RomanceRe: How Do You Know That A Girl Truly Loves You? by Leoniine(f): 11:53am On Mar 19, 2020
That's a phrase from BTS, by the way.

But that's the easiest and most effective way.

Loving yourself weeds out a lot of toxicity from your life. Because you automatically won't take any shit treatment, masquerading as love. Then it helps you love better, too.

There's so many benefits...

Been having this dilemma for sometime now. Deciphering the truth behind ladies' mannerisms and behavior is getting increasingly difficult.
So, beyond romantic love, how does one find out if a girl truly loves him?
Love Yourself.

I get ur points but you can't compare emotional investment to financial one.
I would tell you same. Because you're painting women to be the lazy ones here, who only knows how to be demanding.


The reason why most guys are struggling today is bcus the financial demand of the society has overwhelmed them and that is why it's spilling over to the ladies to pick up the tab.
Oh, wow. You're justifying why women should work now. I thought a man is the head and a woman must only cook and take care of kids. Why are you complaining that the struggle is much?! C'mon. Are you not the man? It's in your DNA to hunt and provide. No matter the societal system. You can never be overwhelmed. Your biological makeup will make sure of that. Let me ask you this. You first said men were providing monetarily while women cook. Now you say, ladies are also picking up the bills. So, in other words, a woman is NOW sharing in the role of a man. She's doing a man's work and doing hers. A woman work and cook now. But men are not raising kids and helping at home. Do you think this is fair? If a lady can pick up the bills, why can't a man nurture kids?



Imagine if all it takes to get married is just for a guy to have One room apartment - it means 98% of guys who are matured for marriage presently will all get married. You will also be surprised that even the so called dead beat dads are not deadbeats after all.
Foul. Out of bounds.

The Taste and appetite of the modern woman is Extremely high and only a sizeable percentage of guys can only meet such ridiculous demands.
If tastes are high, make more money, sir. It's economics. Time changes. We are not our mothers. It only make sense that you shouldn't be our fathers.


You will see a guy earning 100-150k per month and out of it the woman wants him to buy a car, buy land and build house, monthly upkeep, family events, house rent, school fees, yearly family shopping etc
But that's the point of the traditional system. It's not same-balanced. If you provide, she will take care of your kids. Shikena. Are you forgetting that you're supposed to take care of the woman? That's how God designed it na. You give her everything as her protector, in return for her faithfulness and fertility. Be a man! grin

You make money, and she helps you allocate and manage it. Why are you complaining against the natures of a woman? She's the homemaker.


There is a reason babymama is growing and a large percentage of men are not married even though they want to.
Okay. I hear. So it's on women's tastes that those guys are unmarried, instead of on their irresponsibility?
RomanceRe: What Would You Do If You Find Out Ur Partner Slept With Ur Boss To Get U A Job? by Leoniine(f): 9:16pm On Mar 17, 2020
Why would I be jobless in the first place? (This is subjective, please.)

I won't be with that kind of partner, too. They're committed to me, so... I can't even imagine that scenario.

There's so much to engage in before things become desperate.

A lot of things will definitely go wrong in that relationship, for sure, I know. Inevitably leading to a break-up.

Exactly my thought ubunja.
Though at the beginning, men shot themselves on the leg by shifting the job of providing and protecting on themselves while shifting the job of maintaining the home/family to women.
Where protecting by man and running the home by woman are all service based jobs and are Measurable and Reasonable, PROVIDING is where all the Scams are because it can not be quantified.
When the agreement was made, cost of living and standard of living were extremely Low.
A man builds a hut, goes to farm or hunt or fish while the woman stays at home to take care of the child. It was all Simple and Easy.
But unfortunately for men, they never knew Relationship/Marriage are just another form of Business that is always/regularly been affected by INFLATION because rendering personal Services is hardly if not affected by Inflation.
If the men of old knew about Inflation, none of them would have agreed to be Providers, they didn't see the Future.
From living in a hut, inflation sets in... To living in one room face you and face me ... To Room and Parlour self contain... To Flat ... To duplex etc yet the service the woman is to render neither changed, rather reducing.
As the pressure keeps increasing on men, nobody deems it fit to add to the women side by instructing them to instead of cooking for the Family, they should cook for the community.
Wawu. Now a providing man and a nurturing woman is no more nature's dictate.

