Not really surprising, I don’t see how someone will grow up on a one-gender island and not swing both ways

If u like urinate 10 times before second round, if u go in raw there is 80% chance she might get pregnant.

Wrong! Not a good way to see marriage. Marriage for me is actually a blessing. You just have to get it right from the beginning.
Getting married to the right partner will solve this problem by half.

I'm afraid that your observations are on point cos I have the same observations as well.

The most recent was my cousin brother who got married in 2020 before the lockdown, as I'm writing this we barely talk these days, even to reply WhatsApp messages na war. And when he does it's one complain or the other, ranging from how things are hard and since I'm single and an only child, I should assist him financially, to how his wife has changed, to how their one year old child consumes food like an adult... etc.

To understand him much better, I decided to put myself in his shoes. I'm a single guy, I renewed my rent last month (April) and I sat down to calculate all my monthly expenses. Data, fuel, gotv/Netflix, electricity, security, LAWMA, feeding, gas, miscellaneous...etc.

My point is if a woman comes on board that budget would tripple cos kids would be expected, she might want you to open a business for her, courtesy of your pocket, she might come with her younger sister to help out whose training and welfare would be on you, she would sometimes want you to assist her family eg, parents, siblings writing exams, school fees, rent...etc.

Now while your expenses has tripled, your income most times remains the same or even lower, you would resort to borrowing just to sustain your home, of which she won't even appreciate cos according to her, it's not enough, other men out there like you are performing much better for their families. You would live all your life working to finance the home, even your own kids would be strangers to you and love her more when she buys them Christmas clothes from the money you gave to her. They would grow up loving her as a sweet mom and vow never to see her suffer. forgetting all the sacrifices and dreams you gave up just to give them a better life. After pondering through all these, I understood my cousin's situation much better.

If I'm to be honest there's nothing special about marriage, it's more or less like bondage for men. And benefits only the women. Marriages if you have noticed have have reduced greatly, there are so many guys in their 30s and even 40s who aren't even talking about settling down. Would you blame them....of course not.

Women these days aren't helping matters. They dump the larger chunk of the financial responsibility on the man in the name of men are the head so it's his responsibility to cater for the home. But what they don't understand is God created women as a helpmeet, meaning they're there to lessen the budern of the man and not to add to it.

Open any topic here on Nairaland and talk about responsibilities in the home. More than 99% of the female replies would be that it's the job of the man and the man alone.

Women need to change such mindset, cos it has killed and drained the honey of millions of marriages.

Quite impossible, but if the wife can bring 20k too I think it is possible. With 50k the two can survive.

pocohantas:
Lol. I read somewhere that a girl refused to breakup with her abusive bf because he has washing machine and Midea AC.

Omo, e get as sapa go knack you, you go begin reason the devil you know.

I don’t even know if it would get better. I only hope we are all fine out there.

Nicepoker:
Airfoce 1 did more than this. Today he is a baby daddy. Don't end up like airfoce one.

Lana1:
We need players like Vinicus at United. Neither world class nor average but he understands the assignment and he'll die on that pitch.

Jazzman01:
Forget that thing, they still do it codedly.

BlueAngel444:
how many of those goals were his fault and not due to the defenders

hopefulLandlord:
yes. Thibaut Courtois miracles was vital yeah, he was just letting easy balls go in.
nope

hopefulLandlord:
How does his conceding goals take away from him? are you saying for a keeper to win Balon d'Or he has to keep clean sheets and not concede any goal?

For the record Courtois made 59 saves, most ever in a single UCL campaign since 04, also most ever saves in a UCL final (9). Half of those were also unreal match-winning saves.

hopefulLandlord:
I need someone to change my mind. I'm of the opinion that Thibaut Courtois deserves Balon d'Or and there's no way he could've done any better. Benzema helped us win games but Courtois made us stay long enough in it for Benz to do his work. There's outfield bias in these awards too and the further upfield you are the better your chances. Courtois makes 3 saves at 0-0. Benzema then scores 2 Courtois then still makes 3 world class saves afterwards to keep it 2-0. MOTM? Karim Benzema. Even if he isn't awarded the MOTM most discussion boards would still talk about him like he is.

NB: This is not intended to sheet on Benzema or to undermine his part in these trophies we won but I still think Thibaut Courtois deserves Balon d'Or ahead of him despite him being unarguably our most important outfield player
