Family section's master of mixed and extended metaphors.

You know Aristotle once said that the greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor.

I admire your wordcraft, even though you are still a tad cynical about my identity.

Thanks..

My girl agreed to marry a guy that the dad introduced to her and made sure she no other guy came close to her and it was easy doing cause she loves been indoors.. the guy travelled and he stopped communicating with my girl but he kept reaching out to her father once in awhile, so she felt the guy wasn't interested anymore and after we met, we kicked it off... everything has been amazing till the dad reminded her the boy is coming back soon and he will like to get married, she cried and met me, I comforted her and told her to do what she wants and she said it's me and I told her I will never stop loving her.. immediately she went and broke up with the guy officially.. our love kept growing strong till I travelled and we communicated every single day then I reminded her I was still coming to marry her very soon that distance didn't change my plans. I planned giving her a surprise engagement the next year and kick of our marriage plan but only for me to hear the boy is back and the dad is insisting that it must be the guy, that she gave her word and the boy's family knows already bout the marriage... my girl's mum knows me and loves me but her dad doesn't wanna know anything bout me... she's been begging for them to let her marry me but the dad kept refusing that he has already given his word to the other family, that it would be a disgrace to go against it... my girl is scared cos when her dad says no he doesn't go back, she said she's so scared of letting the best man that she has ever met cos she knows her strong willed her dad could be and she said he's ready to refuse me if she refuse that guy... I'm scared too cos I don't wanna loose her...

If anyone were to give you a counsel of perfection, it would be that you forbear marriage until a later date.

I know there isn't a specific age for marriage, and that it's legal insofar as the 18-year pass mark has been met, but come on, girl...Don't you think at twenty-two that you ought to be flapping your wings at life's entreaties and exploring it to the fullest? – something which a newly-acquired marital status might deny you.

You would also have the opportunity of running through life's flames and learning wisdom from its heat – and you sure won't - like many others have - waddle to Nairaland's family section for help the minute your marriage feels the mild nudge of a turbulence, because unlike those who tied the knot in their callow youth, you would be armed to the teeth with an arsenal of experience.

I would advise that you rethink your decision, and ask that he bide his time until you clock twenty-five. If he truly loves you and if what he feels for you isn't some transient Squirrel fever, then I'm sure he should be able to delay plighting the troth for some three more years.



Is he Ijebu?

You are a woman, use seduction and feminine wiles to get to the bottom of his purse.

If the reason really is because he doesn't think you're seriously in need, then the next time you ask him for help, your face had better be a dreary halloween mask of solemnity.

As earlier said, you are but twenty-two years old; you have a whole life ahead of you, and if you feel your Bf has become a dead weight and you're unsure about him, then there's absolutely nothing stopping you from putting an end to the relationship. He's just one out of the billions of men on Mother earth.
