Family / Re: Should I End My Marriage by cikadile: 6:24pm On Oct 16, 2012 |
Johndoe100: It never seizes to amaze me, why adults will turn to children for advise. How can unmarried 16 to 28 year old kids be giving advise to these people based on what? The "stolen" sex they have with their boyfriends and girlfriends? Anyway on nairaland, lack of experience has never been a hindrance to expertise. Some of the replies on this thread are hilarious. But then, outta the mouth of babes.... Age does not confer wisdom/maturity always... So you mean people 30 and above should stop posting their problems here cos a child might answer them? What on earth is the matter with our world? |

naptu2: There is a revised latest Vatican mandate on that A woman should try to preserve her faith but if suitors are not of her denomination or even religion, and she wants to be married.....she should go with her husband In a nut-shell It was before the revision that they would almost ex-communicate a girl and her parents for marrying outside her faith.... The reason for the Vatican revision- to follow the biblical injunction, "so that we may be one" |

8ogoegbunam: I admire the catholic church and respect them , though I have my resevations about them, I do not despise them. I am liberal when it comes to religion,I believe that I can marry any lady, as long as we practise the same religion after marriage.I was even ready to marry muslims as long as the lady converts to christianity. Sorry am not fashola or tinubu. They chose the way their families and marriage should be. I believe I should choose mine. |

shaybe baby: I think you need to sit down and think of the vows you took recently. Did you not promise to love each other through and thin? Your faith is but a small part of your marriage. Why are quibbling over who attends what denomination, is it not the same God you both serve? You need to both respect each other's faith and work on a compromise. Your marriage should be based on mutual respect, love and communication. Though I'm not very religious myself but I'm sure the answer to your dilemma lies in the scriptures. My husband doesn't believe in God, I do yet he is one of the most moral and decent persons I've ever met. Do i chuck him for his lack of belief when he is honest, kind and displays a lot of the traits the bible asks us to demonstrate? Don't get caught up in techinicalities. You married her for who she is not because of what church she might be attending. Don't lose sight of the good things in your marriage. 19 likes? People are this different? Faith is a basic component of who we are...if a lady agrees to go to your church to get you to marry her,only to renege on this after the nuptials, I say the marriage is null and void Get an annulment, or divorce or whatever if you cannot handle it, IT IS YOUR FAITH, thankfully there are no kids yet Life is too short to waste BTW, I care that a person is spiritual and good, not necessarily religious But I would never tell a guy I would attend his church and then not do it after the wedding My own would have been not to agree at first, even if it meant calling it quits I think the way his wife went about it is deceitful But with love there is a way, isn't there? But then, love would not lie or deceive a fiance in the beginning like that...cos it is considerate |

mutter: Figures the fact that you earn most of the money does not mean that your husband should not be able to make decisions regarding the money. In a family it is wise for the man and woman to plan together for the future. Oh dear Lawd |

Family / Re: I'm Planning Of Marriage But The Question Is Can 30,000 Salary Sustain Both Of Us by cikadile: 12:19pm On Oct 16, 2012 |
solomto: Someone was complaining smtime ago that 120k a month cnt substain hm and some posters here actually took side wt him. Another also seek ur advice on 90k per month and majority said no while few said yes. Poster pls I beg you, save money and start something......let the girl try too You do not have to marry now It is too small, and you may end up bitter and resentful...jobs are not guaranteed in 9ja you remember? But if you must marry, NO KIDS until your situation improves, you both I mean I assume you are not a 1st child who should be helping his parents and siblings and saving money too instead of looking for who to marry |

Romance / Re: WHAT Is It With The Bad Habit Of Nigerian Girls Asking Men For Money by cikadile: 12:21am On Oct 16, 2012 |
goofie: you men have a point. a lot of women believe that their man is meant to take over their upbringing once they start dating. True, but if a babe now has to do laundry among other things... it is only right that her guy provides her pocket money since she is now a kind of help Double standards are not allowed in life 1 Like |

