1.When you have no job to keep you very busy/tired and all you do is sit at home,dream,build castles and wish then what else do you expect from this man?

He becomes master of only one job! Making babies.Those stats are correct.No figures though.

2.Lack of education on modern fp methods on the side of women.

3.Perception.Failure to embrace fp methods claiming its a foreign ideology.

4.Outdated cultures.Belief that having many children is a sign of wealth.

5.Fulfilling God's commands 'Go and fill the earth'. undecided

6.Lack of alternative ways of entertainment resulting into unexpected pregnancies.

What claremont?

You have never heard about child labour in Africa and worse in Asia? You want me to post photos here?
That is nothing! They herd camels,goats,cows,work in coffee and tea plantations,the girls fetch,cook and yeah get married before they have bosoms!! A 10 year old masai boy can kill you a lion!
I mean they breastfeed and work at intervals.Alternating the two.
But its dying slowly dont worry.The laws have changed.
RomanceRe: For Better Or For Worse? by pendo89(f): 2:48pm On Jul 28, 2011
@naya

Lets just say that it depends on a lot of factors.The society/law,your belief system which may include your religion,
Thing is hold on till the next thing you are staring at is death.
Then run a fast as your feet can take you and never look back. undecided
We have heard enough!
RomanceRe: For Better Or For Worse? by pendo89(f): 2:23pm On Jul 28, 2011
^^ makes sense.
lol The pic that came into my mind after reading your post above was that of a 3 year old boy herding goats alone in the field and this 5 year old girl learning how to cook for the whole village.
Their counterparts in the other side of the world are in school and if asked to do any form of work then its automatically labelled child labour.

I mean responsibilities in Africa are learnt at a very tender age.The reason our grandparents stuck to each other was because they learnt endurance early and had nothing to compare their lives with.
Live revolved around the village.

If an african exceeds his endurance threshold the next likely thing to happen is murder. He just cant take any more. The westerner will not wait till he goes bananas. He calls it quit very fast the moment insomnia sets in.
RomanceRe: For Better Or For Worse? by pendo89(f): 1:28pm On Jul 28, 2011

oh yeah your right. grin
They then call it 'irreconciliable diffrences'.They couldn't agree on who takes the garbage out or who picks/drops kids from school. who makes dinner and who makes breakfast!
They divorce because one spouse keeps forgetting another's birthday undecided Then it build up into a mountain.

Anyway I think Africans have a higher threshold for endurance than the westerners.By the time the African decides enough is enough,they are near death.
RomanceRe: For Better Or For Worse? by pendo89(f): 1:02pm On Jul 28, 2011
^^
mmh I don't think it applies in all cases.Some patience have resulted into deaths.
People have seen the worst happen in cases where excessive patience was exercised.
It proves futile.They now prefer to be safe than sorry.
I would not advise anybody for instance to have patience in a very abusive marriage.
Maybe I have seen and read a lot. undecided

you got somebody knocking at your door.Hungry I guess. smiley

True points you have up there op even though I believe they cut across continents. well some.
I guess it stems from this phrase 'A child belongs to the community'
So even when you marry the community feels like they own you and you owe them.
Then they want to intrude into you family affairs and life.

@ferdii

Yeah its very annoying when people use the name of God in vain.I think they pick it up from their pastors.
Seems like many christian girls in nigeria have been brainwashed then because theirs lots of mentioning God in issues that don't even deserve his attention.
But it boils down to you. If you are searching for a wife then search for 'wife' not a 'christian'.
A christian never made a wife but a wife may as well be a christian so well and good.
But if all you find is a christian girl with no wife qualities then drop her fast. If you do not then God is not to blame. God is not some piece of cloth or umbrella to use only when its raining.
Now how would you have known that 'some' not all are fake if you had not been cheated by one?
Experiences are good ie if they do not end up killing you. You are wiser now so yeah choose well.

'red-guy-with-a-pitchfork mate!' says who? who said hes red and he holds a fork? Looney tunes.

@Nayah. All I can say in this case is that one's a couple make up their mind to stick and support each other then nothing can come between them. Not even law.
What Strauss'wife did may not go down well with some people buy hey who are we to condemn that?
She's wife and she understands him better.
But you know what? this Strauss is not going to have it easy with the wife either.Its like being held hostage.
I support you in public/bear the humiliation and the insults in return for something.That is what I think.
So time will tell if her support was out to the marriage vows or sinister.

Lawyer Kenneth Thompson said he and Nafissatou Diallo spent eight hours with prosecutors from the district attorney's office listening to and translating a phone recording which had raised doubts about her credibility.

And it was clear Ms Diallo "never said the words" attributed to her by a US newspaper claiming that she knew Mr Strauss-Kahn had a lot of money, Mr Thompson told reporters outside the Manhattan DA's office.

"I'm telling you that certain things were said that were merged together in this quote that was given to The New York Times," he said.
The New York Times, in early July, quoted a law enforcement official saying that during a phone conversation with a man jailed in the United States for possessing marijuana, Ms Diallo "says words to the effect of, 'Don't worry, this guy has a lot of money. I know what I'm doing.'"

Mr Thompson said both sides had reviewed the recording of the tape with an interpreter who spoke Diallo's native Guinean language of Fulani.

"We have been listening to that tape, and that tape shows that the victims never said the words" attributed to her, Mr Thompson said.

"She told that gentleman that 'Someone tried to rape me and that he's a powerful, big man.'"

Heavy words heavy words.
@OP
Those issues you listed are critical in any relationship.
Untidiness,odours,dullnes,carelessness and shortcircuits stain love.Infact they kill the flame.
I get repulsed by people who pick their noses ! angry Bad habits.
Love is not blind so if you fail to iron out these issues while dating then you'v got nobody to blame when you marry and discover she posesses all these negative traits.
But you know what pple say? she or he will change.Well that is the biggest lie.They don't they just increase in intensity.
Test all these areas and if you discover they don't match your taste then step.

Kenyans have joined the mobile phone subscribers and each citizen is sending money via mpesa towards this cause.It started yesterday and so far close to 10 m has been collected from citizens.

If I rem well,that issue was a hot topic during her campaigns and well some if not many viewed her as a strong woman worth their votes cz of tht bill thing.
Am sure shes got some 35-40 % support from the same pple.Which is quite a number.
The society will always exert pressure and influence you to act contrary to what you believe,especialy if you are highly placed in the society.Its all about image and the role it plays in your career moves.
More so among politicians.

@ Ferdii.

I thought he meant investing emotionally and timewise not financialy.
Now If he paid her fees and really spent money on her then that really sucks.But you know what? I blame him for that. If you are blind enough to invest a lot financially when you are only dating then who do you blame when things don't go the way you expect?
Makes me wonder if the money you spend while courting is a form of dowry that you have to cry foul later?
She is not yet your wife so,do it if you choose to but do not cry later when things fall apart.
Nothing is sure or guaranteed till you say I do so.Love is not blind.

@ enoquin

This lady is not putting a fullstop to poster's life.Its the poster who doesnt want to let her go because he thinks 4 years of courting is just to much to throw away.
He has to accept a heartbreak and like I said if He cannot wait for her then let her go! Theres are plenty of women and he will still spend something on them.At least he will always have  real life story to tell in future and encourage somebody in a similar situation.
key thing is he should not force her into marrying her.
