Acidosis:Yes, I would continue to wear trousers that fits me at age 60, even 80 sef. That is my call to make and not the society's. Would you say I'm dressing for a man too then? |
Eddygourdo:If men knew what they really wanted, they wouldn't be hopping from one woman to another. Y'all are just as confused. |
Acidosis:e.g? And why do you guys assume that we ALWAYS dress to please you? For example, when I'm on my period I love to wear trousers so that my sanitary towel can stay in place. There are times I want to wear something free due to heat. Most importantly, my dress mode is usually based on my mode of transportation for the day. Why should I have to confine myself just because I'm married? Please leave women alone to make their choice about what they want to wear. Not everything we do is about men. |

agbomere12:I like your mindset. At the same time, I think a woman should be able to say that she built her house by herself. There's nothing wrong with that. Better still, she can say it belongs to you both. Personally, I'd like to feel fulfilled as a woman too especially when crossing major milestones. But it's still her choice though. |
grandlexuz:So you think a wife is being sold to you? Issorai. |
omron:What?! What exactly is your advice? That we should be like your mom? We should keep quiet like her while being treated with such disrespect just to respect our husband so that peace can reign and we can stay married? I'm sorry but what did your mum gain at the end of the day? Her house being set ablaze or her getting locked out of her home? You sound like you agree with how your dad treated your mum. I see no genuine love and understanding here, I'm sorry. Chai! Good help us women. |
Orlarmie:Please guy, that is a heresy. There is nothing like ego in the bible. The bible only talks about pride and we all know how God feels about it. Please for your sake, don't say what you don't know. |
sukkot:I didn't cone here to argue with you o. I just found your comment ironic. So women are not allowed to have egos, it becomes a crime. But men are allowed to. Issorai. |
Someone is trying to retrace her steps and you want to be a stumbling block? And she is not a virgin, so? Is like saying a non-virgin deserves to be raped. People change, leave her alone please if you don't love her enough. |
Who stop them? ![]() Nobody wants to be your slave, deal with it. Ego tripping mofos ![]() |
The info you gave us is one-sided na. Personally, I have no qualms in contributing financially if the man recipocrates. Where I have a problem is when I have to do every other thing in the home including contributing financially. Haba, I'm not a super woman na. It is called eating your cake and having it. Maybe you have hinted to your fiance before that you are not going to be a hands-on husband and she has in return decided that she'll leave you to be the sole breadwinner. These are things you should have talked about at this stage in your relationship. It won't be fair for you to expect a financially independent woman slash 19th century woman as a wife when men I've since moved on from being the 19th century sole breadwinner. You are just going to drain her both physically and psychologically. You don't want to end up with a bitter wife. On the other hand, if none of this is the case, then you need to have a serious talk with her immediately. It is called tough love. Sit her down and decide how family expenses and chores will be handled. Both of you would have to make a compromise one way or the other. If you can't work this out now, then you are probably making a huge mistake in your choice of spouse. It simply means you don't complement or suit each other. It might be time to end this. |
armylord:Lol, I've seen your pic. No, you are not him. I don't think he's active either. You look good though. But I noticed something during my snooping around. You seem to have a problem with Nairaland ladies but you also seem to be following quite a lot of then ![]() |
9jatatafo:And men are angels. Okay ![]() |
sukkot:Ego tripping? Lmaooo...... coming from a man? Nice try dude ![]() |
Idrismusty97:Should I honestly tell you guys why you are so scared? It is because you make us feel indebted to you for the things you do for us too. So you automatically assume that you would be treated the same way if the case was reversed. Change your views on your woman first, it is then you'll start building your true confidence such that it is not linked to your financial capability and yes, she would respect you all the same. I think this issue has more to do with your ego as men than we being disrespectful as women. The truth is a disrespectful woman is a disrespectful woman whether in your house or in hers. What usually happens in this scenario is that, you pick on things she does that you'd have probably overlooked if it was your house and tag her as starting to be disrespectful. When in the real sense, she was always that way. It is more about insecurity on your part really. |
RadicallyBlunt:Higher in brain really? Upon all, dem still first you for class. In fact, from your write up alone, it is obvious you are not as sound as you think you are. |
spill:Even if she is respectful you will still see the slightest thing she does as her being disrespectful. Something you wouldn't care about if it was your house. And what helpmate has got to do with building house is what I don't get. Men and their ego. |
As early as they can understand English please. Too many predators out there these days. Instead of using the if a man touches you, you'll get pregnant trope, start with if uncle or aunty touches you here and there, you will keep peeing on yourself. Now that one can embarrass them. Teach them to scream too. And when they are being bathed by someone other than you, they should wash their bum bum themselves. This means you have to teach them to do that too. |
Nairaland! Nairaland! Why do you guys do this? This post was on BN yesterday and it has nothing to do with relationship. "HOW SOCIAL MEDIA AND 5 CUPS OF WATER A DAY SAVED MY SELF ESTEEM" here, fixed it for you ![]() |
joey150:I just feel it makes him childish and not confident enough. I find a man who is confident even in his weakness very sexy. I get your point but the worst thing that can happen is to lash out at my friend. I really don't mind if the friend tells me initially sha. |
BiafraBushBoy:I honestly pray you let go of the bitterness against women in your heart. It is a sincere prayer really. |
Op just confess say na you. |
