eatme:Where did I say that you said she should stay? I simply asked you a question with a hypothetical question which you did not answer. Overall, I agree that situations where there is abuse of any form should be handled delicately. I can at least agree to that but I don't agree that upon that belief just because it is a matter of the heart means that we should be looking the other way while someone is in clear danger. Its the idea of it being a matter of that heart that enables abuse like that to continue. Suppose she had said that he was beating her senseless everyday, would you still be treading lightly on this discussion? And for the record, don't tell me to "calm down" or "take a long breather and an ice cold glass of water ontop". I take matters of abuse seriously. If you don't the that's fine but its not something that I take lightly. I'm not upset or fired up but even if I was, why shouldn't I be? We have a nation of people being abused left and right yet people have a blasé manner of approaching such things. It creates a perpetuating cycle of abuse and enables these things to keep happening therefore becoming a normal aspect of the society we inhabit. |
eatme:No, I do not. I'm not one of those people that's gonna sit around and wait till I see news of her demise on some Nigerian newspaper all because I was "coming off a bit too strong". You mean to tell me that if your daughter or sister came to you and tells you that they are with a man who is treating them like this despite their attempts to talk to him and resolve the issue, you'd tell them to just stay? Is that what you're saying? From one human being to another, yes I cannot dictate her life but as a young woman, I will not sit by and watch my sisters suffer all because of these ridiculous beliefs that we have about always try to work things out in a relationship. Some relationships are only meant to be resolved by putting a complete end to it. And no I am not being insensitive. Time and time again, I have seen my African sister subject themselves to such treatment while people sit by and do nothing. I for one will not be one of those people. If you or other people want to be such people then go ahead, be my guest but I will have no part in that. I have seen the nature of some men [and women] and how they treat women [and men]. I have seen the looks of despair and pain in the eyes of the youths that come to the youth center I work at so I refuse to stand by and not say or do anything. 3ndy:Smh, my sister why oh why are you doing this to yourself? If he is dragging you away and ripping your dress while drunk, why wouldn't you expect his to become violent? |
3ndy: LEAVE HIM!!!! Are you waiting for him beat you black and blue till you realize that he's no good for you? What kind of example would you be setting if you ended up having kids with him? Please my sister, I'm begging you leave this man. He is slowly stripping you of all your worth!! What's truly sad and heart wrenching is that you see this happening and have done nothing about it. From one woman to another, please think about what this man is doing to you. Is this the kind of life you want all because you care about what others have to say? 3ndy:What do you mean "What can I do?" Does he own you?!?!?! You mean to tell me that you'd endure a lifetime of ABUSE all because you don't want your family to know that the man is no good for you? Is that what you want? A life of pain?!?! |
3ndy:I'm not saying you should change, I'm saying you need to leave this man!!! The mere fact that you've expressed your feelings and concerns with him only to be met with anger shows the kind of man that he is. Why would you subject yourself to that? Is it when he starts beating you that you'll realize what type of person he is? Faithful or not, is that any reason for him to speak to you like you're some dog? Lemme ask you something, if you were to compare him to other men, what kind of reaction would you be met with? If you flipped the script and did everything he does to you to him, what would his reaction be? Do you expect him ti change his behavior? Within no time, you will be a compliant punching bag for him? Also, why does he compare you to your sister? |
eatme:I'm glad you asked that because I was just about to say the same thing. Sadly, we live in a society where it is something that is expected of a woman to sheepishly follow a mean. I noticed tellwisdom said "you mean mugu??" which makes me wonder if he's referring to a submissive guy as a mugu then what is a submissive woman? It's usually goes back to notions of women being the "weaker" sëx thus making it socially acceptable for the perception that male dominance over a woman is acceptable. 3ndy:My dear, please stop making excuses for this person you call a man. He is talking down to you but it appears that you are completely blinded by what you saw in the beginning. He is now showing you his true colors yet you're still accepting his behavior. Him speaking to you like that, is that any way for a man, partner, lover, boyfriend, etc. to speak to their partner? If he is acting this way now, please tell me why would you expect him to be any different if you two were to get married? |
ekwah:I wasn't sure what else to say to him. I was just annoyed with the whole thing. At first I just waned to say to him "Go fück yourself!" |
@OP: Love is temporary insanity ![]() |
@OP: I haven't gotten married so as of today, I have spent $0.00 on my wedding ![]() |
