Let me reiterate that the world would be brought to an end following the excesses of women..... The new dimension adopted by today's women to show nude is really going to be the call for the end... ...

Ehen! 200k for a intimacy gadget... Na wa o shocked

This sex matter is a lot more serious than I imagined.

To the side note, 'elder' and 'night club' should not be in the same sentence. It's an oxymoron cheesy
grin

What I found out recently is that anything is available on the streets in this country for your convenience if u really seek it out.


As to your last sentence, why do you think they built the Nite club close to a hospital? grin grin grin

Like a plastic puzzay/inflatable doll kinda toy? Do we even have those in Nigeria?

I doubt the man will go for that option. The warmth of living flesh cannot be compared to cold, artificial rubber
@bolded, yes we do. Cost ranges from 25,000 to 200k (the more expensive ones have warmers in thier 'puzzays' to simulate the real thing wink)

A man of that generation might be averse to such practice though. He'll most likely seek younger blood if he's the worldly type or turn to prayer and meditation for succour.

On a side note, I know of an elders night club just opposite the gates of UCH. Minimum age of entry for females is 40, males 50, and the songs there go back as far as Nat King Kole hits. Our man might find something interesting there grin

TV01:
Sup' Sir? Tricky one huh?

The person described in the OP seemingly has a number of issues;

1. A bad character,including lying, deceit, nagging and unforgiving
2. A spousal abuser, who is suspicious and has questionable self-worth
3. Stark religious difference
4. He is also piss-poor

The couple is also living apart. Even if he had super-swimmers, becoming pregnant would still require a miracle of sorts. Sort out all the underlying personal issues, and then, or at once get help for the relatively minor health problems.

To restore this union you need to re-set the foundations. You'll need a sincere and committed heart and everything at your disposal - personal qualities, family and faith. I sincerely hope you have the God of the Bible as your Buckler. All the very best.

Wannaweds, if you have any understanding, you'll go into courtship with high expectations and a clear vision, then ensure you are there, or very close ahead of marriage. Anything less is to court disaster If you are really smart you'll go with God.

Marriage is best avoided by mis-informed people,ill-informed minds or de-formed characters.

So sad.

Disaster.

You're right.If the technique is poor,it can lead to frustration on the part of women.
I've heard quite a number of women who say they help themselves(not cheating).That's why romance machines are getting good sales.
Lol@romance machines. They are getting good sales cos women tell them exactly what they want without fear or embarrassment.

The woman wasn't present but i asked the husband if she had seen a gynaecologist and he said no.
I suspect it's a combination of having a low sex drive and getting unsatisfactory performance from her husband.
Very true.
You know when these women hit menopause a lot of them experience drying of the vaginal mucosal and hence more lubrication is needed to enjoy sex. If oga is a wham-bam-thankyou ma'm kind of guy, sex will become pain for her instead of pleasure. I think a good sexual therapy session will help in this case.

I had a client today at work who came for some treatment.One thing led to the other and I asked him about his sexual life.He said, well that aspect has issues.I asked him how and he said his wife no longer sleeps with him.
One day the wife said she was no longer having sex,that she is retired.She says she's a grandmother now and sees no reason to still,'raise her legs up'.He told me it was a serious issue that he reported to the church elders and she was summoned.Right in their midst,she still insisted she was no longer interested and he was free to find a way to take care of himself.

So guys(well men don't retire,i would have asked the ladies),what happens if someday,your wife says she's done with sex?

*by the way the couple are in their early 50s.
Oga thorpido what was your advice? Did you dismiss them cos thier an elderly couple, or did u ask for hormone assay for the woman? The issue might actually be medical, u know.

Let her do oestrogen /progesterone, ask about hot flushes, give her evening primrose, get a female doctor (who has an open mind o) to talk to her about her sexual health concerns. A depth of treasure could be found if u dig deeper.

When a player retires, the club simply sings a new and younger player as replacement! Or take the player on loan.

If he can't permanently remarry a new damsel, he should just have one unilag babe outside that will be doing the sumtin for him.

