They want 90 % supports from a woman's life but will never try to invest 10 % into her life and still wants her to be submissive to his trash.


Jewessgratitud3:


Thanks dear. They are always looking for somebody to put up with their mess As if we too are not human beings with full right to life and our choices.

Please ignore those saying nonsense to you. They won't be there to share the sorrows in one's marriage.

You really need to peddle down a lil bit and stop this mindset.marriage is not an achievement really,but there's a balance it gives in a woman's life
Jeon:
You make me laugh very hard ..
Are they aware of this? if they're important or necessary then why do they do Shitz around the world and in the lives of people they called significant?.




Marriage is the most important achievement in African women's life, that is why 90 % sacrifice themselves by suicide,or accepting being murdered.
Like I said before,we all have our different choices in life.
If the op wishes to stay single it's her choice then I want to believe she has her reasons and as such shouldn't be coerced.

Mama and papa will give birth to a beautiful girl and hoping that one day they will see their grandchildren but alas pride, ego and feminism will show face and start pushing you into the wrong direction.
Your write up is filled with ego, pride, impatience and oversabi which is very tantamount among old single ladies.
There is a lady I know who is still single till now. She refused to marry the guy that has been disturbing her for marriage thinking that the guy is a boy boy because of the way he dresses not knowing that he is the CEO of his wine stores and has a lexus jeep. As the babe no gree my guy married another beautiful lady and aunty shakara ended up being the man's child classteacher.

You're strong for your sharing your story Jewess, knowing very well the society you come from. I see a few people are worried that you'll be trolled. I hope you know how depressed trolls are, so they shouldn't worry you one bit.
You cheerleaders are the ones misleading these people. Person enter 42 and never still marry yet you couldn't chastise her that what was she looking when she was in her 20s. Yet you said trolls are depressed where did you get your facts from that trolls are depressed?

Whenever a guy or a girl feels he or she is too special and better than others to commit to anybody, they always end up miserably single for long if not forever.


Only fools find love.

People who sometimes allow themselves to be deceived end up having meaningful life than those who always overthink life and always on guard against being cheated or used by others.



I was brought up just like you, very strict family, them no born you well to keep a male friend to talk of a female friend while growing up. My only friends were my siblings and few cousins.


I lived a miserable life growing up and even missed amazing people I would have become friends and acquaintance with while I was thinking I was too good and far better than anybody else.


Until I unlearned some of the wrong things I was inculcated into while growing up as a child, I lived a very miserable life; found it hard to talk to girls, avoided girls, always too shy around girls and even guys. My only companion was my book, house chores and my siblings. But when I unlearned and started being open and allowing myself to mingle and sometimes be deceived by others, I began to grow in all ramifications of life and I became more street smart and to the glory of God I ended up a great man with great wife, amazing kids, awesome friends, quality life and more than what I asked from God.


The only thing giving me stress in life now is the useless Nigerian government that always keep me angry at most Nigerians and my new academic study (a cross I carried oh in the name of growing my academic qualifications for bragging rights angry ).


So op, you made a lot of mistakes, you had lots of things you should have done differently.


Your quick in breaking up is a curse you need to pray over and break out of if not lipsrsealed
Wish I can like this one million times.

We need to learn and unlearn.

Exponential! Insidiously exponential analysis.

casualobserver:


Exactly. This is just a self consolation epistle. The reality is that at 42, even if she wants to marry (which deep down she does). She will struggle to find a man.

Women should not deceive themselves. No 42yr old woman has “suitors”. A man going after a 42 yr old woman is not looking for marriage. At that age the men chasing you are either already married or want to marry a younger women or are divorced. At 42, it is a woman who does the “suiting”. At 42 the only option to find a man is to settle for what you turned down in your youth except this time you are the 2nd wife or side chick whereas you were the main chick in your youth.

It is unfortunate that by the time many women realize the realities of dating and matching, it is too late for them. Women do not find husbands like we like to say, men find wives and the age window for a woman to be “found” is limited.

Life lessons for women. A woman is like fresh fish in the market and a man is like the buyer. There is a limited period when the fish remains fresh and can command competition amongst buyers and the best price in the market. If the seller doesn’t strike a deal with a buyer within that period, by evening you will end up discounting the fish and still no buyers or forced to eat your fish yourself, give it out for free or throw them away. So when the fruit is still Fresh, if the price is reasonable you take it because tomorrow there will be new fresh fish and nobody wants your fish anymore. The difference between a woman and a man is that 1). The quality of your fish goes down by the minute 2) you have a limited period to strike a deal with a good buyer, whereas for a man if he goes to market and his money cannot buy good fish today, he can go home work harder and raise the money to buy good fish tomorrow.

The market seller (Women) should remember when their fish is fresh that they are not the only ones in the market with fish, so when you have fresh fish and have competition for your fish, you must strike a deal or else there may never get an opportunity to tell the fish, certainly if you don’t sell while it is fresh, if you manage to sell it will never be at the price you were offered when fresh and which you rejected. So coming after the market has closed with epistle nobody asked you for about how you like the taste of your fish is as they say story for the gods, everybody knows you are eating your fish because there are no buyers.

The problem with many mature women who are still marriable is that they are still pricing their fish at the same price as fresh fish. After 35 you can’t have the same expectations (price) as you had when you were 25. You didn’t get that price when it was fresh how do you expect to get the same price when it isn’t fresh and there is new stock of fresh fish in the market?

Your story was very touching. I read through all the details - judging by your account of events, men have dribbled you too much. And I'm sorry for all that happened to you.

I understand many men of the place you find yourself aren't faithful to their partners, and also shun polygamy as Muslims do. Still, I urge you not to falter and don't get tired. Find it in your heart to accommodate someone and love them, and get married. Whether you can still have a baby or not, marriage is what is most important.

Even if the person isn't as financially stable as you are, as long as you love him, kindly give him a chance and even marry him. Sometimes we have to love some people not because of their pockets, but because we need to spend our life with them. Please.

I'm a Muslim man from Kebbi State, 30 in a few days to come. I don't want to exceed 30 years before getting married. I'm also about to get engaged to a lady whose family ia richer than mine.

Kindly give yourself another chance, and don't lose hope.