I thought it was our natural makeup naa.

We can observe it in our animal relatives.

Why do you get mad that 'men's roles' are being ripped from them?

Are women not acting like men now? Doing everything?

You pipu and your confucius philosophy. undecided

You're soo inadequate to teach and ignorant of what you want to speak on.

I thought women are rejecting their traditional roles, how come you're saying nothing has changed about their roles?

The majority of men are the ONLY ones here who've changed nada. Providing can be quantified. Nurture can't. You can see money, calculate how much you bought, houses you built, etc. That is not comparable with emotional sacrifice and burden. You can't measure feelings, care, love, guilt, happiness. Physical and material objects cannot be equated with abstract concepts (which the woman has been groomed to provide.)

Cook for community ko, cook for nation ni.

Lol... Of course. I'm a Yoruba.

1/ What type of woman, is Sarah, the swivelling neck, lol upon which an Abrahamic head was supported on?
See, you sef. You're laughing. Swivelling neck and Abrahamic head. grin I no hear again.


2/ What type of a woman, is Zipporah, who circumcised her and her husband, Moses' first Gershom, then touched the foreskin to Moses' feet?
3/ What type of a woman, is Abigail, that made a king of Israel quickly sought after her upon hearing she's become widowed?
4/ What type of a woman, is Rahab, the Canaanite woman living in Jericho, who hid the two men Joshua sent out as spies?
5/ What type of a woman, is Mary, the mother of Jesus, and when she propelled Him, to before His time, start quickly His ministry?

So after you had finished answering all five questions above, do you still seem to think, there's no unity between all the superlatives I listed and the last qualier: virtuous, hmm?
You say what it means. I honestly cannot even go into musing about that rn. You listed Rahab alongside those women. She's a prostitute.

So, I can conclude then that people like Amber Rose, Mia Khalifa, and the likes can be virtuous women? That sounds good to my hearing. cheesy


What to your understanding and exactly do you think the word virtuous means, lol. I am 10000% sure, quite a lot, know the word virtous, but never looked up its meaning from a dictionary, lol.
Uh, yeah... I just have a general idea about it. I'm used to the 'bastardized meaning' of the word. (Maybe in African settings, I don't know). The sufferhead, compliant, voiceless woman. Such. It irks me. There may be a positive aspect to the word.

Of course, from Proverbs 31:10-31 above you can make a helpful observation to see that it is talking about the character of a woman, and this in terms of her strength, resourcefulness, intelligence, power, boldness, strength, efficiency, ability, capability etcetera
Well, it's been misconstrued. A lot. In our culture. Used to dictate to women, assess them, shame them, name it.

I have no ish with the verse definitions you quoted.

I didn't want to quote this cuz its long but let me do this so you'll know where I'm getting at.

A woman meets a man on vacation, they meet and flirt and have sex without a condom.

She goes home from her vacation then a few weeks later her moderately successful boyfriend proposes marriage. She accepts, not long after she realizes that she's pregnant. She's certain it's the guy on Vacations child and not her fiance's.

She doesn't tell her fiance about the other guy and he assumes it's his child and is overjoyed. They marry, and he raises the child as his own. But three years in one of the wife's girlfriends tell the husband about the wife's affairs, he suspects because the child doesn't look like him, he has a paternity test done and discover the child isn't his.

The wife has found the child's biological father on social media but hasn't initiated contact with him since the vacation.



Who should be obligated to take care of the child?
The biological father, naturally. The woman can contact him and if he refuses, she should sue him and then get a paternity test done.

