My Boyfriend Complains About My Tribe by AloyEmeka5: 10:47pm On May 19, 2010
[size=14pt]Dear Agatha, My boyfriend complains about my tribe, height[/size]

Dear Agatha,



http://odili.net/news/source/2010/may/19/401.html



I thank God Almighty for your life and pray he continues to increase your wisdom. May you be watered as you water God’s people.

I have been in a relationship with a Christian brother for almost a year now. He asked me to marry him from the onset and I conceded after a few months. The relationship, to a great extent, has not really been fun-filled and fulfilling as I expected.

Along the line, he told me his parent and siblings have expressed reservations for his choice of a life partner. I am an Igbo, while he is an Edo man. When we went to visit his people, they actually acted out their disapproval.

This isn’t the only challenge the relationship is facing. He is also having issues with my height. I am of an average height and he is not really on the tall side. One of his complaints is that he doesn’t want to have children who are would not be tall.

Right now the whole thing is hanging but he doesn’t appear to want to break up the relationship. I’ve not walked out because most things about him seem like prayers answered to me.

What do I do? Do I tell him off or just watch him do what he wants to do? I have just two weeks, starting from today, to take a decision.

Please, I really count on your advice.

Mabella.

Not in Nigeria. Even cancer or HIV is caused by tribes in Nigeria.

LOL, that is funny but I get it.  My helper/housekeeper was telling me yesterday that she miscarried a couple of times because someone was bewitching her because she (other woman) wanted her husband, WTF, she is adamant too so I can't say jack about it, except "OK"!  cheesy

SA,

Suggest to your housekeeper that she get her cervix sew shut when she get pregnant again often time when a woman's miscarries it can be the cervix isn't strong enough to sustain the pregnancy. I don't what kind doctor she is dealing with but the doctor should have looked into that.


Poster,

My fiance is Igbo and he is tall. I am short in comparison, but his family calls me CUTIE MIDGET because they are over SIX FEET TALL, but I told them being short has it advantage, I can fix in smaller place when it time to hide!

Your boyfriend just have a complex with being short and his insecurity is affecting the relationship however, you must decide what you want to deal with and how you are going to deal with it. IF the relationship continue on a rocky ground, it will soon CRASH.

My housekeeper is now 50 so not making babies anymore, she managed to have two kids after the miscarriages and also she is from a rural background so in her mind, she was being bewitched, thanks anyway!

That is Africa for you. She wouldn't care to check whether she has a hidden health problem responsible for that because she is convinced that another woman who is sleeping with her husband is eating her children.
