If not, any that knows their job and UK immigration law I am free for an appointment wednesday THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP! |

@sesman - thanks - but try telling an african man he needs counselling!!! lol - hmm somehow i dont see that going down too well. i do love him and i am willing to work though it with him -provided he too makes an effort and sees that its a theat to our relationshp - just because its the way he is is not acceptable he has been like that since childhood and when i first met his mum she told me you need a patient heart and calm head to deal with him and to not take things too much to heart i suppose mothers know their sons. its not easy as i need to find a way of dealing with it and talking to him that he wont offend his maculinity |

Thanks Stillwater - i will do that, it'll be hard to leave - but I am pray that God's will be done and if that is it - then (let me not event hink like that now) |
Romance / Re: I Advice Please by luxoire(f): 2:56pm On Feb 09, 2010 |
stillwater: I think this is where i am at the moment, we were looking to the whole marriage thing because by then it would have been over 2yrs of courting. And i fear the emotional toruture more than anything right now! I am not getting any younger - but i am certainly not old - i am at that stage where it would be nice to get married, but i can afford a about 3 more yrs (God willing) |
Romance / Re: I Advice Please by luxoire(f): 2:16pm On Feb 09, 2010 |
Thanks for the advice so far, and yes i would love to marry me, like i said he is perfect in every other way but the anger thing! Has he ever, raised his hand at me? No, ahas he ever insinuated he felt like it - No, Do i think he will ever change? - not completely (but i think he could make more of an effort to control it) am i ready to spend the rest of my life with someone like this - not at the level he is at the moment (hence the second thoughts) but i would if i see making and active effort. hence why i am willing to give him more time (like someone said - better a a postponed wedding than a broken marriage) |
Romance / Re: I Advice Please by luxoire(f): 1:15pm On Feb 09, 2010 |
Thanks ladies - the general consensus seems to be he cant change - i want to believe he can, and i think it may be too soon to give up on him yet. Perhaps push the wedding to next year and tell him the reason. though how do you tell a man i dont want to marry you because of your anger? na wah ohh @rave - i feel you and i have often thought of the last point you made about the kids, it something that eats away at me, as same way he expects respect in front of them, i would too i think i need to give let him know how i feel and take it from there ideally |
Romance / Re: I Advice Please by luxoire(f): 11:26am On Feb 09, 2010 |
jay bee: You see that is it - it is his only fault - he is in eveyr other way the perfect man - Pastor told me same as above, that if it were his only fault and my temperament complements his (which it does) then there is a reason God put us together and so we should work and support each other. I dont think he will ever feel as though he 'owns' me - as his family dont even particularly believe in bride price etc, its just that I need God to soften his heart in anger and let him be more tolerant I do love him and ideally i would like this all resolved before we get married, but like someone said down there it probably wont just disappear it takes time I see my mum's point, |
Romance / Re: I Advice Please by luxoire(f): 11:08am On Feb 09, 2010 |
@Ebonyz - thanks choc - think you are right it needs addressing - i know i am not faultless and sometimes i probably get on his nerves but sure it should not be that bad. Atleast i admit there is a prob that needs addressing |
Romance / Re: I Advice Please by luxoire(f): 10:57am On Feb 09, 2010 |
Typical answers - probably cant be bothered - i wonder hoe many of us Africans actually make counselling a carrer! |

ebonyz: is that all the perspective you can offer - anyway thanks |
Romance / I Advice Please by luxoire(f): 10:41am On Feb 09, 2010 |
My boyfriend has anger problems, in that he gets really angry very quickly and when he gets angry he does not eat my food, does not talk to me at times for days until he calms down. We love each other and are planning to get married in December. We have been together over a year now. He knows he has anger problems, and even our pastor has tried to talk to him about it. He always apologises and is quick to restore peace. He is a traditionalist in that he thinks african girls abroad are lax and not as submissive / respective as they should be. So he takes the whole respect and submissive thing very seriously and you can imagine how angry he gets at the least notion of not being given his due respect / authority We had a falling out on friday night, and didnt talk to each other. On sunday we went to my mum's as we had promised her a visit. Whilst there we started talking about jobs back home, and a friend of mine that left UK to work for Guiness back home. infront of my mum, he stood up and said that will not happen and walked out of the room and walked back in to say lets go home. (his tone was angry and not very respectful)He drinks (occassionally) but as a born again he was brought up in a household that did not encourage drinking and so does not support the industry. I was brought up in a catholic household and i suppose my mum didnt think much of it, its just a job. My mum called me and is having a go saying she did not like his tone, anger outburst or reaction in front of her, she is not comfortable thinking that is how he talk to me (does not discuss things) and that i will live the rest of my life with such a person. She wants us to discuss somethings and not just take his word for final because he says so. She does not want to bring it up with him as she might lose her temper, so she thinks i should tell him how she feels and let him come and apologise to her if he thinks he did something wrong. I sometimes have doubts and thinks what if he doesnt change? what is the difference between being submissive nad being opressed? He wants me to trust his judgment and do what he asks of me - which i do sometimes, but then what about what i like/want to do, does that not count for anything? Also, should i just let the whole thing with my mum go, or bring it up with him? We just started talking again since last friday (he has calmed down) this might mean we don't talk for the whole week. I need help to understand and get my head round the whole thing. At the start of this year, we were so sure and I was so sure about us, but now i need to find a way to deal with his anger, cos it seems he wont change soon. |
Romance / Steps To Engagement by luxoire(f): 11:33am On Oct 26, 2009 |
Hey ppl Just looking for some general knowledge / consensus on the following: 1. How long should an engagement last? ( i know it depends on circumstances etc, ) on average! 2. What is the correct sequence to go about a marriage from engagement to marriage. If both parties are from different places, whose culture dominates? the woman or man? Thanks |
Romance / Re: I Am Still In Love With My Ex-boyfriend by luxoire(f): 10:25am On Aug 13, 2009 |
what made you break up with him? has he moved on and is with someone else? - if so, forget him - if he is single and you think you may hoenstly both truly be able to make things work then go back to him. No point in deceiving the ne guy any further 1 Like |

