to d marriage issue, its lyk dat. 2 diff families wit der different ideologies are coming together to plan a day, ofcz der ll be conflict. he loves his family as much as u love urs so don't expect him to keep dem in d dark esp wen no harm was done.

visit ur man, apologize and mean it. u r d woman here, d wiser, calmer, more diplomatic one, dats why u r a she. begin to act lyk one, get ur temper under control and learn ow to manage crisis and lessen tension. im sorry to say, tins may not get better, as much as he loves u, he loves his family too and he needs der support. dis isn't a tym to show dat he is urs alone, heck, u ain't even family yet.

Just giving my humble opinion though you can either decide to take it or leave it.

Your guy was humble enough to let you know that he has told someone else.What if he did tell his dad but kept mute about it.Besides,if i were in his shoes,I would do same.

My fiancee cannot tell me what his family is saying about our marriage plans,and then expect me to keep it to my self.No way!heeelloooo.......I have a family too.I mean,if i hide it from them,and they later find out,when things go wrong,they would be so mad at me for saying it late.
I think i prefer it when couple have little fights like this,instead of pretending to each other jut for the sake of peace.

Babe ,you acted on impulse you know ,no one wants to be called a coward but trust me,if such trivial issues can make you call off your wedding,then you can as well not get married now,untill you are psychologically ready.Who says he might still not call you a coward even in marriage?what happens then?You file for a divorce?


I know you are trying not not hurt your ego here or make it look as if you are begging for marriage.But how about calling him so that you guys can have a chat.Tell him you said those things out of anger.Trust me he will apologize to you too.And before you know it,you guys are fine.Try it,you will be happy you did.smiley

Goodluck!

Simanyaki once said that I write with so much and anger,and advised me to let go.


I think I have done that or maybe am doing that gradually. But trust me I don't feel same anymore. Things has really changedsmiley

madridsta007:

That's the reason why most people normally wait till they can afford to do the traditional wedding on a Thursday or Friday and the Church wedding on a Saturday so they don't yield too much to temptation.

^^^I think this part made more sense to me.
Romance / Re: A Thread for Single Ladies :) by carmelion(f): 5:11am On Apr 20, 2013
Hello house goodmorningsmiley.Please there is something I want us to discuss today,cos am even confused myself.

A married friend of mine told me that she and her husband never had carnal knowledge of each other until their white wedding night.

Now they got married traditionally,five months earlier. She said that after their traditional marriage,she did not follow her husband back to his house,rather he went home alone. Can you imagine?hmmm...

When people saw her the following morning,they were suprised ,so they asked

"Were you not the one that got married yesterday"?what are you doing here?".

So she tried explaining to them that she and her husband are doing it the christian way.

Now she told me that she was not a virgin but her husband was. She started practising secondary celibacy
after the last relationship she had before meeting her husband. So meeting a virgin man made it easier for her to abstain.


Now I want to ask?what's your take on this?Isn't traditional marriage the main wedding?Isn't it recognised before God?Am a christian but I don't understand why I should wait for five freaking months before being intimate with my own husband !,all because am waiting for one white wedding.All those weddings we hear of in the bible,are they not traditional?After which the man retires to his room with his bride?

I might be wrong ,I might be right,but to me,white wedding was borrowed. Or what do you guys think?

Please I want to clarify this for my sake and the sake of others who might be interested in this topic.

I believe it went well for them cos both, wanted it. What if it was between a virgin girl and a non-virgin man who has patiently waited a long time?then after your trad,you still continue to tell him story?There is more to marriage than sex but to me some things should not be stretched.


I might be wrong here but I really think some issues that brings about dispute between couples are really irrelevant.sad

bukatyne:

That is the problem we have in life.

Why can't the husband to be just exhibit who he really is during courtship? I always wonder when people say that courtship is different from marriage. Why so?

I know my fiancé is a staunch arsenal fan. When I am visiting and it's time for arsenal's match, he leaves me and go to watch the ball in a viewing center if he can't watch it in his room. It would be hypocritical of him to deny himself of that when I am with him and bring it on when we are married. I understand he needs his 'me' time. I can watch films, read, sleep or my favorite: NL! He knows I am a NL convert angry and is getting used to it grin.

we try not to give each other false impressions et expectations so that in marriage we are not disappointed though we can't possibly know all about each other.

keep it up girlfriend!,Pretense only leads to disappointments cos you can't hide for long.Enjoy your similarities
and make your differences interesting.Perfect is boring,you know

I pray it happens soon wink. Inviite us o cheesy

You get sense o,so when they signout,you will now sign in behind their back to come and ENJOY the thread?Cos as far as am concerned that is exactly what you do,cos no dull moments here.


