many wil tel her such, including me..... he does not want a suitation whereby she wil fall in luv wit anoda guy in d course of her studying.... after spending enof to fund her education, he w now bit his fingers in regret..... d guy round it up bfor he loses her to sum1 else
this is exactly what I think. Personally, I won't have nothing to do with a woman who is still schooling after everything I witnessed in my UNI days. A lot married women were there having open affairs because their husbands are living in another cities. How much more an ordinary fiance? My friend was hustling and sponsoring his fiance in school while the babe was sleeping with her school mates until the guy found out. He regretted so much. I won't even advice anyman to get involved with a female student unless she goes to school from home. Some will still get a boyfriend there. Its really scary and I don't blame the guy in this story.
What the girl is supposed to do is to get married to him and later continue with her education. Its that simple!

The guy is getting old and wants to marry. So I don't see any reason why this girl will want him to wait more years. But, on the course of doing her masters while the guy is waiting, she'll be getting older and may even not look attractive anymore to the guy hence, he may dump her along the line. She's 27 already. Time waits not for women. Make she no go reach the point where she will want to marry anything at all at all. Most of the women spewing gabage here will quit their masters pursuit and marry the guy immediately. He works in oil company and well paid- he's hot cake!!!

What a condition. angry

She should dump his sorry ass and pursue her career/masters.

Relationship and men/women can wait but career-pursuit waits for no one. Earlier the better.

Should she succeed tomorrow drones of guys will be wrestling to win her love.

Who love don help
.

Well, marriage/love has helped millions of women. Since eternity.
What guarantee is there to land a good job with her Master's later?

Not all women with successful careers also succeed in love/marriage.

It depends on her. If at 27 she feels marriage can wait or she can live with just a successful career if needs be, no problem.

I think discussing with the guy about starting her part-time PG in say 2 or 3 years would be an option. If the guy believes FE is no option, then she has to choose.
She might even land a good job in the next 2 or 3 years without PG.

If there is anything I have learnt, it is that, when your family member (especially a praying one) objects to your choice of partner, it is extremely delicate and should be treated with utmost caution. If your mum says she doesnt see the guy as your future partner, i'd say pray but trust me, he's not gonna be your future partner.
You are not stranded! You have a choice to further your studies, go for it even if you want to be with the guy, he'd allow you to go and come back. So take your masters with both hands....God has a plan for you already.

Honesty I think the only reason this is conflicting for her is the fact that her mum said he is not the will of God for her. I hate it when mothers get in the way using religious sentiments. She should be able to make decisions based on her own choice.

Yes, I am one of those super ambitious ladies and I understand how she wants to make her own money and be independent, but getting a masters degree does not in anyway guarantee she'd get a decent job immediately, talk-less that dream job. And besides if she really wants to get a masters degree, can't she do so after her wedding? I'm sure that's the reason the man gave her an ultimatum and not because he doesn't want her to further her education.

Then again, getting married to a man who works in an oil company may be all she needs to get that dream job, even without a masters degree, as she would get to meet her husband's friends and colleagues who have the connections to get her one. You know how it is about getting jobs in Nigeria

People should stop blaming the man as I do not see him as one who is controlling and doesn't want the best for his woman. At 27, the lady is still very immature when it comes to decision making. She knows what she wants but doesn't known how to set her priorities wisely

I am a well educated professional in the same field with my wife. We both have advanced degrees. I have 4 daughters who are all smart and have high asppirations. I am sorry to say that I do not believe that any man who is willing to derail your pursuit for higher education truly loves you. He should embrace your interest in undertaking a masters degree.
Now let me tell you what I tell my girls on daily basis ; 'that man is only interested in you today because of what you have done for yourself". If you were a secondary school drop out, he will not be interested in you.
Intellectual and financial freedom is the only way a woman can protect herself from abuse from men (husband included). You can not give your husband absolute power over you, and you do so be denying yourself these two important survival tools in the modern world.
Honestly I can not understand why a successful like he is will think of not encouraging a future partner (note"partner"wink to pursue higher education, unless he intends to dominate her. I am very worried that he is giving you the option to choose between your education and him. Mark my words, this is the begining of the many of such ultimatums to come[/b].