Romance / Re: What Are The Things That Makes A Girl To Cheat On A Guy? by cikadile: 11:50pm On Oct 15, 2012 |
richarts: Lust, contempt & immaturity... Thats what I think. Girls can testify to it that the times they had cheated on their guy, its becos of one of this three. you are so right also attention seeking....but usually this makes one flirt with other guy(S)and report to boyfriend...to get his attention...it does not lead to all the way cheating Though when a girl resorts to this, it usually means guy has moved on...leaving babe behind |

didara86: Ya, that's my worry as well--- this BEING THE MAN thing I kind of feel you have a problem with this cm difference So no matter the number of forum members who tell you shorter guys are "it", it will always be an albatross if you have a problem with it Forgive the albatross thing, I cringe myself at using the word I like to judge people who use big words...but I could not think of any other apt word...so do really indulge me |
Romance / Re: She Refuses To Wash His Clothes by cikadile: 11:38pm On Oct 15, 2012 |
ladunsky: No worry by the time they clock 35, with no husband, Mentality go change Sharp Sharp chei! So you mean to tell me that in a few years, I would be begging to wash a guy's clothes? I sincerely, totally, as the truth rules the world doubt that..... If I were a super rich Hollywood star, I would be doing wear and throw away But as I am just me, I would have to get my clothes washed, any which was, so telling me to start washing my man's clothes would be close to killing me, I kid you not So even if I get to 40, desperate, I would never want, or opt to wash a guy's clothes in return for his companionship Believe me, I am strong and honest like that Actually, I would rather live single, happy with fewer dirty clothes to deal with....than be married and doing plenty laundry, and probably unhappy at that... I lack focus like that and I have reached 30! |

Romance / Re: She Refuses To Wash His Clothes by cikadile: 11:10pm On Oct 15, 2012 |
marjo: When i got married, it wasn't with the mind that i wouldn't wash his clothes. I used to do the washing every weekend but if he needed to wear a shirt before wash day, he washed them himself. With time - children, work, all sorts of other pressure etc i have stopped. he washes and irons his clothes outside while our son washes his undergarments, hankies etc. Son is away at school and second son can't wash clean enough so i wash them now. we have no issues with this. he doesn't bother with my things and i don't bother with his although sometimes if i am washing for myself and kids he may hand over an odd shirt for me to wash if he needs to use it before the washman comes round. at the end of the day its all about what both of you are comfortable with. He hasn't complained about the system so i presume he's ok with it. Too many people like forming what they cant really perform in real life. i read a lot of posts on NL and am amazed at what people write sometimes - its amazing how being anonymous brings out the dark side in us. Summary; Dont mind those girls. if you surprise them one day and bobos house you will see them scrubbing the floor sef. Well, I would scrub the floor, but would not wash his clothes not even at all...and no forming at all The women who wash clothes for men clearly love expressing their love by washing,and or are compelled to do so, by however means, by their men....so these adult ladies should not be judged for their decisions.... at the same same time, these ladies...and the "compellers" should not insult other adult ladies who choose not to, or could not wash their men's clothes...for whatever reason...this also is a choice None of these makes anyone the perfect spouse |

