Romance / Should I Marry A Woman/man In Usa/abroad Or Should I Go Home To Find A Partner by HeavenlyCherub(f): 7:42am On May 28, 2020
I have insomnia it’s 1.30 am and I was just browsing my feed and I watched a blog video that discussed this topic. I thought it would be entertaining for me to shake this table on Nairaland. Looking forward to what y’all have to say about this topic.

This is a very hot topic in the USA as we observe some people going back to Africa to marry a wife/husband however when they return the spouse changes - it can be for good or for bad.

For those overseas would you go back home to marry ? Why do you choose this route? Has the diaspora ran out of options? Did your marriage weather changes of environment once your spouse came to America?
Did your spouse remain the same?

For those in 9ja what’s your take on marrying someone you barely know. Do you do it for love initially or is it for better life?

Can you please gist me on your experience or what you have heard?

i wish you could tell that to the millions of women that expect to be pampered and taken care of, solely because of big bootay/tittays...

I don’t need a mans money but I want to be taken care off. A man provides, a woman submits and nurtures

Romance / Re: He’s Very Stingy And I am tired by HeavenlyCherub(f): 2:11pm On May 27, 2020
Positivechick:
I broke up with my boyfriend today,


I met him while I was serving, he was nice and the only friend I had , I served in a village. while we were serving he doesn’t give me much , I practically kinda fed him cause he was always in my place ,he had a roommate and I didn’t , before he gives me any money we always had issues , not like he doesn’t hv to give. He just doesn’t want to . I don’t even ask for much .

After service we continued dating, he had no job so I told him to get a teaching job he said never ever, he rather follow he’s friends up and down , I kept quite watching what his plans maybe, I hv never asked him for a dim since we finished service mid last year , got a teaching job so taking care of myself.

My birthday would be coming up , his just passed , I told him that I would expecting some cash on my birthday. We talked today and he’s telling me he spent all he’s money for he’s birthday , that if money cms he will send but right now he has no money ,, placing me on the probability table, so I said u couldn’t keep the one u would send me , he said people were buying drinks and buying drinks and he couldn’t tell them to stop. Am like are u serious ? I had to remind him that my birthday is few days away n he started saying he won’t be able to send anything. I told him without him doing the needful that there is no us .


Am tired , he has no vision, No focus , no aim , he depends on he’s friends and it annoying , i think about he’s future more than he does , he’s always in the present. He’s making me feel like a bad person that he would make it , I hope he makes it but the relationship is so draining and I am 100% faithful to someone with no sense of reasoning. He’s Saying I am dating someone that’s why I want to leave him . He isn’t even addressing the issue we hv on ground .

Thoughts??

You did the right thing. Men like that always pick ambitious women as they know they have someone to depend on during rainy seasons. Better a man with less who is generous than a man with plenty who can’t add to your life. Men always want to hide behind this gold digger thing. No woman is a gold digger. Biblically the man is meant to be the provider. This doesn’t mean take advantage of him but a man should be able to support you. Even in the small way he can.. run from that relationship run

Romance / Re: Help Please. I Am About Canceling My Marriage Arrangements With My Baby Mama. by HeavenlyCherub(f): 3:21am On May 27, 2020
dontammy:
Good morning Nairalanders, my story is quite long. But please bear with me.

I met my Baby mama Late 2015 via social media (Badoo). We had a great relationship dating. It's almost like we are made for each other. Fast forward a couple of months I felt like I have found my missing rib. I popped the question January 2016 and she said YES. I had plans to settle down before the end of 2016.

I lost my job few months into 2016 and things fell really apart for me. I could not carry-on with the marriage like I planned. Towards the end of 2016 she concluded a business that raised her around 450k. Because of how things were so difficult, she gave me the money to buy a car so I can use it for taxi. I did so. We were managing good. She got pregnant and gave birth to my son in 2017.

Fast forward 2019 I got a job as an assistant manager at a hotel. Thats when we started having issues. Because I had to move out to my place of work in another state.

Honestly I have never been the faithful type of guy. But I have never let that change my feelings for her. Because I really love her.

She knows that I am not really faithful but She had never really felt insecure since we were always together. But when I moved out it became one problem after another. I started making arrangements for the wedding with the little money I have been able to save. At least to get the traditional marriage done. The wedding was supposed to be in November 2019. September 2019 she had an accident. I spent every single dime I had to pay the hospital bills. I even borrowed money. Thanks be to God she is fine today.

