TOPCRUISE:
Be careful that the 3 months should not become years. Also what both you were doing while studying each other even if it is within a space of 2 years should be consequential enough to be focused on marriage. It doesn't mean you should accept within 3 months.

Ahh, finally.

Good afternoon.

I don't understand the romance section. Everyone seems combative, both men and women.

Alpha male, feminist, simps and all sorts of weird nomenclatures they call each other in anger. You guys should drink some water and chill so that we can discuss and learn from each other .

Come, Bia,

What work will you do in the abroad?

If you guys have not discussed you career there, that may be what is making him think that you will milk him.

Even if he is one of those "Alfa Mails" who say that their wives won't work. For your own good, get a career, healthcare is one.

Naija girls who travel have insane work ethic. They almost always earn good money, even udner table (food, hair).

SERIOUSLY consider healthcare related work if you have nothing planned.

Lool.
You are absolutely right. People are blind when they want to be.

Also, all these Alfa Mails with their rules are laughable. Any lady (and ladies are smarter than men in this relationship thing) can easily play them, tick all their boxes, and still control the relationship. Especially in the abroad.

These Alfa Mails are setup to fail.

People need to come correct: males & females.

You're a very insincere person. I told you to show me where I insulted you and you're bringing up another thing.

My beef is with you. I have never reported you when you insult Nigerian girls I ignore but when you insult me directly, that's the only time I report.

So because the breast is not big, that's why it's okay to cybersexually harass me. I swear this you people's mentality ehn, very disgusting! angry

I'll continue mentioning you when you type rubbish.

Come-on, let's not act like beginners.

People, of various self-ascribed "identities", have done these things you mentioned.

Magnolia comes to mind, but I haven't interacted or seen her (if the handle is really female) in months. There are others. There's another lady who is a bit older and purposefully bitter, I forget her username now.

All these gender fights are super stupid.

Shall we address this now... So tell me... a self-described identity that has done one or two things there... how? Which things? How have I been bitter?
Re: Problem With Abroad Boyfriend,i Need Advice by cooooooks(m): 1:22pm On Jul 14, 2022
Nne, you have a job in Nigeria.

How can you transfer the qualifications in the States? Have you started the process?

Also, as a pharmacist, you should/may be able to gain admission for a Masters or even something else like Nurse Practitioner, or Physician Assistant.

This makes an earlier comment more relevant: if you guys are unsure of marriage, perhaps a "real relationship", including the physical nearness (not necessarily living together) would help firm up the decision in you guys' minds.

Frankly, you may decide that you don't want to marry him

Why did you choose this particular dude
Look in the mirror .. within the 2years of not being with the guy .. how many dudes have you had sexual intercourse?
Was this dude your option A /main guy you loved?
What are you bringing to the union?
Do you truely want to build a future /home / generational wealth for unborn kids with this dude ?
Are you emotionally and mentally ready for marriage and it’s upheavals?
Are you finically independent or have a means for financial independence?
What is the added value you are offering to the guys life for him to appreciate and respect you

Sit down and ask yourself questions be truthful and real to your soul !

Ire oo
He comes home every year
The first here he stayed for 5months
It’s not like I haven’t seen him in 2 years
I have never dated anybody,I am busy and don’t have any reason to

He’s my option A and I love him and I felt he did too(before this talk)

I am working pharmacist ,I might not be as rich as him but I am okay on my own

He talks about how smart I am too ,with me by his side,I have lots of investment plans but Na money no just dey

And right from time never even liked U.S ,always wanted to go to canada and he knows this

But because time is going I want to marry and travel with my family

Calm down. You're sounding agitated and that's the combativeness I was speaking of. Your aggression is misplaced and totally unnecessary.

You didn't understand my text in context. I was speaking generally about the name calling in the romance section. I don't venture into the romance section, only when a thread is moved to the frontpage ...and everytime I've noticed that the commenters are usually combative and I wonder why that is.

LMAO. Okay, but you mentioned "feminists" there, and I am asking, of all the topics that you see hitting FPs, which of the menace are feminists or caused by them?

Magnolia swallows Western "men are inherently bad and have priviledge" talking points hook, line & sinker.

Poco, seemed to think that Nigerian men are just bad. Like she had given up on Naija men (due to her experiences), hence the "bitter".

These are what I recall from my interactions with both monikers.