On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with the other father (morally and materially) providing for the kid. Depends on the relationship between them. Is there anything stopping one from loving a person they're not biologically related to?

want to play the 'familiarity' card? i know him, too. and that does not in any way disprove what i pointed out ...

you're biased and hypocritical.


My comments were based on what I expected from a matured guy like him; making salient points without insults. You didn't read any insults from me,did you?
The guy has very well commented on this forum with insults. Against religion, politicians, Nigerians, cheats. You're the one who appeared not to know him.

Why are you asking me @bolded, lol? You don't want others to 'attack' you, too? Because you have not insulted anyone?

Whether you know him, whether you know me, whether I know you or him – it was very glaring that you wanted MrBrownJay not to respond with insults to guys who were being rude.

And repeating "a stinking and misplaced ego" is what constitute an insult to you? You don't see "bastards," "second-hand commodity," "losers" and the rest as insults but ENTITLED OPINIONS. If they are entitled to their debasing opinions, why should I or anyone not be entitled to an insulting or emotional opinion as well? (I know you will soon run away or ignore me like a chicken now).


Could you please get a hold of your emotions? You're bleeding all over the place. If you're a single mom,the battle for self-worth or acceptance is not online,with faceless entities. Its in the real world and the value you add.
We are on a cyberspace. Don't police anyone. You somehow want those guys' opinions to stay and be accepted but you disagree with opposing views, saying I should go face reality.

That's becoming a stale defense, these days. "It's my opinion, my humble one." Sure, you're entitled to your opinion, and perception of me but do not go about expecting an entitled protection from being called out on that which you shared online.

All I'll say to you is: do not project. On me.

I'm not battling with anyone here, little guy.
Lol. You think I'm the one wasting my time.
You think it's my opinion that do not matter.
You think I have problems in real life.

You cannot see this for what it is. Or what a forum is all about.

All that happens here, stays here (well, except for those whom it's gonna affect in reality, positively or negatively) and they post, I post (in counter or in support).

Every opinion stays here and can get aired.

Do, pray tell, enlighten us on what "positives" could come out of a situation like this.
-She was in an abusive relationship with baby daddy, which could somehow have led to a life-and-death situation.
-The woman might have to get a restraining order, with the involvement of her family 'cos baby daddy was pummeling her.
-Baby daddy could be dead, or in prison, serving a term, whether for years or life.
-Both of them (father and mother) might have an acrimonious relationship leading to them swearing off one another, never to meet again.
-The father of the kid might be deadbeat, irresponsible and a runaway one who gives no damn about the child, doesn't even know if he has one, and it could also happen as a one-night stand.
-You think the single mum is always immature, especially emotionally and is unstable, not mentally okay. Not true.
-The woman can can successful, at international level, with multi-million departmental stores and she's in charge of her life, have a grasp over it and has moved on from the past.
-She might be a therapist, might have seen or talked to one, who's completely helped her unpacked her emotional baggages and she's now as free as any other human.
-She might be a born again Christian, principled, and doesn't break God's law. Maybe the sex was a one-time thing. And she's a person who never goes back on her word (as in her cheating and doing all sort). Same can apply to nonbelievers.

There are baby baby mamas and there are baby mamas mama. I'm just trying to make a distinction between immaturity and maturity. And, trust me, God 'bestowed' those two qualities on people. Different kinds of people. They are not peculiar to a particular group of people. That's why you can see some really 'meh' eighty-years-olds.
-What if your love, your person and your future with the woman is greater than her past and her ex? There are some SMs who became one purely out of mistake, lack of sex education and in their very early teens. Then their families helped them, supported them, they finished school and went on to study overseas, become professionals.

Can you conclude that in all the world, there are no single mother, single father relationships working?
-If you share an against-all-odds, weather-any-storms kind of love?
-Or if she's powerful, influential, impactful. Someone you share so much with. Dreams, values, secrets. She helped you with connections or was there for you in some ways, and she's mentally, physically, financially, etc matured?