[quote author=mko abiola][/quote] @ mko abiola thank you.....I appreciate your comment Extravagantly...I ask not for...you sound like you did give some gifts, but not extravagantly...and I see that as no problem Just a bit,I wanted, as a token of appreciation....from someone who begged endlessly to marry me If your story happened to me, I would leave the guy who beat me after wooing me with presents Nobody gets to beat me, except if it was a BSM thing, at least my consent would be there I don't know what I will regret in future, but as of this very moment, I am relieved, and much elusive peace is settling in my soul now Pls tell me if this does not count? That I am happier now, than I have been in the past last quarter? Even though I feel guilty I hurt someone? It is not about what he earns, it is about what he gives, which in my instance is nothing I have never gone back to beg someone I ended things with to take me back, I don't think I will do it now....though I once begged a guy who jilted me to take me back...my 1st boyfriend...he said no then sha....got a babe preggers, married her, and now thinks I am the next best thing after ice cream ..he keeps asking me out, I am guessing to be his mistress, chai! Back to topic, I am wrong not to have shared with him, but I couldn't bring myself to tell him to pls start giving me tokens of love and appreciation It was easier to quit, even though it was tough |
Romance / Re: What Was The Reason Behind Your Breakup? by cikadile: 12:09pm On Oct 03, 2012 |
Thank you ladies, and @engrtee for your concern...God bless I will start by replying @engrtee...I do not think any one, would lie in the cyber world....there is anonymity, and a pool/collection of opinions, plus the jokes....I believe this one can get the best ideas/advice...that said, I was not telling tales Replying @emiye, I gave the main reason that worried me...and I am sure he must have have his complaints, but that is his story to tell...but I broke up with him, cos of the reasons I gave...it does not mean other things were not wrong, this was the deciding factor for me.. Reading my post again, I will modify by saying that I didn't mean he called me once...he would call, in bits, call duration like 2 minutes on the average how are yous, then when you want to talk he hurries off...I complained and he did the 16 minutes...he told me he does not use more than 200 naira air time a day Some days before I broke up with him, he called for 1 plus hours( by then there was major friction, and he called for us to settle)I was so sure it was the MTN bonus thing that he used, though he denied it I cannot ask a guy for things, that is me...but once, after discussing with my close friends, I told him my friends wanted to see my engagement present(s)...he complained about letting friends into our relationship.And still never got me anything...the truth is, my friends encouraged me to be with him, all of them...though they found it hard to keep supporting him as time went on I said he is nice, true, but his stinginess and evasiveness affected me so much that my feelings for him lessened, I started avoiding his calls, and told him I was not into texts...(I mean he would text, "sending you roses from here with all my love"...I swear that when a guy's only gift to you was an imaginary bouquet of flowers, you could go crazy)...so I told him I am not a text person I know I gave up too easily, and that I did not sit him down to tell him, he may have got it, or not if I had done so...but I cannot be responsible for an older than I am fiance's actions like that...I believe men should take charge, and act responsibly..I grew to find out I cannot submit to a man that gave me little cause/incentive to respect him But, I know he is not a bad guy at all, far from it, but he is not the one for me I know it will be a sort of scandal, the ensuing returning of the bride price, and the blame games that will come up, but my mind is made up I think I am too out spoken....can be very stubborn too....just wanted to confess my own flaws too But in that engagement, my biggest wrong doing was saying YES.... In fact people, I would not lie if you have further questions, I just need to talk here and free myself, cos I swear to you all, I feel so bad for him and his family...it must be embarrassing to say the least, having to explain why I am no longer there...my family too, I know they will worry about me getting married ever.....but what I feel the most is RELIEF Thanks for reading my long posts I think I did him him more good by breaking up, cos the way it was, I would have wedded him, and gone ahead to lose all respect for him, cheat on him, or run away from the marriage...and divorces are not easy...and nobody would get why I would divorce a faithful guy... |

Sarah a: my dear if what you wrote truly happened ,oh girl you try oh.some ladies experince more than what you experience but instead of them to quit,they went ahead to marry such men all in the name of the foolish love. Thanks Sis...as God is my witness, it happened...in fact I broke up with him on Sat(3 days ago)....and ran away from home, cos my family will soon hear, and the begging, etc will start...his brother called me tire on Sunday, I refused to pick... I can't tell our family all these, only my friends know,, in fact I came here on Thursday last week, b4 telling him it's over on Saturday trying to open this as a thread, so that people would give me their advice, and opinions, as to whether it was normal or not...but I did not know, still don't know how to start a thread I really need guys' views, and my fellow sisters', take on the matter |

