I beg to differ sir!

Merely seeing friends/family that are married then Bachelors know what they are missing.

I have a very close friend who is a 43 year old bachelor and he has turned my kids to his kids...

Dude calls me way ahead of time to discuss how he would celebrate my kid’s birthday (without asking for his help o)

We (Me and wife) tried hooking him up a lot of times but he was very choosy. The last girl we hooked him up with (That appeared to be perfect. 24 year old Young lawyer Who just finished law college) he said she had incision at her back and that was it...

He confided in me sometime ago that he envies me a lot, and that he knows something is missing in his life, which is having a family.

Reason he had been treating my family like his.

Truth is: Bachelor’s know they are lonely, and they miss having a family.

You reason in a myopic way, which is very dangerous. This type of reasoning is why Nigeria is like this.

So because your friend who's a bachelor is missing marriage, that means every bachelor is same? Mitchewww.

It's not easy living as a not-too-old bachelor. I tend to reach out to my friends and their families regularly to rid myself of loneliness temporarily. I take their family like mine because I miss not having a family at this stage of my life. Knowing I was once engaged and went ahead to do the family introduction only for my ex-fiance to call it off over a ridiculous reason few months to the wedding makes the feeling worse. I sometimes find myself lost in thought. I know that one day I will get married and also raise my family. It's not easy.
Money issues?

Why marriage? When a man can get surrogates to have children for him, pay them off after birth, hire nannies to be care givers....so you see, he does not need to get married. wink

Would you love to be a kid growing up in such a situation where you don't know your mom and your dad is away most of the time and you're left to the mercies and shenanigans of the maid?

Op... when was the last time you watched the simpsons, American Dad, Family guy...
Lemme tell you something, you see that small JOY wey you get at that moment they all left?
Now stop there... that's were we are... until we get married.
Find your peace MAN, you can't live both sides, they all come with their prices.

You can't have them all at the same time.

OP,its not easy, I won't lie to you.. The. Boredom and loneliness at times is just not funny.. At 34 I don't even have a girlfriend... To ask a girl out sef just tire me.. I just see women as stress these days. These days, I just go to work, come back and watch dstv, from 5pm until 10pm, then on weekends I watch soccer and the circle continues the next day.. May God help me by sending the right woman.

They probably have other things they spend their time with or they get involved with other vibes in the society as a correct older bachelor would do sometimes. I think one way or the other they get something to occupy the space/gap with the different things that keep them alive.

Ofcourse.. bet9ja, catfish n stout.

Op, I don't mean to be disrespectful or anything, but just do DNA test on your children, and if possible, run the test against your bachelor friend's blood sample. This may sound absurd, but you see that fatherly love your bachelor friend is radiating? It's a reason to be curious.. ever heard of "alpha seeds, beta grows?"; Alpha impregnate, beta fathers?

Anyways, True happiness is the ability to find peace and satisfaction in ones own company. Once you start depending on other people's presence to become happy, then you're truly lonely. The test of happiness is a very simple question; "when I'm all alone, do I really feel happy?" If yes, then you're truly happy

@second paragraph : very true

There was no loneliness for me. I was addicted to God and fellowshiping with Him. In the process of it, all my foundational bondages and unknown covenants and curses got broken.
After that, I was married and now enjoying.

So for those in that stage, it's the right time to discover yourself and know all about your destiny because the marriage u crave for is a work field after honey moon.

When I was taking my kids to their grandpa few days ago to spend the remainder of their holidays I was so happy! Coupled with the fact that my wife was also traveling the following day, my joy knew no bounds. Finally the peace and freedom I craved was here!

This weekend my home didn’t feel happy! It was sad and lonely. I felt cold loneliness throughout. I tried everything I could to distract myself but I miss my family so bad!

I miss our little quarrels, our eventual understanding and acceptance of each other using truce keeping.

I miss their mum badly. This made me wonder? How do older bachelors cope in this very lonely world? Una dey try o... respect.


That's me.

Sometimes I trick my wife to go to their house with my son and spend some days just because I like to be lonely ..


That very day o ,a go dey call her make she come back next day ..


As in ,bachelorhood no dey my blood again

They hate institution of marriage yet they want children. Kids that would be eventually raise by single parent and come problematic to the society the way they themselves lost out.

You mind those confused empty vessels?

Money issues?
If you are referring to the reason why my marriage didn't take place, it had nothing to do with money. She just didn't like the fact that I didn't want to travel for counseling.

Often true, but not always true. Marriage isn't a piece of cake, if you RUSH in, ya RUSH out. So it's best every one, Bachelor or Spinster takes their time before saying "I DO" to prevent stories that touch.

There is nothing in the OPs post that reveals him as a redpiller. Infact it's probably the opposite but this angry black woman is blowing off steam.

Redpillars must have damaged her down below.
