Hello nairalanders, i will love know wot u guys feel concernin this. I av been going out wit this guy for six years nw and we av a beautiful daughter, he is ok and comfortable. And i love him. But he did'nt want to get maried now. He says: he's two elder brothers are not yet maried so being d third son he does'nt want 2 get maried b4 them, and he is 35yrs. Do u think dis is normal?

Very normal.

Why buy the cow if the milk is free? If it ain't broke. . . please, don't try to fix it. kiss

I would not marry the dude after having a child. Usually, you get married before having children. Having enjoyed all the benefits of the marriage that would never be. . . I would invest more time in getting another child. Better still, you are married under 'common law' stipulations.

I commend the men in this family for helping keep the statistics of failed marriages way down. No one should get into marriage just for the heck of it.


Kudos to all three brothers! kiss

As far as he and hi family recognises you and he perfroms the duties of a husband, he is your husband

He does not want to get married, not to yoou anyways. I agree with Blazay on this. Why pay for the cow when you get the milk free. He gets everything he can possibly want from a marriage already so why bother? Moreover he can move on easier if things get patchy btw you two.
I wouldn't say you have much of a bargaining stance. Marriage should ahve come b4 the pregnancy or at least b4 birth. Why bother now?
THe most important thing is you guys are committed to each other.

@OP
You've allowed this man to take for a ride too long, after 6 years and a daughter he's still not ready! His excuse is a lame one

@ deniyor, i will love to correct an expression here, this guy loves me so much but no marriage.

he is probably being honest however keep in mind that some men view marriage as being the end of their days of fun. 

undecided undecided undecided



some men sef.  undecided

hopefully this is not the case and he in fact values tradition as he says. If so then I don't see anything wrong with it so long as he is not cheating
or trying to evade the concept of marriage as a whole.

Not normal but not uncommon.
He loves you, you love him. You're doing ok.
He doesn't want marriage, you want marriage?
If both of you are unwilling to change the stand and unwilling to continue as you are then move on.
I no sabi all these confusion thing. You make a choice and follow through.

@OP: yes its normal. His xcuse is a lame one. Doubt he wants to marry so just manage him. Next time, marry before you get pregnant for any man who "claims" to love you. Or else, choose to be a single mom. Your choice.

Re: Is This Normal? by ceeplus(m): 10:07am On Jun 05, 2011
@OP. sometimes is normal,sometimes is not,depending on their culture.or his finance.Just try and accept anything you cannot change.