I am a professional, earn some money, at least enough for my needs I got engaged in January, to a guy about 4 years older, a banker... he says he loves me....that he will make me love him, etc I agreed..from Jan till date, he never has sent me recharge card, has never bought me a present, when I traveled to visit him, he asked, "you have transport money right?" Of cos I said yes...on arrival to his town the 1st, and other times, he took me to his home in a keke. (my 1st time to visit, I swear) He also never gave me an engagement present, not even a ring He never tips people, and wanted to kill an old keke driver over 10 or 20 naira change Has DSTV but never subscribes cos he says he gets back late from work, and so won't waste money...not even when I visit does he subscribe, and I love watching football One time I did our trad wear shopping, da vida for 2 it was 7400, my alert came, it had 7400 exactly! I wanted to change my tires, he said I should not do that without telling him, on D day I text him, he texts, "ask for Michelin bla bla bla!" I really thought he wanted to for the 1st time spend money on me I was going for an update, had to fly, register, and book a hotel room for 2 weeks- a big venture, even though I work,it was not easy.. I was delayed cos I was looking for money, he calls and goes like, "why didn't you go yst? After everything he gives me 0 naira He used to send me call me sms until I said it was not cool He never called to gist or talk...only once did his call last for 16 minutes... He knew my phone was bad, he only told me to buy a nokia He twice drove my car till just close to reserve, I mentioned I was scared my fuel wld not be enough to take me to work, both instances he told me, "you don't know the car you have, toyotas can run on reserve for days!" I don't know how to ask a guy for things, I expect them to give me if they want...but this guy just never did...it goes on and on I know I am up to 30, I know he is way less than 40, I know men are scarce, I called off the engagement last week... In time we will return bride price, etc...I am just happy now, there is very little to give back Guys, it is good that a babe works, etc so is independent...but when you give zero present to a woman before marriage, it sucks...I remember he said he wld make me love him as much as he did me...he only made my love go from 40% to less than 5%...and I had to run In fact, his declarations of love began to sound like a joke to me I became more intolerant of his flaws, and before long, I said my good-bye Maybe some women are too materialistic, but some men are too tight fisted Trust me, during my house job days, I used to give my then boyfriend (not same guy) one third of my salary as he had no job I even bought a small gas cooker for his (this banker that is) parents' home, as these old people were cooking with a tiny stove...I am just trying to establish that I am not a stingy babe, or a gold-digger May none of you women experience what I did The day of my intro should have warned me...He came to borrow my car to use and bring over his parents to my house..(his car was, and still is at the mechanic's for repair, from that Jan till date o..I never did see the car meanwhile)...my snobbish mind felt he should have gotten a cab..I refused sha, it was gonna be a bad impression So guys, is this strange to you too? I need answers P.S...he was a faithful, nice enough guy, but meeeen, I could not go ahead..I was spooked off but I now wonder, is it that he wanted to marry a professional he would not have to give money, or in my case, spend a kobo on? Or that he did not have it...hearing now that UBA HND people are not paid much...but I mean, not even to give a little? This one pass me o 4 Likes |
Romance / Re: A Little Word Of Advice For Searching Ladies by cikadile: 7:32pm On Oct 02, 2012 |
Tosinville: OP, thanks jare! for them, them no dey know o! until time don go finish. 1.I wanna be married, some day....to a guy I am attracted to, for whatever reasons 2.Some guys asked me to marry them in the past...3 of them very seriously, I said no to them, cos I had my reasons 3. I have been engaged twice, but along the line found out I was getting married for the wrong reasons...mainly worried I am getting older, so I called off the 2 weddings, the most recent being last week 4.Most people in 2 and 3 are all married with a kid or 2,got married immediately and they ALWAYS give me invitations to their weddings and naming ceremonies...maybe to show me what I missed or not 5. I may or may not meet the guy, I may end up alone, sadly, but I hope not...but I will never regret saying no to these guys above...and would not marry them if they came now and asked... What I regret is hurting the 2 fiances by bailing on them, and the hurt their families felt, and are feeling SUMMARY - it is better to be alone and happy, or semi-happy, than to be married to the wrong person and be abjectly unhappy, solitude can never be loneliness...also any guy I say no to who is now saying "look at me now", I don't begrudge you your happiness, I don't envy your wife, I am happy you moved on and are happy, I may even be sad Mr Right is still elusive, BUT I would NEVER REGRET saying no to you, cos that was me choosing happiness to desperation...and more importantly, that was me saving you from getting married to a woman who would not be true to you....that was me trying to be a good person I hope people understand me |
