There is a reason that he is marring this late. And he has seen alot of things. probably making money late. So people of this age have seen alot of things and they like to be in control. They hate to do anything they will regret later because it make them feel like a fool forever.

He is not going to change for now. But later on. and if you show any sign of disobedience he will quit the marriage without looking back.

Pls run for your dear life. A cancelled wedding is far better than a broken marriage. By the time you marry that man, you will see more revelations. Maybe the Mother will draw out timetable for your sexual activities. Nonsence!

I am 35 years old and everybody keeps reminding me that age is no longer on my side.

My fiance and I have been dating for more than one year and we are getting married soon.

My fiance is 40 years old and he has never been married.

The relationship was really good when we started but now that our wedding is in a few weeks time, he has shown how controlling he can be.

From the choice of the wedding dress, to the bridesmaids selection, to the colour of the day, he wants to be in charge.

He also wants his mum to buy the cloth for our engagement as well as buy our wedding ring.

He does whatever his family says without seeking my opinion and it almost seems as if I am not the one getting married.

I told my parents about how this makes me feel and they just asked me to endure because I am getting older but I really fear for what is going to happen after the wedding.

Are these not red flags I should run from?

I am confused, please advise me.

Hmmm, my sister, This is my life experience. My late Sister was in your shoe then. Quite unfortunately she dead. And i will tell you she did enjoy her marriage because her husband is just who you described here.
I still grief her because I personally saw it on their wedding day I prayed for her. But I can't change anything. I loss her. A very terrible experience.

Please draw a clue from my story. Run for the family or wait for another man who will marry you.
How long was she in the marriage for? Any kids? undecided

Let me make things clear. You can seek the face of God to get a wife, did you do what he says to keep the marriage? So don’t make seeking God’s face regarding marriage look like evil. You should refer to millions of marriages that failed without seeking God and those that sought other gods.
No such thing as seeking Gods face. See below - you are to find a wife not God finding for you

Proverbs 18:22 KJV

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favour of the LORD.

Are you an asset or a liability?
The one you are will determine the limit of your control.
If at 35, you are not an asset, know that the guy is doing you a favor and maybe his money comes from his family.

I don't believe that women are treated like slaves by men. Men have always taken risks to satisfy women in the name of love and yet many get nothing in return for it. Love must be reciprocal else it will fail. Responsibility to make a successful marriage lies in the hands of the parties. When one person bears the burden of making the marriage work, it will get to a point where the person won't be able to carry it anymore, and that will mark the begging of the end of the marriage.

Until you live out of Nigeria you will understand how badly women have been treated in Nigeria. I am not telling you to believe but I tell you from experience. I have seen countless men control their wives and refused them to get a job all because they are afraid of losing that control.
Beside what people call love in Nigeria is actually a bribe to get something in return.
The one an only act of real love in marriage as a man is to be a servant, serving your wives and kids happily. And this is hard in Nigeria
Peace out.

Who says a woman cannot live without being married? Why is the Nigerian society so toxic towards single women?

Look if you have noticed these signs before marriage, just know that it will continue after marriage as well. If you are really saying the truth about him being very controling and domineering, as well as always listening to his family and you having no say in any decision making, then lady you have a serious decision to make. Cheers.

Best analysis so far? Her message makes me feel she's a liability age & financial wise else, no family will ever try controlling her marriage. Madame age is not on ur side. Discuss ur fears with a marriage counselor & take him there before ur parent disown u for losing this one again. No 40Yrs guy would wish family control but if his source of income is via same family. He will definitely take control. If u lose this one., Enough babes in the wing ready to pounce.

Nigeria is a patriarchal country first of all, secondly the economy is messed up, western men won't bear half the burden men bear in Nigeria, most times women are still treated right just that they want to absorb authority and lead the home, which is prevalent whenever they're taking outside Nigeria, next thing is divorce, they don't even consider men that married and sponsored them abroad, it's a give and take world

You don't need advice. Marriage between two partners can only work out if one of them is blind to the other's faults. Age is not on your side does not mean that you accept anything. But my candid advice is that you do NOT cancel the marriage for these reasons. No marriage is perfect. No perfect woman or man. A guy can be on the exact opposite radar of these faults but be a 1. Womanizer 2. Woman beater 3. Ritualist or yahoo yahoo 4. Drunkard. There are as many reasons to leave a guy as there are stars in the sky. Be understanding. Do not complain. Let hm be in charge, he is the oga. Sit him down and remind him of all these issues. But dont make an issue out of it. Go close to the family and gradually take back your man. He's a mummy's boy. Be close to the mum. Dont complain. make her a priority. She will love u back and relinquish ur rights with time. Dont push. Be subtle. Good luck.

Bitter Pills here

I don't see anything wrong in what the guy is doing. At 40 marriage obviously is not what matters to him. Also if it is about the wedding it's not for both of you but third parties, that is how it is in Nigeria. Left to normal cause you can have court wedding and that is all. All this wedding casala we disturb ourselves about is to satisfy third parties.
Madam get married and submit to your man else remain single for life. You can't eat your cake and yet have it

Nigeria is patriarchal, yet they call themselves educated, civilized and modern. They better refer to themselves as cavemen.
Again the economy is messed, because they wallow in ignorant and stupidity which drags their country behind.
Again, by their genetic makeup, women are designed to yearn for the love of their husband, that’s why the desire of every woman is to find love and marry and have a home, but it’s the men who turn them to beast and make them want otherwise.

Madam you are not even in the position to complain! Your youth which is highly priced by men when looking for a wife is gone. Note that men are always looking for these 5 things in no order of importance when looking for long term relationships or wiife:
- Respect, Youth, Homeliness, Loyalty and Submissiveness.
1. You are well past your prime in the marriage market & you are exceptionally lucky to find an unmarried man to want to wife you.
2. The marriage is aleady set on a path of turbulence if not destruction because of your thinking that he is your equal in marriage and should ‘seek your opinion’ In decision making.
3. Your duty as a wife is to be submissive, homely, loyal and respectful. Love from you is a small factor that CANNOT keep you married to any man. It looks like you lack most of the other 4 critical factors remaining for you that can keep a woman in marriage.

I suggest you don’t get married until you have worked on yourself and is ready to stay married, because you clearly are not ready.

Nothing will happen in the marriage my dear. In his own eyes, he believes that he his doing you a huge favor by getting married to you because, he thinks that age is no longer on your side so therefore, you cannot be chooser. Wait and allow him and his family to conclude with the marriage of a thing and then, you will let him know that it is the woman that owns the house not the man.
