. STICK WITH MONEY. King Solomon of ancient isreal said "Money answers all things" Yes all things including love. Who says the widowed guy wont love you more than your six year old boyfriend.

Meanwhile, the guy above me is the wisest man on Nairalan, follow him.

Define rich

a man with golf 3 in a 2 bedroom rent house

Blackett:
Don't let your parents decide your marital life for you.

This does not mean though, that your bf of 6 years is gonna marry you once he starts making money.

That one dey again. The guy fit get money begin misbehave.

best advice thus far, he aired my thoughts, Op if u are reasonable, u ll do this without a 2nd thought, else you'll have the rest of your life to regret this , never say uncle Ray didn't warn you.

Lesson for the day: Never give up on your dreams to satisfy a girl, she will always prove you wrong. Build yourself, make more money and see them get attracted to you like a metal to magnet.

@ Marriageable age she cant make decisions on her own, even with family she doesn't seem to be able to make one...
Now you think nairaland can help you?

I don't think she is matured..... If she cant pray then she can use logic...
There is no guarantee for tomorrow so do what you have to right now..