Romance / Re: How Do I Curb Selfishness? by luxoire(f): 9:50am On Aug 13, 2009 |
darqly: wrong attitude to have. if you really appreciate her and loveher like you say you do! then you will yearn to spend time with her - exp where you guys dont seem to have much time together stop taking her and her feelings for granted - because she may just surprise you one day and stop always being there - who you going to blame then? I am saying, make time for her more often - if you love her like you say - do the things to make her happy with you and the r/ship. don't push her away. Everyone is human, when someone feels like they are the one doing all the giving in a r/ship it is only a matter of time before they get fed up and stop giving |
Romance / Re: How Do I Curb Selfishness? by luxoire(f): 2:05pm On Aug 12, 2009 |
Selfishness is natural and can not be cured i think I have found what works for me is trust. If in a relationship where i trust my partner will look after me and my best interests i tend to let go and look after theirs and them as I dont feel i have to worry about me me me all the time But when i am in a r/ship where i am not confident/comfortable, i am always trying to second guess his next move so as to be one step ahead - always trying to look after me cause if i dont he def wont, infact he will use and abuse and take So i dont go into a r/ship until I trust my partner will look after me as that is what i know i will do for him Reading your reply above you problem is you dont care/love her enough to make those sacrifices for her, considering how often you see her. the above is not even selfishness, it self centredness, you expect the world and r/ship to revolve around you, your life and your terms and you wont accomodate some one else' either that or you take her love and care and good naturedness for granted knowing that if you that she will OR you just simply are not matured enough in mind to have the kindl of r/ship you want. it is only a matter of time before any good natured woman feels like your door mat and gets fed up with your attitude - but then you cant put up with a self centered woman either so you will either be single, be a serial heart breaker or just be unhappy |
Romance / Re: Should There Be Privacy In Relatioships? by luxoire(f): 1:55pm On Aug 12, 2009 |
ebila: i donty think he will say yes to that - but you can ask when i make him mad!! lol - i didnt always used to be this way, it took alot of learning to get to this stage and the mutual trust pays off |
Romance / Re: Should There Be Privacy In Relatioships? by luxoire(f): 1:13pm On Aug 12, 2009 |
privacy should be allowed out of respect and trust, but you should not HIDE anything. its a thin line especially when you live together. My partner and I have privacy, but at the same time, if i e-mail or FB account was open when he went online, i would not be worried about what he will see etc, cos i have nothing to hide and vice versa so i can leave my phone in same room as him and go out or even ask him to answer my call when i am out of reach - but it doesnt mean he should go sneaking up behind me checking my msgs etc, |

Romance / Re: Girls: Would U Let Your Bf Date Your Gf? by luxoire(f): 12:11pm On Jul 14, 2009 |
whitelexi: my point exactly - some ppl should be left to make up their own minds - talking them into things usually ends badly glad you learnt - isn't that what the journey of life is all about?!! |
Romance / Re: Girls: Would U Let Your Bf Date Your Gf? by luxoire(f): 5:37pm On Jul 13, 2009 |
whitelexi: Who told you she'd have minded? y'all assumed on her behalf that it would hurt her feelings - i am sure if given the choice, she'd rather have let you guys let her go and never contact her intially than deal with the heart ache now Don't date a girl out of pity if your mind aint there! |
Romance / Re: Girls: Would U Let Your Bf Date Your Gf? by luxoire(f): 5:20pm On Jul 13, 2009 |
why would you advise your friend to date someone he has told you he is not interested in. Well i suppose we all have different views / opinions on this - of course Puffy is a grown man and has the right to love who ever, and so does Laura. but when your love starts messing with those close to you and other ppl's sentiments, then it's time you stopped and review the situation! Lexi - my statement hurt you huh? well sorry, i just thought you'd steer clear of certain things, but then it is your friend and i suppose you only gave him your honest opinion on the issue - in my experience, if a guy says No and that is his gut instincts he usually strays at some point, even if he grows to deeply love and care for the girl in question! who knows though, maybe I am wrong. In which case, i have more to learn on life and love |
Romance / Re: Girls: Would U Let Your Bf Date Your Gf? by luxoire(f): 3:04pm On Jul 13, 2009 |
All of you are to blame Lexi - for not allowing Puffy to make his own mind up in the first place - thought better of you!! Puffy- for not standing your ground when you said you were not interested in Angel - sissy!! abi na woman wrapper i go call you Laura - for wanting to date your friend's man - shame no hold you? - if the tables were turned and your fellow friend/woman did this to you how would you feel? You should not even have entertained these thoughts/advances, to the statge where Angel has to find out - and you call yourself a friends?!! Angel - for being such a drama queen. wettin? so d guy no want do again - from what i gather you have a lot going for you. alot even some of the guys in this sorry little mess would be willing to give an eye and an arm for!! (Lexi inc) so chin up girl and move on, you will find some one else who will love you and want you for keeps!! Bottom line - Angel, dump Puffy and tell Laura to never call you - cut all links with both and all of them and move on with your life - you can't force a man to like you when he likes someone else because it is only a matter of time before they cheat on you emotionally or physically. If Laura is willing to be with Puffy then she shouldnt expect you to be happy for her as you too are heart broken the rest of you, leave them alone as obviously your interest is Puffy - Leave him to make his own decisions and if it is a mistake later - he will pick up the pieces. But you should leave Angel alone to get on with her life as hanging on to all this drama will only cause her more pain!! |
