It is up to a man to express his love for his wife one way -this way- or the other.

It is also up to another to allow his wife go through all the stress there is in the world, while he maintains his traditional man posture as she crumbles under the weight. However, he shouldn't come complain to us that 5 years after contracting the marriage, the wife has started looking like his mother... angry
My dear, this hasn't got anything to do with love in the first place, but rather necessity. To even mention love in this context is akin to saying the man should completely absolve himself of performing what he perceives to be "feminine" tasks.

Women need to make a stand for themselves right from the onset of their relationship what's acceptable and what isn't, otherwise they simply enable archaic thinking from the menfolk.

Fantastic people of NL, here's another topic for us to discuss.....

"Is there anything wrong with a husband going to the market for his wife...?"

Let's hear your views
Why would you even think there's anything wrong with a man "going to the market for his wife"? Will his diick shrivel up and fall off if he does?

Prior to getting married, he never went to the market to shop for himself as a bachelor?

Only a pre-historic, or self-centered wicked man, or a combination of all of the above will assume this should be a topic worthy of discussion.

it is PARENTS responsibility to cater for their children's needs, and not "elder brothers". if an elder brother can help once in a while then fair enough, but if you expect him to settle you every months while he clearly says he AINT got the money, then yes thats begging, and he has the RIGHT to complain endlessly about it.... as if being elder means you CANT be broke?! NONSENSE

stop trying to shift the issue here, and you shouldnt even have opened this thread, since you make your own money... "supposedly".... as we can clearly see that spending on small things such as Tfare and recharge card is an issue for you.
MBJ go easy on the girl...

@OP: Do yourself a huge favour by taking a long walk away from that "relationship" of yours and don't ever look back.

Yeah, off limits. The blood cells are 'C" in shape and not "S" otherwise they have the same characteristics though doctors say the "C" is somewhat stronger than the "S".

Again, the "C" trait is found much more in the Caribbean, so you can guess where I truly come from wink grin but in the African continent, it's found more in Ghana.

There are other funny shapes/alphabets actually. I didn't realize this too until I retook the test in UK and had to go for for counselling. I thought the Jamaican woman attending to me was counting A, B, C...when she was listing the other alphabets that existed. lol

Does the issue stem from your genotype?

I am AC and tend to have this issue during pregnancies or when I overwork myself but it normalizes once I start my iron supplements, take enough greens and give myself enough rest.

Pls take enough greens and rest well. I'm sure you'll be just fine.
You've just made me do a quick search on AC genotypes.

AC? Didn't even know they existed. So does that mean when choosing spouses, those with AS genotypes should be off limits for AC's? I suppose so...

Ladies, was told my iron is low even though i have been on iron suppliment....and the doc is planning to have me go on BC (Mirena or nexplanon)
I'm not really a fan and it's so confusing and draining.
I'm so getting twisted with the side effects I read about (weight gain, mood swing, depression) etc
I eat healthy so not sure what is going on.

EfemenaXY, Chillisauce, Kimoni, damiso, Edwife etc
I read somewhere or was told long ago (can't remember which), that we - most West African ladies - tend to be anemic anyway, but pregnancy exacerbates the condition. Also, having really heavy flows during your monthly cycle sort of "worsens" it. Don't worry, I've been there too. Infact my Iron levels were so low at one point I was put on an intense 4 month course of Ferrous Sulphates. You'll know when it gets bad 'cos you suddenly get this craving for really dry, dusty stuff - a condition called "PICA".

I don't know about BC (Mirena or nexplanon) as I've never been put on them, but what I do know is that increasing your intake of dark green vegetables should help, plus Iron rich foods like red meat, plantains, etc.

With the side effects you've just mentioned, I'd be worried too if I were in your shoes. Why not seek a second opinion? You never know what the result could be. In the meantime, keep eating clean, exercising and getting as much rest as you can.

FamilyRe: Pls Come In And Judge This Case BTW I And My Man by EfemenaXY: 9:43am On Apr 17, 2016
I'll never understand how some women reason.

