Oh. So you believe a woman be studied in 3 months now?
A prudent man can make up his mind after a search in just 3 months if performance obligation has been satisfied. And our minds are sensitive. If you say you no do and you delay in occupying that space intended for you, a lady much better and presentable than you can occupy that space. And that is game over.

Nawa oooo some one ask for advice as turn to evening newspaper, some of us act as if we don't have sisters at home. We insult ladies anyhow in this forum . Like thy re not human beings. Even if you have disdain for some gender pls control urself. It is shameful. Guys u can be Alpha male with respect. If a man comes to marry any lady in your house or family d first thing we Nigerians ask is what is ur source of livelihood to know if he can feed our daughter or sister. This is what we teach our ladies at home. The guy get job. That will be question we will ask. Everyone do it. Y re people hypocrite. If you can't give advice just rest.

I don't understand the romance section. Everyone seems combative, both men and women.

Alpha male, feminist, simps and all sorts of weird nomenclatures they call each other in anger. You guys should drink some water and chill so that we can discuss and learn from each other.

The mistake you made from the beginning is rejecting him inside 3months of your relationship, you should’ve considered that he’s very far away from you and for someone to want to marry you and take you America must be very serious about it…..so since you rejected his honest proposal from the beginning he’d think you’re just trying to use him cuz there’s no reason for you rejecting him…..you guys aren’t small so I think you should’ve considered it.

It’s your mistake so learn from it

Why are you adding conditions? Women can be studied in three months, and you obviously believe the guy in the story above has done due diligence to study her in three months?

Lol... so a lady that accepts your marriage proposal after three months of just meeting you is prudent not desperate?

You can marry a woman you don't know from Adam in three months?

Which feminist do you see running amok, calling men all sort of names and creating denigrating threads about them? What is weird about believing in equality and the humanness of women?

Can you count how many times threads about women get to the front-page and those guys flock to it as usual, talking down on women and using slurs on them?
Re: Problem With Abroad Boyfriend,i Need Advice by Bar1941(m): 12:41pm On Jul 14, 2022
Similar thing happened to me 5years ago or thereabout, there was this senseless lady I was trying to woo, I assured her with time everything will be fine, that I loved her and wanted her to be my wife but the mumu was asking me what and what have I acquired materially. This is a lady that two of her younger sisters had married, yet still looking for a millionaire before settling down.

After a while I left Nigeria and I decided to let her know then the fool was asking me "so what is the plan now", I asked her which plan? My plan is to acquire the material things you requested for initially. She was pained but I don't care, after some months I deleted her contacts from my phone.

Back to your topic, his statement made it clear he didn't love or have any plan for you marriage wise, move on.

Ok so here’s my 2 cents.
If you love someone and want to be with them and the issue of marriage comes up isn’t travelling automatic? I mean he’s there and you are here. Aren’t you travelling to meet up with him.
Now, for the fact that he is mentioning “ you want to use him for travelling “ appears to me that your conversation or relationship was not defined from the start and then evolved to something and now you have assumed it to be at that level when he hasn’t ( yet) .
Some personal questions
- when last did you see him ?
- did you guys date before he left the country ?
- has he been back home to see his family etc?
- has he sent you things or money ?
- frequency of your video calls ?
- were you introduced or met any family members.

I won’t lie as someone who’s been abroad, he very likely has a gf there but may prefer someone who is more homely and cultured ( maybe you) the issue here is that the tables have turned and now he thinks you see him as a way out of the country than wanting a committed relationship.

My advise would be for you to have a no holds barrel conversation with him.
- Tunde what am I to you ? A friend or something more.
- I am ready to take this “relationship” to the next level aren’t you ?

I have 2 personal stories but I’ll share one.
I have a Cuz who studied at OAU ( he didn’t finish ) left for Canada. He dated but always had in the back of his mind he wants to marry 9ja. So he asked someone in the family to find someone. They were introduced by phone and they talked almost every day ( frequency) . She met my uncle + aunt ( family knew about her )
and he came home every year to see her ( commitment, when last did you see him) when they were apart.
They are now together inCanada , have 4 kids and the rest is history.

I guess what I am saying is as painful as it is. You have to cut him lose if he is not pursuing the relationship as you are. Put him in the friend zone . He should be the one to drive the relationship status because he could submit the papers for you guys to get married etc etc.

Goodluck .
Thanks for the advice
To answer your questions
-He came to see me last December he left January
-No we did not(we met when he came to visit his parents in Nigeria)
-Yes he comes everyyear and I go to meet him at his parent’s house
-Yes he brings stuffs for me when he comes and he gives me money
-We talk and chat everyday and video calls too
We talk atleast 10hrs a day
-Yes he introduced me to all his family members and they call me too

Our relationship is solid to me ,don’t know where this is coming from

Hi everyone, so me and my bf have been dating for 2years + now, no issues. He’s in the states and I am in Nigeria.

The problem started when I started talking about marriage cos I want to settle down.
Now he told me he feels I want to use him to travel abroad, that statement really pissed me off because at the beginning of the relationship he was the one that wanted to marry like 3months after we started but I told him I wasn’t ready and I didn’t know him enough.

So which one is I want to use him to travel now??

I feel like maybe because I keep talking about the marriage stuff, that’s why he thinks it’s because of traveling.

I’m thinking it’s only break up that can solve the issue. Cos if it comes from me, then that’s a clear message I’m not dating for abroad
Or how do I solve this issue??

Ps he has been U.S citizen from the beginning of our relationship.
Just didn’t accept cos he might be a serial killer or woman beater or something, I didn’t know him well enough.
If you think you can endure the bolded just for green card....go ahead. If being alive and respected is your priority, my dear, use your tongue to count your teeth

Break up with him.

I am an abroadian boyfriend. The only reason I even pursued the lady in question is because I saw my wife in her. If marriage is not the goal, there is little point in abroad-Naija relationship.

From his point of view, I can see his fears. That just shows that the trust is not there, and he should break up with you.

Alternatively, you two could try to get you to come as a student to the States. That way, you two could have a normal relationship, NO STRINGS ATTACHED. If you two still want to marry, great, if not, you separate.

Calm down. You're sounding agitated and that's the combativeness I was speaking of. Your aggression is misplaced and totally unnecessary.

You didn't understand my text in context. I was speaking generally about the name calling in the romance section. I don't venture into the romance section, only when a thread is moved to the frontpage ...and everytime I've noticed that the commenters are usually combative and I wonder why that is.

I will commend the guy for wanting to marry a lady he met in just three months..That's short to understand a woman he intends to make a forever..

You on your part played hard to get or probably into some one else..

Seems tables turned, you now pressure him with marriage talks...First impression matters.

You ladies don't know when you push away that dude specially meant for you..All because of selfish gains, and unexplainable shakara...Plus nasty characters..

A lady must make herself approachable..Because a man does the chase..We found you as woman and obtain favour from the Lord..Not you telling us I am here o grin

Or doing hide and seek..To appear woke.

You look desperate now, probably you have sized him up and he is doing okay..You are now talking marriage.. undecided He lost interest when you pushed him away..Men don't forgive that...When they front a genuine interest, you push it off like the world revolve around you..

Lick your wounds and move on.

Our abroad based guys go for the most submissive women when e reach to marry...Reasons why na their mama/ papa or relative the find wife for them.. cheesy

You sound egotistical..He is afraid you will rebel against him the moment he brings you over..And which is at least 73.44% truth from how you treated him from onset.
