You're absolutely DUMB ! Take a look at the definition you just copy pasted ! How is your parent's sibling's wife your AUNT? You AREN'T blood related to your uncle's wife !

Ndipe:
Your uncle's wife is your aunt.

You must be kidding right? How in the world can you be related to your uncle's wife? What makes her your aunt?

Hello there, misogynist,

I am not a believer so sanctimonial prayers mean sh[i]i[/i]t for me. And we've been influenced by the western culture in so MANY areas so why not marriage? What happens when your sanctimonial prayers don't work? Why remain in a situation that makes you unhappy? Nobody in their right mind would want to get divorced. We get married because we HOPE that our significant other is the one. But if that isn't the case, then divorce. Go your seperate ways.

OK, you say it's your father's brother's wife's neice. I trust then that we can safely say since your father's brother is your uncle, then this is your uncle's wife's neice, correct? And, since your uncle's wife would be your aunt, then it's your aunt's neice, right?

Now it gets interesting--this neice could be the daughter of your aunt's brother and sister-in-law OR your aunt's sister and brother-in-law. Either way, there is no direct bloodline that would link you to this neice, as she is the result of a union between your blood uncle's spouse and somebody else outside both your uncle's (hence, your) and his wife's (your aunt's) families.

You might want to check local laws to determine any issues of legality as to whom you are able to date!

How can your uncle's wife be your aunt? :O

I absolutely agree with Mamagee. I would personally let my daughters SLEEP OVER at their boyfriends if and when I choose to. But there definitely has to be an age limit. I started sleeping over when I turned 18; when my mom thought of me to be mature. And if for that my mom is 'unreasonable', then that's pathetic. I turned out well ! I committed errors like every normal teenager but I learned from them. I NEVER had to lie to my mom about my whereabouts, she knew where I was and with whom I was. We OPENLY talked about sex and she advised me on protection and all (yes, she's NIGERIAN). My mom is my best friend (although I keep my personal life personal) I know for a fact that she'll always have my back and I respect her, I respect the way she brought me up and I couldn't have asked for a better mother.

She never told me to go out there and f[b]u[/b]ck my brains off, but knowing she couldn't stop me from experimenting, she chose to be there for me. And honestly, I turned out better than most of these 'what the hell, never never' girls !

Morally wrong? No ! I don't find it wrong at all.

I don't understand your topic. There's something missing in black & white people? Like what? What does that mean? :O

My boyfriend ALREADY had female friends before we met and vice versa. So no, it doesn't bother me AT ALL. The 'friendship' has been established. I've gotten to know them and I really love them but they remain my man's friends. BUT if my man decides to have new female friends, it'll definitely bother me . . .

.

I drink and smoke and I've never had problems with guys.

Of course it is ! It is always good to have fun with friends without the significant other. But for me, I don't enjoy clubbing without my boyfriend plus I'm not really fond of clubbing. With that said, I don't think it should be often . . . I'm only basing this on my person. I can't see myself going clubbing often without my man. Once in a while, sure but not regularly.

A crime? No. A disadvantage? Hell yes ! Who'd want to marry a short guy or an ugly guy or a fat guy? Trust me when I say that when a woman thinks of her 'mister right', those are not the characteristics she thinks of.

Why would he give me a letter that's meant for his EX girlfriend in the first place?

I was brought up with the idea that divorce is a possibility. My parents are divorced. If my man should cheat on me after all the crap we've been through, it'd be impossible for me to forgive him. I'll always bring it up, I'll become over protective, I'll become jealous, I'll oblige him not to see his female friends anymore etc . . .
And I'm sorry but that's not the kind of relationship I want / need so yes, I'll get a divorce. I'll probably think about it for a while but I don't see how I could trust him after that.

sweet heavens!some women do desire to be beaten as in with their serpentine mouth and stuff but when it gets down to it,I dont think a guy shld raise his fist to a woman cos no matta how justifiable his actions may seem,it wld still not go down well with the public!

Totally true and that's pathetic. I don't know why people are bringing up the Rihanna issue. Were you there? Anyway, while I know that hitting a woman means DEATH in public eyes, why would she hit him at all? I mean, we're not talking about a woman beater here rather a woman who decides to hit a man first and goes crying when she recieves what she deserves.

Although I'm petite, if I hit my man, I know FOR SURE that he'll give me back the slap. Now, he won't do it with all his strenght (because I'll probably die, haha) but just a little slap will make me think twice and feel ashamed for RAISING my hands on my man who I claim to love.

It is absolutely NOT alright ! I take it that he recently started seeing her which in my opinion is fishy. If they'd remain friends, that would have been a different story ! My boyfriend and I sometimes (rarely) see his ex girlfriend because he remained close to her family. I love her family and she's a sweet girl but they don't 'hang out'. Who does that? I feel that you should talk to him about this and put boundries IF it bothers you. If it doesn't bother you, fine then ! Go see her with him or whatever. But I fail to see how this can't be bothering.

Love this topic !

First of all, I am a VERY private person. Even my friends don't know everything about my relationship. I'm very open with my family and we talk about almost anything except my relationship. I am one to put on a bold face when my relationship is crushing down. I am the type of person to act like everything is OK when it's not. I know it isn't the best solution but that's who I am. I can talk about tiny little miny fights we've had but to go into the details is impossible for me, with anybody. I suck it up on my own, cry on my own and reassure myself. I will NEVER disclose my personal issues with anyone UNLESS when it becomes obvious that things aren't going so well. I am that type of a person. I will smile, kiss and hug my boyfriend in public when actually we're on the verge of breaking up. But thankfully, I know how to handle things and I ALWAYS get back up on my feet.

I don't sponge off my man. I'm 22, I'm a student and I work (plus I've got mummy and daddy to help out). We both share the bills and all.

I actually created an account for this topic. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!!! I love this !!! hahahahahaha !!

Why the hell will I slap my man in the first place? That's called ABUSE !! And it's only natural for him to retaliate . . . I DO NOT believe in domestic violence from both male and female. But if I slap my man, I definitely expect him to slap me back. wtf?

And people who are saying it's not the same, that's plain BULLSH*T. Violence is violence regardless of who does it. It is wrong and there should be NO justification for it. Saying 'it's different for the females' makes no sense. Women should really stop making silly excuses just because they're 'women'. You're in no way more special than men.

I am stunned with certain replies I've read here.

*trying not to laugh* Hold on a sec ! You actually think that cheating on your boyfriend (and him knowing about it) will resolve your issues? Somebody PLEASE tell me that this is a joke ! I mean, if you're cheating on your boyfriend due to various reasons or whatever, I won't judge that. BUT cheating on him and hoping that it would make things better in your relationship is , wait a second , ROFLMAO !!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA !! I can't even respond to this seriously. :O