This is not about men but let me ask you, can you marry a man with a kid, knowing fully well your children will never inherit anything when they grow up because there are others.

Well I know women do this so I can't ask this question just forget it.
But I'll answer your question. You considered women's answer, you didn't consider mine. Gave no room for individuality.

So, since we're making assumptions, I'll respond with assumptions of my own, too:
-You don't know if I'll want to have kids.
-You know zero thing about me or the kind of man I'll get married to (yes, even if he's a Naija man who came from a very traditional and cultural tribe in the most backward part of Nigeria. You just can never predict his behavior, because, enlightenment and education. I know that irresponsible, childish, controlled, weak-willed, etc boys tend to overshadow the ones who are men of their words, gives no f--k about society/religion and no room for misdemeanors from relatives to their wives.
-Like, is all of this about inheritance? The properties of the man? LMAO. And what if the man is as poor as a church rat? Have no properties to his name? Because me or my kids not inheriting anything automatically cancels out a childless man/baby daddy? He's 'undateable?' Or unmarriageable?

Please, tell me, is this the reality of every step-family in the world? Where's a rule written that properties of a man must inevitably go to his biological children? What if they die sometime later in the future? Or his first or second wife are both dead? You haven't seen people donating all of their wealth to charities?
-What if the man's kids are wayward? Run aways and joined cultism? Basically disowned or bad kids? Or what if they are multimillionaires themselves and our family is built on love and friendship?
-And, me, too, if I get get my own property nko? If I'm a big mama? And there's absolutely nothing wrong if I share them between my kids (from other marriages), his kids (from other marriages) and our kids (from our own marriage). Open up your mind. Ditto for the man, too. That's why I said not to judge our relationship + mindsets. A childless mother + childless father relationship is not the only perfect one. See, the problems you get from single moms are not from their kids or the fact that they've given birth – it's who they are. Their person.
-Do you also know that the man will love me so much to cross seven seas for me that he'll give me half of his wealth (because, AGAIN, you do not know our relationship and what it's established on. What we've been through. How I have impacted his Life, or added value to it. Maybe he's got some rare medical anomaly, and I was the one there for him. Take some sick, rich men and their nurses' relationships, for instance. Some men have made their staff rich. Just so many possibilities. Life is not linear, a one way street. And it's not black and white, either. And is even more nuanced, fragmented and complicated in shades farther from grey). The man can put me in charge, to share his properties (you don't know my Integrity or character yet again). (Hope you're seeing this 2buffagain ).

So if we are in love, as in a true-friendship-of-the-soulmate kind, why should the man not have me or my kids access to his properties?

So much so that you'd cling to the crumbs of it left, despite its interference with your critical reasoning?



This one really pained you. You know, it's very easy to stand afar and label people
Oh, yeah, you're telling me about that? Wow. Don't tell me you knew this whenever you're spouting rubbish about LGBTs, depressed and marginalized people. Telling them to go kill themselves, calling them vile and disgusting and labeling them. Don't spin a joke on your self. Your outlook on life is very parochial and conservative, and you'd many a time judged and dismissed people. Why weren't you putting their unique experiences and pains into consideration then?

but the moment I related it to your parents (whose generation you've been vilifying) you went berserk lol.
Are you really asking me about anti man laws in the west?
Look, in France it is a crime for a man to seek for paternity test and even if it turns out that the child is not his he's still forced to pay child support for 18 years in majority of the western countries.
A woman has the right to choose whether to be a mother or not but a father has no such right. A woman can steal your sperm and tie you down for 18 to 26 years, taking most of your income without your any form of consent from you.

Lol. This is your proof of bias against MEN? Like, dude, we are talking about more than three billion people here. The 'West' is the only place you run to, all the time, yank their realities, worlds, etc and try to project it on a Global scale. Why aren't you bringing examples from your own backyard, huh? Why aren't you citing poor, underdeveloped, third world nations?

