I read this with so much compassion. I will suggest you allow her be for now. If she is yours, she will come back else, you allow her be. If there is a man to pray, there is a God to answer. Go on your knees! Its time to seek God's advice.

Come back where? Poster...ignore this advice. The only bit you should listen to is the 'praying to God'.

You see that 'she will come back' bit Ehn? Run from it.

Which kain come back? Mtschew.

Ok.

The girl has seen that you're a mumu for love hence the manipulation.

I believe if she truly loves you, she won't call off a relationship that is about to be sealed finally over a flimsy thing as this.
Virtual or no virtual, that one doesn't matter. Provided the same message will be passed which is what the pastor is still going to do if it's a one on one meeting/counseling. Abi pst wan carry you for laps?. So let her stop the "disrespect" talk and just tell you she doesn't dig you.

Ok, now see, after agreeing to go in person, she still has the mind to dump you. Do not be fooled. She no like you.

Una no dey know who like una and who no send una.

Some months ago, I was supposed to get married to a lovely lady (Alias-Celia) whom I thought the universe made just for me. I find it unfortunate that this beautiful story was just never meant to be. This write-up is my story.
______________________________________________
Five years ago, while we both stared at the moon sitting in my compound and telling tales of our childhood, I studied her profile. She had a perfect-shaped jaw with rounded edges, full lips, and her ability to smile with so much ease. Her skin glowed against the moonlight, and her aura filled with so much innocence. It was no surprise when I finally popped the question asking her to be my girlfriend.

Four days later, I got a yes as her reply, and it became a beautiful relationship. Our companionship was a show of true love, or so I thought. She taught me to be a better kisser, and I made her be a better lover. We did almost everything together, and when challenges came, we solved them even though she was stubborn; A bit more than me.

Many moons down the line of love and sometimes distrust, she was to relocate to the FCT, the state where her family resides. I knew I was going to miss her, and it wasn't easy letting her go.

We did part ways at the airport, and ever since then, we were always on calls. I did notice later that I did most of the calling, and as time went on as it must, the regular calls became once in a while, and soon, it became longer.

I did play a little with other girls and tried getting into a relationship with others, but it just didn't work out. Perhaps, I wanted the kind of love that they could not give in return. It was no surprise when years later, my calls with Celia became regular and, I didn't mind doing most of the calling.

Soon, I traveled to Abuja, and she didn't seem enthusiastic about seeing me, even though my love clawed at my heart with a renewed burst of energy. This time, I decided that I wouldn't let go. I stayed in FCT for a while, I met her family, and I guess her feelings returned.

I returned to Lagos to continue working, and some months down the line, I was in Abuja again to see the one that I loved. We agreed that she would have to come to Lagos, and some months after I left Abuja, she arrived in the rowdy Lagos.

She met my family, and I popped the question, "will you marry me?" in a romantic atmosphere, and she was so happy that she was going to spend the rest of her life with me.

We made plans until the event of Corona took place, and it greatly affected my business. I became broke, but that didn't stop me from traveling to 3 different states to meet her family members and her pastor in FCT.

We did agree that we were going to have a small wedding, and the day of the introduction came, and I traveled with my family, spent a lot of money on hotel bills, etc. It did go well, and that was when it started.

She reneged on our agreement on the size of the wedding. She told me that she wanted to have her dream wedding although she had no money. I could not bring myself to spend so much on a wedding only to end up eating hand to mouth in my marriage. It became a back and forth argument. Her dad wanted it small, but her siblings wanted it big. My mum did try to advise her, but she felt my mum shouldn't have a say in her wedding being a supposed generation Z.

I did have to look for ways she would be happy without spending too much. Then the counseling issue came, and I was informed to come back to Abuja by her pastor. It was inconvenient, so I told her to recommend virtual counseling because I'm not ready to go and spend a lot staying there. She was mad at my response, saying that it was disrespectful, suggesting such to a supposed man of God, making it disrespectful to God.

I did try to let her know that we could use the money to do something else, but she was adamant. After some time, I did succumb to her demand, but she felt that it should not have led to an argument in the first place and decided to call the wedding off. I tried calming her down and even suggested that we postpone it, but she wouldn't budge with a reason so petty. It hurt at first. It made me lose focus for a while, but I guess I've pretty patched up now hence my decision to share with you all.

God bless us all.

Some ladies are very funny. You want to have a very high wedding but #1 no gum you. You are not ready to give #1 and your parents are either poor or not willing to contribute #1 and yet you want your wedding to be the talk of the town. Some of them don't don't even have job while others earn below 50k . But if you talk about wedding they wil tell you they want their wedding to be the most expensive wedding in town.

This shows that you've not come close to getting married. This is as real as it gets, even if it is fiction this the reality of 90%of men who dare propose. The OP's brave stand is what marriage is all about, you'll have to stand your ground.

My only pain here is the 5years wasted chasing the shadow of reality, the emotional fortune spent, etc. Well thank God you were set free from bondage to a potentially unhappy marriage. Just focus on getting back to yourself (financially, emotionally, mentally, etc). Las las you find find the right person for you.