Lmao, for once I thought you were my boyfriend. I know he visits NL. Something similar happened to us but the details don't add up. I was scared........damn ![]() |
joey150:Lol, I still had that issh with a guy recently. I kept asking him and he kept using me to play ludo. Of course I got irritated with him and he still had the nerve to say I had an attitude. I lashed him so hard and told him that all that could have been avoided if he had just been upfront. Truth is, he was a cute guy and seemed intelligent. But his sense of entitlement to me giving him details about myself when I didn't even know him from jack was such a huge turn off. I've cut him off and I don't regret it ![]() |
thesicilian:I really don't get your point. Why should it be a shame to spread our undies outside? I remember being taught as a teenager during an always campaign that it is actually better to air your undies outside for hygienic reasons so as to avoid mold and all. Have you ever tried swimming? I didn't really understand the reason for skimpy dressing until my boyfriend started teaching me how to swim. You really don't need clothings weighing you down in the water because you need to float. You also don't want to wear something tight so that you can breath properly. It is not rocket science. I wear a swimming trunk by the way but I wish I could swim with less clothing but definitely not in this judgmental society. And about not wearing singlet, why do we like to do ourselves in this country? Do you think our great grandmothers wore singlets and tights under their aso-okes? Do you know what kind of climate we live under? Tropical climate for heaven's sake. All that heat for what? So that we wouldn't be called indecent? That some can do it doesn't mean everyone has to. I can't stand heat in my life. Breeding ground for body odour. Please all the points you raised are extremely one-sided and I don't think you thought them through well enough. Not everything we do is because we are trying to attract attention from men. There are actually cogent reasons for them. |
First of all, why would you slap a man? A naija man for that matter? Are you dumb? Can you defend yourself if he decides to pounce on you or is there even a legal system to defend you? Ladies please, let us advise ourselves, it is never a good idea no matter how angry you are. That said, guys be honest with yourselves please. You are no match for a woman strength-wise. When a woman hits you, she is most likely upset and not necessarily angry. (Check the dictionary for the difference, it is in the context.) She is not necessarily trying to hurt you and there is usually no power play involved. She is just trying to let go of steam. On the other hand, when a man hits, it is usually due to bruised ego and trying to put a woman in her place. Motive is what we should note here. Just like rape is more about power than sex so is domestic abuse when coming from a man in particular. There is not much harm a slap from a woman can do to you than a bruised ego and it is not life-threatening. Now don't get me wrong, there are women that can be abusive especially when they start caring pestle, knife, hot water, etc. For all it's worth, disarm her with a punch if necessary, run and sue the hell out of her. I will back you up on that. This is only applicable if she hits first. If she is defending herself with any of this, it is still on you. However, retaliating when a woman slaps you just because your ego is bruised is a no in my book. You'd have lost all moral justification by then. Just my two cents. |
MissGdope:My sister, your are so spot on. Guys don't know that we can smell their lies from miles away. Just tell me how you got my number, it is not that deep. It is not a crime to steal number from someone's phone so long as it is not the owner's partner. And this goes for both genders. I was the first to actually call my current boyfriend. He is cute and all. I told him how I got his number before he even asked. And because he is mature, he was cool with it. I think me being honest with him actually got him to be open with me. He got to know me better and eventually asked me out about 3 months later. It is really not that deep mehn. |
Youngpo413:And yet people get married every Saturday. Would you say that about a man? ![]() |
What kind of stupid thread is this? Your first point that all women do it is a fallacy. I have never done it before and I believe I'm not alone on this. Op speak for yourself please. I so hate stupid generalizations like this. They cause more harm than good. One yeye underaged teen boy or girl will come here now and take your words as yea and amen. Mtchew! |
Undiluted ego. Major turn off. |
Op, I don't get your point really. You said someone judged you at face value and you are hurt. She is deceitful, I agree. But she's only human. At some point or the other, you must have judged someone at face value in your life, init? We react to people based on how we percieve them. Or is it the rich/poor factor? I really don't get you. Now you wanting to revenge and "furk" her and dump her, how exactly is it going to make you feel better? Truth is, it makes you a worse person than the girl in question and as of now you don't have any moral justification to question how she treated you. You are no good person yourself. I've been hurt by guys too. Plenty times. You know what I do? I pick myself up and move on and try hard not to make the same mistakes again. It has never crossed my mind to treat subsequent guys like with revenge or to repay someone who hurt me in his own coin. Plotting all that is exhausting and is not really worth it. What do I stand to gain? You'll only feel terrible afterwards. The way you are planning to handle this is a coward's way. A mature person will tell the said girl right to her face that she is a gold-digger simple. She'll feel terrible all the same and you'd have made your point. And guess what, she might just have a rethink of her life choices. You revenging will make her resentful and probably plot her own revenge on another unsuspecting guy and the cycle just goes on and on, all for what? The power to end this is in your hands right now. I sincerely hope you make the right decision. Be honest with yourself, you haven't healed yet as it is very obvious from your write up that you are still very much pained. She has probably bruised your self esteem. You can blame her for what she did to you, but how you react to it is on you. Let it go and heal dude. |
