Cynluv: 2yrs dating not 4yrs,we dont live same state,he lives @ ph while I stay in enugu.I think he is financial ok cos he kept on telling me things he bought etc and if he doesn't have d money at d moment why can't he explain dat to me,I will understand cos I love him so much than promising dat he will send it dis week, nxt week and so on bt will never do dat.if I complain he will just say dat he is sorry!.the worst part of it is dat if even I got angry and say that I won't talk to him or pick his calls bt whn he calls me I will nt have d mind to ingoner his calls 4 once.why is dat so. He could've been telling you about things he bought just to impress you. It may not be true. Men can do that sometimes. It's quite clear you love this man & would accept him regardless of his financial situation, but is he sure of that? Have you reassured him that it doesn't matter to you if he is well off financially or not? If he's promising the money/gifts and he's not sending them no matter how much you complain, it's because he doesn't have the money & he doesn't know how to tell you that. Have you and him met in person before? Have you been to his house? |

De Tus: @HisRib, you're doing a wonderful job so far. Are u paid for this job? Am just curious :-) Hello, Yes, I'm a relationship counselor. That's my bread & butter. But, what I'm doing on here is just a fraction of what I do. It's no big deal. I'm just helping out my fellow brothers & sisters on nairaland by giving free advice to those who need it, but of course I also have clients who pay me for extensive counseling and life coaching, outside of nairaland. :-) |

Energito: the problem the guy have with the girl is that the is hot temper type which made the guy to always be afraid of talkin to her about that.but to say the gal love my guy so much So, he's afraid to tell her something she's doing is bothering him because she has a hot temper? Is this how a loving relationship should be? Absolutely not. Your partner should you be your best friend. You should be able to have these conversations. Communication plays a big role in the success of any relationship. He needs to be a man & confront the situation. There's no other way to get around it. |

Cynluv: I have been dating this guy 4 two years,he doesn't keep to his promises always promise and fail...whn it comes to money same thing.now we have done our first and second marriage introduction.he still doesn't keep his promises in terms of gift n money.should I contiune d marriage or not.or will he change after our traditional and white wedding? Hi, I have a few questions for you: 1) If you accepted this throughout the 4 years you two were dating, why does it bother you all of a sudden? 2) Have you ever talked to him about this? Is he even aware of the fact that this bothers you? 3) I'm thinking, Maybe he hasn't kept his promises in terms of gifts & money because he doesn't have the money at the moment. Are you aware of his financial status? I need more information. |

Isk: Attraction is not just a physical thing. If you say you're attracted to the fact that he's learned and is down to earth that means there's attraction. So, I am not quite understanding what is the problem. I guess what you're trying to say is that there's no spark. There's no excitement. Am I correct? I suggest that you give yourself time to get to know him. Sometimes one date is not enough. Spend some time with him and see what happens. That's all I can tell you. The spark doesn't come right away from everyone. For some people it really takes time before they start building that spark/excitement. If in a couple months you still don't feel the spark, this man is not for you. |

Energito: Hi please i have sumtin to ask. My friend has bn dating her g.f for 1yr now when the girl broke up with his ex,my guy and the g.f love eachother so much which i know but my guy told me that her G.F ex b.f started calling her g.f on phone since this month telling her that he want her back.he also told me that he allow the girl to pick ex call whenever he called her G.F not minding that both of them spend upto 45mins talking on phone.the guy has bn asking me if it is good to allow that? Not a good idea. Not a good idea at all. I don't think I even need to explain why this is not a good idea. As a woman, I respect my man enough to know talking to my ex all the time & having 45 mins conversations is extremely disrespectful to our relationship. If it bothers your friend, he needs to tell her to stop doing that. A woman who behaves this way has no respect for her man or their relationship. The only advice I can give here is -- find women who respect you. Leave disrespectful women alone. |

Isk: Hi, Hi Dear, You mentioned you are not attracted to this man. Do you find him physically attractive, even just a little bit? Is there anything about him that you may find attractive? If the answer is no, I am intrigued as to why you accepted his offer to a date. My assumption is, you are accepted his offer because he has a decent job and is probably stable financially. That's what made you gravitate towards him. Am I correct? A lady I counseled last year had a similar story, she married a man she wasn't attracted to and even going into the marriage was unsure of her decision, she too believed things will work themselves out with time. The man was very successful and when his business crumbled, her love for him started to go away. When she came to see me last year, she came seeking for advice because she wanted a divorce. When I asked her why, she told me her story. Till this day I continue to counsel her because she says she can't forgive herself for what she did. She says if she didn't marry the man, he would've found the right woman and have lived a happy life. Also, she's upset because she has ruined her own life. If nothing excites you about this man, just let him be. The right man for you will come. In 2013, a lot marriages end in divorce. Marriages are not what they once used to be. That is why taking your time and making the right decision has become a lot more crucial. That is why these days people date for a while before marriage. That is why these days women don't get married early like they used to. Please don't rush into anything. Take your time and Mr. right will come and make you a very happy woman. 1 Like |