How do you know the will of God? let me tell you, its your inner voice talking to you with conviction. At this stage of your life, you are solely responsible for your actions and innactions.

In this case, you are the only person that is right.

He has no right to stop you from furthering your education, UNLESS of course if he is the one going to be responsible for the financial aspect of it. If so, he has right to choose where his money goes.

But if your parents are going to finance you, then don't let anyone hinder you. If the guy is serious about you he'll wait till you finish before wedding comes or marry you (if you wish) while you pursue your educational dream. Although marraige can distract you in school if you have a j*erk as a husband. I know many women and men who got their degrees while married.

A man can come into your life and leave anytime, but your education stays in you throughout your life. If you were my sister, I would tell you to "dump his a*ss". There's are many of men who will appreciate you. Nobody has only one potential match. In fact, we all have thousands of potential life partners. 90% of people who are married, didn't marry their first choice.

Your mum or anyone can't choose a man (you're going to spend the rest of your life with) for you. And don't let anyone force you into marriage! Cut the church or god crap! Do what you must do by yourself for yourself. Do NOW what you know will make you happy in FUTURE.

I guess you're educated. You should know better.
Re: I Am Torn Between HIM And Masters Degree by Nuzo1(m): 4:56am On Apr 03, 2015
Seems you are only afraid of losing the guy cos he works in an oil company. I understand, but sometimes we are too afraid to lose something that we forget that there are better options by the side.

But how does getting married stop a lady from running a part-time masters program?
Re: I Am Torn Between HIM And Masters Degree by drehdinho(m): 5:08am On Apr 03, 2015
I'm very sure that the lady in question had long decided what to do before now. She only wants to know the numbers of people in support of what she had done in order to clear any form of doubt in her mind. Psychologically, a lady in her marriageable age will do anything to get hooked to a man as soon as possible ,even if it means she has to start building up things with him from the scratch. But on the other hand, Getting a man who is already made,will be the best option the world can offer any lady. And that's what most ladies pray for. And the lady in question here has got it, so what's the need for the rhetorical question hun!

Hopefully true. Then d change does not require a folder full of degrees before it gives one a job.
If she's convinced w/o a doubt and has gotten PERSONAL spiritual clearance, she shd go ahead and marry him. After May 29th, a BSc or it equivalent shd get her(and anybody) a job in our CHANGED Nigeria

There is no issue here go and do your masters programme now! You may never have the chance again. If he wants to leave let him go forget about the money he has now think about the fact that u would want to be a wife to a loving caring and understanding man not a slave to money and moreover very soon ur CV will be more attractive and who says u can't boss him someday...if he really loves u he will support u as long as u on ur part will be true and faithful to him even while running ur program.

Can u kindly tell us who told her Mam d man to marry? Most mums, after making d wrong choices in marriage, want to vicariously correct their lives' mistakes in d lives of their children. And would go any length to scare them (will of God, i had this and that dream/ revelalation just) to live out the lives they (the mums) fantasized about but couldn't live.

...I deliberately refused to talk about the fiancee. Mother's counsels are golden,no matter their misguided lifestyle. I refer to her acquiring her Master degree because her getting a Master degree supersede the description of the said fiancee.wish her well...
Re: I Am Torn Between HIM And Masters Degree by golddeejay(m): 5:42am On Apr 03, 2015
this is nt even worth dabating over if they love each other. Even undergraduates are getting married with no stress. U guys can eat ur cake and have it at d same time. Go for ur masters and still get married. You need to communicate better. To me, if u really love each oda, then this is no issue. Or does he wants u as a full housewife before? The only problem is if ur programme is outside the country or very far.

Re: I Am Torn Between HIM And Masters Degree by Nobody: 5:49am On Apr 03, 2015
A fiance already giving you ultimatum before marriage? *scratches head*
This is a huge red flag already. What stops him from doing some traditional rites to secure you first, then allow you to travel. I don't think this situation should be a problem for him, except he has some bad domineering traits . Please listen to your mother, if she is weary of him already, then there may be problem with this choice of partner as I believe mothers are happy when their daughters have suitors.Please further your education, don't rush to marry this guy.
