IyanuDeb: Someone posted this in one of my discussion groups( anonymously ),,surprisingly different opinions were given because I thought there is only one answer to this kind of problem, let me hear yours though
I am a 29-year-old lady, I got married 6 months ago. Everything is going so well and my husband is everything I could ask for, but I have a small problem. In my year 1 in school, I had fallen in love with a guy in 300level, and I got pregnant, he initially was talking about how we were going to handle it, then a few weeks later he disappeared, till today I don’t know what happened to him, I don't know if he dropped out or if he died, I just don’t know. I couldn’t tell my parents I got pregnant in school. I know how they were struggling to send me to school so I confided in my roommate and she advised me to terminate the pregnancy. With the help of another coursemate, we found this nurse that was willing to help us out, and so I did it. All I could remember was blood, I was just seeing blood everywhere and I passed out. I woke up in a hospital where the doctor told me my attempt to terminate my pregnancy has destroyed my womb and may never be able to conceive. I asked my friends what happened and they said I was bleeding so much they had to rush me to the hospital. I cried and forgot about it. My husband is already listing out baby names and I don’t know how to tell him I might never be able to have children for him. My husband is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Please advise me, what should
Why will you hide such thing from him. This is purely wickedness to the person you claim you loved.
Do you know that if you continue hiding it from him you are actually ruining his life, come to think of it what of If he finds out maybe a spiritualist reveals it to him what will become of you.
Please tell your husband the truth and accept the consequences.
The man who took her out refused to pay the bill and it led to an argument between the two of them as he stormed out of the establishment and tried to leave her behind.
She followed him to the car park and pleaded with him to settle the bill that her phone was dead if not she would have paid herself.
He, instead told her to drop her iPhone as payment for the phone and said that she was embarrassing herself
The man queried her for eating food of N12,000 and she said that she can even eat that of N50,000 and it is not a problem, as she would pay for it.
The young lady asked him not to blow the situation out of proportion, saying that she just needed to call someone and it will all be sorted out.
A waitress who attended to them in the restaurant could be seen standing behind the lady, waiting for the payment while the two continued the verbal exchange.
When the man insisted on not helping her to pay for the meal, the lady regretted and noted that she made a mistake by agreeing to go on a date with him.
Just a date, seeing this for the first time is a red flag to the man. if the man has the intention to further the relationship or to marry her he wouldn't continue even if the guy is rich or broke. No man wants a consumer as a wife or girlfriend.
To be a minister and a vice presidential candidate to Obi which one is better now. Assuming he accepted to be Obi's vice nothing on earth would have stopped them from winning, he would have been the VP today but pride did not allow him now he wants to accept to be minister.
Kobojunkie: 1. So, the woman should live what amounts to a tortured existence as a nag in the name of marriage? I would rather vote she quit the marriage entirely.
Quitting her marriage is not the right thing. You guys self any little issues in marriage you guys will rush and tell the person to quit.
Her case is a simple case, she needs somebody that will talk sense into her husband. She should look for the person her husband respects so much and narrate everything to him in order for the person to talk to her husband, with that the man will change.
There's something I noticed about the lady, she finds it hard to speak up in her marriage, she should learn to align the wrong doings of her husband to him when necessary and stop being soft. No be one person alone dey love for marriage, the love should be mutual.
A man refused to take up his responsibilities starting from relationship to marriage she kept quiet didn't complain. It's very wrong does she want to kill herself.
Kobojunkie: 1. LOL... you think say na everyone get time and mind to pressure another adult into doing what adults ought to know to do? That job is meant for his father and mother, not for a wife abeg!
2. Life is what is not a bed of roses — marriage is rather an agreement and a choice.
Understand this, there are some men that doesn't know there right and there are some that are naturally lazy they can't do anything except some one pushes or pressurized them if not they wouldn't go out of their comfort zone.
If the lady don't pressure the husband to go out and look for job or money who will do it for her. Most men hustling today doing jobs that they know on their own can't do it but are doing it because they can't face the pressure of their wives at home.
She should pressure her husband so that he can take up his responsibilities as a man and she should learn to speak out to her husband and stop being soft.
Giftedhands45: I have to join this forum to post this tonight.
I'm in my early thirties, my husband is just two years older than me. My husband has always been neglecting his responsibilities even before we got married, but I was seeing it as he doesn't have a better job and a struggling guy whom we can both join hands together to build each other. I endured everything with him. I have always supported and provided without complain. Since last year my husband lost his job, since then, he has refused to look for any other source of income. Even when he had a job, he always have one story or the other to tell about his monthly salaries. So, he still doesn't provide. Once, there's nothing in the house, he will keep watching because I can't watch my two children Starve. I will try everything, even call friends, families and borrow. He doesn't care how I borrowed and how I paid.
