Okay calm down, take a long breather and an ice cold glass of water ontop.  shocked

Please, refer to me where I suggested she should stay? Perhaps, re-reading my inputs for better comprehensions is in order?

All the same, my sole input on this issue is; matters of the heart is something that should be handled delicately. You can offer your advice without imposing and telling people what they should or should not do! I sincerely think she should re-evaluate her relationship with this man. And parting ways seems to be the most rational option at this point. Precisely from an outsiders standpoint. However it should be done on her own terms.
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.

@Inked,

Although I co-sign with all you have said, however, don't you think you're coming off a bit too strong? And a tad insensitive to her situation?
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.

dear sisters i seek your advice,
and hope to be happy,
but i love the evans (his name) who cared for me!!
wont he be back??
maybe i'm the one who changed him!!
maybe i changed!!
i mean i think i'm still d same person but i'm not too sure anymore!!
i cry and ask him to stop huting me he apologise today and do the same tomorrow!!
he cares abt me i know as much but he doesn't burn for me anymore!!
he's never showed any signs of violence,
apart from once when he was drunk and shattered my dress,  nothing like hitting me or anything just dragging me away from whom he thought
was my lover,  and repeatedly asked me if the man was more important than him,  so maybe he's just scared and he uses what he has to protect himself.

after this episode it took him 2 days to apologise,
and he promised to stop alcohol!!
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:
i tried doing the same thing to him but we got into a fight,  and repeatedly hurted ourselves,
now i'm the type of person that doesn't have the right words at the right moment,
i never know what to say to convey my feelings seriously so i just say the most hurtful words in my vocabulary
i questioned him once,  i asked him if he likes her (my sister i mean) but he said he actually despise her not that much nut doesn't like her
and moreover i thnk he seeks of her approval,  just like the same thing he does with my mum,
i mean for him they are the ideal of a lady but not me,
he doesn't even like my cooking,  everyone likes my cooking but him,
and recently i'm feeling this pressure and i'm having less confidence in my skills and i0m becoming less good,  i no more like what i prepare,
i dunno what to give him to eat,  doesn't eat bread-- doesn't like eggs or pancakes,  ok doesn't eat sugar.
preferes  my sisters beans,  my mums soups,  then what do i have left??
maybe i really should give up!!

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 can i do?? he's already gone to all the members of my family to present himself,
how can i let go now,  hw can i face my family members??
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:
are u saying i should perhaps change as well??
i mean showing him the dark side of me??
or maybe go seperate ways?? huh huh huh huh huh
coz i dunno if i love him anymore,
i mean b4 getting a kiss he waited 5 whole months,
and i'm sure he was faithfull coz he was with me day and night all these months
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?

What's the difference between a submissive wife and a submissive husband? Why does the notion of a submissive husband bear negative connotation whereas a submissive wife is most men's dream? No wonder many of our women are in useless marriages!
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:
This is a very interesting topic,
the man i'm dating and hopefully will marry
is a kind of both but recently is starting to become in-decipherable.
i mean when he still was courting me he was a lot sub-massive,
comprehensable,  loving,  dearing,  caring,
but now that he's tasted d fruit he's become dominant
annoying, boring, stressfull,
i've been biting my tounge for long but i don't know how to make him understand i'm really not liking him this way,
he's always comparing me to other women,  especially my sister,
while having XEX b4 he'd make me lots of compliments,
but now he remains quiet from beginning to the end,
and i don't even know when he reaches climax,  he remains queit even then,  i dunno what to do anymore,  i ask him sometimes
what he'd like me to do but he gets angry and asks me,  is this the kind of question to ask?? do what u want,  now i dunno hw to be submassive but anytime i asks him to cool down a bit he'll get all offensive and run head over heels,  and he definately knows i'm more educated than he is but he always want to prove me wrong,  telling me don't argue over things i know,  and i gently reply honey but it's wrong,  this is how it goes!! and he'll insist he's right,  now not to be offensive i mean i know a lot better so shut your mouth and listen, (what i'd like to say) but no man likes being dominated by their wives/girl etc angry angry angry angry
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?

@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.

MarcAnthon:
To be in control and to be controlling/domineering are two diff things.

btw, you don't want a submissive man and u seem to suggest u also don't want a man that takes the driver's seat as well so what do you really want from your man? Just asking. . .
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.

Not all of us are the same. We don't all want to be controlled or dominated.
RomanceRe: A Christian Marrying A Muslim And Vice Versa: How Does That Play Out? by InkedNerd(f): 2:47am On Jan 04, 2012
@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.

Allahu Akbar.  The Lord has proven again that He is still as He was in the time past. The same yesterday, today and forever.  My wife gave birth to a bouncing baby boy on Xmas day. If you will recall, my wife is a Xtian while am Muslim. The naming ceremony was on 1st of January and the special boy has been named Mohammed Emmanuel. Now, can you all see that GOD has special uncommon love for my family? We married for LOVE and GOD is living permanently with us. Halleluyah!

I love my Fiance (not as much as i was into my ex).We separated just to make her parents happy, I have compared my current girlfriend with my ex and it became obvious at some point to my current girlfriend that i was comparing her with the Ex.Like i said,I didn't disturb or bug my ex when she called off the relationships way back in 2008 even though it was a tough decision i had to make, I have been with my current lady for more than two years now.I only started getting in touch with my ex after we met last June in a conference,and she was really happy i was doing fine in the  career she motivated me to do,Honestly,I miss that aspect of her, Yeah,my fiance is a reserve person,Not talking much,not much older(23) ,sometimes,she discourages me from pursing what will take me away from her vicinity.she sometimes thinks am too ambitious.Yeah,she is just opposite my Ex.
I also have some sympathy for my Ex(she invested in me and the relationship those days,she had to go through 3 painful abortions and she told me till date she hasn't gotten over the experience),
Does this answer your question now?I love this current lady,But my Ex was an amazing girl i wont quickly forget
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.