So at the end of 2019 I resigned from the job and moved back to the house, so peace would reign and to avoid all the insecurities.

Currently I am job hunting, but yet she has gotten worse. When I go out to make contacts she accuses me of going out with women. I am the kind of guy who has hot temper and she has hot temper too. Many times when complains and scream down the house, I don't say anything because that is how I have trained myself to control my temper. Because if I respond to everything she says I will definitely end up beating her. So I keep quite.

I have always been the one cooking our meals because I am a very good cook. And she loves my cooking. Now she nags about me cooking my meals when she is at home.

I am seriously considering to opt out. But I am considering our son. I came from a polygamous family. She too is from a polygamous home. I am trying hard to make sure that we break that bond. But she is pushing me to quit. She keeps telling me that if I am tired of the relationship, I should let her know and walk away.

Please advise me, how should I handle this situation. I am on the verge of giving up. My son is kinda the only thing keeping us together.

No insults please.
Thank you.
You say you come from a polygamous home but you say you aren’t faithful and she was ok with that. You caused your own problem and made her insecure. As you cheat I just want you to keep in mind there’s a high chance one of the girls you cheat with will become pregnant. Your children will be the one to suffer the consequences of your selfish actions. So many children suffer for the decisions their fathers made to have children with many women. And then you say no insults, it’s because you know what you were doing/did is wrong. I have no sympathy for men like you. You need to pray for deliverance. You really need to hope you don’t come across a woman that prays.

You spoil and hurt your own woman and other women because of a lack of self control. One thing I can tell you is don’t cause your own misfortune in life. If some women cry on your behalf God listens. I don’t know why people think they can hurt people and go back to business as usual. Have you ever thought of why you have difficulty keeping a job and so many events of misfortune? Brothers and Sisters don’t ever forget all decisions and actions have consequences. Be careful how you treat people

Romance / Re: 3 Weeks To Wedding & I'm Confused! Please Advise Me by HeavenlyCherub(f): 1:27am On May 27, 2020
Donbabaj:
I could be happy now but the next minute, she changes mood all of a sudden. We dated for over year after someone match make us but this mood swing things continued overtime so sometimes I get confused even as i really tried managing the pressure. She's a nice girl, takes good care of me, buys clothes, cooks, always wants me to look good but the problem is the rate which she switches mood easily.

Financially, we are both average earner but I think she earns better pay than me.

For instance, recently we got a new apartment - 2bedroom flat but whenever I say something she doesn't like or she doesn't want to hear, she just reacts like why would I say such a thing. All the while we were dating, we never stayed with each other as we stayed in our parents house. Fast forward* most times, as the man, after switching mood, I try to pacify her by petting and apologising but she doesn't just want to listen.

Just today, we were playing with each other on the bed, touching each other (not sensitive part) and she wanted me to kiss her. So I told her jokingly that "but you know this is not biblical" as an advocate of no sex until after marriage. I have never had sex with her either. The next thing she said, "why are you talking like this" she stood up, went straight to the sitting room and slept there. I went to meet her there to pacify her again but she wouldn't listen.

Please note that I have not and can never beat or abuse her cos I'm a Christian.

I'm just tired. She's really getting on my nerves. Our wedding is 3 weeks time but I dont just know what to do. People, friends and family are already aware of the impending marriage but I'm afraid that if a lady can switch mood like this, who knows what will happen tommorrow. I cant sleep in peace...

Please advice. This is happening right now.
.

My dear, let me tell you something a lot of people won’t tell you. Marriage is a hard road, all the people who last in marriage sacrifice, forgive and practice patience. If you are strung up with something so small will you be able to work out other complications in future. The mistake a lot of people do is they marry for love. If you find love it’s a blessing but your number one priority in picking someone should always be compatibility and the other persons views on marriage. I can tell you today that feeling that you feel of love and excitement is because it’s all still new. When the excitement ends you want someone who sticks with you and stays not necessarily because of love but they stay because they honor the commitment you both made to love each other before God. I’m sure you also have traits that annoy her. No one is perfect. Sit down with her and communicate why this scares you. Nairaland advice is not always good advice. Good luck.

It’s possible that she could see her period the first month after sex and be pregnant the next. She might have been spotting the first month. Get her a pregnancy test. By now it will roughly be 6 weeks.

Carchoice:
I had a girlfriend I loved so much for 4 years but I ended things with her few days ago. She's not honest. angry

Before then, I met this other lady and we have only met just three times, on these three occasion she won't stop teasing me that I have a big head. She was very free and jovial about it. I was surprised a lady I just met feels very comfortable to tell me that.

