My Girlfriend Lied About Her Age: Should I Dump Her?

eeh yeh,
so is it because of that,that you want to dump her, don't you know that things can get messy at first but later it might get better. don't forget that she might have said that when you were asking her out and anything can happen,you know the deal my guy.
so be wise if you find out now ,just work it out

this sure sounds like another "catalina and sebastine" but only that this time catalina and not sebastine lied about her age.

ok, on a more serious note, end the relationship from all I can see you've lost interest in her. forget the fact that you said you still love her thats because you can't let her go, somehow you still want to possess her but believe me the love you had for her has shattered.
some one that you don't trust you can't love. 4 real

the girl sounds good but made a mistake, you on your own part found it hard to forgive her and you claim you love her. LOVE SURPASSES ALL SINS.

I guess things happened that way because you were not made to be and maybe if  you  both had married, the poor girl may still suffer in your hands!

please learn to be accomodating and forgiving. I know that this HURTS.

I did not go through all the responses, but take it from someone that has been there. I was not directly lied to though. I assumed he was older than me and he did not correct me. About three months into the relationship, we were taking a stroll and he brought out his driver's license and I saw his date of birth. I was already in a shitty mood that day, so I just asked him why he did not correct my assumption and left to cry. Why the cry? Because I began to wonder what more has he been lying about.

See, it is not a matter of the age, it's that the person lied or withheld the truth from you for such a long time. Now, mine was three months into the relationship. But two years? Come on now? She should feel comfortable enough to tell you after such a long time. Mine felt he trusted me enough to handle the confession well,  three months into the relationship and that's why he told me. We dated for seven years. Why we broke up? That's story for another day.

Honestly, I don't know what to believe. Two years is just too long to not tell the truth. I am a firm believer of telling the truth, because the longer you don't say it, the harder it becomes to say it. That might have been what happened. If you genuinely respect her, (see I did not say love, because nowadays, love no get meaning anymore) and you know you can get over this, then take her back. (Think you already did sef).

All the best, because you will need it.

Davidylan, that was a Splendid one ! Guys like You are Rare. Can I meet You ?

Thou readest my response on this thread, thou hast already met me. 

@ Ranpunzel, thanks. Actually guys like me are common place, you just have to search a little harder. 

Haba, take it easy na. all becaus she lied bout her age? its a normal thing for most naija girls to lie bout their age na. 4give her , she loves u and the feeling is mutual. just sit her down and ask her what made her do it, infact start asking her to start confessing to you.if she has any skeletons in her cupboard.

@ davidlyan

why r u so concerned about buying him a gift, I didnt ask him out u know.

and please your head shouldn't swell because u have gotten yourself some female admirers here, well I am not one of them because u don't share same view with me, You know what i mean

thanks hon, i'll keep you on my list. 


Dont worry, there is no chance of my head swelling at all. I like to dwell in the realm of reality.
Wait, so because a guy asked you out it is now his responsibility to get you gifts? What then is your responsibility in a relationship beyond saying yes and recieving/demanding gifts? Is the reciept of gifts your sole reason for entering into a relationship?

girls like you discourage a lot of guys interested in a real committed relationship. That level of reasoning is so shallow and your excuse is not even tenable for a 12yr old.

this topic is gradually changing into love zone, instead of offering advice for the poorguy,

anyway sha, @ poster lie is very common in a relationship, search yourself too, are you keeping anything from her too?

just overlook it if you still love her,

don't lose wots good for you.

Don't bother !  Am sure your list STINKS !
How Cheeky !

funmeme,
e be like say you don do such thing before. see the way you took it with a pinch of salt

chaiman,such is life.just find it in your heart 2 4give her and let her not repeat such again because little drop of rain makes an ocean.if she decide 2 cotinue that way it mayt get 2 the point of her telling u great one which may lead 2 great disstruction

Sincerely speaking men like David are hard to find, true gentlemen, that's why he’s got female admirers, so don’t blame him, for having a list,  because what a real woman  actually seeks out is security and he is a true gent for not giving in easily, because I guess he is already  taken, sorry Rapunzel!!   

haba,don't dump her because she lied about her age,she might just be scared of loosing u
am sure she'ld make a good wifey.

Word men! this seems to be a realistic post from a 3 dimensional thinker, i suspect you're an Architect
How many of u guys out there would agree to get married to a girl who is to say the least 3 years older than u and believe u will always b in control?
How many of those lying girls can accept to tie the knot with a younger guy in Naija, when u know old age will catch up
with u sooner than him and he'll still be looking 10yrs younger and attractive to younger chicks making u feel like an old cargo.
As africans for a man to head a home he has tobe ahead, in every situation, immagine him relating to your friends all older and seemingly wiser than him
one day when he tries to make a point, they'll callhim small boy. GOD FORBID!
