young man u can't love someone u have nt married. dis generation keeps deceiving themselves with boy friend and girlfriend love. you have no business whatsoever doing with someone u don't like if u got no marriage plans at heart. stick to d first but I see u suffering for 40 years if u marry any of these. Go and find a true wife . who says we can't be perfect? has God not commanded us to be perfect?

Please guys come to my rescue....

This is centered around two female which i do not want to loose but have to select one to marry. Here goes...

I met these ladies around the same period, i asked Labake out and after the initial gra gra she accepted to date me. thing are getting serious now that i had to ask her certain questions... She has been into business for like 6 years and when i asked what was her savings from the biz she said NOTHING. I asked the reason and she said debts and some other excuses. In short she has no savings and told me to my face i am providing all she will be needing in marriage, relocating her shop from one town to where i am and other things even to her sanitary towels! What is annoying me is that have i now offended the gods that i want to marry her and there taking over her liabilities (her body being the only asset)! I do not have a problem meeting these needs but she has to meet up at some point which she cannot do! I just like/love her i dont know why despite these liability.

On the other hand, there is Shalewa, who is more than willing to meet my people, she has a job and even a business. She encourages me to be the best and all other positives. The problem here is that i dont have a feeling for her at all, but i dont want to let go. Mind you we have not had sex even with Labake

Guys please if you were in my shoes what would you do? Who will you take home to mamma. Cos i want to do that this december and wrap up marriage. But i am in a dilemma for nowQ

please advice maturedly
As you have stated you love Labake, She has no savings,Yes. If the table was turned, wouldn't you want another chance? If you can hold off showing anybody to you Mum for now, trying supporting Labake's business, financially and skill wise (book keeping and savings) and see how she turns out first before you cut her off. You are probably what she needs or she was missing in her business, someone to either encourage or coerce her to save, plus you need to pray too. Shalewa has errything you want, but no feelings btw both of you, she's like a sister to you already, asking her out could go one of this two ways it could work or it wouldn't, plus now you haven't seen her relationship face, (her flaws and real character) that could be a game changer.

Bro, plz, be calm. I'm also experiencing the same thing in my relationship. My gf was able to save up to establish a small scale business by herself but unfortunately, she mismanaged the funds & there was nothing to show for it. I'll advise u stick to d first girl. All you need to do is lecture her on how to become a better business woman and how to save up. You already know her flaw, help her tackle it and keep an eye on how she runs her business.

Acidosis:
You don't marry someone because you LOVE them.


Married couples fall in "love" after wedding oo. Falling in 'love' is a never ending process.

You marry because you are compatible. My advice: get closer to the girl you claim you don't love. Love grows with TIME. There is no such thing as falling in love at FIRST SIGHT. Just spend more time with her, as in quality time and watch that love grow

Re: I Am In A Dilemma by Nwogeh: 8:47am On Dec 18, 2015
I guess the lazy one is more presentable or pretty may be that is why u prefer her. Well as for me, what we see as love or feeling now is not what we keep our marriage after 10yrs. Check compatibility, values and attitude generally, check the one that u can entrust ur family with incase u are not there. which of them can really represent u well and which of dem believe in what u believe. Finally, get closer to d 2nd person nd undstand why u dont ve feeling 4her, i guess may be cos d 1st has occupied d space in ur hrt. It happened to me also, d 1st girl i truely loved and cherish like no other happens to be an extreme feminist but she has all it takes to be my wife but its either she ends up being d head directly or indirectly or atleast 50:50 power sharing, and i dont beliv in such i beliv in feminism but not against d very tradition, culture and value system of our land so i went 4anoder more relaxed person with all d good qualities as well but not as sharp as d 1st one. Though i never had dt initial feelings but after sometime, i discovered dt i cannot do without her....i have come to cherish her more dan anyone eva n we r starting our marriage dis month. So u see, u ve to go beyond feelings and check compatibility because dts d only thing dt will keep both of u going wen all dis we call love and feeling finally go down. what lublicates love at 20, 30, 40, 50 n so on canneva be d same......so look 4dt oil dt will keep d marriage going at all time. In all, pray cos i did as well and i got confrimation b4 i proceeded....note also dt i did not ve s*x with any of dem as well. GOODLUCK as i wish to know ur choice wen u finally take a stance

If I was ur bro, what wld you advice me to do?

Labake is a typical Nigerian lady- dependent, and non developing. Apart from her biz woes, don't be surprised she will fall short in some other important aspect. Needless to say, she's pretty? If you are capable, go for the beauty and forget the brains. Mind you, your kids may sufer for this, especially the one that takes after her mom.

The 2nd one is obviously bright and smart. You don't detest her but there's no fire in the relationship - there's a spark though. "Behind every successful man,there's a woman"-this kind of woman!.
If you tend the spark and stoke it, it'll become a fire. Put your mind on her. Think of what you both can achieve together in the nearest future.

Now you are stuck with choosing either the beauty or the brain!

Ur description of Labake does nt show dat she's lazy. U said she's been in biz, ryt? Only that she has no savings. Then u should help her do beta in her biz n to save. U seem happy wit Shalewa being by u, apply d same principle to ur relationship wit d one u like/love.
If u marry d one u dont hv feelings for, u may later end up running back into d arms of d one u hv feeling for!

I heard guys ask for such advice when in great dilemma, unfortunately most of them don't really know what they want. And some have surface meaning of love and feeling.
My brother, marry a woman who will bring the best out of you. Love is not a FEELING, not at all. Love is [b]service, understanding, patience,openness, faithfulness etc according to 1 Cor 13:4-8.
What you are feeling is certain emotion, it's usually disappears easily especially when the die is cast. Please, emotion is not love, whatever you are feeling today is ephemeral, emotion don't last but character does!

Why should you be dating two people in the first place.
Anyways, you are waiting for perfection and guy there's no such thing.
My advice to you would be to sit Labake down and make her know what you think about her attitude to work.
Better let Shalewa go so a man that loves her can marry her.



Thank you, my sister!!!

Labake is obviously the woman for u, jst sit her down, talk sense into her and see her change. Besides, are u really sure she'll give u her account details when there is no commitment? Abi u want to share the marriage spendings with her. Girls are not senseless u know.

I will advice you seek spiritual help rather dan verbal advice here as none of them may even b ur wife. Either you Pray urself and even fast if u can (that is if u no ur God and how to call him) or go to spiritual elders (Pastor, alfa or babalawo). Marriage is a crucial stage in a man's life as any mistake may even cost one's life. I wish you well bro.