Just three days ago I picked my phone and called my girlfriend, I told her to open my picture in her phone. She did. Then I asked her; "is my head big?"

She kept quite for some seconds before she let out a little laugh. She wanted to know why I asked, later she started giving comparison of my head to other people's head and objects too.

I started reminiscing on all the times I looked in her eyes to tell her sweet things. While she was looking at my head. That was it. She's gone now. angry

� you just wanted to break up with her because you met someone new.. grass is not always greener on the other side
Romance / Re: I Have Two Men Who Want To Marry Me - How Do I Choose? by HeavenlyCherub(f): 4:23pm On May 21, 2020
Norahsthought:
Hey guys, so a little background story. I'm 25, finished school quite early (schooled abroad), and got a good headstart. I am pretty comfortable, I have a good job with a great growth trajectory. So really, I'm focused on my career right now and not particularly interested in starting a family soon.

So here's the real story. I have two male friends who have shown interest in marrying me. They are both doing very well and from equally good backgrounds. I initially wasn't interested in marriage (at least for now) but you know friends and family. I am not in love with any of them or even with anyone at the moment (I am a woman of war lol) but they are both great guys.

So my challenge now that I have decided to be open to marriage is this, how do I choose? Should I even listen to the advice of friends and family to open up to getting married to one of these men or should I just wait till when I feel ready? I need advice and please be nice.

Choose the one that knows how to talk to you when angry, communicates,the better provider and one who understands you will not always like each other but despite this, he will continue to love and respect you. Clear your eyes of love as that feeling of infatuation fades off after a couple of years.

Hello friends..I greet all of una.

please I need more insight on this from our matured and experience couple's in the house.

I am planning on divorcing my wife and we have a baby together (she will be a year and 3months this month) and she's threatening to have custody of the baby and I want to go pick her up and take her to my mum but I am a little bit confused so please I need more insight on this....

NB: after our marriage things got worst for me and I had to move her to her parent house after she declined going to our own house reason because she feels more at home in her parent house (that's what she said) but once in a while she visits our own house. we finally finished our own building with furnishing and i insisted she move to my parents after complaining Everytime about money and things not so well at her own parents( she's the last child of 7children 4 girls 3boys and she is the only one married and they all still stay at home, with there parent, the girls) but she always find one excuse or the order not to go stay at my parents..my mum is a very kind woman and she always want to help in her own way but I still don't know why she can't leave her parent house..well this is not the reason am divorcing her anyway bexause this is just a tip of the iceberg..she believes she is a feminist and can not be told what to do anytime we have an argument...well don't want to bore you all with everything have been going through...
just more insight about the heading above please..kids please stay away matured minds only..thanks

Is your mom the child’s mom? Don’t let your children grow up resenting you because you robbed them of having a relationship with their own mother. No one owns the children in a divorce. Your children are human beings and not furniture.

Op you sound controlling. You need therapy. The fact that you think you should be able to tell your wife what to do is disturbing. If you advise your woman in love and guidance she will listen as opposed to you telling her what to do as a robot.

Why does she have to understand you? why can’t you also try understand her? Life has 2 sides, you need to compromise and meet halfway..

Romance / Re: Should I Date To Marry Again Or Find A Surrogate Mother To Have A Child? by HeavenlyCherub(f): 6:19am On May 15, 2020
iod69778:
I am a 40 year man living in the states. I am considering ending my marriage which is without a child at this time. Childlessness is not the only or most important reason i am considering ending my marriage, there are other reasons which are not relevant to this discussion. My question is, should i try to date and find love again or just find a surrogate mother to have kids for me soon, considering my age? My main reason for considering surrogacy is because i am a very busy man with work and career focus, middle class American. It may take time to find the right someone.

Please be mature with your comments.


I understand where you’re coming from in fact I’ve considered the same thing. I’ve always said if I get to 35 and I haven’t met someone I will look for a donor.

Peace should always be your priority, not everyone was destined to be married. In fact some people lose themselves and sanity in a marriage trying to live up to the other persons expectations. If you meet someone you like and genuinely open yourself to love and it happens that would be a blessing. It’s never too late, but also don’t force it/rush the process because you want a child. You will end up trapped with a person you wouldn’t consider under normal circumstances.

