One of the killers of marriage is dating different wrong people before meeting the right partner. At this point, such a person may be so broken to the point that when the right partner comes, the feeling may be "adulterated" or "polluted" because of past hurts or frustrations.
You were so loving, caring and faithful to the wrong partners while dating, now you have the right partner and you are probably rude, watchful and careless..
Lessons: It is better to wait and marry the right person without dating, than dating several people before marrying.
I am in this category and I do not feel anything towards the female gender anymore. No excitement, no urge, no zeal, and no energy. I used to be the guy that will compose love SMS, I used to be the guy that love to call often...

and then in 2021, a girl I decided to trust her words cos of the way she came as if she was tired of what other guys did to her, chose to "love bomb" me. that completely broke me cos it scared me as I realized that I had been used to catching "cruises" all along. I realized the betrayal and how I exposed my vulnerabilities.

Anyway, she went with another guy between 2021 and 2022 I did something she never believed I could... it is 2023, and she has been working to get into my life... In fact, she called me in January 2023 to say "Hi" according to her. Of course if you know how women work, you will understand what "hi" mean.

However, I do not feel anything for her or any woman out there, no matter what.

Will I get married? Yeah, I will be next year but not to her.

Will I love the woman I would marry? I would just say I would like her but definitely not love in the real sense like I used to feel or have.

I don't even want any woman to love me either... I am definitely not interested anymore, neither am I gonna chase it.

Good luck to everyone.

While the above statement might sound reasonable and intelligent... Just take a closer look, read it slowly this time, you will see it's garbage from another wannabe motivational speaker or preacher.

Girl wey you spos to marry, you take am do boyfriend and girlfriend.

Some fell in love with people whose character wasn't marriageable.

When time came for them to marry, they chose level-headedness over love.

If you ask me, ot not necessarily a bad thing. Many who claimed to be in love with each other got divorced after they realised love is not enough to make a marriage work.

For a marriage to work, it takes two people totally committed to each other and making their marriage work.


I'm sorry, have you marry?

- a wise person would understand that their wrong choices in life is whats to blame here, not the individuals they chose.
- a wise person would understand that everyone is different, and just as you can date 99 yeye people, the next one could be the right one (dont use the failures of 99 to judge the 1)
- its equally wrong to get into marriage with nor r/ship experiences whatsoever, thus not understanding what it takes to make a union work (many divorce today because they are clueless about how the other gender function).
- all what you will experience with these failed relationships should be considered EXPERIENCE (not baggage).... so you will come into your marriage with the right life experiences to handle marriage.

It could go the other way too. That person may grow and become a better version of themself for the right person.

There is no right person and there is no wrong person. We all have intentions and hence that intention isn't meant you feel disappointed and then change from wha we are into what we aren't.

Nigerians have intentions and that's a killer to everything.

Love isn't intentional sure you know

Re: How People Waste Love In Dating Before Marriage by bepositive11: 5:23pm On Jul 26, 2023
Why give her this much power over you? It takes courage to love again.

I had a painful encounter with a narcissist, but I did not let them turn me into a bitter person. I cut them out of my life completely, but I have taken the lessons with me. I am still open to love, but I am more careful about who. I know what red flags to look for.

When you truly love yourself, no one can hurt you that deeply. The problem is a lot of people fall in love so much that they start loving the other person more than themselves. That is wrong. That is when the hurt and betrayal can be too much to bear.

Love yourself first and only love other people as much as you love yourself. Let go of people who don't reciprocate.

You forgot that no one knows the day he or she will get married until the day of marriage...

Let's take Amaka for example,
✓you did not tell Amaka that deciding who she marries is beyond her and it's determined by economic factors.
✓ you did not tell Amaka when she Will get married.
✓you did not tell Amaka how she will know the right one.
✓you did not tell Amaka that some will Mary early, some will Mary late while some will not marry at all.
✓You did not tell Amaka to get a job so that she won't because of hunger jump into a relationship.
✓you did not also tell Amaka who will take care of her needs before marriage.
✓You did not also tell Amaka that even on the day of marriage, it is not over until it is over.
✓Lastly, you did not tell Amaka that some relationships are better than some marriages.

Many things Amaka hasn't been told...

she broke up with me yesterday, It was hell-painful even though she was my side chick, but she blamed me totally for everything. She is a victim of domestic violence and this has ruined her emotions. Coupled with being a single mother she had so much pressure from her ex, family and career.
I think dating the wrong people mess up people's brains and when they meet the right person, all they do is blame. Still pains me to shaaa, but we move as I no chop the pussy Wella before breakfast comes.

What exactly is your lesson/moral of the story? "Wait and marry the right person without dating?" So, people knew they were dating the wrong people and went on to exhaust their love on those wrong people? Think Wella.

Always looking for one external thing to blame. A person that seeks no improvement improves on nothing and a desperate man will always marry a mannerless woman in haste.
A desperate woman will marry a wicked man. The end.
Re: How People Waste Love In Dating Before Marriage by ibinaboonline: 6:19pm On Jul 26, 2023
Gbam. We want something to work so much that we ignore the red flags. Personally, I'm not so dug in about this red flag thing because one thing I know is that everyone is a POTENTIAL friend. Sometimes, it takes patience and understanding and two unlikely people might become best of friends. That wouldn't happen if you bailed at the first sign of red flag. I'm not saying it always turn out great at the end: just that it does happen.

The plain truth is that most people tend to neglect red flags during dating, thinking that partner will change... Instead,it only ended up damaging them for life,to the extent of having trust issues when they finally meet their soul mates.