God just save you from premature death without you knowing. Kindly go for thanks giving in the church and rejoice. She is not for you and there is nothing you can do to please her. Pray before proposing to any lady. Don't be carried away in your love and sex affairs. Marriage is more spiritual than physical. It happened to me before but later when I moved on. God directed an angelic wife to me and we are married now with kids happily forever.

Dude...you are yet to marry and this woman has your balls in her hand to squeeze as she likes.

When you get married Ehn...you will hear 'wen' in that marriage.

Someone is broke. Does not contribute anything to a wedding but yet want a big wedding...want to make most decision.

Biko lete ask you. As a man...what is this woman bringing into your life?

What value is she bringing on the table and into your union?

Is it sex? If it is...you can get this easily without marriage?

Is it kids? You can have a child without the stress of adding an entitled girl who cares only about herself and how the world perceives how she is seen.

Ṣeé Ehn....men do not gain anything in getting married. It is only women who has a lot more to gain.

So why should you give away your power to her? She is the one that's meant to be in your good books to be married to you! Not the other way round.

You are acting like you have more to lose if the marriage did not go ahead even though really you don't! You are just being influenced by the 'onetitis syndrom' (Google it)

That's why she is using you to catch cruise.


You have to change that game as soon as possible. You need to put your foot down as the person who pays the piper and dictate the tune.

Renegotiate the terms of your union now before you get married. Make it your own way now or the high way.

You are the one paying for the wedding. Yet you are letting her make all the decision.


Dont ever let her back in your life.no matter how much she beg.

Men need to start placing more value in themselves and seeing themselves as prices that should be wọn which in reality is the case.


men get married due to judeo-christian threats of divine punishment, curses, he'll etc that's why men tolerate all these rubbish from women sad

If you talk about long story, you also talk about the short story. The lady might be acting based on bad advice and influence. She might come back to her right senses and make a U-turn.

I will never marry girl being controlled by another man. I don't care who the person is to you. Whether a pastor or not.

If it was me, I won't have honoured the invitation from her pastor I don't care how highly or revered the pastor his. Only person I owe is the parent or direct guardian that would make me travel long distance.

We did part ways at the airport, and ever since then, we were always on calls. I did notice later that I did most of the calling, and as time went on as it must, the regular calls became once in a while, and soon, it became longer.

I did play a little with other girls and tried getting into a relationship with others, but it just didn't work out. Perhaps, I wanted the kind of love that they could not give in return. It was no surprise when years later, my calls with Celia became regular and, I didn't mind doing most of the calling.

Soon, I traveled to Abuja, and she didn't seem enthusiastic about seeing me, even though my love clawed at my heart with a renewed burst of energy. This time, I decided that I wouldn't let go. I stayed in FCT for a while, I met her family, and I guess her feelings returned.

I returned to Lagos to continue working, and some months down the line, I was in Abuja again to see the one that I loved. We agreed that she would have to come to Lagos, and some months after I left Abuja, she arrived in the rowdy Lagos.

She met my family, and I popped the question, "will you marry me?" in a romantic atmosphere, and she was so happy that she was going to spend the rest of her life with me.

We made plans until the event of Corona took place, and it greatly affected my business. I became broke, but that didn't stop me from traveling to 3 different states to meet her family members and her pastor in FCT.

We did agree that we were going to have a small wedding, and the day of the introduction came, and I traveled with my family, spent a lot of money on hotel bills, etc. It did go well, and that was when it started.

She reneged on our agreement on the size of the wedding. She told me that she wanted to have her dream wedding although she had no money. I could not bring myself to spend so much on a wedding only to end up eating hand to mouth in my marriage. It became a back and forth argument. Her dad wanted it small, but her siblings wanted it big. My mum did try to advise her, but she felt my mum shouldn't have a say in her wedding being a supposed generation Z.

I did have to look for ways she would be happy without spending too much. Then the counseling issue came, and I was informed to come back to Abuja by her pastor. It was inconvenient, so I told her to recommend virtual counseling because I'm not ready to go and spend a lot staying there. She was mad at my response, saying that it was disrespectful, suggesting such to a supposed man of God, making it disrespectful to God.

I did try to let her know that we could use the money to do something else, but she was adamant. After some time, I did succumb to her demand, but she felt that it should not have led to an argument in the first place and decided to call the wedding off. I tried calming her down and even suggested that we postpone it, but she wouldn't budge with a reason so petty. It hurt at first. It made me lose focus for a while, but I guess I've pretty patched up now hence my decision to share with you all.

God bless us all.

There's such a thing called redundancy, when you repeat a word or phrase a lot of times, it becomes redundant. There are lots of ways to show past tense in a write-up without slamming 'did' in every sentence

Move on with your life. The simple rule of dating someone you intend to marry (especially as a man) is make sure the person reciprocates your love language 110%.
Some women can be fickle but they always give signs that you're just a stopgap.

He is articulate, but being articulate doesn't stop a man from being weak in the dating world.

Note: I'm not saying he's weak in life, but in things relating to love and relationship.
I understand Sir.