Just a little something for you to ponder on... you have the baby but you’re automatically welcoming the child to a broken home. As this is just an “arrangement to conceive.” Imagine growing up as that child. The element of family is robbed from the child and they might blame you in future for not trying to make it work with their mother. Children pick up on what we do than what we say - teach a child the way they should go and they won’t depart from it. Are you indirectly teaching the child it’s ok to be a baby mama? You don’t want to father another human and damage them in the process. Let’s break that cycle.

Nonetheless if you really want to do it. If I were you I would try get someone I know. You just don’t want to do this with just anyone. Consider the person’s faith, background and personality after all your children will take after both of you. I I hope you actually plan on being in the child’s life and just don’t want a child for retirement planning.

Romance / Re: I Have A Serious Problem Concerning My Relationship With Women. by HeavenlyCherub(f): 5:01am On May 12, 2020
Monfeels:
I want to share my problem with you guys in the hopes that maybe I'll get some good advice or at least some insight into my problem.

When people first meet me their impression of me is that I'm good looking, cool and intelligent. Most girls usually assume that I have a girlfriend or a legion of side chicks that I Bleep whenever I want to.

The truth about me is that I've never been in a proper relationship with another woman before. All I've had is sexual partners that I stop talking to after I have sex with them, and girls I get intimate with just to control them and get them to fulfil my desire of having a female to own, please me and do my biding, and then I get bored of them and cease contact and move on like I never knew them.

The reason for this behavior is that I don't possess the emotional resources needed to engage in a healthy relationship with another human being. I have no empathy and I usually feel no guilt or remorse for my actions. It's impossible for me to care genuinely for another person. I don't feel people's pain or suffering and I'm not moved by the death of family members or friends. I simply do not care for any other person but myself. I've been this way for a very long time. I lack the ability to maintain relationships with people hence why I lose friends often. Relationships are usually a means to an end for me and when that end is met, I become irritated by the person I've gotten close to.

Despite the fact that I don't see the point in relationships, I still find that I get jealous of couples in healthy relationships. It's not like I want to experience what they experience, just that I am envious of the fact that they are participating in something I can't participate in.

When I find a girl that I want to get close to, I'm usually consumed with jealousy over her previous relationships, and over any current relationship she has with any member of the opposite sex, even if it's merely platonic. All I want is for her to devote all her time to me and shower me with attention and love. The problem with all this is that I don't want to reciprocate this behavior. In fact the idea of devoting attention to, and showering affection on someone else irritates me. It's all pointless, but I enjoy when it's done to me.

Another weird side to all this is that I don't just want to control the girl, I also enjoy making her feel bad, but in a way that makes her crave for me more. I enjoy poking holes in herself esteem, making her second guess the presumably good qualities she thought she possesed, making her not feel wanted by me, and making her do more to please me.

I don't love women, I only become obsessed with them. Obsessed to the point that I'm constantly tortured by thoughts of them being sexual with another guy especially when it's someone she has dated before. I want her all to myself and even if she had sex with someone before I met her or before we became close, I am filled with anger and jealousy whenever the thought crosses my mind, and I want to punish her for that. It's like I want to erase her past and replace it with me. I want to be all she's ever had. I don't want anyone else in her life and I don't want anyone else in her past.

All this must sound crazy to you guys but this is my reality and it's eating me up. I need advice.

You need Jesus and you also need to get over yourself a little.

See my sister is about mentality and upbringing..... anyone can be the breadwinner of the house it just boil down to how much value they place on each other and understanding.

As a woman in D's modern age I think it is totally unreasonable to depend on man for your needs becos I no how some married men rubbish there wife who totally depend on them for everything.
Wat if he decides to leave.... how will she survive or don't u see the rate at which marriage crash ds days.

Oluromantic:

Prove your point

I can only use my self as example. My family is well off. I’m successful in my career and I still don’t want to be with a man without money. They will bring you to an early grave. I have dated 2 men in the past for love and they were not financially secure. All these men did was say I’m controlling, blamed me for their misfortune and always wanted me to solve their problems. A man doesn’t have to be a millionaire to make a woman happy. He just needs to take care of his responsibility. No matter how much money a woman will make. She will still want the man to provide as the head of the house. How do you want a woman to submit if you can’t take care of your responsibility? Men want submission, respect and a woman who takes care of the home. That woman can’t do this if her needs are not met. I’m not saying give her all you have but be responsible to take care of your woman and child. Just like you men want your needs met in certain ways. Women just don’t want to suffer.

It's part of it... especially those raised with poor self worth. Illiteracy as well as poverty are also major contributors. Mind you there are educated illiterates.