Now, he wakes up every morning and still go back to sleep. Whatever I asked him, he don't always have. He's response always is ''I don't have money '' I am the only one sourcing out everything in this house, I don't have a job as well, just struggling up and down with a business I do.
There's no food, school fees, bill, everything, he will ignore. I can't watch my children suffer. So, I keep struggling without any help. But he eats food and uses everything in the house with us. He wouldn't provide, but he can use them once they're available. Our house rent will soon expire and he has no plan towards That. The previous one I paid, but presently, my business is down
Lately, I've been thinking. I've never cheated since I entered this marriage, but If I keep struggling all myself like this, my children will suffer. I feel, I need someone who loves me and willing to support me as well. My children are too used to their father, it borders me if I separate them from him.
Leaving a marriage because he's not taking responsibilities, does that make me a bad woman?
What could make a man to be very comfortable not providing for his family but wouldn't want to loss the said family?
Have you ever been in my shoes, what would you advise me?
You don't pressure your husband that is why you keep murmuring inside you because you are too soft. Sit your husband down and tell him you can't continue to be struggling in your marriage he should look for something to do.
Then you every morning make sure you pressure him to go out to look for money don't let him be ie don't give him space, with that pressure he wouldn't be any more comfortable to stay in the house. As you are pressuring him make sure you don't abuse him.
Remember marriage is not a bed of roses there are times things will go well and There are also times when it will not go well so don't take because things are not working to leave or divorce your husband.
Business is full of insincerity that is why I don't like it. By what this man says it means that Nigeria we now depend on dangote for petrol. They purposely refused to make the nations refineries to work.

MetaBroadband: Good morning mature men and women in the house. Please I need your help on this topic.
My Fiancee told me about how her biological dad abandoned her and her mum after getting her mum pregnant.
Her mum later married another man who adopted her as his child.
Now she's grown and I've proposed to her, I wanted to go for her official introduction and list collection.
Would it not be nice to hear the biological father's opinion? Should I just ignore the fact that the man is still alive and proceed with the marriage arrangement?
Although she said I should not bother about that, but this is Nigeria and as an Akwa Ibomite I don't think it's proper. Although she's against me trying to find out about the man's opinion. Should I care?
What can you say about this?
Note: she only told me that the man abandoned them, but what if it was her mum that actually took her away?
Sometimes stories like this come out to be lies or they might be hiding something from you.
don't only hear their own side of the story. I will advise you to go find out your self either send your brother or father or any member of your family that you trusted to go see the father or meet any member of her fathers family to find out things your self without your fiancee or her mother/step father knowing. It is very important don't neglect the father.
Don't go and inherit what you can not come out of In the name of marriage.
Any spouse that is protective to his or her phone and that can't reveal he or her phone or ATM passwords to their partner is guilty of cheating and can not be trusted.
Allowing your partner to know your phone and ATM passwords shows that the both partners trust themselves. There's nothing wrong if a woman or man tries to go through their spouse's phone.
No now responsibilities can be the cause, because they don't have it frequently. If the married people understand the mysteries about sex they wouldn't deny their partner of it.
There's a deep mysteries about sex, it unite the couple. Lack of it in marriage today is making many couples to divorce because there's no bonding and this bonding comes through sex.
Dicado: You are totally wrong. There are many factors that affect one's sexual urge of which stress is one of them. Check this out, why do most rich women become sugar mummies to younger and active sexual partners? The answer is simple, due to a limited physical stress. But check out marriages where women deny their men sex, they're either doing all the chores plus taking care of their babies plus their baby adult husband, working 20 hours everyday etc.
Some factors are medical conditions. Some people especially women lost total pleasure in sex in their mid 30s and instead feel pain every single sex they have.
Some other factors are age. Most women fake their ages, so by age, you will begin to only feel sexual urge once a week until it becomes once a month, etc. as a woman ages.
Other factors are lack of love to even ignite urge in women
I don't think all this factors you made mentioned here are the reasons except they're not healthy. This married people don't bastardized sex unlike the single people. Some sets time table when to do it either one or two times a week even some goes by one or two times a month, so they don't have it frequently that you will tell me it is stress that is making them to deny their partners their conjugate right.