You're in a relationship. Not yet married. You've been smart enough to ask while dating, your man's attitude towards money. He's been forthright in his response to you. You obviously don't like it, but at least you know where you stand now.

Why not leave the relationship now while you can? And find someone else who's on the same frequency as you regarding money matters?

He isn't going to change overnight - so you better get that bit straight. If, you do decide that you can live with attitude towards money, then good luck.

But pls don't come back here under a different moniker, x years later with y number of kids to berate your "stingy" husband.
FamilyRe: How Do I Tell My Wife by EfemenaXY: 9:32am On Apr 17, 2016
ponkitibobo:
My friend is in a deep matrimonial sheet. I know some Thomases will not believe am routing for my friend. Anyway I will report the matter the way it is. And serious advice is solicited because life is involved.
My friend met Cynthia (an o level holder) during his days in the university. They parted ways wen my friend was about to graduate and Cynthia was not too serious about life. Fast forwarded to 2015 after parting for over 20yrs. Both have married. One thing led to the other they got connected back thru a friend who gave my friend Cynthia no.
My friend discovered from Cynthia (on phone) that she was having matrimonial issues. She has bn unable to have a child ( though not wedded) and her husband has gotten 2 children with another woman outside. She was in this trauma when my friend obtained her no. Her husband have sent her parking.This generated some sympathy in my friend. She initiated a vist and my friend granted. It was an outstation visit. That night she told my friend that her husband for over 4 yrs rarely have intimacy with her. May be thrice or four times in a year.
Cutting the long story short , they made love that night. Unprotected sex, despite d fact that he bought condom , he got carried away and did not wear it.
The lady got pregnant, ( no controversy about who is responsible cos the lady convinced us by swearing. She even said that if she knew she can conceive she would done it outside and leave her husband)
Issue of abortion is out. Last week the lady got delivered of a beautiful baby girl.
My friend has bn financially supportive. No more sex with her except that one that caused the pregnancy.
The issue is how should he handle this matter from here. Should he inform his wife about it. Or Neglect the woman or what ? Pls ur advice is needed. Because of my friends integrity the whole matter is between my friend, I and the lady. Pls ur advice is highly needed.
Mod kindly push it to FP for more response. Its an emergency pls
Lalasticlala abi wetin b ur monicker....wen less important issues like "Buhari is opening a bottled water all by himself" make the FP but mine because I no dey ur club abi. U no won push am go FP. Why not break this jinx for me once and for all
First of all, this "friend" of yours hasn't got a shred of decency in his bones, but rather is a low-life-two-faced-scheming-coward lipsrsealed

Secondly, he should free his soul and do the decent thing by informing his wife that not only did he get a married woman knocked up, he's also been secretly funding his love child (probably with his wife's money or their joint funds). And while he's on his confession spree, he should admit to Cynthia's husband that she (Cynthia), is raising another man's seed under her husband's roof.

Finally, this "friend" of yours should advice his wife to quickly get herself checked out at the nearest STD clinic for HIV and other sexual nasties he's exposed her to. I mean Cynthia's husband has been with several women, Cynthia herself probably with several partners, and same thing with your friend. So many mix of bodily fluids finding their way to the unsuspecting wife.

Tufiakwa.

Mindfulness:
Whatever rocks their boat. If they desire a rich man, then so be it.
I wasn't looking for money when I was single.

I wanted a man who would respect and understand me, someone who respects himself, someone who tries to be the best he can be, someone who would be a caring father, someone who is smart and with whom I can have interesting and inspiring conversations, someone who is independent, someone who is honest and trustworthy, someone who values family, someone who is relaxed and enjoys life as much as I do, someone who appreciates art and literature, someone who is interested in politics, economics, traveling and foreign cultures, someone who is fun and has a good sense of humor, someone who likes to socialize but also lets me have time on my own, someone I can cook with together, someone who is open-minded, someone who loves to develop, someone who is not only into my appearance but who wants to know my soul and connect on a deeper level and OF COURSE someone who is handsome and attractive.