The banning of paternity test in France is not a bias against Western men and is an entire argument on its own.

Check the statistics below and then tell me how things are being run in an unfair way towards men. (And one time you're arguing for Western men, another time you're against them it seems to me. cheesy I remember now, too, you ignored this particular question I asked: Are men being emasculated or going MGTOW in the West?)

How will you explain women in poor countries whose values are attached to their fertility? And deadbeat men who run away from fathering a pregnancy they helped brought about? Isn't that why single mothers abound? Since you say women can choose and men can't.

A woman stealing a man's sperm --- personal negligence. And how rampant is it? What are the statistics? But if she uses it to make a child, well, duh, it's still your DNA that helped formed it and the court isn't going to ignore that.


90% of the schools are run by leftists. Not just the school, the whole mainstream is leftist. YouTube, Twitter, Google, almost all the news media are leftist.
Source.

You'll mostly likely find personal opinions of both Left and Right pushing it on each other as in below.

https://newrepublic.com/article/155672/media-right-wing-bias-politicos-founder-just-admitted-it

And as for schools being run by Leftists: did you even go through the links I put up? Gosh, and you claim I'm the one who isn't in touch with reality.

Is that what they've been force-feeding you in your quarantined, man-cave, hormone-bursting Repill classes?

Distorting reality and facts? Here, a few for you to digest:

"...in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, girls are more likely to be disadvantaged than boys. In both Angola and Chad, for example, the GPI value is 0.77, meaning that 77 girls are enrolled in primary school for every 100 boys...

..Between 2000 and 2016, the number of out of school girls of primary school age decreased globally by 40 per cent, from 58 million to 34 million. Boys saw a decrease globally of 30 per cent during this same period, from 42 million to 29 million. Despite this considerable progress, some 63 million children of primary school age were out of school in 2016 (53 per cent of whom are girls), with West and Central Africa and South Asia observing both the highest overall rates (30 per cent and 26 per cent, respectively) and the largest gender gaps (4 and 3 percentage points at the expense of girls, respectively) for regions with available data. While globally out of school girls are more likely than out of school boys to never enroll in school...
...The barriers that deter children from attending primary school vary across and within countries but are often associated with poverty, geographic remoteness, armed conflict, lack of school infrastructure and poor-quality education. Moreover, these obstacles often interact with gender inequality to intensify learning disadvantages for marginalized girls. Interventions that address the high costs of education for families, including the abolition of school fees, cash transfer programs and school feeding programs, have demonstrated success at reaching out-of-school children, whether applied universally or targeted towards specific populations, such as rural girls. Additional interventions to reach the most marginalized girls include village-based schools to shorten the distance girls must travel to attend school; ‘girl-friendly’ schools with separate latrines for boys and girls; gender-sensitive teaching approaches, and flexible education opportunities for girls who have dropped out of school and wish to return, such as young mothers. However, more data is needed to understand the precise impact of gender norms on the likelihood of girls and boys being out of school, including the relationship between decisions around child marriage, the withdrawal of girls from school and perceptions of the value of girls’ education versus boys’ education...

...Investing in secondary education is essential for equipping adolescent boys and girls with the knowledge and skills needed to become productive engaged citizens. Advancing girls’ secondary education, in particular, is one of the most transformative development strategies countries can invest in. Completion of secondary education brings significant benefits to girls and societies – from increased lifetime earnings to reductions in adolescent childbearing, child marriage, stunting, and maternal and child mortality...

...In Nigeria, the country with the highest overall lower secondary out-of-school rate worldwide (70 per cent), 67 per cent of lower secondary school age boys are out of school compared to 73 per cent of girls..."


Like, do you know how huge, and internationally-based these sites are? Every single person in them are Leftists? Their founders are Leftists? What sort of claim is this?

