the sacrifices they made by patiently staying for the sake of their children.
I get that but what is the fruit/reward for these sacrifices?

No, its never a bad idea. i know alot of women that did that and they're reaping the fruit of their patience now.

though most of the younger generation ladies will not agree but few of them still do it.
What fruit?

Maybe his proficiency in his local language is affecting his English or someone close. People don’t just come up with these conclusions, something causes it. That should be addressed first...

The worst I have noticed from many people who are proficient in local languages is an accent. Like you can tell their tribe even when they speak English. However, their English was flawless.
If you lean English in your childhood from someone who speaks it with an accent, you are likely to pick up the accent. It's the same for native speakers. British kids sound distinctly different from American kids. If you speak several languages, they will at times interfere with one another. There is no way around it but it's still better to speak several languages fluently than only one language. My opinion. How many Nigerians do you know, who didn't grow up in the US or UK, who speak English without an accent? And what is wrong with accents anyway? I love accents.

The tribalistic comments were completely unnecessary.

Your husband is so wrong, I grew up comfortably speaking 3 languages: Igbo (Mbano, my mum's dialect and also my dad's cheesy) Yoruba and English simultaneously. Despite being born and raised in Lagos, my parents insisted on Igbo (my native language) being the language of communication at home, that didn't affect us being comfortable with communicating in Yoruba and English.

It is evidence- based that children can learn multiple languages at once thus your kids' capacity should not be limited to being monolingual.
This!

Evacroft:
Children are capable of learning different Languages at the same time, explain this to your husband and tell him to do some research on this.
It's very important that they learn to atleast speak and understand one of ur dialects. God forbid if anything happens in the future they will easily identify with a either of ur tribes.

This are things you discuss when u re in an intertribal rltship. Nevertheless if ur husband still restricts you then start inviting any of the grandmas especially "his" ,then do a follow-up.
And this!

No man in his right sense values a woman he did not fight for.
Erica is cheap and that is a fact. The E in her name stands for Easy
Nengi is even better than her
Such statements have always made me wonder if we are to pretend that we don't like a man that we like so he can fight, which I find disingenuous. I know it's the game we are supposed to play in the name of love but it does not satisfy me in the least.

If I don't like a man, he can fight empires and nothing will change it.

Sorry if I went too much off topic. I am not watching the show so forgive me, I don't know what I am talking about actually here. grin

Sometimes it's really just cowardice that prevents us from doing certain things, we in turn label it conscience, all men have experienced that the author was bold enough to put it in words. He was bold enough to put ALOT of innate feelings in words for example, "the terror of society, which is the basis of morals, the terror of God, which is the secret of religion—these are the two things that govern us"
I loved this passage in the book. I am glad you chose to quote it. It was this part that made me put the book aside to think about it because it is not as simple a truth as it appears to be at first glance. It is more profound than that.

The reason I like this book or maybe the author's style of writing is the fact that he has a valid opinion of almost every subject, from religion to romance.

Oscar projects his realism and touch of cynicism through Harry, I think he was a very objective man, probably wasn't too attached to something or someone and lived for the moment.

A man who won't allow himself delve into the pleasures of fantasy, I think is a man who has known great pain, I'm not sure about this but I suspect it to be so,

Basil seems to me like the part of Oscar who has known that great pain.

I'll do a background check on the author, at this point I'm curious.
I wish you would not seek to find the author in the book but let the characters live a life of their own. Many great authors have published their work under different names so their readers would seek to find meaning in the work and not their lives.

I remember reading 4.48 by Sarah Kane. If you choose the author based approach to make meaning of the play, the book will show you nothing but the mind of someone suffering from severe depression reaching psychotic states in the middle of the night. Take the deconstructive approach and you will see the world through the eyes of a highly sensitive and alert person who refuses to succumb to mass hypnosis.

Nevertheless, I delight in your author based approach because it is so multilayered. You see the author not in one but in two characters. It tells me that you are someone who sees people in their complexity and your ability to identify the experience that forms their character is intriguing. It calls for psychoanalytic criticism which you have combined with the author based approach, quite apt, I must say, since I have already read the author's biography.

This is even deeper than the quote above. smiley

Now you are talking. A normal human should be offended, not just for himself, but for the partner. If the guy told her that privately, do you think it will be a problem? It is still you guys that make a big deal over women and sex. Yet you will turn around and blame it on vagina people. Tufia!




Keep me posted when your fiancee posts you guys engagement picture. I need to tell her how good your head game is and watch you credit my account. kiss

I will give it 8/10.Very interesting read.Tells the story of financial power and influence. Navigates through the world of America's big business and cooperations. Dives into America's film industry in its formative years. All these tales told from the angle of a young business man and how he built his empire. Very interesting read.
Thanks a lot. This is an insightful review.

Anything suggested on this thread will only have an impact if the husband still loves his wife.
If he only manages her, she can stand on her head but no amount of acrobatics will move him.

Hathor5 that I like this book is an understatement. His words are colorful esp when Lord Henry speaks, he said something like "only the intellectually" lost argue and that thing blew my mind.

I think it was the style of talking back in his day that was so rich, expressive and alive. The first chapter was the epitome of "burning passion" and yet it wasn't of lust from Basil to Dorian, you could cut the passion on the pages with a knife.

Hi, how was your day? smiley
Ayt, you put a big smile on my face. smiley
It's been a nice day and it is ending even nicer. smiley
I see you are having a good time too. smiley
I will get the book from the shelf now so I can remind myself of what you are touched by better. smiley

I see people fry eggs that way. Am scared of eating it. Due to the eggs not being well cooked, there is a high risk of getting a bacteria infection.
They are fried but not firmly fried. I have been eating them like this all my life because my dad liked them like that even though his mother used to prepare them totally firm, which I also like but less.
