I have a friend he is every good thing but overbearing. He kept that part till we started dating. I don't have issues with a man wanting to be a man but when he does it to the extent your opinions don't count again and if you do otherwise even when you are right, it gets him angry. Shouldn't it be a thing of concern?
I've been feeding his ego but I think its getting out of hand. The relationship is getting serious but my fears have started building and im beginning to ask myself if I can cope??
Please help a sister, what can I do to stop this? Married women in the house with husbands with such traits how do you cope?
Should have have learnt from my parents but my father is the exact opposite and with my observations, his dad is also overbearing his sisters at always complaining.
Having some one who is over bearing is like accepting what doesn't work for you and still believes it will work out well
What you can't accept in friendship don't approve it for marriage
People like that have pride issue and they have low self esteem
You can keep the marriage on hold while you battle it with him at this preteething stage before it gets to the actual stage where it seems like a point of no return (marriage)
You must have your freedom and expression in any relationship you find yourself anything out of that is jail
People with such traits knows they have it but will pretend over it and cover it up until the ring is placed then they will unleash it
My advice is for the next 6 months to 1 year, if you know that you can't challenge his authority because you don't want him to dismiss the issue of marriage, be ready to bear it for life
Tackle it now and face it with all respect
If he can't cope, let the relationship fizzle out
It's either the relationship bend or it brakes but it must touch ground
Profprom: Why blow your trumpet before leaving? Whether you leave or stay we have been surviving in this country and we will still survive with or without you. Better luck else where
That's not an encouraging word
You won't know how it feels until you establish one

Age or no age, love is what matters in marriage followed by understanding

[quote author=wwwkaycom post=91030988]I'm confused about this. Am I expecting too much from people? I had a pastor few years ago, do anything for this pastor, he will never say thank you.
There was a time he followed us as youth in the church at that time to a youth picnic on the instruction of our Senior Pastor, upon arrival, I mobilised the youth to appreciate him by presenting a gift of a very good quality shirt, he returned it and told us its too small for what he'll collect from us, he said we were big youths, we had to contribute more money to buy a suit and add to the shirt. He didn't at any time say thank you to anyone of us.
There was a time he did his mother's funeral, I travelled all the way from Ondo State to his hometown somewhere in one of the southern states, I gave him a token of 10k which was what I could afford at the time as present, no thank you till this moment.
I can mention 5 other instances in which I offered him gifts without even an acknowledgement that he got it.
One day while preaching, he said "if you do good to anyone and you're expecting him to thank you, it means you didn't have the intention of doing the good ab-initio". He was transferred to another state since 2013.
Again, I have a colleague in the office who have this same trait. He told me he doesn't know how to say thank you. Do anything for him, he believed he deserved it. He will never say thank you.
One day, our oga traveled to Germany and bought some beautiful shoes which he gave to us when he came back, that shoe would have cost 27k if purchased in Nigeria at that time. I got it through our secretary and sent an SMS to oga immediately, I also called him to thank him. The following day, I didn't see him, I sent an SMS again and the third day, I went straight to his office in the morning to thank him again.
This is the way I was brought up. We had to prostrate to thank our parents each time they paid our school fees or bought something for us in those days. My friend didn't say anything to our oga. As I was going out of oga's office, he called me back and said "can you see your friend Stanley? he will never appreciate anything". I asked Stanley and he gave me the same reply my pastor gave me years ago. " If you do good to anyone and you're expecting him to thank you, it means you didn't have the intention of doing the good ab-initio". He said must he now turn himself to who he isn't just because of a shoe? that's just who Stanley is.
