Oluromantic:
My advice is to give a little more push. I'm saying this because most resourceful ladies might also find it difficult to submit. I know there may be a lot of ranting and criticisms about submission but I'm giving you a honest advice as a realist for your future. Nothing makes you a fulfilled man than to have a resourceful wife that allows you to be in charge: such women are very rare. Once they can work hard on their own, submission with their money gradually slides out...it's psychological.

Now considering the fact that you can't find all you need in one person, you have to weigh your options which emphasizes the role of grooming. Grooming means training her to soothe your taste or standard. To be frank, it might not be a sweet experience at first but it's worth it. The point is you're not ready yet, when you're ready, you will drill her seriously and your love for her is the fuel. I did it for my wife. Anything that gives you peace of mind as you said; that she has good character, should be seriously guided and guarded. Only few women will give you such peace despite their imperfections.

Start from a small level, get her a shop if you can afford it to start selling provisions or likely things and monitor her totally so far she's not pissed to say you're domineering. In my case, my wife enjoyed my control and that made it easy for me. She said she likes the disciplinary love and that someone is mad over her. Now she's super-productive, she even charges me for her services and collects her money promptly. Business is business. I trained her.

Firstly, I am a guy who is goal driven. I work my ass off to ensure that I earn a living and this has left me with hating anyone who is lazy.
I met my fiance about a year ago. We don't reside in the same town but we talk everyday. When we started dating, she had told me she was done with schooling but she had a few issues which have prevented her from graduating. According to her, she finished in 2019 but has not been cleared because of those issues.

In the first few months that we started dating, I asked her why she was idle since the school was yet to clear her. I further advised that she should start something rather than stay at home. She told me then that she would like to produce and sell a particular commodity. I asked her what it required for her to start. She told me and I provided those things and travelled all the way to see her and hand those items over to her. Few weeks after that, I asked how the business was doing - she went from one story to the other. I was pissed because I thought she could have put all those excuses into consideration before letting me go through the stress of providing those items - It is not about the money for it wasn't much, but her lukewarm interest in pursing goals. Truth is that she never started the trade.

I let that slide and we moved on... Each day I noticed she doesn't have the desire to pursue goals. I mean, how could she have stayed over 3years at home without learning any skill or being purposeful. When it was clear that she wasn't being purposeful, I told her crystal clear that I would not want to be with anyone who lacks purpose or isn't resourceful. In response, she told me that she would work harder and do something. But as each day passed, it was the same old story. Right now, she teaches at a school - this was after a lot of pushing, and forcing and begging and all of that. Even, of the teaching, she complains that it is stressful.

She visited my family house twice. The first time she visited, I had to literally tell her to help in the sweeping of the house the morning following the night she arrived, which she did - I mean, I expected her to know (without being told) that that was expected of her as a first-time visitor in the frame of a prospective wife/in-law. Even as a man, you don't stay inside the room when you visit a family especially when they are doing chores - that was how I was raised. Maybe it isn't a general expectation, but that was how I was raised (Don't crucify me).

As it stands now, she isn't cleared yet and each time I tell her to go to the school, she would either reply reluctantly or get upset. Moreso, she doesn't have a skill. The truth is that, though she is nice, a virgin apparently, she may end up depending on me 100%. Given the way Nigeria is, one needs a partner who can support one. Also, coupled with the fact that though she loves me 100%, she is not very exposed (a bit timid), and lacks the desire to be independent, hardworking or achieve her own goals.

We had discussed marriage, though I have not proposed yet. Conversely, right now, I am having a rethink which has caused me to be a bit withdrawn and retrogressive. I do not want a spouse who would drag me backwards, I have suffered a lot to get to where God placed me - I don't want a setback given that my family partly depends on me. From all indications, I don't know whether she will be able to handle and account for a business if one is established for her.

Even though the decision to either proceed with or withdraw from marriage is solely mine, I'd like a piece of advice.

