True Beauty,

For a while I've noticed the stark contrast between the potrayal of second male leads and second female leads in Kdramas especially when both are romantically interested in the respective leads.
The second male lead is always thoughtful, sweet, charming and puts us in a state of perpetual second lead syndrome that makes us root for him but the second female lead is usually a bitchy, cold, calculating mean girl who harrasses and bullies her rival over a man who's made it clear he isn't interested in her. She makes it so easy to hate her.

I was really hoping Kang Soo jin was going to be different and surprise me. But she ended up with that same script even after being such close friends with Ju Kyung.
Meanwhile the boys who are supposed to be rivals are sharing a bed, helping each other heal physically and emotionally, knitting together and eating from the same pot.

@Bold:

I don't have Second Lead Syndrome

Am I normal

Henuell:
Yea bro
But I really don't like Korean love or romance series

Bro with the bright big F

@bold:

Why?

What do you prefer?

flokii:
Well, the fur part is what I'm not sure of.. it's possible they added fur to the afabric or they have a way of making fur look-alike.
With fake titus fish and plastic rice, what is not possoble nowadays with technology?

@bold:

Help!

I am re-watching Ashes of Love

15 years multiply by 365 days is roughly 5,000 plus days, so she gets 2naira compensation for every day he was away for keeping the home front intact.

Don't disrespect half bag of rice like that, it is now 15k naira.

The N10k will sha buy quarter bag and pay alabaru

eni070:
I don’t know what’s going wrong with me. I beat my wife, without any reason.

Are there certain triggers that seem like 'justification' to you or you just literally stand up & start beating her?

What's your wife's reaction? Her family's?

Has she separated or divorced you?

Have you gone for therapy?

Good Morning Fellow Nairalanders
This story I want to share here is a true life story about my family
It happened that my father retired at the Nigerian Brewery PLC in Ibadan in the year 2005.
After his retirement we expected him to set up a small scale business, but knowing that he has another plan in mind.
I had just finished my secondary school when he retired,we are just four and I am the third born,. On the 10th of October my father travelled to United kingdom (UK), without telling anyone about it, it was when he got to the UK that one of his friend came to pass the news to us, it came as a shock to the whole family, the most painful part of it is that he went with his concubine who had giving birth to four children and divorce her husband, and they did court wedding in Lagos,
To cut the whole story short, life is not that easy for us as we had to look for means to survive, my mother is just a petty trader who earns little, I had to pick up a phone call business and I was earning 3k per month.
Life really went too rough for us but thank God we are able to survive..
My father came back last year from London, and it was with surprise because nobody was informed about his coming.
When he got to Nigeria, he had to stay in her younger sisters house in ondo state, so he fixed a day for get together, it was at the get together that he apologized and gave my mum 10k just to forget about what has happened in the past, he has not been sending any support to her right since he travelled


I have an advice and a question to ask on nairaland
Firstly, the advice goes to the ladies, Please and please, don't ever rely on any man to survive, always try as much as possible to work hard and never be a burden to any man, even if your husband ask you not to work, try and find a better business to do because you never can tell what tomorrow will bring..
The second is just a question, if you happens to be in my mother's shoe,Do you expect her to forgive such a man and then accept the 10k gift he offered without any other benefits?

Let me address the question(s):

1. Should your mother forgive such a man?
Yes, she should. It is for her benefit physically and spiritually. Please forgive here is not the Nigerian definition of sweeping things under the carpet; it is letting go of the bitterness towards your father as a result of his actions.

2. The N10k is for what exactly? To represent your upkeep over the years? As a gift? An apology gift? etc? I wouldn't advise her to collect it anyways. And your dad doesn't even seem sorry; might be that things have taken a bad turn & he wants to enjoy where he deserted or he was told somewhere to 'reconcile' with your mum to 'clear his conscience'.

Like I said in point one, the forgiveness is for your mum & not your dad.

She can just ask why he left (if closure is her thing) and move on as she had for the past 15 years.

Mryacks:
Much as I agree with valid points stated in your write up, I am sorry to say but it will keep getting worse.

The much one can do is try as much as possible to inculcate good moral values and training to your child/children and pray they don't derail. Society as it is now won't do that job for anyone and everything's gone these days mahn

@bold:

Very correct.

@Society: Those days are gone. To find a decent Jean skirt is now an extreme sport.

The length of 'decent' skirts and dresses gets shorter.

Modified:
There are nice decent designers if you search for.

Henuell:
I dunno if u guys like Korean adventure/action films

cause I need someone to talk to about some series I really loved

VAGABOND and UNCANNY COUNTER
they are my best
not mentioning SQUIDGAME
guy I recently started loving Korean films bekas of Uncanny counter

I know that feeling

I don't believe this story.

Kobicove:
This is a very vital information.

It is wickedness on your part if you do not tell her.

@bold:

Wickedness is the correct word here

mapet:
...and if we look a little further we will discover she was also brought into the marriage from the village or at best very basic background. She's suffering from reverse-inferiority complex

She's even more stupid than expected... aif she applied wisdom, she should have been in the forefront of organizing the maid for Baba...had she done that, the maid would have been eternally grateful and she would still have a hold on her... now she will be severely dealt with, all the molestation on the nanny will be avenged

Walahi, the woman is more stupid than an idiot!

As soon as Baba expressed interest in the nanny, she should have encouraged them and used that leverage to pressure her husband out of the family house.

Baba's wife is already preggers:

Once she puts to bed, call her 'Mummy XYZ'.

Klass99:
Thank you for sharing your story. It is a thought provoking and valuable experience, people can learn from.