Well to answer your question,past relationships sometimes affects the way we go into a new one.Especially if it did not work out well.


It just makes you feel everyone is the same.Even though somehow you know its a lie,but psychologically you have been affected.

Its not peculiar to only women.Men do it too.Its a human behaviour,thus the saying,
"Once bitten,Twice shy"

Lucky you,if you have not been hurt before by anywoman.Better if it remains so.

As we celebrate the 100pages of this thread,this is a great message to all the single ladies here.

Its a poem with 9 verses,and trust me,at least one verse is for you.It was not written by me.I got it from the net.

The title is Life is not a race.Please read it and bring the message into your life.




Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Do not set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.

Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

Do not let your years slip through your fingers by living in the past, nor in the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

Do not give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly.

Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been,
but also where you are going.

Life is not a race,
but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Dear Miss blanche,I don't know how to say what I want to say,but I will say it the best way I can. One week is such a long time to keep someone waiting,you know without a word. Makes it look as if you are taking them for granted.

But let me tell you,sweetheart,even if no one here understands you,trust me I understand what it feels like ,when you have been through so much in your previous relationships. It just makes you behave relunctantly,soo unserious towards anyone you meet , at the first instance.

For the past 2-3 weeks,my phone has been switched off. I am not even interested in who is calling cos I know I don't have a partner neither do I owe anyone any explanation. I call my family with my office line and that's it.

Now I know this might be very wrong,but that's the way I feel.

Now missblanche,I know you see your company as your new found love ,so every other thing comes later. That's the way life makes you feel ,but if we will tell our selves the truth,its wrong

Recently,I met someone who is doing a very good job of being my therapist,and trust me so far,there is an improvement. I just charged my phone last weekend ,but am trying to remember going out with it.

As am posting this,my phone is lying somewhere in my room,while am in the office. Same thing happened yesterday. I came back and saw some missed calls.

So I called back. I don't even know whether the battery is going off or not.

Please,I know you are not proud,I know you are a nice person its just that this whole relationship thing is not your priority now.

Please take a deep breath,pause and work on yourself.include it in your priority now before it becomes too late. The next guy you will meet might not be "the bitchy type",and your character might just make you loose him. You never can tell you knowsmiley.No matter how busy you are,make out time for people,alright?

Its ok,honey.Be strong,you will be finekiss (((hugs))).

@Miss blanche,good to see you againsmiley.I know you must have been very busy .It ain't easy being a C.E.O you knowwink.
Well as regards your friend,you wrote about,there are some things I would like to say. But before that, I would like to know

Did he call you to find out why you could not make it to the date?Or was your phone switched off?

@xyoung,Where have you beeeen?!smiley.You really have a lot of catching up to do. I have not heard from Maya for a very long time. Incase you see am,help me tell her we have missed her a lot!.

Now to answers your questions

1.No ,it is not compulsory for a guy to help every lady that smiles at him.

2)Any lady that starts asking you for money even when you have nothing serious to do with her is yet to know her left from her right.

Such behaviour is mostly seen among teenagers, students and women who regard you as a Maga (just because you are kind)

Okay,I understand that there are sometimes when someone might be genuinely in need of money and might need help. Now ask yourself,how long have you known each other and how did she present the matter to you?


By the way,this issue of seeking financial help is not only found between the opposite sex. It happens in our everyday life. Some people just see you and feel they are smart enough to use your head, may be because you are the gentle type.

Now let me give you a tip on how to handle such people.Just so that you satisfy your conscience,give the little you have,even if its 5naira note. Tell them its for support and that is the little you can afford. They should complete it from else where.

That way ,you keep them on the fence,they won't even know where to place you in their life again .

You are neither a Maga,neither are you a philanthropist. And trust me that would be the last they would ask you for money again.They will even help you spread the news about their experience to other intending 'beggers'.

Try it,it works like Magic.

For the No3 question,no you are not wrong.Do it,but for a short time.Or you can give her money at your own will,not when she asks.