Bryt B: Hi,pls my 1st nd only gf lies nd cheat.i met her 3yrs ago, bt discovered dat 9mnths later.so i became careful wit her by nt showin her hw much i care fully even tho i luv her so much.she jst agreed 4mnths ago abt her lies nd cheatin nd beggin 2 get back my luv fully.d problem nw is dat, i dnt trust her to have change 4 real.pls advise Dear, Ask yourself if this is the kind of woman you want to be with and potentially marry? Do you want such a woman to be the mother of your children? Do you think you will be able to be build a stable/happy home with her? I'm a big believer in second chances. Sometimes people genuinely make mistakes and deserve another chance, but it seems like this woman has cheated on you multiple times and will probably continue to do so. I know you love her, but You really need to take some time to think about everything. My advice to you: tell her you want to take a break from the relationship. During this break, give yourself some space to think this whole thing through. Don't call/message/see her. This is your time to reflect. Additionally, take this time to enjoy some time with your friends. I also recommend you go on a few dates with other girls. Just take a chance to see what else is out there. I'm asking you to do this because it will help you regain your confidence. A man who is cheated on by his woman loses his confidence and becomes insecure. You're probably at a very low point in your life right now because of what this girl has done to you, so you need to regain your self esteem. After your break. You will be at a better state, emotionally and mentally, to decided whether you want to continue with the relationship or not. P.S: you sound like a great guy. Please don't allow this woman to abuse you this way. You can do so much better and you deserve better. I hope you will follow my advice! 1 Like |

okpara ugo: There is this girl I like. When I toasted her, she fell for me after 2 weeks and started being nice. One morning, she cried on phone that she might be jilted after developing feelings for me. from that day she started being very cold towards me. I know she wants marriage.. but I don't like this approach. Hi Dear, I understand your frustration. As you beautifully stated, feelings are meant to grow and develop to maturity. The average African woman doesn't quite understand the concept of dating. In her mind if you are dating her that means you are now forced to marry her. If you've explained this to her and she still doesn't understand, there's nothing much I can advise you to do. She simply needs to be patient and allow things to develop naturally. I would never ever advise anyone to rush into marriage. I have seen many people do it and regret it after. I have men in their 50s calling me for counseling and crying about wishing they had taken their time to pick a wife. Can you imagine waking up with that feeling every morning? Please take your time. If this girl still continues to give you a hard time, you're going to have to decide whether you want to propose and just marry her, or let her go. |

He was invited to pay a visit to America by Bush, Taylor got missing, only for him to be captured at the point of crossing to another Border... Now, why was OBJ invited to America by Bush? Lol, the guy tell am many things naa.. Twist him hand. Warn am wella. Who you be? Oyaa release that Criminal before we open your nyansh.... Was i there? Nope!

ROSSIKE: Intra-African trade is increasing by the day. There are roads being built that connect all of West Africa. Even rail projects are in the pipeline. Nigerian and SA companies are setting up branches across the continent etc. These things will take time to fully develop. It was only 50 years ago African nations became free to do anything. We need to be patient. And see the way Indians are treated like royalty in Nigeria, meanwhile in India Nigerians are being killed and persecuted. Why don't we chase them out? This is why I respect Robert Mugabe. He's no one's puppet. 2 Likes 1 Share |

GeneralShepherd: Good evening Hisrib, hope you are doing great? Hi There, So this woman has a bf, yet she's sleeping with you and is having sleepovers with you at her place? If she can do this to her current bf, what makes you think she won't cheat on you as well? Especially since sex means nothing to her. Is this is the type of woman you want to date & eventually marry? You're willingly throwing yourself into the lion's den. Here's my advice: You either go against you sister's wishes & make her your girlfriend or stop sleeping with her! If you choose to make her your girl, make sure you discuss her sex life. You don't want her sleeping with other men while she's dating you just like she's doing to her current bf. Listen, you're only 26. Don't worry, you have time to find the right woman. You can't be acting desperate like this. If she refuses to date you & you two can't be "just friends", avoid her in all ways possible. Move on with your life. |

faakay: @relationship expert Okay, before I go ahead and answer your question I must tell you what you did was not good. You shouldn't play such games especially with a person that is friends with your girlfriend. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. As for you, I don't think you are a good boyfriend. I sincerely hope you won't do this again. If you do it again, I hope your gf will smarten up and leave you for a man who will treat her better. As for that girl, clearly she wants something from you. You know it as well as I know it. Stay away from her and advise your friend to be very careful with her. Why is she texting her friend's man? I could never give any of my bf's friends my phone number. For what? All of you need to smarten up. |

biafranqueen: this is correct and once they have peace in the Congo the Western world would be brought to their knees. Also the product that makes flat screen TV is from here. Anybody that thinks white supremacy has nothing to do with the conflict in Congo is a brainwashed fool. They keep the conflict going so they can control the person controlling the mines. Divide and conquer the oldest tactic used since they discover Africa. Africans are to blame to keep falling for such nonsense and not realizing they have more to gain. When you are worried about just staying alive and finding food the masses will not rise up against those looting the resources! Great points! Sometimes I just want to cry for Africa. Will the West ever leave us alone or at least try to treat us fairly? 1 Like 1 Share |

I guess we should all just give up on life. Isn't life worth living? Same way with relationships. The goal is to take your time & find someone who will be worth all the effort.
