Can a 33 years old lady be raped 4 times by the same man without complaining to any body including her sister ? Na!!! even an underage knows her way to the police station Nigeria.She is up to something crazy. |
leisuretym:MAN are you ready to marry her NOW. If YES go tell her parents and if NO i will advise u leave her alone. Because parents these day do not value all these boy friend/girl friend stuffs . They want serious relationship the will lead to marriage for their children. So make up mind and propose marriage to her as soon as possible. Or else she moves on . |

Even when you find your soul mate, maintaining a relationship takes time, patience and commitment. In reality, the notion of finding one‘s true love, along with other legends surrounding love and relationships, can be tricky, especially if you don‘t distinguish fact from fiction. To help you do just that, here is clarification on 10 commonly held misconceptions about love, marriage and relationships. Myth No. 1: Every person has one true love or ”soul mate” Truth: A person can have more than one soul mate. The possibility that there are several potential suitable mates for each of us diminishes the romanticism of finding that perfect Mr. or Ms. Right. And that may be why many people hold firm to the belief that there is one true love out there for them, somewhere. ”It‘s possible to have more than one soul mate,” says Audrey B. Chapman, a Washington D.C.-based relationship expert and author of Getting Good Loving (Agate, 2004). ”You can have different soul mates in order to have different experiences and at different levels into your life.” Myth No. 2: Your ideal mate is someone with a personality similar to your. Truth: While it‘s helpful to have a lot in common with your significant other, maintaining one‘s individuality is important. “There are differences even in people who are similar,” says Dr. Bronwen Millet, a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Washington, D.C. ”You (can) create whatever type of relationship you want by working together with your significant other. What I‘ve seen in practice is that couples (who are) committed, willing and able to step out to do the work have healthier relationships , Saying that there are too many differences for the relationship to work is an easy way out.” Myth No. 3: Love conquers all in a marriage and relationship Truth: The concept that ‘love conquers all‘ sounds good in love songs, but you need more than love to sustain a long-term relationship or marriage. The truth is, love is only a starting point , To survive, it needs to be tempered by tolerance, tenacity, humour and humility. Relationship experts agree that there should be other variables in place to help nurture a healthy relationship. According to Dr. Millet, couples who share common values and maintain a high level of commitment are more successful at making their relationship work. In addition, each person in the relationship has to learn to apply coping skills. These include developing problem-solving abilities, learning how to listen and communicate effectively with regard to your mate, handling anger and stress in a positive manner, and applying patience when needed. Myth No. 4: Each person gives 50-50 in the relationship Truth: While most of us are taught that we must give equally in a marriage, it rarely happens. ”Someone can give 30-70 or 60-40,” says Chapman. ”What matters most is to ensure that the person who is giving 60 percent isn‘t resentful of the person who is giving 40 percent.” This especially holds true in today‘s society, where traditional male and female roles have become debunked. Some women have assumed the role of the breadwinner, or earn just as much money (or more) than their partner. In addition, men have become more versatile in their roles regarding children and domestic responsibilities. Myth No. 5: I can change my mate over time Truth: What you marry is usually what you get. Too often, people embark upon a relationship or marriage with the expectation of changing their partner into the ideal person they want. ”To try to change a person is a setup (for a letdown),” according to Dr. Millet. ”In order to change someone, you have to rework that person, starting from their childhood.” Her advice is to get to know the person you are involved with and be able to understand and accept him or her for who he or she is before you commit. Myth No.6: Getting married is a cure for promiscuity Truth: Marriage won‘t ensure monogamy. Experts agree that a person who is promiscuous probably has other issues that he or she is trying to avoid and will inevitable bring into the marriage. ”You take you with you everywhere you go,” says Dr. Millet. ”Whether it is sex, drugs, whatever - these are all distractions that have to be addressed before marriage. You can‘t run from yourself.” Myth No. 7: After a breakup, the best way to recover is with a new relationship Truth: Jumping into a new relationship after you have just ended one is usually a recipe for failure. Time spent solo after a relationship or marriage ends (in addition to counselling for some) is necessary to heal a broken or bruised heart. Entering into a new relationship too soon might not give you a chance to work through all of your issues. To be happy in a relationship, you must first be happy with yourself. Myth No. 8: My true soul mate will never cheat on me Truth: Your partner may still cheat on you, even if he or she cares about you. According to the experts, it‘s the quality of a relationship that will usually dictate whether or not a person cheats. People cheat because there is something missing from the relationship, or because there‘s something missing from the individual who is doing the cheating. Usually, the person going outside of the relationship feels the need to be confirmed by someone other than his or her spouse. Myth No. 9: You can never date your best friend‘s ex Truth: It depends on the circumstances. Both Dr. Millet and Chapman say that you can date your best friend‘s ex, if the situation is right. ”If you are dating your friend‘s ex two days after they‘ve broken up, that‘s a problem,” says Chapman. If, however, you start to become interested in someone whom your friend dated while you were both in high school or college and you all are adults now, that‘s acceptable and also less likely to seem like a betrayal to your friend. It‘s also important to communicate and to set boundaries, which will determine what is acceptable in the relationship, according to Dr. Millet. Myth No. 10: All men cheat , eventually Truth: There are still some good men out there who don‘t cheat. While a larger percentage of men than women do cheat, according to relationship experts, not all have - or will. The truth is that, with the latest technology (cell phones, e-mail, Blackberries), it is easier to cheat on your spouse. Now for the twist: The number of women cheating has increased - as many as 40 per cent of women (up from 20 per cent) have had affairs. ”Today, more women are cheating than did during their mothers‘ and grandmothers‘ generations,” says Chapman. ”And women are better at it,” she adds. Whether you have already found your soul mate, or are still looking for that special individual, know that any worthwhile relationship requires mutual commitment, as well as respect and communication. And that‘s the truth! ![]() http://www.thirdage.com/marriage/10-relationship-myths-and-the-truth-about-soul-mates?page=0,3#ixzz15SSedBZm |
SSaemoenl:That is their culture, and they are keeping it. Let Africans too learn to protect their own cultures. |
MzWumi:If it were my Mum, she will ignore your threat and see if u will not get married on that day. Marriage is about two families coming together not just you and your man. |
stillwater:For those who want to marry, marriage it self is based on tradition. why are we Africans trying to dumping our traditional values. Even the western world still follow this tradition. check chelsea clinton wedding

