iragbijile: First I disagree with this line. We all arent created equal so some of us will never find ourselves in this kind of situation. This is your burden, that befell you because of your unique experience, luck, and background. You attracted it to yourself, so stop looking for pity from us. Grow up already!
Congrats!
So on one hand, you are still sorting things out in the emotional realm. On the other hand, he asked for your hand in marriage and you said NO? Well, I honestly believe NO is the right answer because only a weirdo would say YES in this type of situation. And I am sure you are not a weirdo. I mean, you dont sound like one. You are a sane, well educated, single lady in her 30s, confused and perhaps not that good looking, but traditional nevertheless. Traditional is good; just that it is relative and subjective.
What? When did you realize this? The first couple of times you met him or 789 days into the relationship?
What do you like about him? The fact that he is the only one who pays attention to you? Or the fact that he is the only one strong enough to put up with your ugly attitude?
Okay.
And what tradition tells you that the man must always provide for the woman? The man as the bread winner is a totally western idea that was planted in the psyche of us Africans by our colonial masters. At no point in the history of Africa was the man ever a bread winner. Hunter yes, bread winner, NO. Two different things. The agrarian family that pervaded the African society in the 'old' world was a unit of production that was bound to each other for economic survival; there were no 'traditional' bread winners, no separation of responsibilities. Both parties pitch in for the betterment of the household. An old Yoruba proverb goes: "Bokunrin rejo bobinrin pa a, kejo ma sa ti lo." Meaning, "If a man sees a snake and a woman kills it, what matters is the death of the snake." It doesnt matter who the bread winner is, what is important is that you two do not starve to death.
The only way to know for sure is for you to quit your job and be solely dependent on him.
Whats your point?
Stop fooling yourself. You need to snap out of the delusional reality you have created for yourself. You are not the Princess of Wales and your attitude sucks, if you were all that great and decent, you wont be in the situation you are presently in. That is the truth. Beautiful women always have enough pool of men to choose from by the time they are 22. You are 30, stuck with this guy for a reason. Unfortunately this is the only guy willing to put up with you attitude, it is time you put out or shut up. You have ghetto mentality, yet you want to be treated like some Arabian princess. It aint happening. You aint getting married to George Clooney or Dangote nor will you be spending your honeymoon in the Cayman Islands flown there on a GVI paid for by your rich Wall street private equity CEO with homes in Greenwich Connecticut. Not in this life. Atleast not without you having a major do over of your looks and attitude. Those people ( Clooney, Dangote and that private equity CEO guy) dont exist in real life, not to people like you. Sorry to be so blunt, but that is the truth. In this life, you are stuck with the type of people like your "boyfriend." There is little you can do about it. If you break up with him, the next person will be another "him," in a different form; maybe a little shorter, a little stingier, a little feistier, but, overall, just another clone of 'him.' You will be lucky if the 'new him' is anywhere as decent. In this type of situation, I always rely on Rene Decartes's third maxim: Endeavour always to conquer myself rather than fortune, and change my desires rather than the order of the world, and in general, accustom myself to the persuasion that, except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power. That is, change your thoughts about this gentle man, change how you feel about him, and change your life for the better.
That said, I admire people who take chances because we all know that the grass is always greener, lusher and longer on the other side of the fence. What you may not realize is that you arent getting any younger; your looks arent getting more feminine; your ova arent getting more vibrant; and the societal pressure will only get worse. + 1000 Brilliant and raw advice you can ever get |

Google is your friend..the guy edited below article to poke fun at sagamite and make fun of y'allIt wasn’t always this way. Back before the internet (if you are old enough to remember such a time) there was little opportunity to post anonymous dirty comments, apart for rest room stalls. However, since the advent of internet social media, it seems like everyone is a critic. Many times it seems as if everyone is a foul-mouthed, brain-dead, ignorant critic. You know…a comment troll. Comment sections on YouTube videos can be an especially icky part of the internet, but YouTube owner Google is looking to clean up its image by linking your anonymous profile with your Google+ account. That’s correct, your real name and face may now be associated with all your pointless commentary. YouTube has begun asking anonymous commenters to merge in their real names and photos, reports Ryan Tate for Wired Magazine. Posting a comment or uploading a video will trigger YouTube to urge you to, “start using your full name on YouTube,” and ask if it can display the identity you’ve associated with your Google+ account. This assumes you are using Google’s social network. A spokesman for YouTube declined to comment today on whether more changes are in store, but it’s easy to imagine that offering accounts with real names is just a first step toward hiding, and eventually eliminating, comments from anonymous accounts. Such steps would do much to improve the perceived quality of YouTube content. “One Google-wide identity was something that proved popular with new YouTube users when we began offering it in March, so we are now extending it to existing users,” YouTube software engineer John Fisher wrote in a recent blog post. He continues describing the advantages of such a system by saying, “This is your identity, so you’re in the driver’s seat. First off, your name. If you are currently YouTube user joeysam87, you can now appear as Joey Samson, the full name from your Google+ profile (with an actual space in the middle!), along with any photo you uploaded.” “Next step, your past activity. Maybe you posted a few things way back (all those “I love you Biebs!!” comments?) that you’d rather not associate with publicly. By clicking “Review my content,” you can see every video, comment or playlist you’ve ever posted, and decide whether you want it associated with your full name before making the change.” If you don’t want to use your Google+ account, you can refuse, but you are prompted with a second attempt such as, “Are you sure?” Then, like some kind of internet degenerate, you must explain why you don’t want to use your full name. Most of the reasons provided involve the user being a business or product, although you can choose the mysterious “My channel is for personal use, but I cannot use my real name,” if you are cruising YouTube as a member of the witness protection program, writes Keith Wegstaff for Techland. The integration of Google+ and YouTube has been going on quietly for several months. In May, actor and noted tech-geek Wil Wheaton ranted about Google “forcing” its social network on everyone when he tried to like a video on YouTube. He was especially annoyed by a prompt to join Google+. His screed was re-blogged by more than 2,300 Tumblr users, reports Dara Kerr for CNET. Civility and free speech are difficult to balance even among people who agree on things. Add in thousands of anonymous know-it-alls and we have, well, the internet as we know it. This is definitely a step in the right direction for YouTube; whether or not its users will actually start using their real names is another question. redOrbit ( http://s.tt/1iSE1) http://www.redorbit.com/news/technology/1112662376/youtube-commenting-with-your-real-name/ |
