I hope you'll learn to see that he's really not into you like that. A man who hasn't made plans to leave and cleave definitely has no business getting married. That he is 31 doesn't mean he's ready. You cook and tend to his family whenever you are around them, right? You'll do worse when you get married. You'll become head chef and senior nanny to his siblings and aging Grandmother.
Singles with advice...lol
Have a serious discussion with him, tell him to give you a time, set your own time too since you're the one whom the shoes hurts. If he still shows signs of unseriousness and unwillingness, then I see no reason why you shouldn't start extending your search outside. This is your future. Don't ruin it. The partner you marry is liable to make or mar you.

In the end, it's all your brunt to bear. Choose wisely now to avoid coming to the front page of Nairaland tomorrow seeking for marital advice.

Ladies, even if you date a douchebag, please endeavor not to marry that douchebag. Please, see it as an importance to marry a man that has sense. You're Queens and Queens do not eat debris nor settle for less. kiss

Thread wisely and carefully. smiley

In addition to chef and nanny, she would also be housekeeper, dishwasher, errand girl and mai ruwa (in case there's no running water there). How can a young girl open her eyes and jump into a relationship with a man with this kind of family baggage on his shoulder? Even if he eventually marries her and moves away from that family house, his siblings will still continue to pile up demands on him and if he's unable meet the demands, she will be blamed and resented.

She's lucky she's got age on her side, unfortunately she may have gotten pregnant. If I were her, I'd pawn off that ring to those aboki gold buyers in Yaba market and flee from marrying into such family.

True talk. I am experiencing something similar, though in my own case, no relative of his was staying with him when we got married, but he practically is their Vault. Long story short, ten years down the line, it didn't get any better but worsened. And guess what, my own needs and children's needs have never been his calls.

My point exactly, ruuuuunnnnn. It will only get worse by the time you marry him cause two things are likely to play out - either he ignores you (as it turned out in my case) or you make unnecessary enemies cause he doesn't meet their demands. I truly wish you are not pregnant already.

A stitch in time saves nine.

HelloHolla:
Good evening everyone, I've been a guest for quite a while, created an account cause I need advice from the audience.

How long should an engagement ring be worn for? I've been engaged since last year May (dated for 4yrs), my Fiance hasn't talked about proceeding to do introduction or marriage, it's like he just proposed to me because he felt like.

This man has refused to be on his own, his Grandma and 5 siblings (younger and older) live with him and he takes responsibility for them all, two of his siblings living with him also have their partners living with them. It's only a 3 bedroom flat. I feel like quitting the whole thing cause I don't feel comfortable going to his house. When I do, he wants me to cook for everyone which gets me strained.

With the look of things, he has no plans of moving out for them cause he rented the apartment, neither do they have intentions of moving out on their own, it's more like a family house. My period is two days late and I'm scared to the marrow.

Please advice me on what to do cause I can't live with him if they're still there after marriage, he's not even talking about marriage, I've not asked him yet so as not to sound desperate but why propose if you don't have plans of doing the next thing after a max of 6 months?

He's 31 and I'm 24

Thanks.

hmmm... Babe you'll have to talk with him o. In your best moods and in the most polite way, ask him what his plans are for the both of you and let him know your concerns too. I understand how frustrating it can be with everyone around and the feeling of time passing by but you still have to respect the relationship he has with his folks and that's why I suggest you talk about it with him in the most polite manner.

Before you do this, try and activate your understanding mood o, your understanding might just be all he needs

Give him money to rent another apartment if you can't cope with him and his family in the same building.

Or better still, give him money for wedding expenses if you can't wait or exercise some patients till he's ready for wedding!

You are 24!
-Do you work?
-Are you a student?
-Are you learning any skill?
-Do you have any meaningful thing to boast of?

Who and what are you exactly to the society and what exactly are you impacting in his life to warrant such thoughts of pressurizing him into sending his families out and marrying you as soon as possible!!

Smh! Keep fvckin him with reckless abandon, until you get pregnant, then will you understand the gravity of your fvckery!!

No use your head now wey you young!

You no get goals or ambitions?
You act too desperate for a 24 year old.

There's nothing desperate about a 24 year old who wishes to settle down. Is it better to be f*cking or jumping from one relationship to the other until she's 30? Everyone's got their priorities and how they've planned their lives. It may not be as you've planned yours, but in this very case, you're in no place to criticise.

Goals and ambitions? What's to say she's not already living out her goals?

The ilks who liked your post are obviously your flocks. I see how much they've influenced you since you've dated quality women.

I don't have anything to say to you, but I'll rather just hope that I never come across men like you in my life. smiley

You're a total waste of time.

You know, I now understand that most of the female folk are perpetually dumb.

Because I don't see anything wrong with what the dude above said.

All females care about is marriage.
Heck, if the Op had a career or has career plans, I don't think there will be an issue.
A little chat and financial support from her, they move into another apartment!!

But no, she has no career or career plans. Which is why she's here wailing over a guy working real to keep his bloodline afloat.
Well if she's desperate, she should leave him and wait for someone that is supposedly better.

Females!!!

Once engaged both of you should immediately agree on the earliest possible date for the wedding. If he cannot agree to an early enough date for your liking, you can give him a 1 month ultimatum to reconsider and compromise after which time you can break off the engagement.

Married people don't read and travel and build careers? A 24-year old damn well knows what's good for her. She didn't ask you for advice as to whether or not she should get married.

U have to be able to talk to him in a way that doesnt make u look like an enemy of the family, 4yrs and 1yr of engagement is enough for u to want to know your fate, and your feelings are very valid ones, but u need a very simple n understanding way to approach this, cuz family issues like this can be toxic on a new marriage, u may have to just walk away for sanity sake so u dont b the bad person. If its already making u unhappy now it would b worse later.
