How Do I Tell My Unmarried Elder Sister That She Is Getting Too Old? by IntelChief(op): 7:08pm On Oct 15, 2022
My elder sister is around 32 years and still not serious with marriage. Her only focus is on making money and she had been very successful in that aspect. She has a well paying job and is not only comfortable but also supports me financially sometimes.

But I just can't imagine why she is not disturbed about the fact that she is still single at her age. A lot of guys I know had been approaching her but she never accepts even a relationship offer from them, talk more of marriage. (And am very sure that she is not a lesbian or any of that).

As a church guy, I have seen a lot of women stock in this not being married thing and jumping from one church to the other seeking for husbands. Some of them, out of desperation, fall victims in the hands of fake pastors and sharp guys. I really don't want my sister to go through such.

Initially, I wasn't disturbed, but right now, this issue is burning not only me but also my aging mother. My mother had even stylishly urged my sister to go get married on several occasions. But she won't.

What really got me mad was when I was discussing with my sister some days back about her future plans. She told me stuffs like planning on travelling abroad for greener pastures, bla bla bla, but made no mention of marriage.

Honestly guys, I am tired. And as a man in the family, I am thinking of changing it for my sister. Am planning on threatening her that if she doesn't take the issue of marriage serious, I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons. But the issue is that she is my elder sister and I have some respect for her. And my action might end up affecting the bond in the family.

Are you married OP?
Re: How Do I Tell My Unmarried Elder Sister That She Is Getting Too Old? by tempest95(m): 7:22pm On Oct 15, 2022
In my humble opinion, I think it's her life and she can decide how she wants to live it.

If she was really serious about marriage, she would have done something about it a long time ago.

Going physical about it is just causing unnecessary gender based and domestic violence. No matter how violent you are, if she doesn't want to get married, you can't FORCE her.

Or would you kill her? undecided

And why don't you emulate your ancestors' way of life by ditching your mobile phone, so as to stop posting about a happy lady that's not married?

Re: How Do I Tell My Unmarried Elder Sister That She Is Getting Too Old? by Starz825(m):
Marriage is not a must or by force actually...

But some ladies who are ignorant of their present age or are willing to remain unmarried tend to mostly regret their decision later in the future- could be when they sight other women's kids
.they get to feel somehow

You can talk to her about it....if she's really ready for it...I mean to remain unmarried...

Cos she looks like someone who is not ignorant but rather determined to remain unmarried...

Whatever her choice is
Wish her the best...
It's her life

1. Clearly, your sister is not as small-minded as you seem to be as an individual. undecided

2. So because of that, you expect the same will happen to your sister even though she does not seem to be concerned about such things even now? undecided

3. So, because she didn't mention marriage and to you, marriage is an ultimate achievement, you would rather have a situation where your sister is dragged into living in the same tiny world you obviously exist in? undecided

4. I put it to you that there is absolutely nothing wrong with your sister as she seems to have a clear idea of what she wants for herself and her life. You, on the other hand, don't even seem to know your left from your right and that seems why you think it is your place to push your views on your sister, going as far as to claim you are the man in the family and all that rubbish talk. undecided

Leave the woman alone and focus on getting your life correct abeg! undecided

Drop her contact.. may be she has not seen her spec yet
Re: How Do I Tell My Unmarried Elder Sister That She Is Getting Too Old? by jetwonder(m): 8:03pm On Oct 15, 2022
grin You can never chose a husband for your sister no matter how you love her.
For Example; what if all the men that approach her are saying ( this p**sy is too wide)
Or; she's saying am ok with my Love Machine!
So you can only pray for her. Period!!!

Mind your business, Mr getting old for marriage. You should be more concerned about the quality of Nigerian marriages than of the age one gets married.

Na waaa oh...

This dingbat will have one or two things negative to say about Hisbah, Boko Haram, or ISiS, if they go forcing him to live by their backward rule book. This applies to everyone who is quick to call for the death or murder of LGBTQIetc.

Live and let's live.

Please go physical and teach her a lesson. You can even murder her so that she will not only be old, she will be dead and old.

Marriage is not for everyone and if you value it that much, then you yourself should find a wife, get married and mind your own business.

You're not even ashamed to say that you're planning on threatening to go physical on someone who clothes you and feeds you. undecided undecided undecided