I wouldn't really say its weird but I will says it made me a bit uncomfortable. Anyway, this is how it went: Guy: I wanna have a baby with you. Me: → → ![]() Guy: Just one? Please? Me: I don't want a kid now. Guy: C'mon, just one? Me: ![]() |
@OP: If I had a boyfriend and found out that he has räped someone before, I'd put an end to the relationship. Regardless of whether or not he is is my "dream guy", I can't bear he thought of being with someone who has causes that kind of pain towards another human being. Even if he says he has been rehabilitated, I still couldn't be with him. I would only have to part ways with him, wish him luck, and hope that he never commits such an act again. |
@OP: People use the word 'forever' for three reasons 1) they genuinely mean it 2) people are stüpid and for whatever reason choose to listen to fairytale's instead of being rational 3) people will chose to hear what they want to hear. |
Flashaldrin:Because I have to take it. It's a required course and it fits perfectly in my schedule. It's not my fault the class is easy nor is it my fault that its a class I need to take. So in the end, it all works out for me ![]() Inked_Nerd's going to get an A+!!! ![]() |
@topic: My is ok. The cold here is kicking my äss ![]() |
MarcAnthon:I know that to be in control and be controlling are two different things. All I said was that we're not all like that. You said "Last time I heard, ladies want their man to be in control." which is untrue. Some women enjoy that while others don't which is why I pointed out that not all of use are the same. As for whether or not I want a man "in the driver's seat", when it comes dating and relationships, I expect a level of fairness in such things. I wouldn't expect that the the person I'm with will control or dominate me and he shouldn't expect that I would do that to him. For there to be submissiveness, there would need to e some level or control/dominance on one partners part. With that being said, that is not something I want, expect, or desire in a relationship. I don't mind the idea of a man taking charge of his life but to do that to my own, that's a different story. |
@OP: No, I do not want a submissive man. MarcAnthon:Not all of us are the same. We don't all want to be controlled or dominated. |
@OP: I have no qualms dating someone who doesn't posses the same religious views as I just as long as the individuals doesn't try to impose their views or religion on me. As for children and religion, that is something that I always make sure I discuss beforehand. If we're going to raise children, then I would prefer if we would allow our child to be aware of both our views and from there, he/she can decide what whether or not they want to pursue a life that consists of any specific religions or religious beliefs. simpleseyi:Congratulations! May you and your wife continue to be blessed with more gifts of this New Year! ![]() |
goodsegs:goodsegs, you're not over this girl at all. If you say you love your current girlfriend just because you don't wanna hurt her or break her heart then I think you need to reevaluate what loving her truly means to you. It wouldn't be fair for the both of you to be in a relationship when your heart clearly belongs to someone else. I know this may sound wrong, but presently, does her family still feel the same way about you or do they still want you to have nothing to do with their daughter? It's not the best feeling in the world when you heart yearns for someone you can't have. It'll only eat you up even more inside. Be very honest with yourself if you're going to make any decisions on what you want to do. If you know that there are things you're not admitting to yourself then these are things you need to resolve. |
How's everyone doing today? ![]() |

@topic: My day was ok, but it was very cold!! I was shivering like crazy freecocoa:Nothing happened. We just had a good night. It was fun but I was so tired afterwards. sauer:lol, pele. No vex. Maybe next times you can come. In fact, I think I'd like to have an actual birthday party next year |
For me, this is a personal must read for those who want to explore aspects of feminism, "The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory" by Carol J. Adams ![]()

@OP: Hmmm, I think people say it so it won't seem as though they left on a bad not. I've always tried to remain on mutual grounds with people I have been involved with [just for the say of being nice/courteous] but it never seems to work out. In fact, now that I look back at it I don't recall being being "friends" with anyone who I have parted ways. In the end, it just seems like all aspects of our relationship has desolved. By the way, happy new year Roland17!! |
Manolapix:No mind the yeye homophobe here. On a serious not, I don't think you'll have much luck finding gay Nigerian guys here. My best friend knows a Nigerian in New York who's gay but I don't know the guy personally. I've only seen pics of him and from the looks of it, he seems like he's still in high school. All I can say though is be careful if you're trying to meet gay guys here on Nairaland. Some people can be really sheisty. |
My day is just startin'!! I'm gonna be going out in about an hour or two with my best friend. We're gonna go ice skating, then he's gonna take me to a special bakery in Manhattan to get a custom made giant cupcake, then we're gonna go to a restaurant for dinner, then after that we'll head over to our favorite bar in Greenwich Village. I can't wait!!! ![]() |
goodsegs:Just take time to think about things. It'll all work out. |