Now I have a neighbour in my street, every morning I'll pick his two kids and take them to school since their public school is very close to my children school, these children will never say thank you. They just hop in and hop out of the car every morning and sometimes in the evening if they see us while passing the front of their school. Funny enough, their parent also haven't appreciated the gesture at any time, its like an abomination for them to say thank you. One day in March, before the lockdown, I went to my kid's school by around 11am in the morning to submit school fees tellers, I saw one of the kids I normally pick to school in front of their school gate, I stopped to ask her why she isn't in class, she told me they asked her to go home because she was feeling feverish. Instead of going back to my office, I took her home. As I was driving, I asked about her parents, she said they'll have gone to their business places and that his dad's phone rang but he didn't pick it when the vice-principal tried to call him while her mum's phone was bad. I took her to their house, ask a nurse who also sells medicine in our street to treat her, I paid N1200 for the drugs, nothing like thank you from this 12 year old girl and her parent didn't say anything till date even though the nurse told me she narrated the whole story to them.
Last Saturday, I attended the landlord association meeting, I heard the assistant secretary of our association saying that he paid 2k on behalf of the man for a particular work we're doing in the street and that the man didn't even show appreciation or make effort to pay back his 2k. This man just said "its only God who deserved thanks, I'll pay your 2k next week".
Are these people really right? Is it wrong to show appreciation for good deeds? Our parents taught us to show gratitude for good deeds when we were young, were they wrong? I'm not so clear about this.[/quote]People with such traits are always ingrate and the worst is that they will never do anything for you
Just ignore them and you will be happy you did
As for your pastor, start with drawing from him, he is nit the one you are serving but God
Take your charity heart to the poor and vulnerable people, the widows or better still to motherless homes
This are the people that will appreciate you from the dept of their heart

Yes, but he has put the entire families into pains and lost

ElZackzacky2019: Hmmm... This matter serious o. I used to wonder if female children from toxic or pained single mothers would ever love their husbands. Their mothers seem to have poisoned their minds about men from infant
They will definitely love their husband
Just that they are loyal to their mum most times
Women have the ability to attract children to themselves
simplexity: Firstly I will like to apologize for any errors made while typing, and I am seriously in need of ur advice and criticism.
My name is Stanley(not real names) married for 4years with two Lovely kids both female with d eldest at age 4. Trust me I cherish and love my family. I am a graduate while my wife dropout from the university cause of some money issues her single mother had while she was sick. After our first child I made sure she got admitted to a polytechnic and thankful she just rounded up her N.D all expenses paid by me, with high hopes of Getting admitted for her HND.
The problem started after our first child, my wife attitude towards sex changed totally, she would never let me touch her or play with her, calling her pet names will usually end in quarrel, I spoke with her her severally, pleaded and beg her most times but her attitude never changed, she made me feel like I met nothing to her, yet she will always fight with me whenever ever she suspects I have a girlfriend, fights with any female that comes close to me through calls or chats, she even went as far as beating up a lady that needed my help thinking I was dating her.
Fast forward to recently, her mom who is a single mother relocated to stay with us, and during her stay we had some misunderstanding about money issues, (note both me and wifey are gainfully employed in the ratio of 10:4, but 60% of wifey salary goes to her mom while she spends the rest 40% anyhow she likes) during d money issues a frd of hers came and told both of them that she see saw me flirting with a lady. And without hearing my own side of the coin my mother in-law rained curses on me , reported my to all her family members and left my house angrily, two days later my wife took our children and left my house while I was in d office, I called about her where about and she said she won't tell me and she said I will hear from her family soon, her mom called a family friend saying she will sue me.
It's been one week now and I don't know the whereabouts of my kids.
Should I report to the police or what? Note I have apologized to wife for the crime I didn't commit yet it seems they want a bigger pound of flesh.
