It is not her signature as it is not in every post she makes.

She puts it up in every first post she makes on a thread especially if it is on the first page.

Senseless and dumb childishness as typical of the many fooools that now straddle this site.

Even if it is her signature, it would still be senseless and dumb.

Pastor says u should forgive her if it were him will he forgive? See these marriage is built on false foundation and no amount of pretence will make it work. Bro if u were a catholic I would have advise u to go to marriage tribunal and blv u me the marriage will be dissolve after due process. age is not on ur side. I understand ur plight. Had it been u had a child through her u are ready to forgive but no child. what if you get old how will u cope? this is Africa there is no old peoples home wen u get old. Take a decision now and save ur self had I know. May God bless u with Child so that u keep her as a wife.

I need matured and sincere advice please!

Ok anyway OP lets be practical about this

Are you open to any kind of surrogacy? Since you said you don't want the lady child for health reasons, and you don't want to adopt. If so, start looking for a suitable lady ASAP

Have you yourself gone for any fertility test? Just to make sure the quality of your sperm has not degenerated since the last pregnancy

You say you have forgiven her, but are you sure? Theres no point in saying it but still being boiling underneath. If youre still angry, please address it in whatever way you see fit so that you will be able to come to terms with it and it wont resurface later on

Some people are married to younger women and still don't have kids nor happiness. Sounds like all you both need to do is focus on having healthy kids. You don't throw away a Bentley because it has a dent. ..

My Wife Lied About Her Age

Four years ago at 35, I married my wife, who I thought was 35. We both wanted children, but unfortunately, she had miscarriage in the second year and stillbirth in the third year. We began consulting a fertility specialist.

After she started asking questions, my wife admitted she is actually eight years older than she had led me to believe. She's 47 years old! She's cried and cried, begging for my forgiveness.

She's gone to try fertility treatments to get pregnant, but I don't want her to continue that for health reasons. I have forgiven her but as an African man; I'm NOT willing to consider the adoption option. She says, of course, that she feared I would walk away if I knew the truth, but she must have known it would come out sometime, somehow. I think I still love her, she is really a wife material, respectful, lovable and very industrious lady but I feel so betrayed! Letting a husband believe you're years younger than you are with all the implications for child-bearing, is a grotesque deception. Sometimes, I'm always wondering if some things she says are the truth. Moreover, after all the wahala and years in-between, her beauty has really waned. She now looks old! We have become butts of joke from neighbours and even strangers when they see us walking together. I look way younger than she is.

I think of getting another wife, but that has not been my person. I think of divorce, but where do I start? Have I wasted 4 years of my life just like that? We still have faith that miracles do happen. Our pastor has asked me to forgive her and move on, that my ability to forgive her will make her more loyal and obedient to me. She is a naturally good person, but for this act of deception.

Maybe if my wife had been honest with me from the beginning, knowing her age I would have adjusted my planning and expectations for children. But she lied. Should I prove her right in her assumption that when I found out the truth, I would walk away? Any thoughts on helping us get through this? I have given all my resources to make this marriage work.

I need matured and sincere advice please!
follow ur mind.

Hmmm, if it's about children that one isn't a big deal especially if you are financially comfortable. You can get a surrogate so you'll still use your own sperm and your wives eggs and the child is all yours biologically just like any other child only it won't put undue stress on her due to her age. The truth is even many men with young wives still have to look for medical help concerning fertility.

That she's looking old hmmm, that one is harder . She can start seeing skin specialists and beauty experts to her her look as young and beautiful as possible but eventually old age will show but at least you can slow down how much it shows.

Now for me the main thing is the trust. That was a big lie shocked and honestly the whole foundation of the marriage is faulty. It's like getting scammed !

But as a Christian we know we all sin daily and God forgives us so yes you should forgive her. Now forgetting and learning to trust her is the real koko

Crap,they still have the chance of having children,that probably was what the lady was thinking hence why she lied and four solid years has gone by,the issue is not that of having children alone,the man wants a young and beautiful lady has the mother of his children,not outdated blood,from his write-up you can deduct that,he his being mocked for marrying his mother age mate...

Mehn, bros i feel your pain. KAI!!
But remember that it is not her age you fell in love with. You fell in love with her- her personality, her industriousness....infact everything about her. What she did was horrible, very horrible but we have all done things in our pasts that were horrible too. Granted, some of us were not forgiven but others were forgiven. She's your wife right now so you have to forgive her. There are things that you have done that she has forgiven too. Ma bi nu, biko nu.
God gives children. We have seen cases of 60 year olds who have given birth. Sarah was 90 when she birthed Isaac. Is there anything that God can not do? Please take this issue to God in prayer- both of you together.
But first before your prayers can be effective there has to be forgiveness. I'm not saying 'forgive and forget', all i'm saying is forgive. And you will see how God will take care of the rest. smiley

Mother's age mate ke? You don exaggerate the matter. Is your mother 7 years older than you? Because he told us that she was 7 years older. Are there not women who marry their father's best friends or men old enough to be their grandfathers? This age difference is very tiny compared to those ones.
Secondly when did he say that the woman is not the type he wants? Did you read his post at all? Did you not note what he spoke about her- "she is really a wife material, respectful, lovable and very industrious lady". Does this sound like a wife that any man would not want?

You mean I should not destroy the man happiness,the man was never happy,do you even know the stress family give you as man after getting married two years gone and nothing to show for it,I don't even need to talk too much,I pray the family get to know about this,they will deal with the situation the way I want the op to follow....

If the woman,can put herself before her husband happiness,then she is a devil...the man is being mocked,you are asking him to keep loving something he naturally won't want to like not to talk of love...being pinned down by an old-cargo can do result into many thing for the man,health wise and mental wise...divorcee the devil immediately

Re: My Wife Lied About Her Age, What Should I Do? by crisycent: 12:37am On Aug 21, 2015
I understand exactly what your going through. I was dating a girl a few years ago and she made me believe I was older and all that, I have always suspected because whenever we have issues, she handles it in a mature manner that after my outburst I feel like I'm childish. I always told her how happy I am that she's got a mature mind, I didn't know the maturity was as a result of her age.

On her national ID card, the last digit of the year of her birth was mysteriously damaged with a needle, you can't tell exactly what it is, that's to tell you the length she's gone to hide her age from me.

One day, she came back from service as she was serving in the north and left her nysc id in the car, I found out she was 2 years older than me. I felt used!!!!! For more than 3 months, I couldn't sleep with her because I thought she was using my blood to freshen up.

OP, this one wen u don marry I no know how to advise you o. You need a child, you are a man and can reproduce at anytime, be patient and be the reason her dream came true. I'm sure she's had horrible experience with other guys when she told them her real age. Take it easy bruv!