Every lady wants some form of appreciationn from her man,no matter how little.
Romance / Re: A Thread for Single Ladies :) by carmelion(f): 5:51pm On Apr 13, 2013
@2jideofor Oh!,now I get it,you are the same person as 2sexy ,net?Eiya,sorry for the ban. I finally read through and I think that all everyone has said is relevant.

I mostly agree with chike orji,when he mentioned the age part. Most younger girls would behave like that.

I also agree with Aluta doll,not every younger lady behaves that way. There are matured young ladies who proves to you that age is just a number.

All the same I would like to add that,there is Value in Scarcity.

When a man starts calling a lady every now and then,trust me,it becomes disturbance.

You call in the morning,call in the afternoon,call at night. Personally,I will start getting tired of your calls.

You know one thing about calls is that you want the person to pick immidiately. Unfortunately,he/she might be busy
or is in a noisy environment(so no need picking),
or the battery is down(might go off when he/she picks)
Or maybe he/she forgot it at home and went out(am always guilty of this)

A lot of things could be responsible. I prefer if you drop a mail,or text then I will reply as soon as I CAN

There is also Phone-ethics to deal with. Why in heavens' name would you give someone 10missed calls?Just because. You are my boyfriend?I will so shout on you that day you will go and resell the engagement you wanted to suprise me with.
What?!

I can understand you want to hear my voice and all that but hello........I did not choose to ignore your calls deliberately. Find out why,when next I pick it or I call you back.

As for the dressing part. I really don't know how to say this but personally I don't like someone telling me what to and what not to wear.


I don't know what indecency means to you.I would also want to ask if that is her usual manner of dressing or it was just that picture you saw?

Was it a party?Perharps she just dressed for the occassion.

Was it an indoor pix?You know girls wear shorts and tank tops when indoors.Just asking.

As for the give me time part. Bros,don't let that babe give you headache. She is waiting for you to get a job after service,then she will make up her mind. Am a woman. I know how we some of us think,we want some form of security from our man.

That's my humble opinion.

Hmmm.....I can see that a lot has happened.

People insulting each other,making sure the pages are filled with irreleavnt issues,

I can see a lot of fare well posts .
I can also see my name mentioned in some posts,some calling me to bring peace to the thread. And I choose to ask how?

In all these I choose to laugh. Well my absence was not deleibrate per say,just that I have been sooooooo busy ,as in you have no idea how busy I have been.

Today is a saturday that is why I have little time to post some comments.

If anyone here thinks
this is the last time,people will quarrel here,or
the last time people will signout
or the last time people will call me names or
Or maybe expect me to beg people to stop derailing the thread.
Or think you can make the moderators close down this project

Then you don't know this thread and the initiator Carmelion.
I have said it before and I will say it again.

A lot of things would continue to happen here,and in all of it,there is something to learn.

But just incase you were not here when I said it the first time,On repeat!"
THIS THREAD HAS NOT STARTED"

It will start when you start seeing wedding invitations here and every other news associated with a happy married life.

Untill,then watch this space!:8

@nbright ,simpleyeahmee and others who signed out or planning to sign out,see you other threads.Your previous posts would always be there to enligthen those who would read in the future.

@ all my sweet hearts here who sent me mails,hope you got my reply?especially Simanyankibabasmiley.If no,please check your spam box,these stuffs hide there sometimes.

Romance / Re: A Thread for Single Ladies :) by carmelion(f): 4:50am On Apr 13, 2013
^^^ Great message you have over there and I just hope the single ladies here would learn.
Though ,it all boils down to fear of the unforseen and naivity. According to the man,there story happened 18 years ago so you can imagine how young she was.

She must have heard stories of people who married their spouse against their parents wish and later regretted it.

The guy she later married was just a random guy cos the so called 'golden man' they were arranging for her later bailed out but it was already late. Her love was married to somebody. Sadly she lost both ways.

The reason why I shared that story is just so that we would be able to study our partners in our different relationships.

I believe marriage would be sweeter if you marry some one who sees life the way you do,no matter how stupid others see it.
Someone who shares the same passion with you.

You have a passion for dancing and you are a professional dancer but your spouse does not like music,then I wonder what you guys are doing together.