I didn't want a jobless and lazy man but money was not what I needed either. I have my own.




I am yet to meet a man who runs from a rich woman. I have never met such a man.



Not my business. As you make your bed ...

SirShymexx:
Loool.

I guess you've never had a partner higher than you. grin

A chic with power is a control freak and any time you get into any tiff, she's going to remind you of everything wrong with you and ya life. grin

My Ijebu chic won't turn into that type of monster cos we're from the same background, and I would've vetted her properly before getting involved with her. Yes, folks do change but she definitely won't change into a control freak.
Meaning you do have issues with successful women with higher earning power than yours.

A self-confident man who truly believes in himself won't be fazed by a woman's wealth. There is a lot you don't understand about women.

A man who truly loves and understands his woman would know the right buttons to push to "bend her to his will". I'm not referring to emotional abuse / exhibition of controlling tendencies from such a man, but rather, a man who absolutely connects with her. His soul mate. If the connection, feelings, mutual understanding, and love are reciprocal, you'll find that it works both ways between such a couple - i.e the woman also knowing and understanding what make her man tick.

Celestial PSA (Courtesy sukkot):

This is a message to all the uncouth, bitter, insolent, and illiterate overgrown village kids with daddy issues in this section (you know yourselves, even under ya alternate handles): you can rant all you want, abuse ya mums, cry as much tears as you can, and throw all kinds of hissy fit on the thread – but please don’t quote me. I’m not responsible for ya bitterness and daddy issues and, I’m not ready to baby-sit overgrown kids. I’m not ya dad. If you’ve any issues, go look for ya dad and straighten things out with him. Quote me and you won’t get a reply.

As for the sensible ones – you can shoot. I’m here to have fun and read interesting inputs for comic relief. grin
What a rant! Is Shymexx being emotional?? cheesy cheesy

You can't call for objectivity if you, the thread starter is anything but. You're also adopting a hardline stance here and being quite antagonistic to those whose views differ from yours, Shymexx. Tut...tut.

Anyway, back to topic - I kind of get where you're coming from but like all things in life, it's never pure black or white. Plus, the social economic situation of an environment plays a huge part in shaping the opinions of those who live within it. Take Nigeria for example. We all know that the economy is tough. Has been for decades now but it's gotten worse with each passing year. So the natural instinct of those who've only ever known / lived a hard life, would be to look for a means of escapism. That's normal and applies to both sexes. That's why it seems ladies living there wouldn't give prospective suitors a second glance unless they're convinced such men have enough earning power to get them out of poverty, to live at the very least, some semblance of a comfortable life. There are also men over there who would not want to get involved, much less marry a woman who they feel will be over dependent on them financially. At the extreme end of the spectrum, you do have young men willing to marry much older ladies as long as they're guaranteed to live a comfortable life from the union (Abuja runz boys perhaps?). So you see, the point I'm making here alludes to my earlier assertion of life having shades of greys and not strict, clearly defined borders as you put it in your opening post.

Secondly, there are women out there who are willing to marry a man with nothing to his name, so long as he's got prospects. These women marry for love (I remember you once mentioned you don't believe in love beyond that shown within your immediate family), and are willing to start from 'scratch' with their spouses to build a good life with, together. You'll find that such women look beyond the exterior / book covering e.g physical attributes such as height, colour, looks, etc and focus on the actual 'content' as someone on here rightly mentioned.

Chronic ignorance is a crime.

I had all my boys via normal delivery. For my last pregnancy, my daughter's head just didn't engage. Her position most times was transverse. After waiting nearly 15 years for my beautiful princess, was I going to risk losing her life and mine because of some backward notion of what a a strong" woman is? No way.

Sure normal delivery will be the preference most times, but in critical life or death situations, let common sense (a.k.a C-Section) prevail pls.

Yes, normal delivery is painful but once your baby is out you quickly forget the pain. But C-Section? Arrgghhh!! That took me weeks to recover. I'm never going there again jor. I nor get power.

Kudos to all mums out there. Normal delivery and / or C-sectioners. smiley
