My brother, sorry to be honest with you. If you haven't divorce your wife, you didn't learn anything in that marriage.

Women aren't capable of love/marriage. They are manipulators, using love/marriage as a trap. Kindly, get sense and stay away from love/marriage.

If you are married, divorce her immediately. The fact that she hasn't show you pepper/shege now doesn't means she wouldn't show you pepper.

Women are very pretentious in nature. They can pretend for 20, 30 or even 40years. But one thing is certain, that shege they are cooking for you, you must eat it when the time is right.

I want to advise you with all humidity, kindly divorce your wife, no matter how hard it is or how emotional you are. It's for your own good. Later you will understand.

If you aren't married, God is on your side. Never, ever allow any girl or your emotion to deceive you into marriage. If you want children, have baby mama or better still, adopt or use IVF if you can afford it.

Peace!

A word is enough for the wise.

Who is this?

Lol, i understand your point my friendšŸ˜šŸ˜

But you see, some few girls are still virgins,homely, feminine and wife materialšŸ’Æ

Don't allow the majority of whores you see around today both offline and online deter you from getting married.

When you marry a virgin homely girl, you will be glad you're married.
Such girls you described exist, but I am not interested in living with a woman that people gon call my wife.

I value peace of mind and money over a woman

Marriage is way overrated. As time goes on more and more men and women are going to stay away from getting married

When you get married to the right person for you and you play your part rightly, you will know that marriage is not overrated.

Every marriage is unique, always find a way it works for both of you. Don't listen to anybody or any friend especially, parents inlaws. My 2 cents
Re: 10 Lessons I Learnt In My 10 Years Of Marriage by ejieddy: 5:18pm On Apr 09
This is so very apt. Love the part you said nobody will hurt you more than your spouse and one's ability to forgive and love again will be key and tested. Truly, this is the ultimate test of marriage as many people don't pass this test. One must also be intentional about fanning the flame of love.

It's wise not to take people seriously who always notice that tiny black spot on a large white board.

Almost always- they have major issues

Lol. It is no more respect, now honour.

Before it is was men crave RESPECT, not LOVE.

Soon it would be WORSHIP.

Then same men would complain that women don't marry who they LOVE.

Marriage is not a do or die affair.

Marriage is not compulsory.

If you can have your kids by crook or hook, fine.

Marriage can make or MAR you.

Any small mistake in marriage, you're a gunner who is gonna be filled with regrets.

what you say is your mind,in my area in imo state an unmarried man is looked on and regarded as a teenager ,no matter the level of your achievements,if you cannot manage a woman you are still a child in the eyes of everybody,infact it is almost impossible and unthinkable to be a man and reach 40yrs still single in my community ,the very essense of what a man needs the respect and dignity will not be given to you,even if you drive a rolls Royce Cullman.only by managing a woman can you prove you are worthy to be called a man
That one concern una village people. Like my manhood is defined by my ability to manage a fellow human being like me?

For any marriage to work, what is required is
1. Kindness
2. Both partners have to be deliberate and intentional with their commitment.

All those love fantasies are just fictions.

Wife respect your husband, a parent's honour can never be transferred to a spouse....a husband is the head of his home, while the wife's father will always be her father, her root.

There is no pressure men face that women do not face MORE. Most women are approached by way more men than a man would ever. In fact, any woman in a stable relationship or marriage would allude to the fact that men are attracted to kept women __ contrary to what we read online. They approach these women with so much aggression and energy, it takes a lot of DISCIPLINE and COMMITMENT to stay faithful.

The only pressure you guys face is the pressure that you can cheat and get away with it.

Nothing spiritual about it. It is simple discipline. If you don't want to taste a meat, do not cut it with your teeth. If you don't want to cheat, avoid situations and conversations that would give you ideas and direct you towards cheating.

Many times I get asked why I am almost invisible on visual social media (IG, TikTok) and it is simple, I don't want man troubles. 99times I might say NO, there might be 1 time I fall. If you start giving me the vibe of flirting, I caution you and cut you off if you persist. I don't need any divine whatever to know this. I don't even go to church. I just know I don't want to put him through that.
Like I said earlier you are right with your line of reasoning about the issue but then it is beyond your understanding because you are a woman and not a man.

You are talking about who gets more approached here but I am talking about natural instincts, natural phenomenon.


You think it is by women's discipline that even though they get more approached by different men for romance, still more women reject such approaches more than men?

It is by discipline that men chase women more than women chase men all over the world?


You think it's by discipline that a boy of 12 years starts liking girls and getting erection and start looking for a girl to hump while girls of his age are running away from boys?

You think it's by discipline or coincidence that Presidents, kings, Prime Ministers, male billionaires, male CEOs, Bishops, Pastors, Imams, etc spend so much just to entice girls to sleep with them but the female ones control themselves or do theirs in a more limited way?

It is by discipline that Queen Elizabeth remained faithful to her husband but her husband could not despite their status in the world?


It is by discipline that Hillary Clinton remained faithful to Bill Clinton but bill Clinton being US President with so much attention on him couldn't exercise same discipline?

Too many apples and oranges plus analogies in your post.

Men chase more women == Women getting more approached by men. The difference is both know the consequences of being caught.

12yrs old girls also start experiencing puberty and the zeal to explore. Why do you think we have teenage pregnancy?

Please quit the exaggerations. Faithful men (and women) would stay faithful. Cheats would cheat. We all know the difference between the two groups.



Cheating is deliberate and planned. There is no rocket science to it - MAN or WOMAN.

Aren't you old enough to realise this is a forum and when you create a thread, COMMON SENSE would tell you that people would comment? I bet you are old enough to know this. The common sense part is the deficit.

Give yourself a break and acquire what you lack.
