Ur father should wake up? It seems you were never taught respect in communication by your parents, it seems you don't know how to comprehend. Did I say marriage is easy? I meant it requires team work to make it less difficult.




I didn't insult you in anyway! The "wake up boy" is a pallance usable to either a younger person or a contemporary.

So you decided to go after my father who is long gone from this world? Because you think you're talking to a kid?

And you went mentioning my parents just like that? Who is being disrespectful now?

No problem. Na faceless social media cause this kain disregard.

We were seven friends growing up. After University, we lost contact due NYSC posting.
Last week, we reunited at the wedding of the daughter of our village head.
To my surprise, the five that are married are not looking good at all. It was so obvious that the lady who served us food (also our close friend) asked one of us if he is sick. This guy use to have swag and clean beards then. But now, his beards look so scattered. His potbelly starts from his chest. His face have become so wide and flat. His hairs are all gone. Like nothing on his head again but skin. Clothes couldn't fit him again. Unlike when we were in the university. This guy was tall and handsome but I don't understand how he now look short, fat with shoulders raised to the neck.


He isn't the only one that looked frustrated. One can't even walk well again. Stroke? He said no. Then what happened?
The painful one is the guy who use to be gentle and happy. We all knew this guy as a jovial person. Omo! When we met at the wedding ceremony, this guy looked so depressed. The pains he goes through daily show on his face.

I thought it was the journey that put so much frustrations on them but all of them came to the wedding by fight!
The had rested in a nearby hotel for two days before the wedding day. So why did the look so bad?
The annoying part is that, as we discussed over drinks, these guys still say dumb shitts like "marriage is good oooo. Do and get married"
And I was like "marriage is good but look at you guys. You're all shadows of yourselves. Is this how you were 9 years ago?"
They all agreed that the are going through hard times caused by marriage.

I and the one who is not married looked so clean, happy and healthy. We don't have problems. We chilled with young girls at the event. We were so attractive. Unlike our married counterparts.


Omo, married men are going through a lot ooo.

You are confuse, if I shows you photo of my group of friends, you go marry next Saturday.. you’re wailing and looking for words of comfort

In your friends case marriage is not the problem but the absence of financial stability.
It is easy to buga as a single guy when you are earning a couple of hundreds of thousand of naira , when you get married it will dawn on you , that money is actually small.
Poor people can get married but don't start breeding yet ,the country is overpopulated.

Their problem isn't marriage, their problem is harsh economy of Nigeria under APC leadership since 2015, and made worst under the known drug trafficking looter since 2023.



Even my small company's revenue/profit have dropped drastically since this year, all thanks to Tinubu's thoughtless economic policies, and I thank God I diversified into various other businesses and still diversifying to maneuver through this Tinubulation period, if not, na so I for don lean pass my current slim fit stature and people like you will start blaming my amazing, super angelic wifey that even brought more joy, success and class into my life grin


So don't blame marriage for their current life struggles, Nigeria under Tinubu's government has not been favorable to most Nigerians into legitimate businesses.


The greatest challenge men experience in marriage that drain them are:


1.) financial problem
2.) inability to have kids


if these two issues are not present in a man's marriage, believe me, the man have no issue at all, every other issue can be taken care of or even overlooked or managed.


Another thing that drain men in marriage is taking care of kids (age 1 to 6yrs) if he and his wife doesnt have relatives to come around and unlucky to find a help/nanny, and this becomes worst if both wifey and hubby are working full time. If you haven't stayed with 2yrs to 5yr old kids alone in the house, you will never know that children are a hard nut even though they are adorable lolz

Omo e no dey easy. I have practically become another person entirely. Every 5 minutes, I dey settle complaint. This one hit me, this one dey repeat wetin I talk, something bite me , i want drink water.

Marriage is not the problem, ineffective family planning and having too many kids are usually the culprit for the most part.

Marry an individual who has a career or business and have only ONE child.

The couple must be contributing financially into the marriage and you will see marriage in itself is not the problem.

No matter what, have only ONE child.

OP, you need a paradigm shift in your mentalities towards marriage and stop hanging out with illiterate village people.

I read your message, and I can understand why you were taken aback by the changes you saw in your friends at the wedding. It's tough to see people you care about going through hard times, especially when you remember them in their prime.

Life after university has taken different paths for all of us, and it seems like marriage has been challenging for some of your friends. It's important to remember that everyone’s journey is unique, and what we see on the outside doesn't always reflect the full picture of their experiences.

Marriage, like any major life commitment, can come with its own set of stresses and responsibilities. The physical and emotional toll it can take might be more visible in some than in others. It’s disheartening to see your friends struggling, but it’s also a reminder of the importance of offering support and understanding.

It might be helpful to reach out to them individually, not just as a group, to see how they're really doing. Sometimes, people don’t open up in a group setting but might be more honest one-on-one.Try to be there for them and maybe suggest ways you can all support each other better.

As for your own situation, it's great to hear that you and the other unmarried friend are doing well and feeling good about where you are in life. Everyone's timeline and experiences with marriage and life’s other big commitments are different. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, and what works for one person might not work for another.

Try and keep the lines of communication open and support each other as best you can. Life is full of ups and downs, and it's our friendships that can help us navigate through them.

Cheers

It's no surprise to see the current and prospective slaves defending the marriage plantation. Misery loves company and that's why they want other men to become like them.


They love marriage so much, but are too scared to do DNA tests on their children.


They love marriage so much, but are too stupid to notice that their lovely wives are getting pounded morning, afternoon and night by the same men they love to castigate for being single.


As a married man, when last did your wife suck your diick? When last did she ride you with so much force and passion till your dick couldn't take it anymore? Of course, you can't remember, because it rarely happens or has probably never even happened.


But she'll gladly go on her knees and suck the hell out of your mechanic's dick. She'll even swallow his cum and then kiss you goodnight with those same lips. Your electrician already knows the in-and-out of your wife's pussy. Within seconds of seeing your driver, her pussy is already wet for him.


Embrace that scam of an institution called marriage all you want, but don't you dare criticize those who've chosen to remain free, lest you end up looking like a fool.

There's nothing wrong with marriage if you're married to the right person. You people should stop making the unmarried people scared of marriage.

Your boys didn't take good care of themselves, it's that simple.

A man is a provider, it's very difficult to do that these days - providing for your wife and kids.

But there are times you need to think about yourself also,

... buy better clothes, do a little skincare, use nice bathing soap, body cream, sunscreen, roll-on, oil perfume etc.

... Do your grooming weekly, haircut and beards!

... Exercise if you're getting too big, cut down on excessive alcohol and stay healthy!

Not everything is until you have big money!

You've said it all, God bless you for this.

I'm a married man, I look more better in terms of look when I was single. The current cream I use was prescribed by my wife, including supplements.
Pray to get married to the right person.

We rise by lifting others

The writer is not far from the truth…make we not they hype these days marriage.

Most folks are going through hell…I have two close pals who say dem nor wan do again…WOMEN are great manipulators…couple with the fact that if you nor use your head for marriage, there’s nothing in stock for you.

No doubt, marriage is adorable…but the genesis of all mental stress, still remains the fact that most men or women don’t marry who Dey sole desire…A women will always marry who is available, men in old age will just want to fulfill all righteousness.
