Her's is different. Her's is pure lust.


I expected ninety-nine percent of guys here to conclude it was lust. When you don't know how to empathize with others you gleefully treat them with an iron fist.

My dear, marriage is all about discipline & contentment. If you leave your fiance, call off the wedding & go with the new guy, you'd always come across someone else you want in the course of your marriage & the cycle will repeat itself again.

You have a man you've been with for 5 years, you love him, until recently when things started to become a little sour- that's not a very big problem. Talk to him about it. Talk, talk & talk again. You both can even see a counsellor. I'm sure you'll both wade through it. Except of course, one of you is not totally into this.

Contentment & discipline is the key. Be contented with what you have.

Relationship is all about communication. Just try to talk it out wit ur man instead of u tinking abt dat came dat came out of nowhere.
Am married and we didn't court up to 1yr but we still live happily togeda and I LOVE HIM so very much.

FYI: am just 21 n my marriage is not up to a year.

So d key here is communication, patience and understanding. smiley wink

Im sure ur relation didnt court for 5yrs without major issues. Dont jst look at things frm d surface. Read what d op wrote again. Her only problem is dis normal last minute feet-dragging and a fresh feeling of love(lust) for some1 else, not some fundamental character flaw she found with her fiance. Truth is, it is easy to become bored in a lasting relationship. but my dear remain!!!

"Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety" (Proverbs 11:14).

Bored you said? My eldest sister courted for about a decade. She and her husband of today were so excited when their wedding was finally approved by my parents.

Sit there and be keep screaming "remain". I hope when issues surface tomorrow you won't come here to advocate divorce or separation.

Too many marriages are falling apart because people are constantly being encouraged and pressured to go ahead with weddings despite glaring signs of foreboding. Nobody wants them to talk about their fears and reservations.

Did you have doubts about your spouse before your wedding?

Did you meet someone amazing and you wanted him but decided to go ahead and marry your spouse?

How do you feel about the marriage now? Do you feel you did the right thing?

I'm in my mid 20s and I'm getting married next month, we've been together for almost 5years. He is the love of my life and I've never doubted my love for him or the fact that I wanted a family with him. He's got everything I want in a man.

The problem is we started having issues about 6 months ago, we stopped talking like before and we are completely disconnected now especially on my end but we're still going ahead with the marriage plan and I still want to marry him.

I met another guy I am really attracted to and we've been talking about a lot. He knows I am having issues with my man and I can't tell him we are planning to get married.

I'm having doubts about my man now, I'm confused, I feel I'll be happier with this new guy, I'm thinking it's lust but it's getting more complicated. Should I go on with the wedding?

Feel free to talk sense into my head, I need to hear hard truths.

First I would like to congratulate you for summoning courage, to pour out your mind to a public forum like this.

I am a man, and I would never deny the fact that all men have their different characters, I have being courting for like 7years now with my fiancée, who has offended me most of the time, but I never used that to change my attitude towards her, her birthday gift, christmas&new year gift is always constant even the phone she uses, I change it for her every 1year, I always do that on her birthday, not just small phones, I get her something bigger than the previous one, and it has been constant every year, not that she wants it or she's from a poor home, but I just try to do my best to make her happy, which she has been doing in return.

My advice as I have said earlier, every man has his own character, what gave you the assurance that the new guy you are talking about would not do the same or something even worst than that.

Please call your man, sit him down, cry, they are some men that are very emotional, just like me, pour out your mind, tell him what you want, let him realize what you are going through, he would definately change.

Why hide your marriage from the other guy, let him know you are getting married, and is not every guy you see you start telling your personal issue, am sure, that guy would be praying you guys break up so that he can get married to you.

I pray thing get better has you work down the aisle this weekend.

I want to disagree with you on this....This is just a case distraction, it happens to ALMOST everyone. I had a similar scenario few months to my wedding, i went ahead with my wedding and the lady i got attracted to also got married 4 months after...so its not an issue that requires a periscope...Just to add...Am now married for 5 years and i have not regretted it.

[b]ok my dear, open your ear and head and shut your senses completely from this guy you just met...ask yourself this question what if this temporary feeling you have for this new guy begin to deteriorat just as the one you had with your man you spent 5 years with? That means you are gonna be wasting 10 years and possible more unless you stick with your man and keep the fire burning just as when you guys started dating. The good thing is that you are admitting its your fault for not given your man the necessary attention. Firstly, If na jazz the new guy dey use for you you better go to the Lord in prayer before enemy of progress get hold of your life. Secondly, if na spiritual problem dey disturb you you better go for deliverance. On a final note, lust is temporal and leads to distruction while love is everlasting and leads to happiness. So
use your brain and choose which you will prefer.