If you take a very good survey on girls/ladies, it's those who are poor or have very limited income source or those with inferiority complex that have such mentality, it's the same group of girls that have ferocious needs to the level of going into prostitution to meet those needs cus asking for money and gifts in exchange for romance or attention is prostitution already..call it whatever. Some even expect their bf to raise tuition fee for them thru out sch. And they're ready to hop from guys to guys just for money and gifts.

Girls who come from well-to-do homes or have a great sense of worth would not do such, she would take gifts if given (all girls love being appreciated) but not like her life, well-being, loyalty, future, fate, opportunity and all her entirely relies on it. She may not even be rich or have all her needs met, but would just be romantic naturally. If gifts come, it's a plus. And out of her token, she will share with you.

Dear Ladies,

A woman who cannot make her hair without corporate begging will call a guy BROKE.

A slay queen that cannot subscribe her phone without sending “Can you do me a favour..?” to a random male on Facebook, Instagram, NL, Twitter will call a guy broke.

A lady who does nothing than to jump around indiscriminate dates eating and waking to form fake life on Instagram, Facebook, NL, Twitter will be calling a guy who hustles; pays house rent, feeds himself, does everything for himself, BROKE.

A lady who is jobless and lazy will come on Nairaland and argue how she can't marry a man who doesn't earn 250k a month.

Isn't it laughable that women who cannot foot their bills call men BROKE for not doing it for them?

Ladies, I wish you'd understand how cheap it sounds when you bash a guy who didn't give you money for hairdo.

I wish you'd understand how hungry it sounds when you say a man who can't buy cold stone ice cream on a date is not manly.

Please, stop demanding from men what you don't do for yourself. Before you call a man broke, it should be because he can't take care of himself not because he can't carry your personal burdens. In that case, you're the broke one!

Build yourself, think, create, aspire, and pray for a wealthier you. Stop going around shaming yourself, telling stories of how a guy couldn't buy common KFC chicken during a date. Madam why couldn't you buy it?

If we critically examine most ladies the way they examine many men, you'll see that many ladies are BROKE, HUNGRY, and LAZY but forming slay mama. Meanwhile the guys are resourceful for themselves.

Go and get a life without feeling any man has to do it for you. Get financially independent and then you can talk of not wanting to marry a broke man. It freaks me out when I hear broke and lazy girls saying they can't marry a man who doesn't earn up to 250k a month.

You lack moral justification to bash broke men when you are broke.
Besides, these days no dude wants a broke woman. We know better now. I'm working hard to be financially stable because I want to attract a financial stable woman too.

When women like Linda Ikeji is talking about not marrying a broke man, lazy and entitled fake slay queens are also talking. Go and be rich first then I'll have no problem with you going around calling hardworking men BROKE.

Note: this write up is also for all the SIMP that are encouraging our ladies to live fake & entitled life style at d expense of their families & fellow guy man.

Romance / Re: Should I Lend My Boyfriend Money? by HeavenlyCherub(f): 4:34pm On Apr 22, 2020
Trayceey:
Fellow nairalanders,

I have a pressing issue on ground and I need your contribution. My boyfriend has been working for about 5 years now. We've been dating for a while now and he has been so nice and caring. The best ever.

In my past experience in relationships, I have been quite generous but the guys turned out to be ingrates so I vowed never to give any boy my penny again.

When I met my man, he melted my hardened heart with the love he showered on me. On one occasion, I have borrowed him money and he paid me back. Now he's asking me to borrow him another money. Because of this lockdown, he has gone so broke and he opened up to me. Initially, I did not believe him but when I noticed he has run out of food stuffs and the provisions he normally stock his house with, I believed him. I have more than enough money. The money he's asking for is like chicken change to me. But I don't want him to get used to borrowing from me and I have vowed never to give a guy my money again except if he's my husband.

Please I need advice. Fellow ladies like me, what do you think? Should I borrow him?

Where is his family? Where are his friends? Why do men want to burden their women. Women have problems too. Advice for you- only give money you don’t intend to get back. It’s scary you have dated for so long and he can’t sustain himself.. what if you got pregnant and needed him to man up... is this the man you want to get married to? Please shine your eye and read my story

I need candid advise pls no insults. I got married 2years ago, of recent i noticed my wife has been spending so much time online. Not that its unusual to me because i know shes kind of addicted to her phone.
But suspicion made me pick the phone on several occasions but it was paasworded. Finally i was able to discover the password after many trials and to my surprise she has been chatting steadily, morning and night with this guy.
Not only that the guy calls her sweet names and she responds. Even to the extent of telling her he wished they were married. Her response showed she was receptive to the idea. Then she asked him why he did not make a move since and he blamed his financial status.
In summary i hve seen enough, though i hve neva confronted her. My plan is to inform my people b4 calling the marriage off.