The part in bold is one of the reasons I am so pissed at the main character in this story. She kept going on and on, about the maid and wouldn't even refer to her by her name. As if the maid is not a human being who deserves good things in life.

Some rich people have a bad and wicked mindset, they think others are not qualified to enjoy the nice things they do (like this woman). We had an office event recently and I was putting aside some refreshments for our cleaners and security guards, when one of my bosses said I shouldn't give them small chops, just sandwiches only.

It's not like we didn't have enough to go round, but in his stupid mind, cleaners and guards are not good enough for small chops. He is one of the highest paid staff on payroll, what is small chops for junior staff whose salary is not even a half of his?

@bold:

Them full everywhere.

Even in my office sef.

LilMissFavvy:
Why do people date whom they feel they may not marry? She knew he was a divorcee early enough. Let her be wise in future relationships.

It is called being woke and sexually free

Dude397:
Good evening everyone. To cut the long story short my mental health issues started in 2012 when I tried weed in the university. It's not genetic. I've been in and out of psychiatric hospitals a good number of times. However I'm currently on medication and I've been able to manage the condition. I was also able to graduate and I've also done my nysc and my family is planning on opening a small business for me since job has not been forthcoming.

However my health condition has been kept secret by me and family and I'm currently dating a nice girl. Please should I tell her my secret. What caused most of my episodes was refusal to take my medication and all that but right now I'm very okay and for some few years now I've been going about my daily affairs without any issue. If I let the cat out of the bag I don't think she may stay cos the stigma of mental health issues is not a joke. Please I need your advice on how to handle this delicate issue. Thanks

Let's flip the story.

Would you want her to tell you if she had mental issues?

If you do not tell her, then she is in a relationship with a version of you that doesn't exist.

She wouldn't even be able to provide the support you need because she doesn't know.

And if she would walk away, isn't better now than after marriage?

People getting into marriages/relationships today really need to open their eyes o.

Elidrisy20:
Marry your daughters out at younger age some mumu will start yarning rubbish,una see the results abi

Are you crazy?

In your wisdom, young marriage is supposed to cure pedophiles raping them.

Let's agree with you.

What age was the parents supposed to marry a four year old girl to prevent rape?

You see that sense is very far from you.

doggedfighter:



Who impregnated her?

That's the part I am more concerned about.

Was he punished adequately for this atrocious act?

On the other hand no childhood for this little girl.

This life !

Unfortunately, no.

Plead:



The kinda things you see on social media will make you think women are barred from contesting elections or voting for fellow females.

Females are more than males in Nigeria, why can't they vote for themselves? They'd rather vote for men and start ranting on social media.

@bold:

Exactly.

When I have their time, I tackle them then they come up with phrases like 'imbibed patriarchy' and other nonsense.

This is Nigerian politics: I am sure Stella Oduah is not the worst of the candidates.

Let's excuse the women who have male relatives contesting and those who actually voted the best candidate who might be a man in this particular case.

What stopped the other women who do anywhere belly face to vote her?

If we are serious with a female Governor (for starters), we will get it once a contestant emerges.

Back her up, mass vote her & rig the remaining parts to her favour.

The serious female candidate would also have baba & mama isales who are willing to sponsor her by hook or by crook.

Whatever she uses to get their support is her business.

Aganju849:
What has she done for them? besides sitting in Abuja chopping national cake

What has the other men done for them?

Or all her male co-contestants are saints?

GboyegaD:
You no know how the person waka ooo. Just the way I don't like when people say God of a pastor not in the Bible since we don't have the person's story.

Awon grace tappers.

That's how they tapped from Tonto Dike's and Annie Idibia's grace

I low key don't feel comfortable with God of X (who is not in the Bible).

You really do not know the full story.

Tomorrow, women would come to wail that 'we are not ably represented at the top'.

I am sure Stella Oduah is not the worst candidate yet, the women there could not rally around her.

Keep waiting for men to win the elections and hand it over on a platter of gold.

Slavishbenin:
You didn't read op well, if not he has already done number 3

If he successfully did number three, the thread would not exist.

iammolise:
Correct pastor
The one that vexes me the most is the "God of adeboye" chanters... What do y'all mean by that BS, are we not all sons of God.

Anybody could be a pastor

There is God of Abraham, Issac & Jacob in the Bible sha.

Don't be too quick to attack.

GboyegaD:
Why do people tap into grace though?

So that the doings in the person's life can be replicated in theirs.

The Christian version of 'show me the way' and 'cut soap for me'.

KoladeChris24:
I have this girl who is the only one I love, but she said she can never attend catholic church.

I told her it's not an issue - that as my wife, she's free to attend any church she likes, but she insisted our family would have to attend the same church.

She won't marry me if i stick to my Catholic faith. Please advise me, she's the only one I love, and I can't start over anymore.

She wouldn't marry you if you remain catholic;

You are not willing to leave catholic for love....

You have three choices:
1. Leave catholic and marry her
2. Stay in catholic and leave her
3. Convince/confuse her that she is free to worship anywhere as you remain in catholic

Beht, didn't she/you know that catholic is a deal breaker before progressing the relationship?

Victerica:
No religion supports western civilization (secularism), as much as Christianity.

Abeg! Leave Christianity out of it.

The Bible is very clear on cross dressing, homosexuality, adultery and fornication.

I am listing sexual sins because of the topic.

Mariangeles:
Nowadays, when you pray for a son or a daughter, be specifically clear.

May our daughters not come out in our sons' bodies, and our sons in our daughters'.
May our children not bring us disgrace.

Na to update prayer to male sons and female daughters

What a thread!

Keep it coming.
