Yes, we dated for 4 years as students, proposed to her after my NYSC when I secured a job, met her family, discussed my intention and they felt we are not on the same level (full of themselves), later they even claimed that they went to investigate my family in our village and they were told that mental illness runs in our lineage.
They convinced her to abandon our marriage plans which she did instead of fighting for us, I asked her to refund part of the bulk money I gave to her for the marriage preparation which she later did because I wanted a proper closure to the relationship, felt really humiliated, locked myself inside and cried, washed my face and told myself it was time to move on.

Deleted her contact from my phone, never scooped around her social media handles, put aside all our pictures together under a locker and didn't worry myself about her anymore.

Started another relationship with a lady I was close to as friends who was very passionate about me but I didn't look at her because I was faithful to my ex.

Suddenly from the blues, my ex elder sister called me after some months that she has been erratic, cursing everyone for making her to abandon the love of her life and that the family has agreed to our plans for marriage.

Later she called me asking for forgiveness and that it was an Uncle of mine who told her family that mental illness runs in our family because he felt I was marrying into a prominent family and to a girl who works in a big establishment while his own children are scattered.

I simply told her I have moved on and wasn't gonna look back and had already started marriage plans with the lady I mentioned earlier and I even invited her to the superlative wedding we were planning in an exquisite location then.
I used the opportunity to tell her that I am wiser now as I go for only ladies who stand by their men because I am afraid if I show any signs of madness (as my uncle told her family) instead of taking me to a psychiatrist hospital, she will rather take me to a market square so that the madness will become permanent.

Today we are both married to different people and talk freely on general topics anytime she calls me, but I totally avoid making any reference to our 4 years failed relationship to avoid Okafors Law.

Yes, I had to call off the engagement due to bad character and constant malice, she was very very domineering.

that's really sad and at the same time sweet. I'm really happy you got your shit together and moved on. I don't think she completely did love you cuz she would have fought for you no matter what. That's true love and it's covers e every of our weakness. But I'm glad you got married to someone who fancied you.

To all those that voted APC in 2015:
It was love at first sight.

By 2019...they were all promised next level in the relationship: ENGAGEMENTS.


Now, you want to divorce from your darling BUBU...due to bad economy, insecurities, inflation, hunger, political assassination, national debt profile, religious intolerance, political rascality from the cabal, marginalization, victimisation, nepotism, bigotry, terrorism, banditry etc...

Don't worry we all still have two good more years of this engagements.

Mention one problem that BUBU have not cause in this corntree. cheesy

Why would you date someone you can't marry?

I thought dating is the stepping stone to engagement, then marriage...No?
