I'd have to start from the very beginning. My parents have been separated since I was six! Both are still unmarried.
My mom took care of her younger sister before she (my aunt) got married. Now that she's married and well to do, my mum expects her to do the same (take care of me).
My aunt's husband on the other hand, has been advising my mum to reconcile with my dad, but my mum does not buy the idea for personal reasons I can't share here. (Pardon me)
Prior to my admission into the university, my mum pleaded with my aunt's husband to help in sponsoring me in the University, to which he complied. I started staying with them about this time too. In her own words, she (my mum) 'wanted me to learn' from my aunt, who happens to be a house wife, as she also didn't want me to be alone (my siblings were in a Bording school).
While I was still in School, I needed money and asked my mum, but she referred me to my aunt's husband, to whom I sent a message (I always feel weird asking relatives for money or favors).
The content of the message(s) was alright, because I spelt out what I intended to use the money for.
While I was expecting a response from my uncle as regards the message I sent him, I began to hear that I was meant to send the messages to "uncle" and it doesn't necessarily have to have his name on it.
I apologized for that but still didn't get the money. Around the beginning of this year, my mum sent a' happy new year' message to him and his reply was "thank you and wish you same pls."
When my mum told me about it, I laughed at her and told myself that 'when you don't want to succumb to his advice, what do you expect?'
I was also happy he didn't reply me that way, but just today sighs! My mom said, send happy Easter message. To make her feel happy (or to avert quarrel), I said ok and sent it o!
His reply was, 'thank you Fortune and wish you same please.'
Guys, please what do you think I did wrong this time? My heart dey beat laidis
I made all the above "corrections" to aid readability. Don't come at me.
To Fortune, don't attach too much meaning to his reply... Focus rather on his actions and body language...
What were the red flags? Are u comfortable talking about them here? If not. You should try and meet up with him and have a proper discussion with him. Ps - Be ready to change the things he saw as red flags if you really still want him, afterwards it's left for him to decide if he still wants future with u or nay Cc elitefosa
Omo, I really wish I can go and beg someone who "dumped" me. Choi! I admire such ladies for their tenacity. Me and my craziness wey go delete your numbers and photos, unfriend you everywhere, and lock up in less than 2 market days. I don't block, just delete reminders and lick my wounds. As emotional, sweet-natured or sensitive I can be, I've got pride. Na man dey beg me, no be the other way round.
No matter how hurting or heartbroken you may be, never beg anyone to take you back. Somethings are meant to break if they ain't strong enough.
Wow... And I truly wish she is as strong willed as you are...
How did you come to develop such amazing pride in yourself.
Very few could boast of such strenght.
I have seen ladies beg though. Just that this one strong
So I was reading a post on copy writing and the Original Poster said something striking.
He said "Gen Z" work smarter than "Millienials"
It got me thinking. In fact, I had to take a look at my two bank accounts.
I almost cried.
I didn't say "God when?" but rather "God why?"
So I want us to settle this once...
Sight real life examples of Gen Zs and Millienials doing well! Be they in Nigeria or abroad from any walk of life. Nigerian examples would be preferred though.
P.S: Gen Z - Those born between 1997 - 2012 Millienials - those born between 1981 -1996
Is she sure he is the right one for her If she is sure he the right one She should keep praying to God to touch his heart and show him the love she has for him of good, peace, joy and everlasting end
The way she feels has a lot to do with love at first sight...
it is very easy to love someone but not being right for them/you.... you see, nobody shows their true self at the beginning of r/ship, you always hide your negative/bad/failed side and/or character. it takes a while for people to be relaxed enough in a r/ship to now show their true nature. many people, when they realize the true nature of their partner's characters and ways, they stick to them because of love, but there are also few people who cant and just prefer to let go, simply because these negative/bad character traits are completely against their own ways of thinking.
love is a feeling brought by both the heart and the mind... and as much as you can love someone, its pretty easy to let go of that person, if they ever do something wrong and/or turn into someone you are against. you just need to surpress your heart's desire and use solely your brains to judge the issue. here is a clue: it doesnt matter how much i love someone, if that person is disrespectful/unfaithful or physically abusive, i will leave her with never ever looking back!
Yea... Abusive r/ship in whatever guise they come are a no no for me...
BigRocky: First of all,she have to make the decision to heal. She have to understand that a relationship is not worth dieing for.
Then everything that brings in memory of the guy should be erase I.e delete his number (very important)his cloths in her possession, pictures they both in etc.
She should be going out,to offload and reload her mind.talk to friends and try out new things
She will be fine eventually.
Hang out more right...
Create new memories...
I Feel so glad I could glean all these from nairaland...
MrBrownJay1: A) why would anyone want to be taken back by someone who doesnt want you? B) why would anyone want to be taken back out of pity? C) as much as you dont have to let go, you have to accept that this person does NOT want you because you are wrong for them. D) the above is probably part of the red flags that had him run away from you
its actually not me...
your point C got me thinking though!
how can a person that has professed love,
then change course all of sudden be wrong for her?
Na, your Point D is not the case truly...
but thanks for stopping by!
a quick question for you...
Have you ever loved before you find it hard to let go?
We're almost hopeless in Nigeria Garri, the latest gold in town? 5 Igbo states are on red Boko Haram still piercing our upper region hearts Bandits spilling blood of ocean
Blood crying out for vengeance from the darkest part Legions released on the land
No more Rest In Peace But Labour in death Hustling from grave for the wickeds' wealth Oh! Red all over the land
What about the trends in the land? Looting 101 Scamming 201 Palliatives diversion 301 Wire Wire 401 Hmmmmm!
Hopelessness seems the last bus stop Hope is hopeless
But FAITH is the substance of things hoped for ... My FAITH looks up to Thee I see light at the end of the tunnel
I wish you can see the new hope I wish you understand it
And then, you'll stand with me Choosing to integrity and honesty Instead of "fast fast" bloody wealth
One love, one blood One life, you've got to do what you should One life, with each other Sisters, brothers One love, but we're not the same We got to carry each other, Carry each other Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I was going through your post in the advert section,
I mean how do you win back someone after breaking their heart?
Here's the summary…
Sam (not real name) met a beautiful damsel in the month of September in the year 2020. That was after the lock down…
Friendship blossomed into a relationship and the relationship blossomed into talks of marriage.
Somewhere along the line, about 8 months into the relationship, Sam saw some red flags he couldn’t cope with and decided that ending the relationship was the only way out.
Though he did not meet any counselor for advice, he just decided to end the relationship with her.
Sam broke her heart by ending the relationship and decided to move on.
But the Damsel wanted him back, she begged and begged but he said NO.
MARKone: It's every where. Importers are not finding it funny now, commercially imported goods would soon be out of the reach of Nigerians with the new increase in import duties, the Naira is weak, almost useless. Diesel is almost 800 Naira per litre, no light. Buhari is in UK cruising, his wife in Dubai shopping.