There is something about life, when you're very use to something you will find it no more attractive or get tired of it. So some of this people because of their excessive sexual practices when they were still doing boyfriend and girlfriend relationship eventually make them to get tired of the act in marriage.
Remember some of them might have dated for years before they finally get married and this things is happening to them in their early and late thirties not finding pleasure in sex saying it is stress which is very wrong.
Most women who do sugar mummies with Younger men are women who were not much exposed to sex when single got married to a man who has likely used all his energy in the act when single and age have cutoff with him he now find no pleasure In it .
Indulging into sexual practices or many sexual practices when you're not married as a man or woman will make you get tired or not finding pleasure In it when you eventually get married. I heard many couples complaining that their partner is denying them sex which is not right.
This has been the situation of many women which results to them denying their husbands sex. Come to think of it I have never heard any woman complaining that her husband is denying her sex.
And looking at it, this men and women aren't up to fifty years finding no pleasure in sex because they have done it severally when they were single and have lost all the joy and sweetness in It and now it is affecting their marriages today.
My dear single brothers and sisters try to abstain from sex for the sake of your future marriage so that you and your partner can enjoy it without no one denying each other of the process or getting tired of doing it or finding no pleasure In doing it.
Sex is something that God ordained for marriage for the partners to be bonded as one flesh. When says the singles to flee from it he has a reason because he created it.
Am married for 6 years with two kids. Some months ago, my wife started denying sex so much that we hardly have 2 times in a month. Because of this, I no longer disturb her this days cos it's better to let her be than to be rejected since most times I expected her to say no or give an excuse or the other which am always about 90 percent right about.
This days, I don't feel attracted to her sexually anymore. I have never cheated on her but this days, the thought of doing so is gradually creeping in. Have tried talking to her about this but no change. I don't want to start what extra marital affair but am tempted to.
I need your advise guys.
Learn to play with your wife in the process you will find your self doing it and don't be demanding it from her.
kyber: This Is The Kind Of Past Women Want You To Forget(Pictures)
Never !!!
Whether you are a man or a woman your past matters a lot. A man can have a terrible past of May be he was a ritualist, murderer, arm rubber etc. Same way to the woman she might have a past of being a prostitute, lesbian or any of the wayward Life style.
But is it the choice of any man or a woman to accept them as a partner. One thing about this past is that if any partner gets to know about it, it kills the trust they have for their partner completely whether they have changed or not.
And if you say you have changed you will have to prove it till eternity.
My advice to everyone here both Man and woman no matter how hard or sweet life is to you try never to damage your future In the name of I'm living my life.
Nigeria has failed as a country. If this money was shared to every citizens it will affect people's lives positively more than the so called census. Bad leadership ruining the nation. When are we going to speak in one voice to stop this evil. When, when?
Saviola86: So today I had to call my resident pastor to order.
I am a 30yrs old guy and in a relationship with a lovely lady of 25. It's been 6 good years together building and improving ourselves.
I come from a family where nobody mounts pressure on anybody especially on marriage issue. My parents are so liberal that they trust our judgements and allow us to marry from anywhere we find love despite fact that we are igbos.
I and my fiancee have been through different stages of life because she was 19 when we met, I was a dead broke ass graduate then without a job and still going from one interview to the other. I was so broke that my young fiancee then was the one giving me money to go for the interviews (she was running her mom's store then). Aside that she would bring food and sometimes get me clothes. When I say I was broke, I mean totally broke
God did it I secured a job of 60k a month and a year later got a more improved job of 100k. I don't drink and don't spend recklessly, I was able to save and began a POS business which my fiancee 20yrs as at then was running for me in her mom's store while I was working. To Cut long story short, my fiancee is in her 300L now in school while I have ventured into other business and I can say I make about 500k monthly combined.
On reason why I caution my pastor, in church I am one of the youth leaders and a key figure and most of my friends or mate in the ministry are married and my resident pastor took it upon herself to always use me for jokes or call my name from the alter to go and marry.
You'd here bro sososo go and marry and the congregation will laugh, during meeting you will hear word like don't be like bro sososo who wants to become a grandpa bachelor.
Once any member marries you will hear bro sososo we are waiting ooooo.
Like I don't find that funny, she is mounting unnecessary pressure on me which I don't like. Will she be the one to take care of my family?
Sometimes she goes as far as introducing a sister in the church to me.
So today I had enough, called her after service and told her my mind. I know she will feel disappointed but for my mental health I needed to put a stop to that rubbish.