I can see someone proposing marriage to someone they hitherto knew but only DATED for 3 months. Especially if they're older than 27.

If it is someone completely new, that is crazy. I personally think at least 2 years.

I would point out that some other conditions could hasten marriage. E.g: I know of at least 1 couple that met in a group for single people planning (seriously) to japa. They met ~ 2019 in Nigeria, married late 2019, japa-ed in 2020 and already have 2 kids.

Toor. Apparently, our resident alfa mails do not believe this. Nehi, they change the rules of the game at will so they are perpetually not to be blamed.

Hi everyone, so me and my bf have been dating for 2years + now, no issues. He’s in the states and I am in Nigeria.

The problem started when I started talking about marriage cos I want to settle down.
Now he told me he feels I want to use him to travel abroad, that statement really pissed me off because at the beginning of the relationship he was the one that wanted to marry like 3months after we started but I told him I wasn’t ready and I didn’t know him enough.

So which one is I want to use him to travel now??

I feel like maybe because I keep talking about the marriage stuff, that’s why he thinks it’s because of traveling.

I’m thinking it’s only break up that can solve the issue. Cos if it comes from me, then that’s a clear message I’m not dating for abroad
Or how do I solve this issue??

Ps he has been U.S citizen from the beginning of our relationship.
Just didn’t accept cos he might be a serial killer or woman beater or something, I didn’t know him well enough.

At the back of your mind, you know what he said is true.

I don't understand what these useless men go struggle go make money and want to condescend to marry below their status.

Aunty, This is what I know about a Nigerian being a US Citizen in the space of 2 years +, If your so-called bf left Nigeria 2 or 3years ago and now He is a citizen of America, Just forget it, He is just using you to catch cruise, He has found akata(oyinbo, white ladies) who is dating or probably married her to get that citizenship, So, my advice is...just move on..

...I come in peace. Shalom.

Yes. The two both of us be deemons residing inside one body. One can manifest at any time. Different traits, etc., but cut from the same cloth.

So look at this now... imagine what you are accusing us of... she thinks Naija men are bad because of her experiences, ba... okayyyyy, because say you dey her life or na from comments here wey you dey read?

Me, I have swallowed men are inherently bad and have privileges... oh. That's all? That's the only crime Magnolia has committed? Mtcheeww. E no even vex me reach Poco own. grin I thought you had more damaging facts against me ni o. All the I'm a lesbian, a baby mama that has been serially* used and dumped no feature?

Because these are things y'all say about us, but when we come for their heads, we suddenly become the troublemakers. undecided

No, you, you do not think this character misrepresentation and being spread by others as facts - all glimpsed from our comments - is not enough to make one angry?

Your guy has insecurities about you relocating to the US.You guys need to talk about it,define your relationship,give him an ultimatum.
If he doesn’t want to loose you,he will do the right thing but if he gives a non chalant attitude about it,know that you in for a long thing(booty calls).

Has he met your parents to introduce himself?
Was he married before?

Something is missing here, you are not telling us the entire story btw u and d guy.
He might have caught u or sense disloyalty from you before. I can't categorically blame and conclude against u though, but while telling him this, don't sound desperate.
The mistake u made here is u shud have opened up that u people can't just rush into marriage within those time u guys just met, that he shud give you time to study each other. It will have been another thing. Keep praying too, who knows may be your enemies are against u marrying to Yankee man. grin

Well I think he ended up seeing that you are not what he needs as a wife

Move on, you are a woman and from my understanding it is amusing to a man when you are the one to propose marriage.

Until a man is ready, he cannot be talked into marrying you. Your post clearly shows that he is either not ready to get married now or he does not find you wifeable

Move on o, stop waiting for abroad man. Better still work hard and go to abroad by yourself

Ah. How will I know about baby mama-ship (which cannot even be an insult as a strong minority of our people are baby mamas/papas).

These are the overall themes that I recall from interactions. Perhaps, if it was a year ago, I would have had more specific issues.

As for the guys, I respond to them too. Even on this trend, there is a guy that has colonial mentality with the white women or nothing mindset.

Even in an earlier comment, I said gender wars are stupid. That, surely, was directed to all. Finally, I have been using the "Alfa Mail" phrase to parody many (fake) men's rights rabble rousers (I believe I got that from Loreettaa).

Do you see now...