Marriage is not a bed of roses. Have you never called any other women besides your wife words of endearment ? Imagine you want to divorce over a conversation. Marriage will be hit by big issues. Confront her and forgive. Pay her attention. When women start to look elsewhere for affection you aren’t doing something right

I Feel Terrible About Your Experiences. And Moreso, The Guy Who Traveled Back To Marry His "Real" Girlfriend After Securing His Papers With Another Lady. I Read About This Quite Often. Why Do Some People Feel It's Okay To Use People As A Means To An End?



That is people for you dear. I can only pray for God to heal me. I don’t think I can ever love again. Even in marriage. To me it will always be a transaction first rather than love

You are so naive about white men and their family troubles. White men cheat on their wives/women just like any other race of men.

Please read what I wrote. Clearly you missed my point. I said normalize having a side chic... in the black community this is openly accepted

I think the issue is from a long time ago. But still, it's very wrong for someone to pass judgement on a one sided story.

You made it seem like you were the angel through out the course of the relationship and he was the devil.


Were you perfect through out?
Didn't he do anything for you? No matter how small, because i believe nobody is completely useless.

Did you do something for him and kept on hammering it into his ears thereby increasingly bruising his ego?

Did you at one point lost it and insult him or his background?

Did you take his peace away with constant nagging?

You don't really need to answer those questions, but the truth is that women love to play the victim role no matter the circumstances.
I'm sure if we ask him to recount his own ordeal, we might hear different things entirely.




I’m not perfect. I never said I was. This is an old issue. I grew up poor so I would never belittle anyone. I knew it would be sensitive so I would never... as the other op said..below. I can’t continue to explain this sorry

money changes people. The broke guy doesn’t really know himself at this point. What makes you think if he makes it, he will stick with you. Some men will start blaming you for their predicament and you will end up seeking comfort elsewhere statistics don’t lie 80% always leave How many men make it and keep their original wife, Steve harvey, Kevin hart, Tracy Morgan just to name a few. These men dropped their First Lady so as to upgrade to their current status. Not all men are bad but it’s an individual choice. Not being able to provide will make any woman unhappy. You don’t have to be a millionaire you just need to be able to provide for your family. Most women will pick money. Money doesn’t make you happy but it gives you options

A man is designed to woo a woman by proving to her that he is capable of taking care of her emotional, financial, spiritual and other needs. If a man is being taken care of by a woman, she somehow emansculate s him. She is indirectly telling him that he is not man enough for her needs. A man needs to make his own money to feel good about himself. If he isn't earning any money, no matter how much you give him, he will still feel bad with himself. After a while, he may begin the resent you and see you as bossy, pushy and overbearing.

I learnt this in a hard way, from experience.

Wow you understand what I went through. Wow. I’m grateful to meet someone who understands

Haba! You seem like one to complain/Nag a lot and now you've added cursing to it.

Well, i don't know about other people, but i wouldn't advise any man to go close to any woman with this two traits.

I never cursed her. Did you read what she wrote. She blamed me for mis treatment and instead of understanding my plight as a woman she said I mistreated him wanting him to heal from the pain an d confusion he brought into my life. Sir I will not argue with you. God bless you. Who am I to curse. She said he was a good man and I was to blame all I wished for her is for what she says is good to come into her life.

My dear that was just mind game. Always making you apologise for doing nothing wrong even when he is at fault. It's just to destroy your self esteem

I was foolish and in love. It breaks my heart too when men call women Gold diggers because they want a man who is financially stable. It’s unfortunate some men were hurt by bad women and now they frown upon women concerning money. Women just want to be provided for, loved, even if you have enough it doesn’t mean it’s time to have side chics.

A large percentage of men too if you pick them up and support them to become what you want them to be. They will leave you for an upgrade or start having side chics. At least if you meet him there you already know his personality as it pertains to money.

I pray God may help us dear. All I want out of life is just to meet a man who not only loves God but fears God. A man who loves me not as I am but as a child of a God. Love is simple but we humans complicate things . When you sow into a woman assure her, provide and strive to you will have a happy home. Nothing is perfect but if God is in the center you can pull through challenges.
