Isn’t that the standard? Blame everyone but yourself?

That is why I will continue to commend Linda Ikeji for having that boy. She did what a right thinking woman should do. Not taking postinor 2 at 38.

If you want a child and you can cater for that child, by all means have that child. Even small girls of 21 are having their babies. Then a grown financially independent woman in her late 30s is somewhere asking “hope you didn’t cum inside”. undecided undecided

People must talk. When they are done talking, they will move on. With time they’ll appreciate the decision you took years ago.



I am 43. Not me.




No need for that. Menopause came early.

Hope you have kids...

I hate it. I’m 41, never married, no kids.

I’ve been close…twice. But ended both relationships when they were caught cheating.

I’ve dated several men since then, most older than me, and they seemed to be in no hurry to even be in a committed relationship. Which is crazy to me that these men are mid-40s and still trying to hangout with the guys and party. I met a whole guy group of friends in Houston 2 years ago…all single, all 36–45 years old. They were throwing house parties during the quarantine…parties!! ��

When I was in grade school, I was told to get a degree, don’t get pregnant, just enjoy being single, make friends, keep dating, and the right man will find you.

Now that I have two degrees, traveled the world, developed hobbies, and avoided pregnancy…my doctors are telling me to just be a single mom because I’m running out of eggs as I type this message. �

I beat teenage pregnancy to be considering single motherhood at 41. �

Damn you, parents, counselors, pastors, and everyone who gave me that advice. I can’t get that time (or my eggs) back. I hate being single at this age!! ��

Happiness is a choice, don't allow some artificial rules to determine happiness for you.

See some societal rules and regulations, though established for good intent are not meant for everyone. Instead of creating a caveat that will enable people to understand this, the society will want to force it down the throat of everyone.

Bros, when people like this talk about unhappiness or complain, it is not because of societal rules; it is a discontent from inside.

Tbh you need to consider why you feel this pressure to have these things. Be sure it’s because you want it, not because you’re worried about what the society will say about you. If you really want a companion, you can try going out more often or try dating apps to expand your options. Don’t reduce your standards. You can also have a child right now if you want. No shame in single motherhood.

I remember speaking with this lady who is of Nigerian decent sometimes ago here in the states. We spoke and had an interesting conversation. She’s single with no kids. Family pressures to marry cause she’s in her 30s. Not sure I’m ready for marriage but I’m open about it if the energy is �. We spoke that day but for some reason, we didn’t speak or text after some days- about a week. After a week, she texted me and I was like lol… see who messaged.

I didn’t care if we get to talk but her text after a week reaffirms that women need to up their game in this generation. Conversations should be 50/50 especially if you feel the guy fits in your spec. Do not expect men to do the running’s cause at the end, our eggs doesn’t run low. Make efforts in every possible relationship (if the guy matches your vibe) and see how the event unfolds naturally.


Thanks

And you are not even sure if you can get pregnant. It is though at your age especially being a woman. I think men tend to go for younger ladies save few. You will be single forever if care is not taken.

Some men I don't blame them due to disappointments they've gone through. They be like "let me just live my life to the fullest".
Haha just like myself bro there is this girl I love like die during our university days but this girl was forming hard to get, though I'm handsome thank God, but I it's because I wasn't financial stable then, now Aunty want me back NEVER! It's their problem when boys where Young we will be given free love but no they want to explore, until it's too late they will try to pin you down! Though it's there choice then so let them deal with it, now is my choice too Bleep love let me enjoy myself too

Nairaland males will stop at nothing to drag women all over the streets of Nairaland. They formed redpill to troll and insult women here, they're ignored, they descend to writing lies with fake monikers and gather enough traction to send it to Fp.
They'll still be ignored.

Date the guys that you know would want to marry you. You appear to be making a choice not to date them.

I know this story is FAKE. One NL guy just created this thread to fill up his male ego. All the same, I will still drop my advice. Severally I have advised ladies who weren't lucky to find their spec of husband, to get a child. If you know you will not be able to spend your future alone/with extended family, then do the needful. Either you marry an available suitor, have your kids, and dump him or you adopt a baby. In the case of the OP she left two serious relationship because the guys cheated, what stopped her from marrying him strictly for the kids, then dump him if she can't cope with his unfaithfulness? Today she is blaming her good family members who encouraged her to develop herself academically and career wise. What makes her think she would have been happier if she married any of the men? I agree that children give joy to a woman, but I do not think a bad husband can give a woman any joy. Nature Isn't fair, some are having babies in their 40s comfortably, while at just 41 someone is worried about eggs. It's not too late to marry just any man,...... go on outings, join dating sites, they will matchmake you, etc. Improve your diet. Take folic acid, b.co, and other good suppliments. Stop blaming those who encouraged you to get a comfortable future.

Really complicated

I have an older cousin whose then fiancee cheated on, the lady was hell bent on ending the relationship, the guy apologize but my cousin was having none of that

All of a sudden, the guy met with my parents and the ladies parents, they intervened and advise my cousin to proceed with the marriage v cool shocked shocked my younger self was furious shocked shocked how can they not support ending things with a cheater

Then an elderly family woman told me something that forever shaped my view of things, she said and I quote " even the so called good ones, majority of them still cheat shocked shocked" if you judge male by cheating alone you will hate them all, including your brothers, nephews and I'll just exclude your father out of respect, haa big madam that's is too much, that's what my mum calls words that can scatter house infact this one can scatter the whole wide world, but this woman insist she said it and will say it again and again

Back to my cousin and her fiancee, they got married and as far as I know things have been going on very well between them, my aunt seems generally happy and accomplished and they've been leaving their life and moving on with their kids, the fiance turn husband is very caring to both wife and kid, doesn't smoke and not a troublesome flair

Up till now me myself I'm still confused, since then I don't usually trust popular/general opinion anymore but will rather look each and individual case

And what one person did and it went well another may try it and it will go bad and vice versa

Some popular opinion only exit on the media or the internet.

It’s so sad that a lot of people are going to fall into this thread advising and trolling women in a demeaning way, due to your story.

It’s pathetic you are doing Mr Peter Ade…., Most likely from ifetedo, oyo state or ekiti state, whichever of this profile is banked on the internet. I mean with your most likely failed blogging career…..

Going through your profile, you are man assuming to be a woman in order to stir the workings of all these sore woman haters, churning out vile and ugly comments. First off, you are not a woman, you are male COWard, a coward at that with no balls.

2. if you are a woman and you are single at over 30, own that shitt, Life continues, adopt kids. They are humans, find love in your place of religion, supermarket, dating sites and live the life out of your life.


You are pathetic op and go find a job or something, trolling even makes you more distasteful