Guy, get out of social media and face the real world. Your world (maybe not necessarily yours.) But, tell me, how much people do you think have access to those sites you listed, compared to those who don't? How many people are being influenced by the 'conpiracy, brainwashing, left dogmas' you keep hammering on? How many people in the 195 countries of the world care about the West countries and their 'machinations?'

In case you don't know, bulk of the Leftist identities (politics) are in the minority. People fighting for equality, e.g, feminists, BLM, POC, LGBTs are in the minority.

Trump is President of America. Who voted him in? The liberals?

And if you take the world as a whole, i.e, 195 countries put together -- We are Conservatives.



Researches showed that women are almost as violent as men. Around 60:40
Women kill more spouse and children than men so your claim of men being more violent is just not enough reason for any these other than outright gender bias.
'Sauce.'

You think prostitution is oppression against women lol.
I know you people don't have enough sense and mental strength to take responsibility.
Look, women go into prostitution willingly. When men have no where to go, they turn to crime and women go into prostitution it is just as simple as that.
Take for example University students, the boys go into yahoo while the girls go into prostitution. Nobody forces women to prostitute their body, so explain how this is oppression.
See why I told you to see beyond your small mind? Did you just deny the existence of forced prostitution, trafficking, and child pornography? Your insensitiveness is getting on my nerves.

And you're citing lasgidi universities and basing your stance on it. The harrassment that happens within their walls nko?

Nigga, hey -

You said: women are/were never oppressed.

I countered: listed almost fifteen examples.

You addressed one or two points and tell me, 'but men were killed, too, nyenyenye.'

Stop deflecting and shifting posts.

Just explain to me, simply, how all I listed were/are not forms of violence/oppression.

That is what your point/stance/argument should centre on. Stop adding salt and Maggi. Don't I counter your points alone, and directly?



Abortion? How is it oppression? Women even have rights to kill innocent unborn children in some countries how is that oppression?
I'm talking forced abortion and sex-selective ones, sterilization. In Asian countries.

Child bride? Have you seen the male children in the North where Those child brides are rampant? They're completely left to rot on their own. Some risk their lives hanging on trailers transporting cows and onions to come and scavenge dung hills for mental.
This is besides the point. Sighs. And it is due to poverty and lack of education widespread amidst the northerners. Because, their female kids go through the same. Both of them work and both are put left out, and while at that, they still give their daughters' hands in marriage. You NEVER tell how child marriage isn't a form of oppression. Nor FGM.

Lol you talk about rape in war? Seriously? Are you fúcking serious ? How many millions of men get slaughtered in wars compared to a few women that get raped in wars? Before women get raped and captured, all their men must be dead already.
Is rape (in marriage and in wars, on the streets, at churches, universities, family houses) a form of oppression or not? If it's not, then what is it?

People deserve to be treated fairly but we can't all get equal treatment, it will defeat the goal of hard work.
Ahh, I see you're learning, smiley and restructuring your views bit by bit. The is the second time I see you picking something from our debate here. Yes. People deserve to be treated fairly. On the basis that we are humans, and at birth there is no superiority/inferiority. Note, I didn't say no differences. But just no discriminatory attitude based on one's haves or lack. Fairness is not getting handed things on a platter. I explained it to you already. Go through my first lengthy response. I even talked about hierarchy, and order. No equal treatment and throwing previous contributions away. But access to equal opportunities to prove ourselves. You never know what a black man can do if he's not given a level ground to play. And the bias that works against the black man (and women) is NOT due to what they lack. Not due to zero intelligence. Not due to a dearth of mental strength and fortitude. Not due to low capabilities and skills. No. It's just a social, unconscious hatred or shun. Not based on the true natures.