For matured folks.... What do you think?

boborosky:
Why are u this bitter?.... If you read the article well, I highlighted that the decision to continue or withdraw is solely mine, however, a piece of advice would do.

Secondly, I am not destroying anyone cos no identity was published. I even withheld the type of commodity she wanted to trade - I was being discreet.

Lastly, You were not forced to comment, just take your bitter self somewhere else....... Neither do I give a rat's ass about you.

LandMann:
You have to weigh the risks and rewards of having her as a life partner...

The way you're going with trying to secure your future with a woman who's working, you may end up with a disloyal and disrespectful wife.

The probability of finding a resourceful, fulltime employed woman who will be loyal, respectful and serve the duties of a wife diligently in Nigeria is 1%.

I wish you all the best

Reminderz:
another relationship wahala...

1) see ehn, she has already showed you that she's a lazy woman who doesn't want to do anything, even if you marry her as a full house wife, you'll still end up taking care of the house yourself... she's a lazy woman and if you marry her, your kids will become very lazy as well and which will affect them greatly... she has shown you that was how was brought up - to depend totally on someone or the man who's to be her husband...

You have two choices in this case, if you marry her, you must be prepared to marry another wife or get a maid... if you are a man who's programmed his mind to get only one wife, ready to work as a slave for the woman till you die which she basically does nothing to improve or reduce the stress in your life... and don't forget, your kids will be greatly affected too... when considering marriage, always picture your kids with the person you're currently dating to see how she will handle it.. how she handle your space is how she will handle the kids...

2) because she's a virgin and so what?? in as much I advise men into going for virgins, they shouldn't sleep on it.. and you said you're in a long distance relationship, hmm I wouldn't say much that, but don't rely on her that she won't cheat on you...
you are already investing so much in this woman and you've even taken her to see your parents while you noticed all these red flags, I would say you acted based on emotional feelings and you were not being logical... never be in a rush to quicky introduce a woman for marriage to your parents without first seeking professional advice from them or without first scrutinising your prospective mate.. virginity and a woman's past should be a factor to check out for when considering a woman for a real relationship, but that's not the only thing to look out for in a woman... in fact, we have so many types of virgin now compared to the full virgin in mind, body and soul...

3) I can say you've really done enough for her... a woman who's ready to work just need a little push or opportunity and she will work.. nor be person be Dammy wey dey cook abi she nor see her mate? she's a liability and she will be when you eventually marry her.. she's shown you her real self and it's now left for you to enter the danger by yourself...

remember all these investments you're doing for the sake of your relationship is making you more emotionally attached to her which will haunt you later if she later dumps you after sucking another guy's dick or you've finally upgraded her passed the level you founded her.. I feel she's still young, and I feel you're even the one pushing to get married asap to her and not her doing the pressuring... bro, I just pray it doesn't end in tears... you can't change a woman when it comes to her personality, don't think you can....

Lanmon:
There are some positives in what I've read and there are the green and red lights u here blinking
Now u already know she's not productive, no goals she's very probably heading to being a full-time house wife and will depend on u 100 percent for needs even from her family(no forget o)
Now my question for u is "are u capable of handling her needs, ur needs, the needs of ur future family with her, her family's needs ND ur family too...if yes go ahead n I pray u are more successful than u ever imagined but if no please look for another lady who is productive.

Peace be unto u✌️

Of all the things I wrote, the only thing you understood was that I am a stingy man. Well done

VTJN:
if you truly love her then you can change her.

Allisgud:
Not being resourceful is a different thing,being lazy and don't know when to tidy up a dirty house is worst,ur house will be full of rats and cockroach, children are always close to the mother so they will take her as role model,I know a couple like that

PythonLearner:
Don't deceive yourself by believing you can change people. You can only motivate. You can't change noone

liamjakes247:
Mine is so resourceful but not good in character,she doesn't listen. Good character is almost everything. For the resourcefulness, you can coach her
