In a heartbeat, I would marry against ma parents wishes.  I am an adult and it is ma life.  I can't be pushed around that easily.  If the marriage does not work out. . . then it is ma business!  The ones sanctioned be parents are not 100% insured with success so what is the problem? Undecided

If they cannot be happy for me. . . .tooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!  They have done such a fantastic job as parents and if they choose not to have me in their lives for the chances I choose to find happiness. . . .tough!  Life goes on!

IT'S MA LIFE! Cool

Thank God I do not have such parents anyway.  Whatever makes us happy is what they support.  They are not meddlesome, semi-illiterate, village-minded, gap-toothed, gossip loving, unemployed, busy-bodies or control freaks!

Only jobless, unhappy parents who regret their own prison-like marriages seek to re-live their unhappy lives through their children's by objecting to their children's marriages.  Any child as an adult who listens to his or her parents flimsy objections is setting himself or herself up for "borrowed or transplanted" unhappiness. 

"I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MASELF". . .so don't need anyone's help at all.  They really should learn to act as parentssupportive not busy bodies!

I don't know why Igbos, most especially Anambra people, don't allow their children, especially the daughters, to marry from another tribe.

I don't know about this one oo

If u have respect for your parent and u want their blessing then u would not marry against there wish if u do then u should knw that the marriage wouldn't last  almost  2years their is always going to be trouble until the both of u dipart son don't do it. I'm talking from experience. i will nottalk 2much

So all failed marriages did not have the parents consent? I f yours failed it might be your fault.You argument holds no water.

I applaud your patience in responding ever so kindly to a dimwit! Kiss

I suggest you draw closer to him and tap his skull.  You will find only a "hollow" resonating sound. . . .obviously indicating that no one was ever home!  All faculties are in search of "greener" pastures in the arse of a fowl!