Please kindly advise me caused am depressed and confused
Pls don't get depressed
Hold your self because the worst has not happened
The only solution now os, go to police station and make a report that your wife left with your children after your mother in law left after visiting your family
Relax yourself and think of what to do to make yourself happier
Call the family, I mean anyone of those people that witnessed your marriage and inform them
Don't beg her to come back, you have begged enough
Live your life as if nothing happened
Rock your life and drive away depression
She will pack back to your house when she realises that what she did is silly
And if she comes back ask her to go back that you equally need a break, she will refuse and people will gather to beg you
That's the right time for her to make a verbal undertaking that her mum will only visit on your approval and she won't stay beyond 24hrs
Honestly you have to be firm and strict at the same time
She is strolling her mums line and if you don't clip her wings, you will remain a puppet
Life is too short for someone to determine your happiness
By the time she sees that you are not perturbed about her absence, she will come home with shame
And if she stays longer than necessary, another woman takes in for you, its her business not yours worst case you get a room apartment for her or she joins her mother
I support women but not the one's that won't make impact yet deprive you of your own joy
shestrong: Sorry but sex and romance cannot heal a depressed person pls.. Love of family and friends can help.. visiting a therapist can go a longer way..e.t.c But only time heals all wounds.
You know we have different types of depression
You and I don't know what form of depression she is passing through
But I believe that having someone from the opposite sex, who will shows love to you, can as well make you happy
Sex is another way of feeling happy unless you don't experience orgasm
cdm4live: I know in no way am I entitled to what I am about to say but just have to say it.
My brother and his woman has been staying with me for about two months. I know she hasn't been feeling comfortable and has been saving a lot to get her own house. I won't lie, she has been of help in terms of food and I really appreciate her for that. My earning in my job is quiet low, just that I have not being able to start a side business basically not knowing what to sell.
Last month, my bro told me the month for their rent is remaining 10k and that I should help. That was my last 10k and won't be having my June salary for obvious reasons. I had to give them the 10k. But things went south and they couldn't get the house. I couldn't ask of my money either because she has been contributing to the feeding.
Last week, on Monday or so, I called someone lootheseg for a job for me and he said the job is available and that I should get him 30k.
I asked my brother if they could assist and after discussing with his woman 5k was brought out. I ran to work to the person who collected the contribution we are doing and he could only offer 5k.
I called the man telling him I have 10k at hand and that I am hustling the remaining. By then I have called on my junior bro to assist although he agreed but couldn't make the transfer that day.
Next day, I got the money from my junior bro and hand it over to the man. He told me other people have taken the position since I wasn't serious.
I am just angry within me but decided not to confront my bro or her woman.
Meanwhile, as I tried taking my cloths from the wall hunger, my hand touched on a shirt and I field money on my bro's pocket. I didn't bother checking that day I just went for in search of where to borrow.
After two days, I was tempted to check, the money has reduced in volume but in 500 notes.
All the woman kept on saying is words of like competing with me. She wanted to rent a self-contained, buy gas, television and all.
Really, I always keep quiet while she says all these. I earn peanut at month end and still attend part time in polytechnic.
I just feel like saying this here to free my mind a bit. Like I say, I am not entitled to their money but I am just pissed.
Please, pardon my errors and sorry for the lengthy post.
Sorry about that
Just pray they pack out peacefully and let it just end like that
Any time they come to you for favour, treat them your way
mimimile93: Good day my Nairalander family. I hope you all are fine. Sorry to bother you all. There's something giving me sleepless nights lately.
Firstly, I vowed never to have anything to do with women after the setbacks I had in the past. Somehow, I fell in the arms of a woman again. This time around a good woman. She loves me more than I love her. She has being my backbone lately. She really helped me a lot. She was always there for me when I was arrested. She is the first woman ever to spend money on me since I started dating. She value everything I give her no matter how little it is. I bought her a wristwatch on her birthday and the wristwatch is less expensive compare to the wristwatch she use. But I was surprised she abandoned her expensive wristwatch and started wearing the one I bought for her. This girl has done more than enough for me. When the pandemic was severe, I stayed in her apartment all through and she took care of feeding and all. We plan getting married. But here is my concern.
Her family! Her family hates blacks and they have no reason to like a black person. I only visited her family twice and the way they welcomed me wasn't really good. I once talked with her younger sister and asked her if she would marry a black man. She said never. That even if the black man is richer than Bill Gates she will not marry. Her sister hardly reply my chats on Line App. This my girl loves me but my problem is her family.