I don't how many people here that sees the show 'Ice loves Coco'.Ice and Coco has been married for over 15yrs.
She used to be a porn star,I don't know about now. But I know she is still a porn model. Her husband Ice T is a gangstar. Tatoos,piercing,e.t.c,name them he has it all.

Am not trying to promote 'bad' things here,I mean I don't like their life style but I looooove their style of marriage. They are two different things and I want mine to be like that.

Say allllll you want about her but her husband like her like that. He follows her to the so-called photo shoot,they have been married for more than 15yrs,but are yet to have Kids Why?She said she was not ready Why?She wants to keep her shape For what?Her so-called career' .And guess what again?her husband is fine with it.

She wears her skimpy and tight clothes and goes around with her husband. He does not care. They are in the bad thing together.

Now She is ready to have kids cos she has been seeing her younger sisters children and she wants to have the experience. Her husband is not really interested in Kids by the way but he still follows her to the hospital ,to take medications.

When they quarrel,you would think they won't comeback,they say all soughts of things to themselves but you know what?They are each others best friend and before you know it,they are back again.

You might want to say,they need to repent. That is very correct but you would be destroying a 15yrs old marriage,If you don't preach to both of them together. They need to change TOGETHER.


I know that in marriage ,changes must occur,but there are some things that are soooo important to us ,so IMPORTANT that we cannot compromise.

It might be your career,
it might be your life style,
it might be your religion,
it might be your sex life,
it might be your eating habit,
It might be your level of hygine
it might be your health ,what ever,

just find someone who would not be in your way!.And that is by marrying someone who has the same life stylesmiley

This is a special message to the ladies.Cos most times,if not all the time,women are the victims.

madridsta007:

The person you eventually marry, will help make you or rapidly mar you.

I'd rather stay happily single than to be marred for life.

Truly the person we decide to spend the rest of your life with has a role to play in your destiny. Either positively or negatively.

I happen to meet an elderly man in his 50's,one of my friends boss in the office. So one day we just started gisting. You know how old people feel young when they are with youths.

We got talking,from one topic to another,untill we started gisting about our Exs.winkI was pinching my friend to close her mouth so that we will not disgrace ourselves in front of this well respected man but she heeded deaf ears.

All of a sudden,the man decided to open up to us, he told us about how he went to the bank one day to withdraw money. Then he heard someone call his name from behind.

He turned but the faces he saw were all strange so he didn't bother. Then he noticed that a lady touched him on his shoulder and called him again' Martins(not real name)

At first he did not recognise her,but looking closely,he noticed it was his Ex,Cynthia(not real name).he had mixed feelings immidiately,he was happy,sad,surprised e.t.c.

Spontaneously,they hugged each other ,not minding that people were staring. Then to his greatest surprise,he noticed that the lady was crying on his shoulders. hmmm...

In order not to create a scene,he pulled her to one corner and tried to find out why she was crying and also console her.

For where?That was when the main cry started.

The lady is married by the way but was one of his girl friends back in the days. In fact the very one he wanted to get married to. But one thing led to the other and they could not marry.

Actually according to him,the lady wanted to marry him but her parents were discouraging her.Her mum wanted her to marry someone else.

So sadly he moved and married his wife.


After he succeded in calming her down, he tried to find out why she was crying,but all she kept saying was 'Martins you have killed me o,Martins you have killed me. In between sobs,by the way.

She later opened up and said that the guy she later married has really pulled /slowed her down in life,especially career wise.

Naturally she was the intelligent type and if encouraged,she would have gotten a Ph.d level by now. But no,her husband happen to fall into the category of those who believes that a woman education ends in the kitchen. How sad.


Her husband stopped her from furthering her education(says it was useless,started accusing her of looking for escape routes to go and cheat)m

With time getting a better/higher job with her certificate became difficult. To worsen things ,her husband was not so lucky as he had an accident that affected his physique.

This made him not to be suitable for his last job so he was laid off and by then she could not go back to school
cos she now has double work of taking care of the children and the sick husband.
Now imagine the hardship this woman was going through trying to cater for the family with her meagre earning.

According to Mr Martins,She looked so unkempt which was one of the reasons why he could not recognise her immidiately. sad

The lady kept saying,"Martins,I know if you were my husband,you would have supported me,you would have pushed me up the ladder".(Martins use to give her exam fees then in secondary school),"Martins why did you leave me?You should have fought to have me."sad

According to Mr Martins,he tried his best to win her from the parents but they(especially the mum)ware strongly against him so he bailed out.