coded777:@ poster I am 80 % sure she is not f**king another man while talking to u on phone. Because no decent women would do such a thing not even to her foes. Maybe she is just masturbating which i do not think is bad. Except u also u are the religious type. |
hey Missy ★ B I do not understand why you fighting over this issue . We are just putting things in perspective here. OK! |
WHY ARE SOME WOMEN HERE SO DEFENSIVE. Some women are criticizing tolutara because they are also guilty of been Materialistic . In Nigeria here you see mothers borrowing money to buy ASO EBI,SHOES.BAGS e.t.c just for a day burial ceremony or OWANBE PARTY While their children are suffering . And some peps are claiming they are enjoying themselves or living life to the fullest. Abba, do you think joy,happiness and looking good in life is a result of how much money you spend buying all these things? |
You have to admit it's pretty dumb and doesn't make any sense, What makes it's even more retarded is that they complain when they don't get respect. I mean, c'mon. I hear women complain about guys(JERKS) all the damn time, and they wonder why they get cheated on, ignored, and what not. I can't think of anything that can be more idiotic. |
@ poster You should also ask yourself Why do women date jerks(BAD GUYS) and reject good men. WELL THEY JUST LOVE FUN THEY GET FORM JERKS |
@ Ileke-IdI Are you Investigating Divorce Cases In Yorubaland or Polygamy ? Because they are two different issues. As for polygamy most Yoruba women especially the EDUCATED ONES ARE VERY MATERIALISTIC . They neglect single men withing their age bracket and run after rich married men(ARISTOS) irrespective of his religion but for his wealth. How can you now blame the men for polygamy when the women willingly run after them for their riches. |
SOME SPORT CARS still comes with Manual transmission because you can control the car's acceleration on difficult and curvy roads. |

MADAM EVE, pls leave AFRICAN MEN ALONE. No man will open his eyes Or tell me that man that will feel comfortable seeing his wife/girl flirting with other men. EVEN PLAYBOY WILL BE JEALOUS. You are JEALOUS because you are in a relationship with him/her and that is normal. You cannot be JEALOUS with a stranger. |

For those blaming the husband. That man is not guilty until we hear from the woman who ran away . If the silly woman really wants to divorce her husband she would have gone court to normalize her divorce. I bet u she ran away with her lover boy not knowing the implications of her actions. |
I WILL NOT BE SURPRISED IF THE SAME WOMAN, RUNS BACK TO HER HUSBAND BEGGING FOR FORGIVINGNESS AND BLAMING THE DEVIL. I KNOW A LOT OF WOMEN DO THESE THINGS (RUNS AWAY AND RUNS BACK BEGGIN). |
oweniwe: Are u human at all .IF the poster is not happy with the new baby. Let her go and start her own family, after-all she is a 21 year old ADULT ![]() |
MRbrownJAY:AM COOL ![]() |
@MRbrownJAY No need for insults. ![]() Since don't believe in reconciliation. Then you are entitled to your own opinion. ![]() OK |
! NO LAW CAN FORCE A HUSBAND TO EITHER RESPECT HIS WIFE OR TO DO WHAT HE IS NOT READY/WILLING TO DO! [quote][/quote] It simply shows you are ignorant of the law. Do you think those couples who go court to settle their differences are only going there for divorce? MR Commentator Why don't you proffer a solution to her problem. |

Onyema1:@Onyema1 YOU ARE RIGHT, MOST REALLY PEOPLE HAVE POLLUTED MINDS. |
@Poster I it is wrong for you to be spreading tales about or less than one year old marriage on nairaland. As an adult you should know that marital issues are not to be discoursed in public because every one has an opinion(right or wrong). When is NAIRALAND A Marriage COURT where everybody is a judge. We are only getting your own side of the story and not that of your husband. We do not know your husband. We do not know if his actually beating you or doing those other things you claim his is doing to you. IT ONLY A VARY GULLIBLE PERSON THAT BELIEVE ONE-SIDED STORY ESPECIALLY IN A RELATIONSHIP. Must people are telling you to get a divorce, well that is not the solution to your problem. Because most of the time, when couples go their separate ways, they do not find happiness with someone else! The divorce rate for people who have once been divorced is higher than for those who are getting married for the first time. Thier are laws in the NIGERIAN MARRIAGE ACT that can force your spouse to fulfill his marital obligations. So i will advice you to get a good and professorial Marriage Lawyer. GOD BLESS. |
wow, you are sleeping by your wife and still having Sex In Dream ![]() Is your madam on strike or what, you better start talking to her cos your issue is not spiritual at all. |
@*Hauwa* I meant joint account for family need, and personal account for private use like meeting your own person needs .like , clothings, cosmetic,investment etc. |
I agree with the joint account stuff. The couple should have a joint account were they can both deposit certain amount of their monthly pay equally at the end of every mouth, for family expenses like .bills, feeding school,children stuff e.t.c. Then they can keep their personal accounts for their own private use . |
Fumes dont kill in seconds there must have been a period of discomfort which they ignored probably because they are carried away with their sexual escapade. |