Lol. So you see? You can drag our ancestors and call them oppressors and barbarians but immediately I related the narrative to your forebears you saw your stupidity and accuse my people. Have you ever seen me talking bad about our ancestors? You are the one who claims your forefathers were animalistic barbarians, sexual predators and aggressors and that your foremothers were helpless weaklings and sexual objects why are you now going on the defensive? So you never knew all these while that you were denigrating your parents?
Okay, be honest with me, right now, lilbest3 - You do not believe that the human race and previous generations, through civilizations had been barbaric, inhumane, ritualistic (like sacrifices, libations stuff), deeply religious and superstitious, leading to atrocious crimes (against humanity and races), and so on?

You said men go out to war.
You said men were physically stronger. And so were saddled with tougher jobs. To conquer our natural habitat. You talked about psychotic humans, ruining kingdoms and how that justified the preference for (valiant) male sons.

What was the role of the women in these set-up? To clean, cook, birth babies, be a source of relief for sexual tension and testosterone, the likes?

Why do you claim this isn't so or the majority of cases for goodness' sake? I am simply stating what is and is still being in some instances.

You even mentioned examples of some races who think other inferiors and how they treated them, the slave trade in Africa. How a woman's way of making sure she was protected was to get a strong male and mate with him.

You're confusing me, convoluting things. Didn't you say the stereotypical gender roles were necessary? It was what the time demanded?

You're the only who's been dribbling here, and can't seem to fix on a point. Acting like a staggering drunkard.

Were women allowed to partake in Umunna meetings and such? In important decision-makings? Please, don't bring up your village or a personal experience or a limited scenario.

I don't seem to understand your criticism laced with insults bro.
They gave their personal opinions, why not respect that instead of calling them names. It almost seems as if you want every man here to automatically love single moms.
smh. And your own hypocrisy stinks!

How did you manage to miss those guys' comments laced with insults, bullying and degrading words to single mothers? Dregs of society, smelly pussy, bla bla bla.

Could they not have given theirs without the insults? At least, that pcguru guy did. And he's here no more. No one's dragging him.

And you seem to think this is about dragging anybody for their choices? How so? It's fine if you can't deal. EOD. Stop cooking inane claims about them.

We are all judged by our past.

If you graduated with a pass, no one cares if you had financial issues or trekked to school, or you had to spend time doing odd jobs so you could pay your fees, all they see is your result. We are all a product of our past. In fact you're where you are because of the decisions you've made in life.

they are scared that the baby daddy might still be secretly smashing the single mom cheesy
...but you know single girls do all sort of things, too??

What is it with you guys and your unfounded fears? Like, are issues peculiar to single moms alone? Na dem carry all the problems for this world for head?

Young, childless girls don't cheat? Do worse and unthinkable things?

And this coming from guys who aren't faithful themselves...

The difference is, if all goes well, childless women won't have to see their exes all the time and the ex has no legitimate reason of coming to where she lives.

But in the case of single mums, if all goes well, they have to see their exes in their living space quite frequently and also interact with them about an element of their conjoinment (aka the child) every single time. Everytime she sees that child, she remembers the dick that put it in her and he is always there, and both ex and child are always there, refreshing that memory so it cannot be a distant and forgotten memory.

This triggers unneccesary memories, and before you know whats up, she might just prove herself a fool maybe when she and her main maga are arguing.
what do you mean @bolded?

And you based your thoughts on a lot of assumptions and "what its." So, it's very possible for them to be ruled out. Not apply.

You're leaving out a lot of factors. Things can go in the positive direction or otherwise. Don't fixate on things (likely) going bad. You cannot tell the relationship between the single mother and her ex. And neither can you judge the current relationship she's in...

And it's not likely for women who aren't single mothers to sleep with their exes?

Kemi might just be a cool babe from a good family that is just stubborn but also very loyal to this guy. She might even be much more classy than the Ore.
sure na, I can write 1000 things you don't even know about Ore. Based on assumptions and the chats we've seen.

"if you are a full time house wife and your husband is working hard, footing all the bills and taking care of you and your children, would it be wrong or bad for you to make him a sandwich, respect him as the man of house, and do the chores?"
No.

It wouldn't be wrong or bad.

And I can do those things for him.

As a feminist.
