He Is Not From My State by Victimoftribali: 10:55pm On Dec 31, 2023
I created this account to I don't know, maybe vent or something.

So I met this girl a while ago, even though she has been putting me off (she later adduced it to being in a relationship then) but we got really close and started dating about a year ago.

She turned out to be my dream girl, I fell deeper than I intended and for the first time in a long while considered marriage. She on the other hand, loved me, I could tell. The only stumbling block would be her parents who she claimed and truthfully would insist on her marrying from her state. Long story short, she recently told them about me and my state remained their strongest basis for opposing our marriage.

It hurts that statism is about to put an end to an otherwise beautiful love story in the making.

They tried bringing up the age difference, if I have built a house and wondering if she was desperate being young and fresh graduate, the issue of state even though my village to hers is less than a 3 hour drive is the most hammered upon.

Even though it hurts, but not as much I have hurt before, but how should being from different states even though of the same ethnic group be so much of a problem?
I just wish to get over this soon and maybe find someone else to wholly love like I have loved this girl.

Till I met and dated her for over a year, I never believed I could love a girl this much without sex, my instinct would have been to encourage her to fight her parents on this, but experience has taught me better.

I am devastated, I don't know how to pick up from here and move on and how fast I can do that.

How do I begin to even love as deeply as I did this person? Worst is that I have flaunted my love for her so much that every other person that might have had interest in me have all given up on me.

This is bad and it is hard to bear

Since you are already considering moving on from the relationship, then do your best to put a stop to the ruminations, including creating threads on the subject. undecided

I mean what is the point of ruminating over and over about that which you do not plan to do anything about. Let it go so you can find yourself that other someone who you will not need to worry about the same over. undecided

I am just ranting... If there was something I could do, I definitely would do it. Girls like her, though they abound are difficult to come by.

Before allowing yourself to fall in love next time, make sure all possible obstacles have been considered just in case the relationship leads to marriage. It will save you a world of heartache.

You'll heal, eventually. Just try to engage in activities that are carthartic, and most importantly PRAY to God to heal your broken heart. He answers prayers, trust me on this.

stay away from that tribalistic, uneducated family , you are better off, don't encourage her to fight her parent, you'll be forever fighting their approval if you end up with her. it's 2024 tribalistic nature of some Nigerians is just plain stupi.d yet these set of people will be first to shout racism
