There’s a woman in my COMPOUND, she’s 33 and insists she doesn’t want children because she has “no maternal desires.”

She got a puppy, has birthday parties for the dog, claims the dog experiences child phases, and cooks meals for the dog every day.

Gonna be sad when the dog dies.
All this doesn't matter...

The real question is,
Is she presently having any romantic "long-term" relationship with a human being of the opposite sex?

The answer to the above is what will determine the true nature of her problem.

Not invalidating your points but guys get this same problems in African homes too, but sincerely adulthood is a scam because at the end of the day you get to pay so many bills in your own house that you start to ask yourself if its even worth the freedom.

Lol cheesy I absolutely love my power of choice and love living life on my terms right now.

Growing up the rules at home, school, church and every where you go just seemed suffocating to me.

As a young girl I honestly looked forward to a time when I will have autonomy in my life to make my own rules and break free of the suffocating ones. Right now I'm doing this and liking it, for instance on weekends if I wake up and feel like doing nothing, I decide to be lazy that whole day just binging on movies, snacks and sleeping, the next day I do all the chores I put off in favour of a lazy day.

No one is compelling me to join morning devotions, no kids shouting mummy I am hungry and making me cook breakfast when I would rather stay in bed and read a novel or watch a movie. A responsible single life with money to pay your bills is sweet abeg, I'm not in a hurry to lose it.

She needs to be counselled

Assuming she is a virgin it's a different thing all together

They gave birth to her, she should try and give birth to another because of old age

Is good she has a dog but dogs are not communicating like real humans

She will end up with a lonely life and that's when people will desert her

Though it's not a must to get married but she has to try and have a child

No, it's not, and no one should pressure a woman to get married if it's not wanted. There are women who don't care for it and don't want kids either, believe it or not. They're not anomalies but simply exercising their autonomies.


Oizee:
compulsory ke? marriage is a choice, having kids or rearing animals is also a choice

It's her choice. And that's very personal to her because she's happy and derive joy in her decision. It's not a must anybody should marry.

She's made her choice. Leave her with her choice. There's nothing to worry about concerning her.

1. She has no maternal desires but 'nurses' a puppy?

2. It's not compulsory to get married and have children though.It's all about choice.

2. True, as far as the person steers clear from fornication.

How can you say it's not a command? Then what does the statement "go into the world and multiply" mean? Is it not a command? Also, it was God who instituted marriage. So??

Your last paragraph was according to apostle Paul and the same Paul made us to understand the commands that are his and the ones made by God at every point.

Multiplication is not only for children.

Marriage is not 'compulsory' that singlehood is an outright sin.

However, only very very very few people can be single without sinning or without needing the support that marriage brings cheesy grin

Not everyone is a Christian, I think that is something you believers forget all the time. To these people, sex is just a human urge that should be satisfied as at when due. Anyway, I believe your post is for believers, not antichrist like us. smiley

OP, I can’t think of anything in this life that is COMPULSORY, definitely not a variable like marriage. You only deal with the cause and effect of your actions.

I like having the ability to pay those bills through honest means and not relying on others to do so. If I'm getting value for my money, paying up doesn't bother me one bit.

There are men and women like her. Some just don't like the responsibility that comes with getting married. It's even worse when you discover you married someone you can't tolerate.

She should live her best life cause we have only one life.

Women are happier without getting married or having kids.

All those who think a woman should tie the knot before a certain age as marriage makes her life better, now even science has evidence to prove them wrong.

A study has indicated that single women are happier than their married counterparts.

Lol grin, abeg be serious na! I thought you were catholic sef seeing as most Igbos I know are either catholics or anglicans.

Denomination doesn't matter to me at all, I just honestly assumed you were of the christian faith. No sermon or judgment from me, if you're not. I'll only be surprised that's all.

Yea, especially Imo and Anambra. Anambra is more of Catholic and Imo is Anglican. These two states are predominantly into orthodox churches.

I am not a scripture adherent, but I respect Christians who do and I am sure they are not up to 0.2% in Nigeria. lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

You're just determined to be a jackass cheesy. What do you mean by I am not a scripture adherent?

I do not 100% adhere to the scriptures all the time, but I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe;

1. He is very real and very true.
2. He is the son of God and God Almighty as well.
3. His sacrifice on the cross is the one and only sacrifice that makes me right with God.
4. He is my way, my truth and my life and more......

So, what does that make me? A believer or an unbeliever? You just wan use grammar, plus poco parables confuse person this night, abeg swerve one side I dey go sleep.

Oya go sleep, semi-believer. If you no make heaven Primary List, you go enter Supplementary.