Friends I am very confused. Note: The current work I am doing now I got it via this my girl. She is everything a man needs. She bought me a car last year.
You have to relax your mind
She is the one to fight for your space in her family
Their fears are about the negative news they hear about blacks
So you have to make a difference and let them know that you are not like the others
Keep loving her family and never give up
You have great chances because she loves you more
Above all, put it to God in prayers both of you
If she really loves you, she will convince her family
It's either they allow her do what will make her happier or jeopardise it
As for you, make sure you love her till death if she succeeds in convincing her family, if you messes her up, they will mock her and it will definitely catch up with you considering the battle she fought for your sake
JONNYSPUTE: ....Good morning folks. Sure we are all good and managing the effects of pandemic well?. To God be the glory.
This is going to be long because I will want us to read and understand it very well before commenting. Reason is because any decision taken is going to affect both myself,my immediate family members,extended and the entire community.
I have been thinking about the way forward since December last year.
It happened that we lost our king(Eze) 5years ago and the community has been in turmoil due to the inability of the elders to select a new king.
Reason is that it is rotational between my village and the other village.
My village is now supposed to bring out the next king and my compound has been told to bring out somebody to be crowned as a king.
I never envisaged or dreamt of becoming a king in my life because. (1) My father is still alive. (2)I'm not the most senior in the entire family.
But then,the elders met me last December and told me that the diety in the community has selected me to become the next king and that I have to pick another wife from the community before I will be crowned.
I told them point and blank that the oracle is mistaken due to the reasons I mentioned above but they are not taking it.
Now everyone in my village is against me for refusing the offer and saying I'm doing it be cause I don't want to hurt my wife which is true.
Now my question is,What do I do? Should I damn the consequence and pick another wife and be crowned a king in other to make my community happy or should I forget about the whole idea entirely and allow the community sort themselves out?
I'm confused here. N B. My wife is aware of all this.
Thanks.
Lalasticlala,please bring this to front page cause I'm no longer myself. So many sleepless nights and selfish advices from the elders in my community.I really need to hear the truth from people I don't know.
This is a very sensitive issue and needs wisdom to tackle it
In the history of your family or community, the previous Kings who are late now, do they all married from your village or they married else where
Because I don't see the coronation between marrying from your community and marrying outside your community
Unless it's a decoy to make you drop your wife, if ever their was a time they didn't want you guys to marry
Yes the deity can pick any body it wishes
So let them give you a written history of the past Kings and their wives family
Then you will now take it upon yourself to do your secret investigation
Don't be scared or moved, you didn't go to school for nothing
Then the only person that will be truthful to you is your dad if he is going to be transparent to you
Lastly, are you going to get settled in the village where your stool is or you will keep being on the express road through and flow
If you will be settling down in the village, how do you fend for your family as you must be relocated from your work place
I’m 3 months post part, meaning I just gave birth 3 Nearly 4 months ago. My child is fine, taken care of and I’m coping very well with motherhood.
My problem now is I added 25 kg during this pregnancy. I’ve lost some but I’m honestly still very fat. On top of that I have this dirty looking black skin in result of this pregnancy. I’m just feeling so ugly I want to know how I can lose this weight and lighten up my skin tone. Let it not be that my husband will start looking outside ahbeg lol. Not just that but generally I look disgusting. I am not happy with myself.
Mothers in the house how long did it take to lose your baby weight? And please I need advice on how to get back to my normal self. And also tips to get rid of this dirty black looking skin that I have. I want to glow.
Nature will get rid of the black spot
Baby fat will stay if you neglect to do work out and will go if you are discipline with your exercise
As far as you are still breast feeding, you will be hungry and you will eat to get enough strength
You will still come back to normal but don't expect it to be as you were before
As for hubby looking out, just over look that aspect because men will be men
