I enjoyed reading the list. I think it's an ok checklist of things to do. With a lil tweaking here and there for specific situations it should be a spring board for healthy man-woman love relationships.

No one should be indespensable of another regards your list above, when neccessary why not, but as much as we don't see it as an obligations

In some cases i don't agree without you

Ecsorting you on travels and wedding, have you thought if he has his own personal engagement?? only if it pleases him.

Taking me and my girlsfriends out, a girlfriend and not girlfriend(s), well he if wishes but am not going to impose that on him or make it an issue, and as much she is a trusted gf and not the type willing to share him with me behind my back.

@michellin

I don miss u small o, though no be much, i no fit lie u

You made g8 points, but a bit harsh in trying to drive ur points home,as if others were all that matters in a relationship

The impact we leave in the live of eachother is priceless than all other bru=ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaas

I think it should be an obligation. Of course I dont expect him to leave a serious engagement to follow me to my friend's B/day party, I wont do that for him either, but if he's free, he's obliged to go with me . . . . he shouldnt complain when I go with someone else.

Nothing is being imposed on anybody, but if you want to make your partnet happy, you should be able to go out of your way once in a while!! Even though most guys are jerks, some of them still deserve the best! cheesy

my duty as a b/f to , love,cherish,respect,provide,protect. all this we can do, all this we will do;if u ladies can reciprocate its not a bad idea .
Re: Your Duty As Someone's Boyfriend Or Girlfriend? by Sagamite(m): 2:16pm On Sep 16, 2009
Although I don't agree with some of your expectations but I would still say you try and a bit reasonable.

That is what I like about most Nigerian-raised girls, if it was a western-raised girl, it is most likely going to be:

For a guy, these are the things he would expect from a GF.
1. Have sex: She should have sex with him when she is Hot or if he is good at it.
2. Help with his Laundry: Okay, that’s a no-go area for most girls but the truth is that, guys expect it. She would help with the washing by chucking it into the washing machine but he has to iron it himself.

As a girl, these are the things I expect from my BF.

1. Handy-man: Okay the word’s a bit derogatory, but if I have a BF, he should be there to fix my things. Electrical faults, plumbing, household appliances and even my car. Even if I have to pay for it, he should be the one to take it to the electrician/mechanic and make sure it gets fixed! If I have to travel a far distance, he should be ready to drive me, if I have a flat tire, he should be ready to change it and get it fixed. Infact, if I need anything done, he should get it done. That’s why we really hare their numbers on speed dial :d
2. My escort: Well I can’t go for that wedding/ Party alone! He has to come with me.
3. My protector: Okay, before you say another word to me, I’ll have you know that I have a BF :d I actually let a guy go cos he let someone else toast me while I was with him. Before you talk to me, you think of what my BF will do to you!
4. Money: I know you guys don’t want to hear this but it’s the fact! My BF (poorer or richer than I am) pays for my hair and my clothes. Now I don’t expect him to take up totally financial responsibility of me, but if I’m throwing my B/day party, he shd pay for it or at least pay for most of it. He should at least once in a very blue moon, take me and my ladies out! He should pay for some lil things that I need and he should contribute, no matter how small, in anything I do!!
5. Call me: Now this is a very tick one. If I have a BF, he should be the one calling more often. No matter how busy he is. He should call and check up on me while I’m at work, he should call me when I’m sick, he should call me when he wakes up in the morning and before he sleeps at night. . .  cos I’ll expect him to!
6. Be with me: It’s not just the guys that want sex, we want it too. We also love the feeling of curling up in his arms all night long. We love company, we love knowing he’s there!!
7. Help me make meals: Even if he doesn’t know how to cook, he should ensure he always help 50:50 in making food to eat. Either by making him cook and store or by getting a cook for me. Either way, our feeding should be 50:50. Of course the guy does the funding!!
8. Help me should keep his house clean: Now I know this is hard for most guys to understand but a girl needs a clean guy. So highlight where is dirty for him.
9. Praise me: Tell me I am the most fantastic girlfriend ever and there is no other girl like me.

I want you to expunge the word, 'obligation'. He's not obliged to go with you even if all he has to do tha day is play video games instead of going with you. So if he doesn't go with you, you'll go with someone else -- a guy I suppose?

I hope you won't mind if he decides to go somewhere with another girl too. I think it'd be a matter of choice but should NEVER be an obligation.

I insist on the word obliged!! I think the whole point is that you should be willing to make her happy. If that's what she wants, you should be ready to do it.

And yes if you dont, I'll go with someone else, a guy!! Cos if my BF prefers to stay home and plya video game when I need him by my side, then he doesent deserve me does he? Its not just a matter of choice, its a matter of going out of your way for someone.

@the seeker

u hit d nail on d head, way 2 go, !!!

@post

ermmm, nyc points,although i disagree wiv som,

on d side of wat gurls hv 2 do for guys,i think points 1-4 shuldnt be like a DUTY or BY FORCE, naturally,,a gurl should help cook,clean and stuff but abeg,if your gurl is busy or for guys dat dont even hv babes,wat happens?abi,wont guys eat,do thier laundry or keeep their houses clean without gurls??and BDW,i cant date a guy who isnt mature enuf to take care of himself by himself.
sha,i dnt mind hostin his friends sha,but its definitely nt goin to b evrytyme his friends com around, its evn more okay if the friends in question r also my friends, NO WAHALA at alll,

on d side of wat guys hv to do 4 gurls,
for 1,, hellll yeah!!!!!my guy has to do those tins, nyce point uju
for 2 and 3, welll,ok.not dat necessary thou esp for d escort part
for 4,, ermmmmm, he doesnt need to provide d MONEY for my hair,clothings and all wat not, ill handle my bills by myself, if he gives me money to do some stuff,i will take but i wont ask, ill onli ask if i dnt hv d money,and evn den,this rarely happens,
for 5,, yes o!!!he has to call,esp we he wake s up, b4 goin to bed and wen at work, i love calls,

She comes across as a western-raised girl.

So it is not duty and by force to cook and clean etc for the guy but it is duty and by force to be handyman and protector to her.

Ditto for the ladies