My friends in church are married and to be sincere they look like shadow of themselves.
My fiancee is in school, she was there with me during tough times, she built and grew with me and even in school she is also learning a trade and preparing for life after school. We agreed to marry immediately after she graduates (next year) and so far everything is going as planned
Why on earth Will you date a girl for solid six years and not marry her and you are happy and call yourself a church leader. My brother your pastor is indirectly telling you to stop fornication his not pressuring you anything.
It is very dangerous to serve God with a sinful Life. There's a reason why God delivered us see this below:
Luke 1:74-75 (KJV)
74: That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
75: In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
I'm Fadila. I'm the fifth born in a family of four girls two boys.
The thing is, I have breast ptosis. Why are women with this condition shamed even when it's not something they have power over. I have had this condition ( still do) for has long as I can remember. It's been like that even when I was much younger, though I'm trying to better it. So, I don't know why someone should be shamed for something he or she have no control or power over. There's this erroneous misconception about having this condition. I won't it, but it's hogwash anyway. I'm pained because of what has been said to me and thought about me because of this. If I remember them, I feel so bad.
If you're one of those who abuse/bodyshame or shame anyone having this, you better desist from it. Just stop it! What would you gain doing that? Instead of shaming the person, why not profer solutions or remedies you think can better the condition? Why not that?
And if you're one of those still believing the erroneous misconception about having this condition, the earlier you stop believing in that the better for you.
Are you a woman here with this condition? Have you ever been shamed for it? How did that make you feel? How did/do you handle the situation?
And if you're a man here that has insulted someone with this condition, tell us why you did that.
Thanks!
My dear you are okay stop complaining about your body. You are beautiful and there's a man that will love everything about you completely. So stop disturbing your self.
politicians. Magnus Abe is the contractor that built that Court edifice. Wike gave Abe the contract to build the court complex. While Tinubu was using him Abe to hinder Amaechi in Rivers state, so finally the three of them have succeeded in fighting one man Rotimi Amaechi.
Yugoslavia247: Women or gals who love their father so much can give a husband alot in Marriage.
1 They already understand loving a man truly and even unconditionally. 2 A gal that buys gift for her father will understand that spending your money on your husband is normal 3 They have less entitlement mentality 4 They show high emotional stability. 5 They already experienced the love from their father so they are very considerate and respectful. 6 They already understand the power of love and having Daddy love. 7 They work hard because they already learnt it from their papa. 8 They are smart and intelligent. 9 They have the right perception of feminism. Which is competing with men to achieve goals and not depending on man when it suits you and manipulative entitlement when it pleases you. 10 They are good friends. 11 They easily understand a guy and know what's up. 12 They cry when hurt 🤕. They love fully. Daddy 🐶pet
Please this is my observation. Don't question it. There are exceptions though.
You can repair your relationship with your parents today.
Forgive and forget Move on so life will move ahead too.
This is exactly how my sisters they do, they are generous in nature. Some of them are married but they still like spending on our Dad and also on the brothers which one is married and I am the only one single.
They can do anything for us irrespective that we have our own and their husbands are experiencing the love also, always thanking God for marrying in to my family.
Marvellsmart: I just found out last night that my husband to be is ga.y. Like he is into men I stumbled upon his phone yesterday night and saw his chats with his best friend, the supposed best friend that returned from South Africa because of our wedding next week. We have planned our wedding next Saturday, everything is set. We have dated for four years and never for once did I suspect that he was into men In the chat, he was professing love to his best friend. Telling him how he has missed him and his pen!s. How he had enjoyed last night with him, I even saw my fiance nπdes in their Whatsapp. I am losing it, please help me I went to his house for the weekend, on Saturday, he had left me and returned late at night without knowing he was going to have s.ex with his best friend I just left the house this morning without him knowing cause he is a banker and he leaves home early I left his door open, packed all my properties and haven't talked to him He has been calling me since but I am not taking his calls. I couldn't concentrate in work today What should I do? Please help me I love this man so much, he has been a blessing, and I am pregnant for him, but then, why this?? Should I cancel the wedding? Should I confront him? I'm confused I want to run m.ad.
You dated him for 4yrs you couldn't detect anything from his life style, that's so bad. Maybe you were carried away by love.
If you don't want to live all your life in depression cancel the marriage but if you can cope or tolerate the gay in him as a flaw continue with him. Know this that gay or lesbianism is an abomination and a curse to whoever indulges in it.
If you don't want to have a generation or start your own family on a curse foundation the decision is yours to make now it is very early.