@iamnotalone,

So I went through all your threads and posts and came to a simple conclusion.
Don't marry this man.
You are not matured for marriage yet. It's not him, its you. And thats not a bad thing. With time u will grow and find someone u love and cherish, but right now your feelings are fickle. If u marry this guy Now and anything goes wrong u will continue to blame him for it. Let him go pls.

shrtermjbseeker:
what happened was that it was no more wishful thinking. I got pregnant and had a child and saw the difference between "theory and practical".
My sister had the same issue. She had agreed on four kids with her husband but after the birth of her first child it all changed. She said when she went through the pains of labour (hers was prolonged) and she saw the head of the baby 'pop' out of 'that place', something changed inside her. grin

Then the sleepless nights and breastfeeding and constant running up and down and barely having a moment's privacy where she could just be alone by herself... It wasn't at all what she had imagined.

She started saying she only wanted one more kid (she had a girl the first time and wanted to balance the equation with a boy) and this caused no small rift between her and her husband. At the end of the day though he let her be after our mom advised him that it was a phase and she would get over it. Their second child came two years and 9months later and she's become a pro with taking care of babies and is currently pregnant with the third. In fact she insists on knacking the four out and it's her husband that is reluctant considering the buhari situation grin

The thing about this life, nothing is written on stone. Don't think you are going to feel this way forever. The fact that you are feeling guilty about it shows its not something u are comfortable with. I think you should focus more on taking care of your kid, take time to make your husband understand how you feel so he doesn't pressure u, also really take a hard look at your fears and realise they are not rational (you already said u loved kids and adore your son, so there's no reason not to be a good mother) and give yourself time. From my experience you'll be the one clamouring for a girl soon enough since they say it's girl children that take care of thier parents. grin.

You only become a bad mother when u abandon your kids and place your selfish interests before thiers. As long as you're not deliberately doing this, you'll be OK. No one has all the answers, we all learn as we move along through life.

Cheers.

Hahahaha, tired of correcting already?
The original poster, who knows her post better than you does not see problem. But Oga, who seems to understand the motive behind the post better than the poster cannot seems to get that I chose to talk about 1 part of the post only and insists that I did not understand the post because it isn't in line with his own understanding.
grin grin
If indeed u originally chose to talk on only 1 part of the post then no problem, we are both on the same page. However your original response shows u didn't read the Op deep enough to understand that there was more than the issue of time at stake.

In fact, you are the best kind of parent. The kind that thinks and plans for the future before having a kid. If you feel you won't have the resources to raise another kid, then it is perfectly fine to have just one kid.
On what premise do you make this assumption@bold? All u saw in her post was that she didn't have enough time and u used it to judge her whole character. Even she admitted that you only touched on part of the question. All I asked u to do was consider there were other aspects to her story and u lost sleep over it.

Me, tired?

I had a good night's sleep. Did you?

elektra:
Well, you are not a bad person for that. Raising a child takes a lot out of a person, if you feel that you can't do it for whatever reason, then you might want to communicate that to your spouse and reach an agreement.

On a different note. 5minsmadness, the original poster does not seem to have a problem with my understanding of her post.
My dear you were wrong. She answered u out of pity/sympathy. Her response of "that's part of it too" shows that, like I indicated, you weren't getting the whole picture.

Let it go already.

Have I bruised your ego somehow? You misunderstood the write-up, that's all. Your opinion is not under question here, your understanding of the opening post is.

Anyway na una know. I know when I go I'd save my family the pain of grieving; it's what one sees they can cry over. A good organ sale, cremation and spread of my ashes is a very good way to forget my existence almost completely. My death should not actively weigh down anyone's life -- life is for the living only.

@bolded, nice way to psychologically cushion us for the 'bad news', lol. If u believe all u have stated in the bold and yet don't want more kids then there is a serious underlying problem. It doesn't have anything to do with wether u are a bad person or not.

What happened in the time between when u wanted three kids to when u r satisfied with just this one? Something traumatic/deeply worrying happened, no matter how little, what was it?

You sound like u might be having anxiety issues.
