Let me cut the story short. Had a fling with this girl, along the line she got pregnant. You know all that talk of "if you could sleep with her, then you must marry her" "if you got her pregnant then you must marry her", Iooking back now, I wished I hadn't listened to all those voices.

I knew in my heart that I didn't love her, even she knew but the pressure from the family was too much, I had to marry her. On my marriage day I was practically crying within me.

Her character is just opposite of all I wanted in a woman, she's barely educated, loud and loquacious.

That's my cross I am carrying today, stuck in a loveless marriage.

The warmth and Romance is absent from our home, we have not had intimacy since beginning of the year till now, we just have no interest anymore in each other. We are just living together for the sake of our child.

My question now is how does one cope�? Is this how I am going to live the rest of my life?

OP I have a feel of what are passing through. It's quite a pity you had sex with her.

I once had this small (petite) Yoruba girl. I was first attracted to her because I thought she was Igbo due to her fair complexion.

We got into d friendship, gosh!! She was there, everyday, every night. She will call with her credit and we will gist in Yoruba, we were an item, yet I refuse to ask her out.

I couldn't imagine myself with a Yoruba lady, even if I managed to get pass that hurdle what about her education? She was a hairstylist, her mom had just passed on, her father was away in Benin Republic, her brother was in Abk, so she was just alone in one room.

Two years gone, we were still friends, she kept on asking why I was taking time cry I really wanted to love her enough to date her but I couldn't find it. She asked if it was because she wasn't in school, then after my NYSC, she got admission to a Polytechnic, she thought I might have a change of heart. I didn't.

Every opportunity to go see her, I turned it down. It's now 4 years, she has decided to move on. I was still trying to close my eyes and imagine that she isn't Bisola but Nkechi or Chioma. Funny is that we spoke Yoruba everytime we spoke.

She invited me one day for that stuff, I told myself; don't do this if you don't love her enough to date her. I didn't go.

The following month she got a date, but she wasn't feeling it. We kept on talking and my presence was a distraction to her new found love. Las las d guy blocked me everywhere and I decided to let it be.

Sometimes, I just seat and beat my heart or brain for not finding that push or extra space to accommodate that girl in my heart.

Truth is sometimes our heart or feelings just plays tricks on us.

My own case was not that I didn't find a very nice beautiful girl but stupid Tribalism wouldn't let me be.
Why are you a tribalist? That's awful.

Interesting. So you do not touch your wife for almost 6 months, and you're living under the same roof?? I guess your wife isn't attractive enough, that now gives room for saying you don't love her. She's local and not sexy, that's simply your problem.

I can't imagine myself indoor with a woman without fvcking d shit outta her for six months. That's why I always pray to marry a woman I'm sexually attracted to. Even if I don't love you, sha have breast and ass for doggy. Sex is d engine that keeps marriage moving.

It could be that she had great physical endowment, before the marriage, but after childbirth everything has lost shape, hence the disinterest on the part of the guy as she has little or nothing more to offer (poor personality).
If the ops is from a certain part of the country that likes 'enjoyment' so much, he would have married wife number 2 by now.

This is a very big problem that ordinary N50 Gold Circle® Condom could have prevented.

But you didn't care.

You dived in raw.

Now you see where your stupidity has led you to?

Ntooooooorrrr gi.

Guys make una learn una lesson from this stupid nigga.

Always use a condom.

No matter what!

Or else you may have to pay the price.

You mustn't stay married to anyone you're not in love with. It is still early to set her free, set yourself free as well for your sound mind. If you stay there, both of you will live in frustration and I bet you don't want to build a home in disarray.
Initially she would cry and lament but trust me she'd get someone else to love her properly and so would you.
No one is coming to this world twice, this one you're sure of, yank off any and everything that would cause you discomfort. You don't want to wake up one day in your 50s or 70s full of regrets and what ifs.

Please make sure to maintain civility while at it.
Thanks.
Now, this is mature. Quite out-of-the-box you didn't approach this from a visceral point of view like others.

Chimo! I must have used the wrong term.

I am not a Tribalist at all o. Abeg, I don't discriminate among people, class or religion. I believe in giving everyone d benefit of the doubt.

However, in marriage or family settings, I don't think I can settle with someone outside my tribe. My family is a very traditional one, I won't be easy and I have seen how my parents lived and I think o will love to model mine after them.

I love the Igbo culture. The food, the music, the language, the dance, everything about it.

I hope I'm not making a big mistake shutting out other tribes. Till date, d best ladies I've met aren't even Igbo.

Sincerely, I wish I did give her a chance but something kept pulling me out everytime I wanted to.

So a woman will just stay and be waiting patiently for a man she has never met for four good years. Odiegwu.

Look. Some baby mamas can make your life hell even after marriage. You don’t defraud a person sexually and go Scott free. All this stories are for the birds. He clearly knew this girls background and knew that he could not marry her but he had unprotected sex with her. Calling it a fling when he knows most girls like that are looking for husband, to escape poverty. The fact that he just noticed her loquacious behavior showed that she did everything to pretend and please him during their relationship.

This type will not be a very good babymama let me tell you! Because she was lied to! He should try and make it work, he can do it. However they did it to impregnate themselves is how they should put in the effort. Try this with my child and try to escape, the guy will die in jail. What you won’t eat, don’t use your mouth to smell it. Who will the girl now come and put the burden of his child on? Her poor parents? You are joking.
Die in jail for what exactly? For not marrying her after impregnating her?

Try and get to know her, try understanding her and get all to her. Both of u need to sit down and talk about you (both) and ur likes and dislikes, virtually about everything, if nothing changes well separation or u bear it till the end.

You know love is grown
the relationship is loveless and this textbook solution you're proferring won't solve the problem.

get a divorce. Don't ever force yourself or listen to others against your happiness. Your happiness comes before any other thing. Your kid won't be the first to live with divorced parents, won't be the last either. Going your separate ways doesn't mean you won't be able to take care of your kid.

If you divorce her, there is a high chance that you will regret it because of your child.

I'm not a marriage counsellor but what I know works like a magic in your situation is:

1. Try to identify her love language which she must have been telling you verbally or through body language but YOU ARE LIKELY NOT LISTENING TO HER (I don't mean not hearing, I mean LISTENING TO HER).

2. When you identify her love language, meet that need......(clue: I think most women love gifts).

3. Also, try to see how you can develop her either by furthering her education or setting up/expanding a business for her.

4. Give her parents more surprise visits with gifts for them as well (you can do this without her).

Sex will naturally come before you know and your relationship will receive a boost.

Thank me later.

LOVE is a thing of the mind.

Trust me, if you just close your eyes and think of at least one thing you like about her then focus on that one thing whilst you accommodate other inadequacies, you will realize it is easy to love her.

Anybody can love anybody... It is about conditioning your mind.