If you truly love the man you are about to wed next month NO DEMON can make you shift your attention unless if the new man himself is a devils advocate, so my sister pack your slippers and tear race commot from the new guy and delete his number from your phone, you can politely tell him not to call your number again that your wedding is next month.

I don talk my own...you suppose pay me for this advice self.[/b]

To me I believe the Op is not mentally ripe for marriage and also maybe she's not ready yet for such commitment call marriage. She don't even know what she want yet and truly I really feel for the fiance. She's surely lusting after the new guy. My advice @ Op marriage is not meant for kids like u pls grow up before considering marriage again because clearly u are not ready mentally and otherwise. Men are truly in trouble with ur kind around. I really sorry for ur fiance he obviously don't deserve someone like u.

The nonentity might turn out to be Mr. right. I'm just saying..
She shouldn't ignore any signs. Staying with someone for five years isn't a guarantee just as knowing someone couple of months back isn't. Anyone can pretend for any length of time.

OP weigh both options. if need be, take time off the wedding planning, postpone and figure out what you really want. Marriage no be beans especially when you're going into it with doubts, that's alot of pending trouble.
"....Anyone can pretend for any length of time"....You mean someone can pretend to be what he/she is not for over 5yrscome on...that's bullpoo!

If you can keep away emotion for a while my advice will be as follows

Retreat: Stop talking to your new found love for a while,form busy. This will help the wine to clear for some time.
Pray: Talk to God about this
Dream: Paint your dream man and put down the qualities you need in a man.
Grade: Pick a pen and paper and write the names of these men. Grade them on these qualities and score. Keep away sentiments ooo
Discuss: Share with another person, an older married woman preferably.

NB: This second man is yet to proposed so do not conclude that he wants to marry you.
What is causing the communication barrier between you and your first man?


This is so on point .

Its very simple..You are not ready for marriage yet.Being with a guy for 100 years doesn't make you emotionally mature enough to handle the commitment of marriage.This is why I tell my friends I am not ready for marriage now.In your mid 20's you are still stuck up on the mills and boons inspired romantic fantasies of a 'perfect' man somewhere.My advice,call off the wedding.Anyways,I blame bellanaija weddings for making it look like getting married is all about the proposal drama,cute engagement ring and lavish wedding ceremony.Its not my dear..I am single but I can tell you authoritatively that marriage isn't as easy as its cracked up to be.It takes work,a total decision to stick with your partner and guidance from God.just face it,have you asked yourself why you even accepted his proposal?Is it because you have dated for 5 years and its only natural to get married?Or maybe because he is ripe for marriage ie has a job,his own apartment and the whole nine.Personally I don't think you even know the meaning of commitment.Its sticking to a person,through great and not so great times..Be honest,you stopped loving your fiance a very long time ago.If not,chance no go dey to even meet the new guy.I am in a relationship,and I keep just platonic male frnds that I discuss my career with.No time to waste in smiling over a guy saying 'good morning beautiful' and other sweet rubbish to me.Not when I have a committed relationship relationship.You created the allowance in your heart to fall for the new guy.Biko,I repeat you are not ready for marriage.I see you to be a lady who wants fun,experience and the thrill of being with other guys.Please do that if it would hit you with a healthy dose of reality.All this advice will not sink in cos deep down you want to be with the new guy.Even your fiance is tired too..a man that can go a week ..then 3 months without calling you simply doesn't love you!!!That's a fact.Just do what would make you happy.That's what counts.Sometimes you'll win,sometimes you'll lose.But more importantly you'll learn!
You must have gotten a lot of experience to be this wise. I'm amazed people like you still exist. Girls like to play smart and keep admirers as 'options' so they will see a man to fall on when their relationship falls. They fail to realize relationship is all about risks, that one day they may fall into temptation with one of the 'options'

Now lemme tell you marriage is not as romantic as dating,for the fact that you dated him for five years of cos it won't b as spicy as it was at the beginning which is normal,u̶̲̥̅̊ ve sin his bad and good syd.This guy u̶̲̥̅̊ just met do u̶̲̥̅̊ knw his last name?is it because he z richer of month gudluking.The worse part is when you find out he z ūя̲̅ husbands friend and this is just a test you re already failing.OMG!

Little doubts days, weeks or a month b4 wedding is quite normal... but big doubts, disconnection and less communication is not normal..you might have all these because of the new guy you just met...talk to your Old guy, try figure where things went wrong, he just might feel the same way as you do n it will be easier to end it now....or you can Find out what happened n fix it

Did you not read the part where she admitted she is the reason behind the disconnection? As long as her husband to be has not shown any sign of disconnection she should not even bring the matter up with him cuz the outcome could be more diverstating, she is the problem here not the husband to be or the new guy, her head is so messed up she needs to visit a carpenter so that several planks can be administered to her head.