He said that if given a second chance to marry again,he will go back and marry again. He was his best option.


Of course as a married people,there is a limit to what they could do now.So he just gave her some money,then they exchanged contacts.

He promised to keep in touch and know if there is anyway he could help(very risky I tell you)

carmelion: On a very special note,I want to acknowledge a very special set of dolls in the house.They re no other people than those sweet ladies who still have their virginity intact.please have a cup of ice cream on my behalfcheesy.

Be full of pride and guide what you have jealously and make sure you give it to the man who knows its worth.As we approach valentine Feb 14th,please be sensible,valentine doesn't mean sex,there re more sensible ways to celebrate it.

Is your boyfriend telling you to prove your love by opening your legs for him?My dear that guy is an enemy,yes that's what I said,a bid enemy at that.

Once you give it to him that's it,you have joined "others".Be wise.

Hardbody:I get the feeling you are a lesbo trying to recruit young and new entrants into your sinful tendency, am I wrong? Make no mistakes about it, I do not diss your orientation though, I am just voicing my feelings, even if it doesn't sit well with you.

It's not like am bothered anyways,but i don't know how i would be a lesbian and still encourage the bolded.
From your post its very obvious you are still in page 0,sorry about that 'cos you really have plenty pages to read.

However,i hope the guide lines i wrote down there would be of great help to you.I encourage you to read on.The thread promises to teach you alot!,you might want to take your words back.

My second ex was somehow the opposite of the other one. I do his laundry. He did not ask me to,any ways. I just felt like.

But when it comes to cooking,he does not even allow me drop my bag,he will start listing out all the dishes he has been craving for.hahahaha.

If there is no interesting programme to watch,he stays and gists with me in the kitchen while I cook.

But he is a habitual buyer. Once he drives out of the gate to somewhere,am so sure of getting something from him.

Though nothing big,but I appreciate anyone who gives me anything without me asking for it.

He might go out and then the next minute,he would just send airtime to my phone. Most times 1,500,sometimes 400,but I just like the fact that he had me in mind even when we are not together.

Sometimes it might be just cake and biscuits ,or red wine. He would just come back home and say"baby take this is for you"smiley

Ok,maybe am not supposed to write this ,but .......... ,I hope you understand when I say HE IS VERY GOOD. Please save ne the stress of explaining.

Just so that I won't also contradict the purpose of this post,I won't say why and how we parted.

I just hope you understand it when I say "he is the reason why I'd on't like listening to 'SOMEONE LIKE YOU by ADELE'".It's seems I wrote that song with her.

Ok ladies,this is to Simayanki4real and all the sweet guys who has in one way or the other supported us in this threadsmiley

In the spirit of the weekend,just wanna say that in my previous relationships,it was not always bad,as in very bad.

There were sweet moments too.wink


I have never really had surprises like someone covering my eyes and then leading me outside to see a car parked outside, decorated with ribbons,

Neither have I received expensive gifts like gold ornaments or gadgets lilke ipad,galaxy tab,e.t.c


But there were little things that mattered to me.

CARING


One of my ex(es)had his own flaws but he pampered me like a doll. He does not allow me do a thing!.

When he confirms that am coming over to his house,he perpares food for me,serves me,removes the plate.

If I offer to join him in the kitchen,he says no,even to sweep the room,later na problem.

In our 2yrs of dating,I never did any strenous work for him,apart from......,ok,I know you guys understand.lol

When he is doing his laundry,he aks me to bring mine or if am sleeping he will just look for it and wash for me.

He likes attending family occasions with me,anything they are doing in his family. I am always invited.

I rarely attend cos on few occasions I obliged him,I ended up staying alone ,just looking around or pressing my phone; cos he would be busy tending their visitors. I hate crowd sometimes,am shycheesy

Though the only person that knew we are dating was his immidiate elder sister.

We were still doing some hide and seek stuffs for the parents,you know just out of respect.wink

I also remember occasions when I will get so tired from hanging out. Once I complain that I can't climb the stairs,he bends to carry me on his back. He is very huge though,and very very handsome. He was a ladies man

I don't want to write why we parted ways so as not to contradict the purpose of this post.

But I know that early followers of this thread,would understand when I say "he was the one that landed me in the hospital"
